Here's Seagal doing Girl It's Alright:

Jackie Chan

HONG Kong's greatest movie star started his career in the Peking Opera School, where he had to learn to sing, dance, act, perform acrobatics and do martial arts - all before turning 10. Chan never lost any of those talents, even the singing. He has released 10 studio albums since he first started singing the theme songs to his own movie with The Young Master in 1980. While never experiencing any success outside Asia, Chan has recorded more than 100 songs in five different languages and his music was an integral part of the Beijing Olympics thanks to him contributing the lead-up song We Are Ready and singing at the closing ceremony. His music ranges from the cheesily anthemic to soppy Cantopop ballads, although we do have a soft spot for September Storm from one of his better recent films, New Police Story. Still, we much prefer him breaking his bones in death-defying stunts.

Russell Crowe

IT'S hard to take Russell Crowe seriously at the best of times, especially since that South Park "Fightin' 'Round The World'' parody. It's even harder to take him seriously when he's singing his own earnest heart-felt lyrics with his country-rock-pop bands 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts or The Ordinary Fear Of God (keeping the same initials cut down on merchandising costs, which is pretty miserly for a movie star). Particularly laughable is his single The Photograph Kills, in which he whines about being famous and getting picked on all the time (although at least he's writing about what he knows). Despite three albums and Crowe's considerable profile, the band has never enjoyed any success, probably because, as Aussie punk band Frenzal Rhomb once sang ``Russell Crowe's band's a f******' pile of shit''. For someone with such a forceful personality, Crowe's voice is surprisingly bland and powerless. The best examples of his lameness can be found on Sail Those Same Oceans or his boring version of Nick Cave's excellent Breathless.

Here's Crowe and the TOFOG boys playing Sail Those Same Oceans:

Keanu Reeves

WHEN it comes to actors having credible music careers, Reeves took the smarter option. Rather than stand out in the spotlight playing cheesy covers, he donned a beanie, picked up a bass and joined a post-grunge band. That doesn't mean they're any good. Dogstar's back catalogue consists of one EP and two albums boasting a simplistic alternative rock sound that borders on sleep-inducing. It's not Reeves' fault though. The blame should rest with vocalist/lyricist Bret Domrose, whose insipid words and growl are on a par with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. Yet they managed to support David Bowie and opened for Bon Jovi on his 1997 Australia/New Zealand tour. They even scored a spot at massive British festival Glastonbury in 1999 - the year The Matrix came out. It was that film which really made Reeves a star and his band subsequently dissolved as he found less time for music, which translates to "I'm finally getting offered decent scripts''. Dogstar did do two good thing in their career: they gave Weezer and Rancid their first gigs.

A dedicated fan has used footage from Speed to make this film clip for the Dogstar song No Matter What:

Bruce Willis

THE four-time John McClane, like Seagal, is also a fan of the blues. Back when he had hair, Willis released The Return Of Bruno, a collection of R&B covers that surprisingly went top 20 in the US. One single, Respect Yourself, was a hit on American radio, while his version of Under The Boardwalk, featuring The Supremes, managed to reach number two in Britain. His voice in those days was a bit like a poor-man's Billy Joel but, in later years, as his hair has disappeared, he's re-emerged with a far more impressive growl to go with his new harder-hitting bar-room blues band (inventively called The Bruce Willis Blues Band). He even plays a mean harmonica. His early two albums were collected on a greatest hits compilation but he hasn't been near a studio since the '80s, instead preferring to pop up at blues festivals and belt out a few boogies.

Here's the clip for his hit cover of Respect Yourself:
