neutral · AI labelView post →The guy who directed this directed three movies total in his career: Executive Decision US Marshals Star Trek Nemesis And it’s pretty wild to think that Executive Decision is his best movie by a country mile
positive · AI labelView post →The movie Executive Decision was made when Steven Segal was "popular," so at the time it was a bold creative choice to subvert audience expectations by setting up a "badass" and killing him. Now, it it's a brilliant move because the movie kills Steven Segal, who sucks, and makes room for BD Wong.
positive · AI labelView post →when i was a sophomore in college one of my roommates was the movie critic for the student paper. one evening we were discussing our favorite movies of all time - The Godfather, Chinatown, etc. - and one of our other roommates said "Yeah, and Executive Decision"

Fire up those dusty VHS players and prepare yourself for next week’s bonus episode covering “Executive Decision” as Greatest Trek Film Fest comes barreling back into the bonus feed on 6/17. #greatesttrek #filmfest #friendsofdesoto
neutral · AI labelView post →EXECUTIVE DECISION (if you can call it a Seagal movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →in the movie Executive Decision (1996), a fictional F-117 variant is able to carry a team of 4+ people inside the payload area somehow. I'm working on a theory that the Grand Am Daytona Prototype had a similar functional capacity, which explains why it was shaped *like that*
neutral · AI labelView post →Executive Decision was my favorite SS movie. He gets killed super early in the film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7T7...
positive · AI labelView post →Executive Decision. Also the best Steven Seagal film.
positive · AI labelView post →watching Executive Decision as background while mortaring model stone walls and had forgotten that human thumb Seagal was in it. Never has a man looked more like he really needed a poo the whole way through a film.
negative · AI labelView post →The movie “Executive Decision” was based on his courageous actions.
neutral · AI labelView post →Character actor extraordinare. Staple of tv (MURDER SHE WROTE, NIGHT COURT, MAGNUM PI, STAR TREK) and film (EXECUTIVE DECISION, COTTON COMES TO HARLEM) @dandock.bsky.social would know him better as crimelord Stromwell in BATMAN: TAS
neutral · AI labelView post →If you've not seen it, I highly recommend Stephen Tobolowsky's (best known as Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day) story on working with Seagal: youtu.be/5cUNU8GkMso?... I'd also add that Executive Decision is his only decent post-Under Siege movie with a most un-Seagal like element to his role.
positive · AI labelView post →My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday Nothing really too noteworthy this week. Executive Decision was a solid action movie…pretty intense throughout. I still haven’t recovered my fully recovered from seeing Dan Akyroyd with bleached blonde hair in Neighbors. #Filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →First, the Royals avoided getting swept, which I greatly appreciated. But the biggest news of today is that I just sat through an entire movie and that movie was called Executive Decision and it was the most intense thing I think I've ever seen in my entire life, I may never sleep
positive · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: 'Executive Decision' is one of four movies featuring Kurt Russell and J.T. Walsh. They also appeared in 'Tequila Sunrise' (1988), 'Backdraft' (1991), and 'Breakdown' (1997). This is the only movie in which they don't share any scenes together. (IMDB) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →my favorite Seagal film is EXECUTIVE DECISION, because jeez you don't really see twists like that anymore!
positive · AI labelView post →Executive Decision is an A+ 90s action movie imo
positive · AI labelView post →Can you please watch Executive Decision (Seagal’s greatest movie) and report back?
neutral · AI labelView post →seeing this prompt earlier made me want to find and rewatch Executive Decision, the first R-rated movie my parents ever let me watch, and I was Not Ready for these opening credits
neutral · AI labelView post →It should just be a thing that James Bond always dies in the last film with a given actor. Maybe not even in the climax. I want a Bond film where Bond is killed in the first act a la Steven Seagal in Executive Decision
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie. A long day at work calls for some Kurt Russel. Yep watching Executive Decision. #filmsky #kurtrussel #executivedecision
positive · AI labelView post →I am picturing Taylor Swift changing planes in midair, like Executive Decision or the bad guys in that one Batman movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm very grateful for the work, but January is over at last and I'm pooped. Time for some food, a tasty beer and a silly action film: Executive Decision, 1996.
neutral · AI labelView post →EXECUTIVE DECISION (1996) so deceptive it made you think Seagal was actually in the movie
positive · AI labelView post →I think #GlenOrGlenda is a Bela Lugosi movie the way Executive Decision is a Steven Segal film #TCMParty
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Richard Norton, who played the bad guy in this ripoff of DIE HARD/EXECUTIVE DECISION/THE ROCK that the company I was working for at the time made. Cast also included Paul Winfield, Amanda Wyss from ELM STREET and Bryan Cranston in the Atherton/DIE HARD role. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tMq...
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey now, "Executive Decision" is a very fun movie to watch! Coincidentally Steven Seagal's character dies about 1/4 of the way through. 😅
positive · AI labelView post →Executive Decision is a fantastic 90s movie and also has an insane supporting cast. David Suchet, JT Walsh, John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt, BD Wong, Joe Morton, Andreas Katsulas, Richard Riehle, Mary Ellen Trainor, it's an amazing gathering of "hey it's that guy/gal!" and it works so well.
positive · AI labelView post →I was reminded that the film Executive Decision exists today and watched out of nostalgia because I saw it in theaters as a teen and a friend at the time stormed out 15 minutes in when Steven Segal died unexpectedly. Good times.
positive · AI labelView post →I had seen most of the Friday the 13th movies and other horror and action movies before I was 15 lol My family and I saw Executive Decision *in the theater* when I was 6 years old That movie absolutely rips btw
positive · AI labelView post →skill at tension, a standout chase sequence in a nursing home (!) spins its plates confidently. (Baird, normally an editor, also directed the enjoyable “Executive Decision.”) This is hardly a perfect movie, but it’s diverting as a story, and TLJ and his team elevate it into brisk, genuine fun. (3/3)
neutral · AI labelView post →I would agree it’s his best film, with Executive Decision coming in a close second. I think he’s got one or others that are decent. Above The Law is well made and Hard To Kill is at least enjoyable trash. It’s pretty much diminishing returns after that. On Deadly Ground is almost so bad it’s good. 😀
neutral · AI labelView post →I say The Thing, but it's my favourite film so I would say that. Executive Decision, though. Tux and little specs is a good look for him.
neutral · AI labelView post →A fiend of mine was so excited to see the movie Executive Decision because of Steven Seagal and then he died in the first 20 minutes of the film. She was so mad.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is why I recommend Executive Decision. It's a trash movie, but Steven Segal's character gets ejected into midair and dies bc there was a technical failure while attempting to board a 747 via docking sleeve in midflight
neutral · AI labelView post →i watched his early stuff and was "ok- it's an action movie" Under Siege excelled because it was propelled by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and it had a good director yes i know that Executive Decision is a Kurt movie i do like when Seagal flies off the airplane hatch
neutral · AI labelView post →Yet, ironically, the finest demonstration of this principle on film comes in the movie Executive Decision (co-starring Marla Maples Trump) in which Steven Seagal plays the most badass special forces operator to ever badass, and embarrassingly dies seconds into the deployment accomplishing nothing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Executive Decision & Black Rain get mentioned so often by me that they’ve both become punchlines by this point, lol, but yeah, any movie where Joe Morton & Oliver Platt save the day to rocks.
neutral · AI labelView post →it's time for the Academy to recognize that he deserves all the awards for having had to put up with Steven Seagal on the set of EXECUTIVE DECISION (1996) and being choked out as part of the reason for Seagal getting jettisoned from the movie (and then jettisoned IN the movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →This scene always makes me wanna watch Executive Decision. Not just because that movie rules but it's a wonderful thing when a movie nails an opening. #Fthismoviefest #Armageddon

