I don't know quite how to express how specifically STUPID this ranks as an environmental consideration. I see- the only to protect the environment is to burn down and blow up a HUGE oil refinery. Riiiight. That'll help out the baby seals and such. Crikey, this looked like it was purposely bringing on about a dozen simultaneous Exxon Valdez incidents.
He's like the oh-so-reluctant Billy Jack- only Billy Jack was several rungs up the scale from this, intellectually. Anyway, Seagal plays out the Billy Jack schtick of being forced by Evil White Men into combat to defend the vulnerable women and children.
In short, this Steven Seagal action movie appears to be the retarded butt baby of Dances with Wolves and Billy Jack.
Then he caps this nonsense off with a big formal lecture on how Whitey is destroying the Earth by the conspiracy to repress post-oil energy technology, and by not talking a lot of fake spiritual Eskimo/Indian new age pinko nonsense like he should, and how we've got to have this compulsory New World Order to save the environment from the Evil White Men. It's like, on top of being Kevin Costner and Billy Jack, he wants to be Noam Chomsky as well.
Holy flippin' retard, Batman- this Seagal guy seems to think he's actually making some kind of intellectual/spiritual STATEMENT.
Come quickly: he must be put to the lash immediately before my valve closes down in protest!

I took a vacation to Yellowstone a while back and we went on a white water rapids ride (low grade rapids - none above 2 I think). We passed on old oil refinery and the tour guide told us that the producers of "On Deadly Groud" wanted to blow it up for their movie. The company and the Park refused stating that exploding an oil well even a defunct one was a serious environmental hazard. Kind of puts the speech at the end of the movie in a new context, doesn't it.
