- In part 5 of my interview with Scott Adkins, we discuss the difference between action and martial arts movies of the 80s and 90s compared to today.
Also, Why hasn't Hollywood given Scott Adkins his big shot. For Batman, for Kraven the Hunter, for the reboot of Roadhouse etc.
Who are Scott Adkins' favorite MMA fighters and would he ever fight in real life? Would Scott Adkins every do an MMA or Celebrity Boxing match?

This is a really great interview. I got the sense that Scott really respected your depth of knowledge and opinions.
He better take his time and wait for the best roles to reveal themselves cos i personally want him to have an EXTREMELY iconic role …..ideally scot as the starring actor 🤞🏿that would make me lose my ish.
I have thought he would make a perfect batman but he is to manly for WokeWood
Adkins doesn't have the charisma to pull off being a big time star. I like him though I think he's good
@@johnmatonne7834 that's a lie 🤥
Because he is not bulky and thick as Van Damme!
Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White have been criminally underutilized in Hollywood.
It's a hard knocked life in hollywood. You have kiss asses and have connection. Scott and jay white are way bettet actors than van damme or schwarzebegger. The question is. HOW HARD is Scott trying trying to break trough hollywood?
@@immunetowesternlies8697 good comparison, highly agree to wt u said.
Because they are no Van Damme!
@@misterlexx2721 they are better actors and better human beings than Van Damme
Fffffaaaaaaaccccttttts
I don't know if Scott ever reads comment sections on videos like this, but I hope that he does. I hope that through our comments, he can get a small feeling of how much fans like us love him, and how much we respect and appreciate the enormous physical sacrifices he makes to keep us all entertained.
He does. Proof of this is when Corridor Crew broke down a bad fight scene he did and also invited him to the show. He replied back saying he would be down to and loved that they took the piss out of him. The man is a true class act.
Scott is awesome i hope he does read the comments.👍
Absolutely right 👌
I can always rely on his films to get that feeling from the old school action films. I feel sorry for not getting that big Hollywood break but i don´t think big studios would greenlit films like Undisputed(Boyka), Ninja or Accident Man. Hollywood relies too damn much on Marvel and DC,which is a shame.
He absolutely does, check out his channel
I'm a long time fan of Scott Adkins.
As an actor and a filmmaker, he just seems so incredibly unselfish.
I'm rooting for him, and he really needs to be given some major studio opportunities! He has certainly earned it!
I always said to my friends that Scott would make a great Batman. He's got the looks, the fighting skills and even the acting skills to be an exceptional Batman.
ALWAYS MY VIEW. HE WOULD BE THE GREATEST BATMAN FROM A ORIGIN STORY. BACKED BY HIS MARTIAL ARTS BACKGROUND. HIS CHARACTER WILL BRING BATMAN MORE ALIVE TO PEOPLE (FANS).
He's actually the perfect fit for Deathstroke in Matt Reeves' "The Batman"
I mean Undisputed proves this case
the acting skills need work, but thats not something that cant be learned. He'd be a great Batman.
@Shadow Octopus990 seriously would be a great ninjak
Well he has the low budget actor image and he's a very blunt actor
Scott is a super underrated actor. I’ve always thought that.
Scott definitely deserves more recognition than what he's gotten so far. I think he would be a great Batman, Punisher or anything action related! 👍
I've literally been screaming this to my friends for years. Scott is one of if not my favorite action hero and the fact that Hollywood is seemingly turning a blind eye to him is just mind boggling
Avengement is a underrated classic with the best bar fight ever
@@kchikwete yeah? Im bout to watch it
@@kchikwete saw that on netflix was a brutal film
Yo fr me too man, I really look up to him too
Well, the best action actors in the 80s forged their careers on the indie movie industry, on the under side of hollywood. Thanks to cannon films, orion pictures, golden harvest and others we got the best of stallone, van damme, arnold, jackie, and a lot more. Stallone produced, directed and starring his prime opera: rocky. And put his blood and money on all his movies from that era. It wasn't a easy path, we know all the injuries, trials, and troubles of all action stars. Van damme was banned for negotiated a little more, but he was the bigger star in the world (not in usa) on middle 90s.
