He's very much like the stuntman Brad Pitt plays in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". So calm and grounded, centered, lots of presence and for every situation a witty remark on the lips...
I'm starting to wonder if one you have similar taste in vids to some ppl or you just watch all of RUclips but none the less I respect how you've become a RUclips comment icon. May you always get top comment!!!
What a perfect fit for the corridor guys. Scott’s a class act and absolute legend. Having him compliment your choreo tho? Sheeesh man. What a dope thing to put on ur resume
@oeufdufromage Professionals vs a VFX artist, ofc the professionals will be better. But that doesn't make it bad. Just to give an example, take prime Usain Bolt vs the number 100 fastest guy in the world. Usain bolt wins, but that doesn't make the other guy slow.
@oeufdufromage No one said it was as good as a professional. My example is to show that just because one is better, doesn't mean that the other is bad.
Scott is literally a Barbarian that has his Charisma and Dexterity Stats Maxed out. It's rare seeing someone so passionate and talented yet humble and personable. He deserves so much more credit than he's ever received.
As soon as Nerf Jon Wick came up and he's like "I need you to poke as many holes as possible..." pffft it's gonna be nothing but praise and Niko knows it. That video is top tier action. That's the whole conceit of Corridor IMO - indie studio that does it better than the big boys
He was so obviously flattered and starstruck when he was just complimenting the Nerf John Wick video (rightfully so, it’s one of the best original action videos this platform ever put out), so sweet to see him happy to be acknowledged by someone he has so much respect for.
Scott is probably becoming "Top 5 people you'd love to have a beer with" on a lot of people's list. Also "Top 5 people you'd like to have with you in a bar room brawl"
Dude Scott is one of the most chill and nicest guys especially when he does his Art of Action stuff and martial arts tutorials on his channel, I do actually want to have a beer with the man cus I've also been training in multiple fighting styles ever since I was a kid (currently training in kickboxing/MMA) and he's actually one of my inspirations
I don't get why they even bother with actors for action movies. like just make the stunt guys the star, they're the ones actually doing all the cool shit anyway....
@@noahwhite659 who cares though, we're not watching action movies for the acting. Like best action movie series ever is ong back or the protector or whatever it's called Tony jaa got his bhuda statue/elephant stolen and now hes pissed. It's all you need to know really. Dont even need subtitles or anything XD
Damn, Scott is such a great guest for the show, he talks more than most of your guests and after getting the question he just carries the conversation forward, constantly feeding information to the viewer. Honestly a pleasure to listen to him, his insight and knowledge of the industry are delivered so well to the viewers. I guess what makes such a difference is the fact that Scott not only has the knowledge since he does the stunts, but his actual acting experience helps him hold the conversation on camera in a very chill yet information packed manner.
@@slyane7320 Yes! I met him in New York City a few years ago! I was so flustered, I didn't ask for a photo or autograph, lol. I said so,nothing along the lines of, "you must really appreciate the fans who recognize you, because you know they're REAL fans!" I felt so stupid, lol. I met George Clooney and JLo in Florida when they were filming Out of Sight. And Milla Jovavich in Portugal in 2000. That's my famous person list, but Ray was still the coolest.
i think if undisputed 2 was released anytime between 95-02 he would. undisputed 2 was in 06 and i think he JUST missed the cutoff. he absolutely should be a megastar. and it is indeed a crime. he should be a go to action guy in hollywood. he's got character range he does great fight scenes and he's a good looking dude. it's so odd he's not a household name.
Man... Scott has been my favorite action actor for years now and it's so cool to see him on one of my favorite shows. I've always thought that he is so slept on as an actor and any time he makes an appearance in a big budget film, I get so excited.
If he could pull off an American accent and be extremely cocky, I could totally see him portraying an older Johnny Cage. A lot of his flips give me that vibe. He’s really entertaining to watch too!
He is the guy who can steal your girl & all you will keep wondering if You were that girl (he is not only handsome but everything about him is almost to perfect)
@@derdes4475 do a twist on Deadpool/Hitman's Bodyguard. Have Ryan play a fictionalized version of himself that's attacked, and have Scott be his stuntman that ends up protecting him.
