Trivia:
At one point, Screen Gems were considering this film for a theatrical release. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Seagal's Chrysler 300C in the movie has three sets of wheels. All of them appear to be OEM Chrysler, but are obviously three different sets. The first set have a chrome machined face and seven spokes. The second set have a cast appearance with six spokes. The third set are of a monobloc design, and in fact may actually be hubcaps. more

Armand Tucker: [holding a gun] Now tell me, that your bitch-ass ain't dumb enough to bring a fist to a gunfight.
Simon: [grabs the gun from his hand] I AM!

Seagal fans rejoice, the old-school hardcore Seagal has returned!!!!!, 16 October 2007
10/10
Author: jet_li_fan15 from Australia

To begin, I know that all loyal Seagal fans, including myself, began to lose faith in the big guy on account of the last few dtv movies he has churned out (namely Attack Force, Flight of Fury, Black Dawn, Shadow Man). The reason for this was the constant use of stunt and fight doubles, un-inspired fight sequences, the use of not-even-close-to-sounding-like-him voice dubbing and the lack of continuity.

That was then, and when all hope seemed to be lost, Urban Justice graces the video store. Let me say this now, every Steven Seagal fan needs to go and rent this for the sheer proof that he has returned to absolute top form and then some. The movie is loaded with martial arts sequences, and here's the best part, Seagal does 100% of his fights!! Voice dubbing is completely absent and he actually looks like he is enjoying himself in this one. Supporting Seagal is comedian Eddie Griffin, who is perfectly cast as the villain and provides some genuine laughs at times.

I know that the steep decline in quality in Seagal's movies has upset hardcore and loyal fans to the point of almost no return (I was almost there myself), but I need to stress that not since his Out For Justice days has there been the sheer brutality present in his movies. I can say with all honesty that Urban Justice is up to par in terms of the graphic violence and tough guy antics. Seagal dishes out punishment like I have never seen before, he is absolutely ruthless and savage during the fight scenes.

All I can say is give it a try because you certainly will not be disappointed, the old-school hardcore Seagal that we all love and have eagerly awaited for has finally returned!!
