Executive Decision

today i was watching this all unfold on the Tv. did anyone else watch this? i know there are people that must have been watching it. it was pretty interesting how they wanted to go about things and what it meant to me being the hero to the people to save the day. i thought i was going to be disappointed by who was in it and what they wanted to do, but i figured i should stick it out and watch the whole damn thing just to understand what was going on. if you already seen it then you know how they go on there and use their guns to rescue the hostages from a group of terrorist. I thought it was funny how seagal gets killed trying to be the hero.

Is it true that Steven Seagal held up production because he didn't want to film his death scene?

From the Trivia page: Originally, Travis was to die due to low cabin pressure causing his head to explode. Steven Seagal refused to shoot this scene for fear his fans would not like it. Director Stuart Baird insisted he must do it as scripted, though Seagal held up filming for a few days and argued that the scene was not realistic. Finally after threat of contractual breach, Seagal agreed to return to filming and a new death scene was scripted.

John Leguizamo stated that Seagal didn't want to film his death scene because he had never died in a film before, so he locked himself in a trailer and refused to come out. Also, Leguizamo stated that Seagal wanted to re-write the scene in which Travis would hold the stealth jet and the passenger jet together like Superman until the crew was safely aboard, therefore the character wouldn't die. Though John Leguizamo has made it pretty clear he isn't fond of Seagal, and he also comes from a comedic background so it's possible that his story is true, but was embellished for comedic purposes.
