Belly of the Beast is a 2003 action movie directed by Ching Siu-tung, starring Steven Seagal and Byron Mann. It is one of the many direct-to-DVD action films Seagal has made in the early 2000s, although this one have significantly higher production qualities and better action scenes, mostly owning to having a veteran Hong Kong action choreographer as its director.Steven Seagal plays Jake Hopper, a retired CIA agent-turned-businessman and single parent to his daughter Jessica Hopper. A decade earlier, an assignment in Thailand goes wrong when Jake's partner, Sunti (Byron Mann) unintentionally shoots and kills an innocent woman, where he then subsequently resigns from the agency to become a Buddhist Monk. But when Jessica is kidnapped by a group of Islamic fundamentalists during a vacation, Jake have to seek Sunti's help and rescue Jessica. | |

Leap and Fire: Jake does this multiple times in the film, especially during the trainyard shootout where he dives out from behind a set of wooden walls, firing away as he does, killing several mooks before landing on the ground. | |

Deus ex Machina: After Jake's killed everyone who could possibly lead him to his kidnapped daughter, an unnamed woman steps in front of his car and makes eyes at him, getting him to follow her. Once they're alone, she strips to the waist and washes her chest to reveal a hidden message tattooed on her chest about where his daughter is. The woman is never mentioned before or since and has nothing to do with the plot except to tell Jake where his daughter is. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: During the plank warehouse fight, Jake and Sunti are ambushed by four machete-wielding, highly acrobatic Elite Mook enemies. Jake kills two of them, Sunti kills the third, and the fourth one seems to have vanished for no reason whatsoever. | |

Bottomless Magazines: During the train station shootout, Jake's pistol clearly runs out of ammo (after already firing far more shots than it could realistically hold) but he just fiddles with the slide then fires it another thirty or so times. | |

Hollywood Voodoo | |
| Belly of the Beast / int_d8085f48 | comment |
Hollywood Voodoo: Jantapan, besides being a corrupt military leader, is also a practitioner of voodoo, having an amulet that curses his enemy, and a shaman assistant which helps him cheat in the final battle by briefly taking over Jake’s body. Luckily, Jake have the support of the Buddhist monks Sunti is in league with, and the Buddhist magic is powerful enough to repel the voodoo powers, killing the shaman and helping Jake regain advantage in battle. | |
