    Honestly, one of the best interviews that Mr. Adkins has put on his channel. Loved listening to JJ's insights into martial arts, action choreography, stuntwork, and directing. The behind the scenes stories were awesome as well! I can see why JJ got into this business, he's got a ton of energy. Totally hyped up after watching! Please bring him on again!

      With a rare few exceptions like Seagal, the vast majority of the people he's interviewed for this series seem very sincere, humble and polite - I think the discipline and self knowledge required to really be a skilled martial artist plays a part in that.

      @glaeken_molasar Před 3 lety +2

      Only ones that I don't expect is Li and JCVD.
      As you remember while working things out on Assassin Games with JCVD, Scott was not happy with JCVD behavior on Border Patrol (their first film), where JCVD reduced the final fight to a quick punch up where he won somehow when it was supposed to be a proper showdown.
      And while they have praised each other since Expendables 2 and Assassin Games, it never felt trully genuine. And even Michael Jai White mentioned on one of the episodes that JCVD did the same with his fight in UniSol 2.
      As for Jet Li, this one I just don't feel like it is happening.
      Happy to be wrong on these two.