@@tychothefriendlymonolith Yeah, he can keep the accent and I wouldn't even care. Even though he can do a good American accent, I love his natural accent. Out of curiousity, how were you able to place his accent to a specific city in England? I'm an American very interested in accents. We mostly have different accents by state but not a specific city. Are accents that varying in England, city by city?
Scott Adkin's is a hilarious person, on top of being a phenomenal action director and choreographer. His ability to put himself into the role is very top tier too. It's not just that, but just how he can hold a conversation with just about anyone. I genuinely love seeing him on the channel. Also, mega props to Corridor Crew for their own action scenes, humor, and affable personalities. Everyone is just great, honestly.
at 3:14....its referenced as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure....but that screen grab is from Bill & Ted's Bogus journey......I noticed it IMMEDIATELY....but I swear....I DO HAVE A LIFE! Love these videos and Corridor! You guys ROCK!
This is literally the perfect group. I absolutely love the chemistry between Freddie and Scott, mixed with the insight and kinda dry humor of Niko. It's so enjoyable, insanely interesting, and brightens my week. :)
8:44 I can't compliment you enough for that mordhau. These kinds of actual historical techniques aren't shown enough in movies/tv. Very cool and I appreciated seeing it.
The forearm part, where he is talking about martial artists not being hurt by it; it is called mirco-fracturing. That's how you can do the knuckle punches and shit. Even being out of it for years, it is still noticeable. I could kick tree stumps and be fine, where my cousin broke a toe hitting the wall. Taekwondo is mostly focused around legs, this man Scott prob had to do outside conditioning.
Weird you say that, cause from my experience fighting guys who did taekwondo basically every block is a fore-arm block, like the an makgi or arae makgi. Also, when blocking with forearms so much the muscles absorb a lot of the hit, you can see in the scene at 10:52 when he says he is anticipating the kick, he uses the flexor muscles to absorb it. A friend of mine who did Taekwondo had the strongest forearm of everyone I knew
Tbh most actor who are willing to play the bad guy aren't a bad person. They are professionals who don't mind their image being "damaged". Meanwhile some actor have to control over how badly their ass can be kicked in the movie. Or how flawless their character have to be.
@@owenlee7146 Yeah, I heard about how Vin Diesel and The Rock had a contract on how many hits each one could take relative to the other. It's stupid egotistical BS. Just makes me respect and appreciate actors like Scott even more.
@@ehongkongwong if I am not mistaken Vin Diesel actually came up with a mathematical solution to make sure everyone was hit the same amount during fight scenes. No one approved it even tho it was p solid reasoning
10:49 I honestly don't think it looks like he did it too soon, to me, it looks like the character saw an incoming hit and put their arms up to protect their torso/head by pure reaction. Don't know the movie or the character is about, it looks like how a normal person might protect themselves from being hit after being hit already
2:14 I love that clip! I think that side by side rlly shows the benefit or doing animation, the strikes feel like they have so much weight, not saying the real stuntmen didn’t do great jobs, but you can tell they aren’t actually getting hit as hard
One of these days, I'd like to see Scott and Amy on at the same time. They're both so great, but they could also break down the awesome work they did together in Accident Man.
You guys pick great quests for all of these stunt reacts. Scott has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Congrats on getting him to sit down with you.
Scott's is a really an institution when it comes to action, fight choreography, and stunts. Really love this series as well. How about Ray Park in the green crouch reacting to stunts?
Long time fan of Scott. Such an under-rated performer and actor. He should be doing all A-level movies and have his own John Wick level quality series.
They did three things in this episode: 1: They got Scott Adkins AND Freddie on the couch. 2: They referenced Jackie Chan to come and sit down with them. 3: They referenced GUARDIANS OF FREAKING GA'HOOLE!!!!!!!! Let's hope we see this again in future episodes!
Scott has been one of my favorites for probably 10-15 years. His scenes are some of if not the best I’ve ever seen. The 3way fight with tony jaa and the other guy was incredible.
