The History of Above the Law: How A Studio Built A Star Everyone Hates

Описание: What happens when a martial arts instructor from Michigan with zero acting experience is handed the keys to his own action movie… and a major Hollywood studio backs him like he’s the second coming of Eastwood?

Above the Law wasn’t just a star vehicle. It was a carefully engineered launch — built around Steven’s real-life background, his obsession with CIA conspiracies, and his brutal, bone-snapping fighting style that hadn’t been seen in mainstream cinema.

From a scrapped original script to on-set injuries, casting clashes, and a soundtrack that ditched the typical 80s heroism for something darker, this is the untold story behind one of the grittiest debut films of the era.

So how did it all happen? And how did it create one of the most controversial careers in action movie history?
Let’s break it down.
This is the story of Above the Law.
