Today, Amway is an action movie "Under Siege" that I have always liked 20 years ago. The 90s was the era of action heroes, Arnold, Stallone, Bruce Willis, Shangge Winton, Stephen Siegel, Chuck Norris, Harrison Ford and so on took turns to appear on the stage, all shining brightly, everyone can carry the main beam alone, creating the golden age of Hollywood action movies. This "Dragon and the Sky" is the representative work of Stephen Siegel, a real kung fu sportsman with a stunt. It seems that it is also quite interesting.
The reason why this film feels special is that apart from Segal’s kind of concealed masterpiece, the most important thing is its super props: it has a 406 mm caliber super naval gun that has no one before and after no one. The USS Iowa-class battleship Missouri, as the last guardian of the super battleship era, is about to retire honorably after participating in the Gulf War, and the story happened at this time.
Naval special operations officer Kathy Rabeck is a well-known counter-strike and special operations master. Due to his bad temper, his boss’s discord and his passion for cooking, he became a big boss on the ship under the arrangement of his old friend, the captain of the Missouri battleship. The chef, have a good time with the little brother of the back kitchen.
Because he is a famous thorn, the chief mate saw him very unpleasantly. On the day when the Missouri was about to hold a retirement party, the chief mate suddenly announced that the back kitchen was on holiday, the whole ship ate takeaway, and he spit in the chef’s soup. Just to provoke him, Chef Rebek was really fooled, knocked down the chief mate with a punch, and was imprisoned by the chief mate.
It turned out that the first officer was an insider who colluded with a group of terrorists who planned to hijack the Missouri and sell the nuclear warheads on it to earn a lot of money and go abroad for fun. Dozens of them pretended to be rock bands and meal delivery boys. They also hired an innocent dancer who was completely confused and stunned to take a transport helicopter to the ship.
The boss of the villain is a famous actor who looks like 70 years old from 30 to 60: Tommy Lee Jones...
They succeeded in their plan and successfully captured the Missouri, killed the captain and other high-ranking officers, and held the crew as hostages. They also used the Phalanx on the ship to destroy an F-18 Hornet that came to patrol. Fighter jets and threatened the authorities to use nuclear weapons to attack major American cities as long as they act. Then they began construction and dismantling of the nuclear warhead. Seeing everything went well, they were almost making a fortune, but they forgot that Chef Rebeck is still there!
It's time for me to shoot, hehe!
These kinds of films of that era were all similar plots. The terrorist’s perfect plan was completely destroyed by a hidden master who did not know where he came from. It's all this way. At this time, it was Chef Rebeck's turn to take action. He first killed a few cannon fodder to kill him, and found in the restaurant a super-spicy dancing girl sister who had slept with airsick pills. (Excuse me for not being able to put that animated picture up, let’s search for it yourself)
Next is the time for chef Rebeck to kill terrorists in various fancy ways. Not only did he break new ideas and reach heights, but also omnipotent, he also made his own bombs and blew up the helicopters used by the bad guys to escape. After the helicopter of the reinforcement SEAL Team 5 was destroyed by the submarine carrying the nuclear warhead with a Stinger missile, with the help of a few brothers rescued at hand, it used super domineering, one of the 406 mm naval guns with a height of one shell. Wang blasted off the submarine and avenged the seal brothers. In short, when he met him, the terrorists must have not read the almanac when they went out.
Fancy torture terrorists
Homemade soil bombs.
The enemy submarine used a poisonous stinger to kill the helicopters of a group of SEALs, and the SEALs were wiped out.
Attacking the submarine with the king of the 406 mm caliber naval gun is very burning.
Successfully blasted off the enemy's submarine
The always conceited badass boss showed a funny expression of "Why didn't I read the almanac when I went out today?"
The final ending is also very clichéd. The villain boss fights against Chef Rebec. The boss who is not weak is killed by Chef Lei’s dagger. This scene dedicated a dagger opening scene from a classic movie history, and Won Bin, the famous Korean action film "Uncle" in the previous two years, also paid tribute to this scene.
Chef Lei's unique way of holding a dagger
Empty teeth
Eye-catcher
The final headshot!

In the end, Chef Lei killed all the bad guys and left no one alive. He successfully rescued the crew and self-destructed the nuclear warhead that had flown to San Francisco in advance, helping the helpless senior military officers to resolve the shocking crisis and hug them. The beauty is home, perfect!
Take back control of the Missouri
Resolve the crisis and embrace the beauty!
Missouri retired honorably
The film combined with the fact that the Missouri was retired at that time, this shocking crisis made up, so that the film that was not outstanding at first has enough excitement, and it has left its own place in the history of action movies. Compared with other action stars who played masters or retired masters, Steven Siegel has a temperament that no one can match, because he himself is a real master. He is a martial arts coach and has a black belt in Aikido. Seventh dan, so there is always a master fan who is not surprised at all. This kind of pretending to be fake looks fake on others, but it fits him very well, mainly by temperament! The film also captures his temperament very well. Siegel, who is in his prime of life, needs to have good looks, good work, self-confidence, calmness, and no action. Action is a killer move. He is a fancy team. So far, the scene of killing terrorists looks so hot and exciting!
Everyone, hurry up and take a look!