I really dig Scott Adkins' movies. He definitely deserves an opportunity in the genre.
Boyka was a fantastic role for scott,hope thy make another
Would be cool to see him in more blockbuster movies.
Scott Adkins is without a doubt a Legend. In the world of martial arts and acting! He’s just overall a humble and great man! Scott if you are reading this you’re my hero! And Viking Samurai thank you for interviewing this man!
Yeah definitely. Also I had no idea he was in Day Shift. I completely wrote that movie off initially, but now that I found out he's in it, I'm definitely going to give that film a watch.
@@billywashere6965 good job with his accent though.
Nothing can touch 80’s and 90’s action movies…Scott and Michael Jai still keeping it alive
The Raid can.
I would easily pay to see them in a new movie together!!! As the main stars!
He had Daredevil or even Iron Fist written all over him. He's a legit martial artist with very little need for a stunt double for all but the most dangerous of set pieces.
Blame the Dickheads at Marvel!
Iron Fist was tailor made for him
Yes
I am loyal Scott Adkins fan and I have seen all his movies. The martials arts within those films are great and the fight choregraphs off the scale. I just love the man.
I love how level headed and honest Scott is. Saying he's a martial artist and not a fighter, how sparring is a young man's game, and how he wouldn't go near a grappler. Respect.
Real recognise real
Na!!!! Because he doesn't want to humiliate and jeopardise grapplers especially BJJ for real...
@Joshua Smith fair point comment deleted
@Joshua Smith I had learnt one of the Chinese grappling art called Qinna Quan. It taught me to be honest not humble because my sifu told me that the words 'humble' in the future will be just only a language.
Honestly speaking I had made 7 Brazilian Jujitsu from white to blue to black belt screamed when they tried to choke me in different ways from different angles stand & ground whether mat or solid neutral ground.
And my friend who practising another art called Silat(Indonesian) also able to make those Brazilian Jujitsu (5 guys) screamed as well.
So Joshua, you can reply say whatever you want & I don't need to argue with you. Because the bottom line is I did what I did & I don't have to prove anything of what I had succeed.
I'm not surprised Scott said this but its not because he wants to favour BJJ, he doesn't wanna waste his time with keyboard warriors or else he might end up his career as an actor. So I hope there'll be no BJJ try to challenge Scott. Its bad medicine.
@@quentinj6357 Silant isn't a grappling art. It isn't even an empty handed art. Its a bladed style. Wtf? You can't even bullshit convincingly, Little Joke.
He's such a sincere and straight forward guy with charm. Love this guy
Scott is elite level skill with a humble persona . He deserves much success. He’s a fan of those who came before which I respect
The funny thing is that Scott HAS been in a ton of big Hollywood movies over the years. The Medallion, Unleashed, Bourne Ultimatum, X-Men origins (he was Deadpool), Expendables 2, Criminal, Dr Strange, American Assassin, JW:4, etc. But he just hasn't gotten that starring role that would push him over the top. He was great in Day Shift. The brothers were hilarious and that fight in the house was so good.
I remember when he did that one mid-air kick 🤸♂️ in Dr strange, i was like "👈🏽👀 i know that kick!!" 🤣
Lol Ryan Reynolds played Deadpool not Scott Adkins. Idk where you people come up with this stuff
@@Rooski245 nah, Scott Adkins played him at the end doing all the stunt work. U can even tell its Scott by some of the moves he does. They did some kind of digital face swap, but its definitely Scott. Search "scott adkins deadpool" here and u can watch the behind the scenes stuff.
People were asking for a series with the brothers from day shift.
So he was in all thes movies and noone cared for him to do a greater role. Because he just doesn't have it.
Scott in Undisputed 3 was literally the single film that got me into weightlifting and Jiu jitsu when I was like 14. I remember having my mom drive me to a mall like 1:20 away so I could go to HMV and buy a bluray of that movie. Ive watched it a solid 20x
💪🏾👑
Scott is prob my favorite on screen martial artist ever!