neutral · AI labelView post →His only good film (possible exception: Executive Decision)?
neutral · AI labelView post →Executive Decision, though also a movie about an F-117 and fights aboard a hijacked cargo aircraft (funny that this is multiple films)
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t know what it says about me that “It’s an Executive Decision now” was the first quote that leapt into my brain. The movie isn’t even really ABOUT that!
neutral · AI labelView post →i did appreciate Ebert’s review of Executive Decision: “Any movie prepared to kill off Steven Seagal in the first 20 minutes is prepared for anything, and so I perked right up.”

neutral · AI labelView post →good flick. Executive Decision might be your next one? It's almost the same film, but with Oliver Platt being very Oliver Plattish.
neutral · AI labelView post →I like Marked for Death and Out for Justice a lot but I wouldn’t call them “good” per se. Under Siege is the best combination of actual quality and fun. Executive Decision is really a Kurt Russell movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Don't forget his finest performance in Executive Decision. He was pretty heavily promoted in the ads for the movie, and when he died pretty early in the movie, I remember the theater cheering.

neutral · AI labelView post →I remember when we went to see Executive Decision and were all SHOCKED when they killed him like fifteen minutes in, because we thought it was a Seagal flick. (Still a good movie, though.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Spoiler Alert for a movie from 1996: This reminds me of the movie “Executive Decision” where everyone in the theater thought they were seeing a Steven Seagal action flick because it was 1996 and he was a huge fucking action star and Seagal ends up dying in the first act!
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey Bluesky I am going to watch a movie It has Seagal in it Now watching Executive Decision
neutral · AI labelView post →(EXECUTIVE DECISION is a good movie if you like Kurt Russell and a great movie if you hate Seagal.)
positive · AI labelView post →Currently watching the best Steven Seagal movie - Executive Decision - where he dies in the first 15 minutes.