Stupid idea for a fun video: "what's even happening?" The idea is its an action type video, but EVERYTHING is just all out of whack, some examples: - someone gets kicked in the gut but act like they got hit in the face, - using a gun to stab someone like its a knife, - backhand slapping someone and their head violently explodes, - landing a hit and the reaction are obviously out of timing, - a guy gets hit in the nads and upon impact the camera cuts and the *actor* is swapped with an *actress* - one scene theres so many jump cuts that the fighters stop as if they're aware its happening, and wait for a steady camera to continue the fight etc etc :p
First of all, another great video. Second of all, as far as I can tell, Scott Adkins is one of the most charming, humble and likable Action Stars I've ever had the pleasure to be entertained by. Besides being one of the best in the genre. Love the series as I love many more on this channel. Keep it up guys. You're awesome.
I've always thought he looked like a more hard core version of Ryan Reynolds for sure. And yeah, him as the Deadpool stunt double in Origins was pretty fitting.
That scene where Scott forgot to fight and then he remember is actually one of the best from his work in my opinion, its so satisfing to whatch that transition between average nonfighter and fucking confident fighting mashine, fighting is actually knowledge, this realy works in movies, evolving, change, improvement, I think his talent is often shaded with no very good scripts.
In “Never Back Down”, there’s a fight with a capoeira fighter who gets knocked to the floor half way through a front flip. If you search RUclips, you can find a behind the scenes footage of this fight showing that it was done in a single take. My question is, how did that guy drop to the floor so fast? Was it a wire pull? If so, how is the wire attached allowing him to do all the flips and shit before the hit? If it wasn’t a wire pull, how did he kill the momentum of his front flip so fast? Did he just take that hit for real?
Hey, I’m assuming you mean the fight where the capoeira fighter gets knocked in one punch by the main antagonist? Essentially, the actor attempts a cartwheel into the antagonist in attempts to make a move. If you watch the clip, you’ll notice that the capoeira guy makes a complete rotation onto his feet before getting “hit”. It’s actually not too difficult to reverse the momentum from forward to backwards as long as you have your feet planted and are anticipating a strike. As soon as the capoeira guy gets hit, he shoots his legs out from underneath him, and arches his upper body towards the floor. This gives the effect that the punch was effective enough to knock him out in one punch through sheer force and accuracy!
@@KidRyu_ Yeah Capoeria guy obviously knows hes supposed to get punched because of choreography. So as soon as his feet hit the ground he throws himself back hard, at the moment the punch is to land
Niko "It's just a lot of, like, doing it in your imagination over & over. It's watching John Wick, and then like, playing with the Nerf gun _pretending_ you're John Wick" Ahh, the Lee Strasburg method. As David Harbour said about it on Hot Ones "...it's not about actually like, *being* the character, because you can't. It's about your metaphoric relationship. Acting _as if_ you're the character"
@@MrALenCar321 You Fool! Read my comment properly. I didn't say Scott is better Actor then Ben. I replied to him that Scott adkins is way more Popular then Ben because Scott is a Martial artist. His Action sequences are mindblowing. Watch Undisputed franchise. We want Batman like that.
Scott Adkins being so impressed with how good Corridor is at stuntwork with so little time is the highest compliment. They really could do Hollywood choreography.
Hear me out, I have an idea for your next video. What if you remade the face melt scene from Indiana Jones, the scene can have so much more with modern VFX! It was a work of it’s time, and you can do so much with the scene!
YES! Corridor Crew listens to their subscribers cause they brought back that amazing dude!! I could watch endless videos with Scott in them cause dude is hilarious and awesome.
Just watched Nobody. Great action film. Loved the long takes and how the fighting looked more real with Hutch taking lots of hits. Love you guys to look at it.
I was actually quite impressed by the 'Infinity War' opening bout between Thanos and Hulk and Hawkeye/Ronin vs. the Yakuza in 'Endgame'. For a superhero movie the last thing I expected were things that weren't super fanciful but was just pure dirty boxing and some stylized fighting without showing a lot of fighting.
@@HermanFalckHow thats not even the bare minimum... its significantly different to make superhero fights than regular people... you just cant have the same type of fights when the fighters can literally break a normal man in half, with a punch. The physics change completely... they have to change, otherwise the participants look comically underpowered.
