Michael Caine has opened up about his experience of On Deadly Ground, labelling it one of his biggest regrets – but it would appear the ultimate action movie legend has a very different recollection of events.
Caine delivered his Steven Seagal body-slam during an interview with Rolling Stone where he was initially asked to reveal a role he regretted turning down. “I never made that kind of mistake. I only made the ones in the opposite direction — what I didn’t say no to.”
Asked to give a specific example, the interview mentioned On Deadly Ground, the film that sees Seagal’s mystical martial artist and environmental agent going head-to-head with Caine, who plays the head of a ruthless oil corporation.
