9 Times Actors Got Into Fistfights On Set

7. Executive Decision - Steven Seagal Versus John Leguizamo

John Leguizamo didn€™t get along with a few people on Executive Decision, with the first being good old Steven Seagal himself. On the first day they worked together Seagal €“ who was playing the leader of a military unit €“ walked up to his co-stars proclaiming that he was the leader, and they must obey everything he said. Leguizamo burst out laughing at this, so Seagal slammed him with his elbow against the wall, knocking the breath out of him. He didn€™t get on any better with Kurt Russell, who hated Leguizamo improvising throughout their scenes and told him to stick to the script; they eventually got into a shoving match over it before some punches were thrown. If nothing else, this made for good tension between them onscreen. Leguizamo got into trouble again later on with Patrick Swayze on a film Too Wong Foo - in which they both played drag queens - but before they could come to blows Swayze got tired of taking off his high heels and fake fingernails so he just gave up.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