@@HermanFalckHow I think you've missed the point, but if you wanna talk about budget maybe wait until Corridor makes a "TV/Film Producers React" series lol
That was brilliant!!! I’m a big martial arts fan and I found this not only entertaining, but informative and interesting. I love Scott Adkins, I find him very underrated to be honest… He seems like such a nice guy too!
Scott is epic! A possible scene to run through (that I’m sure has been mentioned a load) is the pub fight from Gangs of London by Gareth Evans, it’s brutal
Scott's charisma is insane, I feel like I could listen to him all day.
If he showed up while I was on a date with my gf I would just leave.
Scott right there is a sigma male
I want more reactions episodes with him
Scott to me sounds like he could be Gavin Free's big brother
He's very much like the stuntman Brad Pitt plays in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood".
So calm and grounded, centered, lots of presence and for every situation a witty remark on the lips...
The way Scott carries himself and talks is great, he seems like a chill and funny dude
unless you meet him at a pub on a friday night, apparently ;) :D
No wonder he's got into so many movies.
i read that as furry
just spit it out ... He is intelligent
Absolute giga Chad
Scott Adkins is an absolute legend, I love seeing him on the couch with the crew
Seconded
I'm starting to wonder if one you have similar taste in vids to some ppl or you just watch all of RUclips but none the less I respect how you've become a RUclips comment icon. May you always get top comment!!!
I like seeing Scott on the couch with the crew but I prefer Lana Rhoades on a couch with the crew.

I dont know if I should get upset by seeing you everywhere or are we just friends by having the same taste
You guys HAVE to make a Batman short film or something with Scott. He’s been wanting to be Batman forever now!!!
He would make a great batman
hes looks so much like ben affleck
YES!! i would live to see him as batman! it will be so dope!
@@chrism45 Never gonna happen though. At least not in an Hollywood production. Maybe for TV.
And then give him a Snickers bar at the end. ;) :D
What a perfect fit for the corridor guys. Scott’s a class act and absolute legend. Having him compliment your choreo tho? Sheeesh man. What a dope thing to put on ur resume

@@bobenon1 no point in arguing with stupid man lol
Seeing Niko's face as Scott's complimenting his action scenes is just the most precious thing ever
i'd go red. honestly you can't get a better compliment from a better guy.
That was such a good part of the video, he actually was properly taken aback!
Scott is my favorite guest you guys have on by far!
Oi, goodluck on yer batb mate!
I agree. Love that guy.
agree, Amey Johnston and Adkins definetly the best. Can only be surpassed with Jackie chan.
It's the voice man. I can listen all day
It's GUI! Lol
Scott is literally a Barbarian that has his Charisma and Dexterity Stats Maxed out. It's rare seeing someone so passionate and talented yet humble and personable. He deserves so much more credit than he's ever received.
So he's a Chieftain.
Nah pretty sure he's a monk. He's brimming with finesse & wisdom too much to be a barbarian
He could also be a fighter. Not all Fighters have STR, some specialize in martial arts and Dexterity.
I'd say more like a rouge with some muscle. Lol.
Bro come on guys. You forget about.
M o n k.
Mans a straight monk.
I love how both Niko and Freddie go absolute fanboy when Scott is around...
Scott: *breathes*
Niko and Freddie: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I know it's so cute! !😂
It's annoying, laughing at tiniest jokes
14:12 “I literally couldn’t lift my leg up” proceeds to do it better than 99% of the worlds population
That was another leg though
I notice it was lower than head level. He can make his average, or worst, take better than the best of new, untrained, people.
omg niko’s best effort to hide his excitement at scott’s comment “i need you to choreograph one of my films” was so cute
It definitely should be a Batman short.....
it was adorable, yes. I also ruined the 69 btw, man I've always wanted to say that.
As soon as Nerf Jon Wick came up and he's like "I need you to poke as many holes as possible..."
pffft it's gonna be nothing but praise and Niko knows it. That video is top tier action.
