Steven Segal vs. Jean Claude Van Damme vs. Chuck Norris

Only movie I've seen all the way through with Van Damme is Street Fighter.

Course, now when I think Steven Segal I visualize Will Sasso on Mad TV. "Mmm, what's that? Oh yeah, that's the taste of victory!"
 
Seagal was reputedly the first foreigner ever to own and operate an aikido dojo in Japan (though his in-laws, and not himself, were the actual owners): the Aikido Tenshin Dojo in the city of Osaka. Seagal claims that he battled the yakuza (Japanese mafia) over the rights to the Aikido Tenshin Dojo, which he claims that his wife's father lost in a gambling game; however, his former wife Miyako Fujitani, claims "it's a lie", and that he "yelled at some drunks, but never fought anyone".

Fujitani likewise claims that Seagal never properly earned his aikido titles ? a claim supported by the fact that Seagal, despite claiming world-class fighting skills, never has once competed in any notable match-up ? while, like-wise, either losing or surrendering to all physical confrontations; however, advanced rank in Aikido does not rely on "match ups", but examinations by superior teachers.

Where's this from? Whoever says that he either loses or surrenders to all physical confrontations should provide a source. I find that VERY hard to believe - not even I would lose every physical confrontation, and he's steven freakin' segal.
 
SETI thought they had discovered extraterrestrial life, but later discovered it was just a small town that Chuck Norris drop-kicked into planetary orbit.

and so it begins....
 
Easily, Steven Segal kicks the most ass. Only ignorant internet poseurs would think otherwise. 😛

It's hard actor-wise...but i have to go with Norris. Segal is embarrassingly bad, but Norris is corny and lame. Corny and lame is worse.

Sorry but Seagal in his prime was a serious motherf***er. Dude was the first white man to open a dojo in Tokyo, right?

I saw a documentary detailing his training regimen early on. This guy would train in one of the most hard-core dojos for 8+ hours a day, through broken bones, open wounds and the like. He did this for YEARS. Not to mention that when he wasn't training he would go looking for streetfights to keep honing his skills. There's a huge effin' difference between this level of training and commitment and winning some tournament with your fancy no-look spinning backwards roundhouse kicks.

Yeah he may be a crappy actor, a cheeseball activist, and make low-rent films, but if you know much about martial arts you know that Chuck's fighting style and Steven's are not compatible. Chuck may have been an outstanding striker, but Seagal would've grabbed that devastating kick in mid-air, forcibly removed Chuck's kneecap, and then pile-driven his ass into the floor head-first. Finishing move to the back of Chuck's neck would be about .02 seconds later.

the rest of you should listen to this guy ^ he speaks truth.

take a gander at Segal's first 4-5 flicks (up until Under Siege, I think). Amazingly better than the last decade of filth that he's been responsible for. Hard to Kill and Marked for Death were pretty badass. (...not that they were "great," of course)

None of those others could handle a candle to Segal in his day. It wouldn't even be close.
 
Segal is so full of crap it is practically falling out of his fat ass. He couldn't beat up my grandmother. Most of his "accomplishments" are either exaggerrated or just plain made up lies. He said he was a secret agent, etc, but there is absolutely no proof of any of that. Now compare that to Chuck Norris who was a multiple time world champion in the ring, and in fact I remember seeing some of his matches in the ring where he knocked guys out so hard ( a la Crocop) that there were unconcious for almost 5 minutes. You guys are dreaming if you think either Van Damme or Segal wouldn't get their ass kicked by Chuck, even a 70 year old Chuck. Who is the worst actor is debatable since none of them are Academy Award winners.......:laugh:



This should solve the debate........Text
 
Steven Segal had an abolsute great movie - Under Siege. Gary Busey & Tommy Lee Jones as the bad guys.


Worst actor goes to - Van Damme


 
How can anyone use the word "Actors" and Steven Segal, Jean Claude Van Damme or Chuck Norris in the same sentence with a straight face.

What would you call 'em?

"Chuck Norris retired with a karate record of 65?7-2, having avenged all of his defeats"

that alone should tell you. the guy was/is a real badass.

Wait....Chuck lost 7 times. Whether he "avenged" the losses or not does not negate he was beaten.
