Under Siege
1992 · Director: Andrew Davis · US
What it is about
A ship's cook and former special forces operator single-handedly takes on the hijackers of a battleship.
The fighting in it
Steven Seagal's most-watched film and the cleanest showcase of his aikido repertoire: wrist locks, throws that take over the opponent's own movement, and knife disarms. The speed is cinema; the mechanics of the techniques match aikido.
