Episode 25 of the Film Pigs Podcast features a game suggested to us by frequent site commenter God. The object is to create 3-word titles for fictitious Seagal-esque movie synopses. I added the bonus rule of extra points if the title was made up of single-syllable words.
Here are the 11 synopses I wrote for the game in their complete run-on sentence glory. Add your titles to the comments below to complete this BLOG FOR JUSTICE! (1 point)
- Steven Seagal is Jackson Steele, a retired CIA “wetworks” operative, who is brought out of retirement to hunt down the team he trained after they go rouge and steal a shipment of weapons-grade anthrax.
- Steven Seagal is Markus Blaze, a former Navy SEAL turned veterinarian in the Colorado mountains, he seeks only the quiet life when his best friend’s daughter, Seagal’s veterinarian assistant, is kidnapped by a meth-addled biker gang.
- Steven Seagal is Professor Nick Champion, a former FBI forensic scientist, who is brought out of retirement to investigate the assassination of the vice president, which leads to a conspiracy inside the government to kill the president as well.
- Steven Seagal is Brock Mountain, a former Marine sniper living the quiet life on an Indian reservation, he suddenly finds himself the target of a nationwide manhunt: he’s been framed for the assassination of a visiting foreign dignitary from a country suspected of harboring terrorists.
- Steven Seagal is Detective Lars Tanner, a maverick cop two weeks from retirement, who finds himself chasing his one unsolved case: a serial killer not active in years, but who now returns to taunt Det. Tanner with fresh victims.
- Steven Seagal is Chris Stark, a former Green Beret turned environmentalist, who finds himself in conflict with a huge pharmaceutical company and its army of mercenaries when he uncovers a plot to dump waste chemicals into a neighboring small town’s water supply.
- Steven Seagal is Bubba Drake, a disillusioned private military contractor turned blues musician, brought in for one last job in Eastern Europe to recover an escapee from a secret CIA prison who may or may not be a vampire.
- Steven Seagal is Carson Thorpe, a tough-as-nails cop who loves coaching his nephew’s soccer team, he sets his sights on revenge after a botched mob hit leaves his nephew clinging to life in intensive care while the criminals go free on a technicality.
- Steven Segal is Doctor Ron Striker, a former Air Force Pararescue Jumper suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, he’s forced to confront his demons when a group of domestic terrorists bring their war to the quiet dude ranch Striker has converted into a free health care clinic.
- Steven Segal is Diego Vartan, a Marine captain sentenced to life in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s given a chance for freedom by the man who put him there – as long as Vartan goes on one last mission: supporting a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government.
- Steven Seagal is Detective Sam “Two Fists” Thunder, a former mixed martial artist and government agent, he now spends his days cleaning up the mean streets of Los Angeles, until his investigation of a new highly-lethal and environmentally dangerous synthetic drug leads him to a CIA conspiracy and the very people he used to work for.
What’s the over/under on how long it takes for one of these synopses to actually be made into a movie?
Somebody should double-check me in case I unconsciously plagiarized existing Seagal DTV plots. If not, I expect these to be made post-haste.
These are incredible. You should be a professional name-and-plot-summary-comer-uper, Skelton.
If I could get paid to sit around all day and generate Steven Seagal plot summaries I would be so happy.
Hard Steal Justice
Blaze Of Fury/Vengeance
Marked For Liberty
Hide To Kill/Run To Justice
Flesh Wounds
Prescription For Justice
Blues Stake Law
Strike Past Death
Stress Relief
Fury Of Freedom
Mercenary Of Thunder
Just add “Justice” to the ones with only two words, retard that I am.
Blaze Of Fury and Fury Of Freedom are awesome. But my favorite, with the added “justice”, has to be:
Stress Relief Justice
Steven segal is awesome, my dad has all of his movies. Steven segal taught my dad and my dad taught me aikido.
The only ones I thought I could improve on from the Pigs’ were:
1) Tough as Steel
2/6) The Kill Pill
7) Drake City Blues (so close Todd)
Found myself blurting Uncover the Hurt as a title for a lot of the scenarios while listening to this great podcast!
7) Blood Hunt Blues….of Justice!
