- Several posters have commented that Mr. Seagal's movies are realistic. I
- assume what is meant is "technically accurate"? After all, I'd hardly consider
- a civilian involved in a car chase down a city street firing through his
- windshield with a .45 as particularly realistic. In one movie (perhaps a
- different one), he makes a batch of special rifle handloads. I believe he
- is shown pouring mercury into the bullet noses. Wasn't this idea discredited
- here on the 'net some time ago? In spite of these perceived problems I
- do appreciate that he typically carries a *very* nice piece :-)
-
- Oh, it might be better if he could, umm, well, *act*.