I grew up watching Seagal, Van Damme, Norris, Chan etc. but Scott just seems to stand above all of them.
The guy is amazing at what he does and I think it’s high time he’s allowed to shine!
I would definitely pay to see Scott Adkins portraying Bruce Wayne/Batman. And I continue to wonder why Hollywood refuses to to see the marketability.
Personally, I would like to see Scott in a live action Archer movie, cause I think that 1( the action would be great. 2) it would be funny as hell. 3) we’d get to see Scott in a James Bond roll but with obvious differences.
Lol he’s been on the industry for awhile, so they know what they are doing for the most part
They do see the marketability… so they go with bigger names. Sadly, as Scott says, the stunt teams can train a big name, marketable star to look like he can fight, so there’s no need to have a smaller name that is excellent at martial arts. There’s no draw.
Holy shit that would be awesome lol (live archer)
I'm sure someone already said this: If Scott Adkins was a eighties/nineties actor he would definitely be part of the big action stars of that period. And of course I'm very grateful that we have him yet!
The fact that he gives a prop to all these actors even though they are his competition, shows how great Scott is.
Viking Samurai, first, the fact that you interviewed Scott Adkins is a tremendous achievement! I'd say though that Scott has transceneded Hollywood so that while it would be nice for him to get that added mainstream exposure, his achievements in film transcend Hollywood, and I think that even if he were to not make any more films, he has built up enough of a legacy in his films to be even more popular in the future. Also, rather than calling him the "next Van Damme", he is his own category of martial art/action star. I put Adkins right up there with the best martial arts actors ever - Van Damme and Bruce Lee.
Wow! You think van damme and bruce lee on the same level as well as Adkins! Bruce lee and Jackie Chan are two great actors. Van Damme isnt as great as Bruce lee or Jackie chan. Scott Adkins has no high level skills of acting ...that's why he cant be considered something special in the world of martial arts genre and he's got no crazy fans. Also he's got no charisma Van Damm had. Van Damme is higher than Adkins. Today all martial arts actors show us nothing because people watch multiple videos of martial arts on the Internet and martial arts are not impressive now.
@@Nigga4579 True, Scott Adkins' weakness is his acting, but the reason martial arts movies doing so
poorly in the west - is because they no longer have an action hero persona in them. They are just stunt reels.
When action heroes will be back in the movies, then the movies will change in the right direction as well.
Scott had charisma when he first portrayed Boyka. He could almost be Ivan Drago's little delinquent brother.
Unfortunately, that happened only once, and in this case - once is not enough.
I paid for “accident man 2.” Loved it.
Adkins would be the perfect lead for a Highlander movie. *Fingers crossed
Damn. That's a great idea!!!!
Conner Macleod was casted already
Henry Cavill (not excited
Scott Adkins is an underrated artist, a good actor and a good martial artist.
Accident Man is one of my favourite action movies. Sometimes pointless overspending just kills movies. At times, you want movies that look like those we saw when we grew up
Bro, leaving UNDISPUTED movie you go to root for ACCIDENT MAN movie?
I first heard about Scott Adkins in the movie Undisputed 2, and I was totally impressed with him. He definitely deserves to be a leading man in a Hollywood movie. I would like to see him, Michael Jai White and Keanu Reeves in a martial arts movie. They're good actors and great martial artists. I'd especially like to see Scott play Batman or another martial arts based superhero.
Same. That oner where he Boyka spars like three guys really made me scream with excitement.
X3
Huge Scott Adkins fan. Why isn’t he playing Jason Blood / Etrigan or Captain Britain is beyond me. friggin guy has it all. Great interview
That would be awesome! Etrigon would give him both the action but also the dialogue!
I'd prefer Scott Adkins playing Gambit - My all-time favorite X-Men badass. If Disney gets it's act straight, sign him up for the X-Men reboot.
Wouldve preferred Taskmaster.
Or, and im putting this out there, Super skrull lol
Etrigin not bad
What a Legend ! Scott Adkins will come full circle in Hollywood at some point . His talent is impossible to ignore
Dear Scott Adkins. Thank you for your films presence and the characters that you have played.
Scott would have been the ultimate Batman!
Been saying this for years. Someone doesn't want him to move into Hollywood. Maybe a good thing, seeing how nasty the community is,, he may have to give up something to get that role. Stay away from mansion parties would be my advice to him.
Or deathstroke.
The fact that Scott Adkins hasn’t been cast as Kraven the Hunter yet is insane
Old Peter Parker..
Scott will nail Kraven perfectly
However it's all about connections
I really respect and appreciate Scott and his dedication to this genre, he’s the real deal, he loves it, I remember back when blockbuster was still a thing I practically lived in there and I rented undisputed ll out of curiosity and by this point lost interest in martial arts and martial arts films but I saw this guy playing a Russian come flip over the ropes all jacked and doing this mind blowing techniques and he 100% brought me back around and I started training again and trying to do things I never even thought of in the past , he’s incredible and deserves huge respect
Undisputed 2 was when scott let people know he could play a wicked anti hero and was a great actor
Me too Bro, BOYKA, BOYKA, BOYKA!!!🤗
the absolute candid realness of Scott is why i have so much respect for him.... we are in an age of "non real or committed action" just visually access movies ... were the skills of the those involved are no longer valued ...
This was a very good interview. You had Scott's attention and you asked good questions without interrupting the natrual flow of conversation. Great job
Scott is an unappreciated badass, he would make an awesome superhero as he isn’t far off being superhuman himself!
I never get bored watching one of Scott’s films and wish he’d get a bit more love from the industry!
One thing that I hope Scott understands, he has more fans than even Hollywood knows. I think his JW4 part will prove his worth.
Scott Adkins is my favorite action movie star. I see he's in a movie I watch it. The ninja I and II introduces me to him and had me hooked, I watched everything else after that and then Avengment a few years later, blew me away. I think in positivity and have a good feeling he will have his shot. He has a great career already and one good movie away from mainstream.
What an admirable and down to earth human being. Scott speaks so well and has such a great heart. It only strengthens my faith and belief in him and the work he does. I am so appreciative of the work he’s doing and will continue to do in the face of adversity. I wish him nothing but the very best and looking forward to seeing him continue to move up levels 💪🏼
Scott is killing it! Avengement was incredible and I’m looking forward to watching Accident Man 2, and of course there are Boyka movies. I don’t think we would see any of that if it was a Hollywood movie. Scott is doing it his way and we definitely love it, support it and inspired by it.
Avengement was a monster of a movie I watched it to many times.
avengement my favorite Adkins movie
Undisputed 2&3 was 👍 👌 great!!
Avengement is awesome. Watched it several times
Everytime I see Scott Adkins pop up in a movie as a supporting character I jump in excitement, the man is mad talented. Last time that happened was while watching Day Shift.
Adkins is a complete beast and deserves his props cause he is at the top of his game.
This guy is a amazing martial artist. & Good actor.. it's the same way for rock musicians. It's hard to sell albums when people get songs free on the web. Keep up the good work Scott Adkins. Your films are great!!
Scott Atkins is truly amazing and it seems like he is a very humble man, which is very admirable in anyone that is on top of his game.
I have been watching some of his movies lately. They have a plethora of his films on Tubi and Roku as well. I actually saw both Ninja movies which he stars in and they were entertaining to watch. And yes. Tonight I'm ordering take out and sitting down w/my oldest son (the one in the profile pic who is now 8 years old) and have a blast w/Accident Man 2. And for what Prime is charging to rent the film ($5.99), its totally worth it. I already ordered it on my laptop while working at home. Once I clock out in half an hour, I'm heading to the living room and enjoy this popcorn flick, by leaving my brain on my desk. Thank you for another great episode, David. You're the man!
Scott Atkins is deep in the thick of the action junkie genre, Scott your A level action hero
He is a talented Actor and martial artist! I am a true fan and have beenwatching all of his films and have been following Scott Adkins for yrs!
