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.

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.

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.
@BumsnotDead
@BumsnotDead Год назад
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.
@HexenStar
@HexenStar 9 месяцев назад
@@BumsnotDead 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.

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.

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!

@@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.

Great video Viking, excellent questions. Scott Adkins is a really hardworking actor and martial artist. I hope he gets a role in a good big budget movie, that would open more doors for him. He deserves it🤞👍

Scott's knowledge and view on action is superior. I appreciate his love for 80s, 90s action films. I still watch action films from that era and find almost all of them 100% re-watch able. Yet these days we have 150 million films like 'The Gray Man's that despite its epic action was such a slow uninteresting film.

Mr. Adkins whenever I come across one of your movies I never pass up the opportunity to watch. I love them all even the not so good ones. 😂 I’ve worked in the industry for the last 15yrs and rarely follow anything that I have worked on but your movies always transport me back to my youth. Never give up never surrender you are beloved as an action hero and roll model!

Scott Adkins should be one of the top action stars in US. His small role in Day Shift saved this movie in my opinion.

I think Scott may have to reinvent himself and NOT do an action movie to go mainstream. Join a popular drama television show or movie with other notable stars even if he has to be a supporting actor. That will really put him on a lot of non-action movie fans and producers radar. Then when he gets the notoriety from that take those fans into a well written and well produced action project.

Oddly enough, the only way I would like Scott Adkins rising up as a leading man in Hollywood is if he can create the kind of action he's been creating without studio interfering with his vision and dedication. Otherwise, he can rock the indie scene and I hope what he's doing leads him to a point where he's lead the indie film industry to become a huge contender against Hollywood since Hollywood is waning in quality recently anyway.

Scott should definitely have gotten a big shot by now. He's one of the best action star/martial arts actors in the business. Hopefully he will get a gig with one of the many Marvel or DC characters that are coming out these days. I would love to see him in that genre. Even Star Wars. He would be a great Star Killer. He is just one of those guys you want to see on screen.

I am a huge Scott Adkins fan. He is incredible under rated. That being said one huge issue now a days is availability. As a result of all these copyrights, and Regions and Country restrictions, depending on where you live the only way to get the film is through a torrents website. I always try to see if I can find it on Amazon or similar website, but sometimes non Hollywood blockbuster films are hard to find through legit channels. I think the industry is broken, it is still operating on an old model. That being said I rented Action Man 2 and it was awesome (had to use a VPN to rent it, but it worked). P.S. I can't wait to see him in John Wick.

I recently wrote my own dream Batman film that would be my dream movie to make, and I hadn’t heard of Scott Adkins before I created it. I had finished writing the film and was looking for someone who would play my Batman, and the moment I came across him I instantly knew he would be the perfect choice. He looks almost exactly like a few depictions of Bruce Wayne, he is in great shape, and he has a good martial arts background that can back him up in the role. I genuinely think he is THE perfect guy for the role of Batman
