 SPOILER: Steven Seagal (qv) originally refused to shoot his death  scene for fear his fans would not like it. Director  Stuart Baird (qv) insisted he must do it as scripted, though  Seagal held up filming for a few days and suggested that the manner  in which it happened wouldnt realistically cause him to die.  Finally after threat of contractual breach, Seagal acted the death  scene as scripted.
