The truth is that Clint Eastwood and John Wayne did not get along. The reasons for this are varied and complicated. Neither man was a fan of the other, and John Wayne certainly felt a certain way when he realized that Clint Eastwood was slowly replacing him as America's favorite cowboy.

Under Siege is widely considered his best, but I think that's largely down to the plot (it's effectively Die Hard on a battleship), a great supporting cast (including Tommy Lee Jones' turn as the villain), and Andrew Davis' direction (he was good at thrillers and made The Fugitive a couple of years later).
Released on October 9, 1992, Under Siege was both a critical and commercial success, receiving two Academy Award nominations for sound production and grossing over $156.6 million at the global box office. It is often considered Steven Seagal's best film to date.