Scott Adkins definitely deserves a big budget film. He an amazing martial artist
Scott would be perfect as Batman🖤🦇
Definitely going to pay more attention to Scott Adkins. I love when a person is humble.
Scott Adkins is a Great actor and a Superb martial artist. He deserves WAY more credit and more leading roles in movies. The most underrated actor/martial artist of all time. Give him a damn starring role already!!!!
I think the issue Scott and other action stars have is that Hollywood had stepped away from practical combat action films. Hollywood doesn't focus on action films as much anymore because they are usually not family friendly R-rated and don't bring in the level of profits they want. Studios tend to focus the action away from the actors and more so on external elements such as explosives, CGI, and camera tricks. A lot of the actions scenes are now performed by actors that look good but can train just enough to make a fight look almost real. From the present Hollywood comic book action landscape, Scott would unfortunately keep being placed in these small, subpar and underutilized roles they have been giving him, such as in Wolverine and Doctor Strange, to make someone else look good or some henchmen role. If Marvel hadn't wasted the character in the Black Widow film, Scott would've been great as the Taskmaster. I would say Deathstroke but that role will likely go to someone that can barely lift their leg to kick a ball let alone carry a fight.
You are so right in that they wasted the Character of Taskmaster. Scott would have crushed it.
Jackie Chan always did family friendly films. We just need fighting actors that will beat the living shit out of each other on film.
Great interview. Mr. Adkins seemed to drop his guard substantially in this last part. You did an amazing job with this interview. Keep it up, was here at 30K subs and now you're at 75K and growing at a super rate.
I love this man! Great human being and a great actor!
A lot of Hollywood success seems like luck and networking. Scott needs a “The Raid” or “Extraction” and he’ll get the recognition he deserves. Personally, I’m grateful for the stuff he has made / is making. Maybe us fans need to put or money where our mouth is and crowdfund a film.
We should finance Hard Target 3: Redemption. Scott can grow a mullet, we’ll requisition some rattlesnakes. Bring this tragedy full circle. Hell yeah!
@@burtbakerack1110 🤣🤣🤣
100% agree with crowdfunding. I'm in!
@@burtbakerack1110 lol
What Scott Needs to do is move to Hollywood and start rubbing elbows. Grab that SAG card and just go ham. That would fix his issues in short order as he already has a back catalog of great films, shorts and cameos. As well as his body of stunt work.
Coming from a drama-school background myself and as a fellow Birmingham person who loves movies and someone who respects Scott's acting skills, I think he would be an awesome choice to play the role of James Bond. I think the last great Bond was Timothy Dalton and he was an awesome action hero in both the Bond movies he made, as he showed emotion and drama, which is something I feel Scott Adkins does really well. Scott Adkins as Bond going up against a villain that is super tough, not just some old bald weak guy behind a desk, who is an easy kill, but someone who is tougher than Bond, and having an uber-tough actor like Adkins fight such a villain would be awesome in an epic long martial arts fight. I look forward to seeing more movies by Scott Adkins, who is such a great actor with an understanding of what makes fights and action work on a dramatic level. Great content again Viking Samurai - your channel is addictive.
❤💯
Absolutely.
he would be a good James Bond!
Martial arts movie fans have spoken & we love Scott A. Look at the views of videos with him compared to other recent guests. Adkins is the man & im glad folks finally notice
I have been a huge fan of Scott Adkins for years now in his Action films such as Unleashed, The Shepherd, Assassination Games, Ninja 1-2, Accident Man. He has appeared in Hollywood movies like X-Men Origin:Wolverine (he was Deadpool), The Expendables, Criminal, Doctor Strange. Besides his martial arts. He is so humble, funny and nice guy. I also love this guy 💖🤗. He would make a perfect The Punisher, Batman, or Ghost Rider.
Scott Adkins should enter DC in Justice League Dark as Etrigan The Demon.
Ooh that's a really good call!
