Trivia:
At the time of its release, this movie was the highest grossing movie not to have been pre-screened for critics. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: At many points through the film, Casey's rank is referred to by different titles. He holds the rank of Chief Petty Officer. Early in the film, Ensign Taylor refers to him as "Petty Officer", something an officer would never do, even as a sign of disrespect. Commander Krill refers to him as "Mr. Ryback", a title usually reserved for junior officers. Many junior sailors refer to him by his first name, unlikely, although not absolutely so, considering he comes from the SEAL community. Most everyone should call him "Chief". more
Quotes:
Commander Krill: Where are you going?
William Strannix: Make Honolulu glow in the dark.
Commander Krill: Outstanding.

Fine action film., 6 December 2003
Author: (eddy-28) from Lake Isabella, CA

Steven Seagal might not be Arnold Schwarzenneger or Bruce Willis, but Under Siege quickly became one of 1992's most successful films, earning Seagal a fine reputation as a good action star. Andrew Davis directed the film about a US Battleship that has been taken over by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and it's up to Steven Seagal, whom acts as a chef cook, but is really an Ex-Navy Seal to save the day with the help of the ever sexy Erika Eleniak playing Miss July 1989. Jones and Busey particularly are great as the two villians and the action scenes and karate moves from Seagal are quite well choregraphed with a fine score by Gary Chang. The supportive cast, topped off by Patrick Adams, Colm Mehoney, Nick Mancuso, Andy Romano, Troy Evans, Glenn Morshower, Dennis Lipscomb and Damian Chapa all turn in fine and impressive even humerous performances. Highly recommended for fans of the action genre.
