10 Awesome Train Wreck Scenes In Films That Are TOTAL Train Wrecks

6. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory - Train Chicken

I bet you didn't know there was a sequel to Steven Seagal's submarine action thriller, Under Siege, did you? Well, now that you do, please don't bother watching it. Tell you what I do love about Seagal movies though. On the surface, he plays an unassuming every day kind of guy just working his 9-5. But when poop hits the fan, it turns out he was once an ex-Navy, ex-Karate King, all kicking all punching, badass, making the criminals wish they'd found a different plane or submarine or train to hijack.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory takes place on a train going through Denver where ex-Navy Seal Casey Ryback is taking his niece (Katherine Heigl) on a relaxing scenic holiday. But uh oh, a gang of hijackers take control and Ryback has to come out of retirement mode to save the day.

As you can expect from a Seagal film, it's very much action first, all the other unimportant stuff later. Unfortunately for viewers everywhere, plot, sense and above all else, plausible dialogue seems to be the unimportant stuff and, much like the staggering amounts of train debris after an impressive head to head collision scene, it falls by the way side.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