That's the whole conceit of Corridor IMO - indie studio that does it better than the big boys
It was so genuine and sweet. He was on cloud 9.

That reminds me, when the heck are we getting the Jessica half of that Swordguy episode?
He either read the book on "how to be successful" several times....or he is in the process of writing it. 😉
It’s criminal how Scott has never broken the mainstream properly. In the 80s he’d be the biggest star on the planet.
The competition was fiercer in the 80s for both Hollywood & Hong Kong action.

A lot of his stuff went direct-to-video as well so didn't reach the audiences cinema releases can
He's still a big player.
Honestly, even though he said he doesn't want to do anything outside of action, it might do him well to expand a little just for the notoriety
Man... Scott has been my favorite action actor for years now and it's so cool to see him on one of my favorite shows. I've always thought that he is so slept on as an actor and any time he makes an appearance in a big budget film, I get so excited.
Scott Adkins: "This is solid work Niko" Niko: "Really?"

Scott's the type of dude that walks into a room with his theme song playing
He is the guy who can steal your girl & all you will keep wondering if You were that girl

Scott is a legend. Always so humble and engaging. Every time I see he's a guest its an insta-click, doesn't matter where I am.
I love that Scott Adkins has become a recurring guest on this show. You guys willed it into existence and we’ve gotten to hear some awesome takes.
Scott- "my lower back says you should've been an accountant"
Accountant - " my neck and shoulders say you might as well had been a stunt man"
Action comedy seems so literally fitting for Scott. He has the "scowl" for sure but the small comedic jabs came so easily in this episode.
Imagine him side by side with Ryan Reynolds.

I’ve said it every time he’s on and I’ll continue to say it, I fucking love Scott Adkins
That Statham impression was criminally under appreciated! Maybe they just can't tell Brits apart XD
One of these days, I'd like to see Scott and Amy on at the same time. They're both so great, but they could also break down the awesome work they did together in Accident Man.
Throw in Gui and you have a triple combo of awesomeness.
I have literally been binging you all day
I wish I haven't seen them all 😭
@@Vibe4ant Watch them again
You guys pick great quests for all of these stunt reacts. Scott has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Congrats on getting him to sit down with you.
As an accountant who still manages to get injured in day to day life, I think Scott made the right decision.
Lmao, when he said that, I thought "Hey, I'm an accountant, and I still got a lower back injury"
You can actually get back pain from sitting too much in an office chair, so it's not safe as well. ;-)
Scott's is a really an institution when it comes to action, fight choreography, and stunts. Really love this series as well. How about Ray Park in the green crouch reacting to stunts?
Scott Adkins's charisma and skill is insane. This guy should have more roles in mainstream movies, ASAP.
Long time fan of Scott. Such an under-rated performer and actor. He should be doing all A-level movies and have his own John Wick level quality series.
They did three things in this episode:
1: They got Scott Adkins AND Freddie on the couch.
2: They referenced Jackie Chan to come and sit down with them.
3: They referenced GUARDIANS OF FREAKING GA'HOOLE!!!!!!!!
Let's hope we see this again in future episodes!
I wish Guardians had made it into a final cut.
Scott has been one of my favorites for probably 10-15 years. His scenes are some of if not the best I’ve ever seen. The 3way fight with tony jaa and the other guy was incredible.
Seeing Scott on the channel completes it for me. I'd love to see Scott and Gui on at the same time that would be really cool
Stupid idea for a fun video: "what's even happening?"
The idea is its an action type video, but EVERYTHING is just all out of whack, some examples:
- someone gets kicked in the gut but act like they got hit in the face,
- using a gun to stab someone like its a knife,
- backhand slapping someone and their head violently explodes,
- landing a hit and the reaction are obviously out of timing,
- a guy gets hit in the nads and upon impact the camera cuts and the *actor* is swapped with an *actress*
- one scene theres so many jump cuts that the fighters stop as if they're aware its happening, and wait for a steady camera to continue the fight etc etc :p
Not only is this a brilliant idea but the react potential is up there as well
This is great
Sounds awesome!
First of all, another great video.
