Episode 84: Steel (1997)
from Be Kind, Please Rewind! · host Joe Gould
Time for some Shaq-Fu! Well, not actually.Today we re-visit Steel (1997), which sees Shaquille O'Neal portray a not-so-super supporting character from the Superman universe. Unfortunately, this movie completely ignores any Superman connection (other than Shaq's real life tattoo).Ultimately, this movie had an identity crisis, which perhaps shouldn't surprise us considering it was a DC property. A PG-13 movie with a script that could have been written for Nickelodeon, Steel was no Space Jam, opening to $870k its first weekend in theaters.