Scott is a great all-rounder. He needs his big break. This guy is a legend. I really enjoyed all his movies. Give him his chance Hollywood. Boyka has some of the best fight scenes ever made.
ima be 37 in dec and i view adkins are the #1 martial artist in cinema and the MAN when it comes to anything action related of my generation.
Scott is one of my favorite actuel actor and he deserves more
Batman would fit him well.. he could be a good Bruce Wayne too....
I could see him playing James Bond too
Great job with the interview brother! As a longtime subscriber, let me say that these Scott Adkins interviews are the crown jewels of this channel. I've enjoyed nearly all of your interviews, but having Scott on here is the biggest treat you've given us yet. I really hope you get the chance to host him again on future promotional runs for his movies.
He'd be crazy not to as we are the people that buy a copy for our libraries. This a comment section of mostly adults that are not only honorable but also consummate martial artists/supporters and action film enthusiasts and supporters.
@@RevDrCCoonansr I agree. I'd like to think that he'd be hard pressed to find a more loyal group than the one we have here.
@@MatrixCobretti ☯ Agreed.
@@RevDrCCoonansr would be cool if in the future viking meets scott and interviews him in person like he did Michael Jai White.
@@The_Chameleon that would be awesome.
That's why I currently have 3 streaming subscriptions namely Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, because I really want to distance myself from the toxic culture of torrenting and free streams. I really want to support the industry especially action movies. That's why I have a mad respect for the likes of Scott and Michael Jay White for keeping the industry alive. Real tough guys both mentally and physically.
I love Scott's movies. He's a highly skilled martial artists and it shows in all his films 👏
It would be great if Scott could make an action movie on a grand scale with the impact of something like Enter the Dragon. He would be the one that could pull it off.
I think Scott Atkins would be perfect for a walker Texas ranger movie. Maybe he can even play the son of Walker.
Scott Atkins is a gem of the Martial Art Action Theater, We got to find new methods of support.
Man, Scott is awesome and so humble. I'm glad you had him on!
Scott is so honest and humble, I love this guy and always have. I appreciate that he took the time for this interview as well. You have to appreciate his candid interaction and response. He is deserving of a big role and would absolutely slay it. I really enjoy how he never shoots anyone down and shows so much respect for people. Thank you Viking Samurai for this series.
I didn't really know Scott before your videos with him here but started watching his movies, (and paying for them) he's a badass!! His sheer physical talent is incredible, a great actor, hard worker and seems like an all round good guy. He definitely deserves a shot in a lead roll in a big budget film. Thanks for putting the spotlight on him, he will have definitely earned a few new fans because of it!
Scott Adkins’ interviews are awesome! If you didn’t know he was a fighter you wouldn’t guess! Seems like a nice genuine person
Love Scott Adkins. This guy rocks. He deserves waaaaaaaaay more love. The guy brings it in every role he's in.
This interview is epic!!
I met Scott at the MCM comic con when he was promoting the first Accident man. I actually asked him both question about a leading hero role and fighting MMA. I joked about him whooping CM Punk, and we had a little chat about him playing Iron Fist. He said he tried to advise Marvel on it. They sadly ignored him.
This interview has been great. I love how both of you are honest about everything. Especially you when you talk about how you don't like Hard Target 2 and other things.
"Why am I not getting the opportunities? I think I did too many low-budget movies" it breaks my heart seeing his sad expression when he said that.
total legend. he is one of the bestt action stars around..thanks to him my life changed for the better when I started taekwondo and thai boxing 12 months ago. he is a credit to the world.
Scott Adkins is the number 1 action star around now and it's not even close! Its a joke that he doesn't get the shot he deserves! Please make another Boyka!
Everytime I see a new Scott Adkins film on prime i always rented out . Great actor
Love your channel dude! Keep up the great content
Accident man 2 is amazing
great interview series , love scott and your interviews you do on the channel
Scott is mega underrated.. undisputed films are amazing, his tattoos even inspired one I have.
Scott is such a likeable guy, getting to ask him those questions and get honest answers was awesome, enjoyed this a lot!
