    Scott Adkins is one of the most underrated action talents in the business. This guy should be in the MCU. Id take him as Adam Warlock or Captain Britain or Doctor Doom even.

      Well, wouldn't agree about "taking one for the team" part because there's no sacrifice in it, nobody would lose anything if he didn't take the role - you either take the job or somebody else does.

    One of my favorite parts of this isn't even the fight explanations, it's just the personal side comments and respect for all the other stunt people and martial artists. Just the little, "That's Ken Lo! One of Jackie Chan's team, amazing kicker!" - especially because Scott himself is an S-tier kicker. Or the the one about Tony Jaa, "Tony didn't know that we wore wires in movies, so he just thought you were supposed to be able to jump like that, trained himself to do it". Plus of course just the admiration for all the martial arts stars like Jackie and Donnie and etc.

    I met him in a resort he had his holiday in about three years ago. He stayed with us only for a week but he was extremely kind, well-mannered with the staff and his family, but what struck most was his understanding when some of the staff wanted to take pictures with him (I have some as well :D ). I will never forget those days! Thank you Mr. Adkins :)

      Was a guilty pleasure when I was a kid. That movie seemed so Japan/anime inspired.. reminded me a bit of Ultraman with the overall shape and style of movements. The whole concept of being supercharged was pretty cool.

      Exactly my thought. I know he has played this hard-balled tough guy or straight out bad guy which makes him no very likeable, but he is so charismatic here. Love the video, it shows what a nice guy he really can be.
