Pegadinha:

After the restaurant bathroom fight scene, Jack reveals his home state as Michigan, just like Steven Seagal in real life.

Goofs:

Continuidade: During the chase between the car and the helicopter as they flee the safe house, the helicopter wrecks the lid of the trunk and riddles the rear window with bullets. In the next scene all the bullet holes are gone and the rear window is whole again.

Citações:

Jack Foster: [Jack is holding a martial art class] So the idea of dim mak or any kind of internal technique, is not to hurt others, but to help others. Dim mak can be used to heal people, it can be used to kill people. This is the nature of chi. Chi can be used in striking for just external...... or internal. If you go to the internal organs, you'll do great damage. External, you can just move them a little bit.
[demonstrates on a student, hits him in the stomach and the student is pushed back a bit]
Jack Foster: Or you can go internal.

Kind of like seeing a sporting Icon, a few years after their prime! (Maradona)

The last time I saw Seagal, was in Exit Wounds. He'd really packed on the pounds since his glory days, but then I watched this film, during an action man rampage (Icidentally, Dolph Lundgren's The Russian Specialist was my clear winner) and boy was Seagal looking fat, old and horribly sweaty.

Shadow Man has no plot to speak of, it's just a bunch of guys who turn up to get beaten up by Steven Seagal. The film is poor. Seagal as well is half asleep, he's awful here. It was actually saddening to see once one of my idol's (I took up Aikido cause of him) looking so unwell. It's my estimation that he's probably done a few too many films past his prime, a bit like Brando, without the talent.

Shadow Man has in its favour some nifty, and violent action, but not nearly enough of it, to overcome the boredom elsewhere.