First off in the carribean where im from we absolutely love scott adkins and love ALL his movies to us scott is the ultimate definition of just next level bad ass (hell even i feel like a freaking killing machine and pumped when i see scott beating the shit out of bad guys😂)...and a general at his profession we sir salute and will always support what you do that is keeping us at the edge of our seats.. 😎💪🤘✊👊💥
You are really nailing it with your interview with Scott (and the others too) ! Scott should definitely get a break with a few great movies. He has got it all: good looks, great talent in terms of martial arts and acrobatics, big screen presence, super hard working.... In his TH-cam video talks and interview he comes across as a very likable guy, and he really listens to the people he have talks with.
Scott is such an awesome action star! I still can't believe he hasn't become a superstar. Life is so unfair
I have been searching for his movies and watching every movie. He is one of my favourite actors, he is so natural. And i like him.
Today I watched his movie "Legacy of Lies", yesterday "Castle Falls", the day before "One Shot" and ....
Scott is so underrated. It's genuinely baffling how Hollyweird still hasn't given him that one big role for him. They don't even realise how much potential they're missing out on
Scott always comes across well, with a real love and wealth of knowledge for the genre.
i have always seen him as a perfect batman, and thats before hearing others have the same opinion. hes such a big inspiration to me growing and still now
Lets all support Adkins, what a great interview.
I think that Scott Adkins has shown us the best fight scenes ever. I’d love to see more movies with him. His not just an incredible athlete, he’s also very charismatic and a great looking dude
Are you kidding? 😂 .."he has shown best scenes"...)))))..if he has shown best scenes of fight ever what bruce lee showed us? ) ...
@@Nigga4579 great ones for sure but outdated in comparison of what we see today. Probably due to the technology of filming, today the fight scenes are more spectacular. However I was a true fan of Bruce Lee as well
@@SuperBechti The technology of filming has nothing to do with that. If anything - it only made things worse,
especially in the west. The only one improvement the fight scene ideology made over the years - is eliminating
the constant "fight pausing" gimmick that was prevalent in all the older martial arts films.
The best fight scenes, however, belong to Hong Kong action movies of the late 80's to mid 90's. Always did, and
always will. Even today, the best action movies are made in the far east. And if i had to name a few, then young(!)
Donnie Yen undoubtedly takes the crown in that department. Especially his showdowns against Michael Woods,
which he was famous for in those days. There is a very rare martial arts film "The Death Games"/(Chong po si wang
you xi) 1997, that has scenes worthy of Donnie Yen's laurels. Legendary cast, when all are young and at their best.
Having that said, in the west, while there are numerous martial arts films that are considerably better than Scott's
work (such as Die Fighting), there is no denying that he helped raise the bar of fight action quality in the movies
and inspired many of them.
@@HexenStar hi there. I respect your opinion on that matter, but personally even though I do like very much Donnie Yen as much as Jet li, the Chinese kung-fu movies are not my cup of tea. Way to exaggerated to my opinion, the scenes are unrealistic, with too much accelerated moves, cheap noise effects and way too long and repetitive. Without mentioning the flying fighting scenes that are just ridiculous. When it come to Scott Adkins, I admire his fantastic shape from hard work out and is martial art level, because he is a real martial artist before being an actor.
Viking these scott adkins interviews are your best so far, even above frank dux which is my second favorite. frank is filled with controversary which I like but over half he stuff he says is hard to believe, with scott its just all knowledge and he seems like a really cool dude in real life, like the kind of guy you would want to hang out with. I probably wouldn't want to hang out with frank dux lol
Scott living in the states for almost 20 years and he still retained his Birmingham accent. I have hope for Scott, I don’t think he’ll end up like Gary Daniels, another fantastic British artist, but is destined to continue making B movies! Perhaps you could interview him.
Much respect brother. Keep pushing people to be their best
I would love to see Scott in a "Silent Rage" remake! Great interview mate, very cool to hear about his acting school background.
Fantastic interview, I would love for Scott Adkins to play Johnny Cage in the next Mortal Kombat movie. Him as Duncan or Conor Macleoud is perfect casting if they do a Highlander remake.
