Several posters have commented that Mr. Seagal's movies are realistic.  I
assume what is meant is "technically accurate"?  After all, I'd hardly consider
a civilian involved in a car chase down a city street firing through his
windshield with a .45 as particularly realistic.  In one movie (perhaps a
different one), he makes a batch of special rifle handloads.  I believe he
is shown pouring mercury into the bullet noses.  Wasn't this idea discredited
here on the 'net some time ago?  In spite of these perceived problems I
do appreciate that he typically carries a *very* nice piece :-)

Oh, it might be better if he could, umm, well, *act*.
