Some of the bigger differences between their original script and the movie are
#Marked for death movie trial#
Original script by Michael Grais and Mark Victor titled Screwface did had the same story and most of the characters but was still almost completely different than the final film, because of massive changes Steven Seagal made on the script and then still went and tried to claim how he came up with the story and wrote the entire script, but after his labor dispute and trial with the Writers Guild of America, they gave the writing credits to Grais and Victor. Lambert also stated that this event happened on Marked for Death instead of it previously believing to be on В ім'я справедливості (1991). The claim garnered a heated response from LeBell's trainee Ronda Rousey, who assured Seagal was the one lying and declared "If says anything bad about Gene to my face, I'd have to make him crap his pants a second time."Īn interview with YouTube user VikingSamurai and stuntman Steven Lambert, who worked on the film and witnessed the event, confirmed the story, but stated that Seagal did not defecate or urinate in his pants. Sometimes Steven has a tendency to cheese off the wrong people, and you can get hurt doing that." On the other hand, when Seagal was asked about the incident, he directly denied the allegations, calling LeBell a "pathological scumbag liar," and offered the name of a witness who could prove Lebell had fabricated this rumor. He was quoted as "When we had a little altercation or difference of opinion, there were thirty stuntmen and cameramen that were watching.

LeBell was requested to confirm the story publicly in an interview with Ariel Helwani in 2012, but he avoided answering the question, albeit implying that the incident was true. LeBell is said to have placed his arms around Seagal's neck, and once Seagal said "go", proceeded to choke him unconscious. It has been alleged that at some point Gene LeBell (who was a stunt coordinator for the movie) heard about the claim, and gave Seagal the opportunity to prove it. Whilst on the production set, Steven Seagal claimed that due to his Aikido training, he was 'immune' to being choked unconscious.
