    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Steven Seagal doesn't have his signature ponytail in the film. The Navy doesn't allow hair to be longer than four inches.
    • Goofs
      When the private informs Ryback there is a fire, Ryback tells him to "take my pies out of the oven." The private is then shown lifting pies out of the oven, but the burners are those of a propane stove. The U.S. Navy does not use propane/natural gas ovens, to carry that gas on a ship in war would be deadly. All cooking in the galley is done on electric appliances.
    • Quotes

      Jordan Tate: So who are you? Are you-you, like, some special forces guy or something?

      Casey Ryback: Nah. I'm just a cook.

      Jordan Tate: A cook?

      Casey Ryback: [whispering] Just a lowly, lowly cook.

      Jordan Tate: Oh, my God, we're gonna die.

    • Crazy credits
      At the close of the credits: USS Missouri BB63 was decommissioned March 31, 1992 and is now moored at Bremerton Naval Yard, awaiting her next call to service.
    • Alternate versions
      The original theatrical, earlier home video and earlier TV airings (including the 1994 ABC airing) had the 1984 Warner Bros. logo at the beginning at the end, post-2003 prints had the 1999 CGI variant and fanfare at the beginning and the 2001 closing variant, both with the 2003 TimeWarner byline.

    Fine action film.
    Steven Seagal might not be Arnold Schwarzenneger or Bruce Willis, but Under Siege quickly became one of 1992's most successful films, earning Seagal a fine reputation as a good action star. Andrew Davis directed the film about a US Battleship that has been taken over by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and it's up to Steven Seagal, whom acts as a chef cook, but is really an Ex-Navy Seal to save the day with the help of the ever sexy Erika Eleniak playing Miss July 1989. Jones and Busey particularly are great as the two villians and the action scenes and karate moves from Seagal are quite well choregraphed with a fine score by Gary Chang. The supportive cast, topped off by Patrick Adams, Colm Mehoney, Nick Mancuso, Andy Romano, Troy Evans, Glenn Morshower, Dennis Lipscomb and Damian Chapa all turn in fine and impressive even humerous performances. Highly recommended for fans of the action genre.
