Film School Rejects: Fact: Wolverine’s Scott Adkins is a Scary Man

  • FILM_FREEK · 7 months ago
    That's an interesting piece,
    Established martial artists, like Adkins add that touch of authencity to the role they bring, even though it may limited to the ass-kickery they indulge on-screen
    Even Sebastien Foucan, who is one of the founders of the sport - Parkour (free-running) and played a bit part in Casino Royale as Mollaka, gave an authencity to the stunts that he performed, and for the short sequence he was on screen, completely eclipsed Daniel Craig's rough-and-tumble Bond.

    the man is a beast...ever since Undisputed 2 I've pegged this guy as the next action star....he also has "acting" talent which is almost unheard of in the action/stunt world...

    Looks like a nice boy in his little kung fu pajamas - pre-orchestrated Kata aside, he'd still get his head kicked in in a street-fight if he relied on all that showey nonsense. Alright for film fantasy fights though i suppose.

    Um.."Smojo" w/e that is, dont that this to personally but.....Scott Adkins with rape your face with his foot. Have you seen how ripped the guy is? He doesnt even need all those tricks, hell straight up kill your ass.

    Lol@Matts comments: a) - I never said I'd fight him, I said he pre-orchestrated kata means nothing in a streetfight. Lmao@ "look at how ripped he is" - its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog - stick this pretty boy in a Max Security Prison with the real hardcases and see how long he lasts.

    What video did you watch, because I saw him training boxing and MMA. He also has six black belts, including ones in judo and jujitsu. Just because he can jump over a car and kick 2 guys in the face at the same time doesn't mean he can't just straight knock you out. If you want to be one of the those internet fight experts who hate martial arts and insist on "street fight training" go ahead, but you should always be wary of a guy who can kick you in the face while standing still before you could even throw your lame roundhouse punch.
