Worst naval film
The bbc is currently showing Under Siege.This has got to be the worst naval film ever apart from u-571:nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope:

anything including steven segal is automaticaly ruined.
including the straight to video 'submerged' |
My vote for worst naval flick was Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck. I think it was described once as a infamous surprise attack on an unsuspecting love triangle.
The scene I cringed at most was when they blew some huge pyrotechnics behind some mothballed Knox-Class frigates and Spurance-Class destroyers with the box launchers for the modern anti-submarine rockets clearly visible. Yeah...real immersive. |
Just reading these titles and reliving the experience of watching these movies makes me want to vomit, my immune system actually thought about taking me out in the middle of these film debacles.

Actually I don't mind Under Seige - it makes no pretention of being realistic and thats the point. Pearl Harbour claimed to be an accurate film. |
Re Pearl Harbor
Take away the three lead actors, the awful love interest, and some dodgy shots, clearly intended for its teenage audience there is actually some very good cinematography in the film. A ruthless re-edit could produce a reasonably good film. |
Anyone seen Phantom Below??? According to the reviews I read so far, this one would probably go places in this rating.. :hmm:
As for Under Siege, IMHO it's quite good for a Seagal movie. Popcorn movie, sure, but it never wanted to be anything else, so I dont think one can hold this against the movie. How was Submerged??? I'm always thinking about renting it just for the fun of it... Does Hot Shots I count in this topic?! :88) |
hot shots part 1 is a mint film.
ive seen phantom below (tides of war) i wish i hadnt. |
Under Siege? Let's see...Erika Eleniak topless...lots of violence...Gary Busey in drag...at least one great line ("The safest place on this ship is right behind you!")...
What's not to love? Sure it's awful, but it kind of falls into the "so bad it's good" category. Of course I'll say nice things about it, but I'll never watch it again. |
There was a moral to the movie Under Siege:
Never stand on deck when they fire the 16" guns Quoted by: Tommy Lee Jones JIM |
Watched Under Siege like 5/6 times (but really no more than 2 times complete, in the others I stopped just after Erika Eleniak popped from the cake)
So, I donīt know if I enjoyed Under Siege or Erika Eleniak topless. |

When one of the japanese bombs drop next to the guy lying behind the sandsacks. It doesn't explode so the guy stands up and yells "It's a dud!" and BOOOM!!! the bomb goes off immediately... I dunno but I kinda laughed hysterically the next 15 minutes after that :lol: Wonder if the beers I had already drank had something to do with it :hmm: |
He probably should have yelled: This movie is a dud! :lol:
When it first came out in the theaters, I took my father, an Air Force veteran who was about ten years old at the time of the actual Dolittle Raid to see it. He shook his head through a lot of the movie but the scene which really got him was when they removed Josh Hartnett's body off the C-47 transport plane in a pine box after returning from the raid over Tokyo. "THEY DRAGGED HIS DEAD BODY ALL OVER JAPANESE-OCCUPIED CHINA?...YA GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME!" I still howl when I think about it. :lol: |