Second of all, as far as I can tell, Scott Adkins is one of the most charming, humble and likable Action Stars I've ever had the pleasure to be entertained by.
Besides being one of the best in the genre.
Love the series as I love many more on this channel.
Keep it up guys.
You're awesome.
Scott being Scott is so humble. I mean seeing him as boyeka and seeing him sitting with you, he is phenomenal
Y’all are the only youtube series I watch every week! Definitely for movie lovers! I’ll have to check out the app ❤️
We had THE FLASH, SUPERMAN, SUPERGIRL in the small screen, now its time to have a proper BATMAN tv series with Scott in the main role
Scott is so likable and humble. Love his accent. Very funny too have him on again.
It might sound like a stretch, but hear me out: Scott looks like a badasser version of a fusion between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman
Kind of funny considering Scott played the version of Deadpool with the sewn up mouth in Xmen Origins.
I've always thought he looked like a more hard core version of Ryan Reynolds for sure. And yeah, him as the Deadpool stunt double in Origins was pretty fitting.
Nope it's Ben Affleck and high Jackman
I can never unsee that image now haha brilliant
I absolutely love that Scott enjoyed your clips, I could see you guys working together in the future
That scene where Scott forgot to fight and then he remember is actually one of the best from his work in my opinion, its so satisfing to whatch that transition between average nonfighter and fucking confident fighting mashine, fighting is actually knowledge, this realy works in movies, evolving, change, improvement, I think his talent is often shaded with no very good scripts.
Which movie is it ?
@@shongrinberg9268 Universal Soldier “Day of Reckoning”
In “Never Back Down”, there’s a fight with a capoeira fighter who gets knocked to the floor half way through a front flip. If you search RUclips, you can find a behind the scenes footage of this fight showing that it was done in a single take. My question is, how did that guy drop to the floor so fast? Was it a wire pull? If so, how is the wire attached allowing him to do all the flips and shit before the hit? If it wasn’t a wire pull, how did he kill the momentum of his front flip so fast? Did he just take that hit for real?
Hey, I’m assuming you mean the fight where the capoeira fighter gets knocked in one punch by the main antagonist? Essentially, the actor attempts a cartwheel into the antagonist in attempts to make a move. If you watch the clip, you’ll notice that the capoeira guy makes a complete rotation onto his feet before getting “hit”. It’s actually not too difficult to reverse the momentum from forward to backwards as long as you have your feet planted and are anticipating a strike. As soon as the capoeira guy gets hit, he shoots his legs out from underneath him, and arches his upper body towards the floor. This gives the effect that the punch was effective enough to knock him out in one punch through sheer force and accuracy!
@@KidRyu_ Yeah Capoeria guy obviously knows hes supposed to get punched because of choreography. So as soon as his feet hit the ground he throws himself back hard, at the moment the punch is to land
You guys are awesome. So unexpected but amazing at what you do. Plus Scott Adkins is a legend and my favorite
Love Scott , a truly skilled professional without being a complete bighead .
Respect to the guy who respects others .
All of the regulars are always laughing out of control with Scott on the show. Such a charismatic dude.
The final fight scene in Hellova Boss season 1 episode 6 is probably the best animated fight scene I've ever seen
Oh no, another Stuntmen react!? Well, I guess the whole "going to work" thing must wait for another twenty minutes.
Niko "It's just a lot of, like, doing it in your imagination over & over. It's watching John Wick, and then like, playing with the Nerf gun _pretending_ you're John Wick"
Ahh, the Lee Strasburg method. As David Harbour said about it on Hot Ones
"...it's not about actually like, *being* the character, because you can't. It's about your metaphoric relationship. Acting _as if_ you're the character"
“Your fans don’t wanna see you loose on screen”
Shout out to l Lateef Crowder fans finally validated by The Mandalorian
If Warner Brothers had anyone with a brain, they’d cast Scott as Batman. He looks like a young Ben Affleck.
who is gonna pay to see an unknown play batman over ben affleck? might make sense but thats not how money is made
You realise he's only four years younger than Affleck
Scott adkins is way more popular than Ben Affleck.
@@Gameboy-2000 you stupid? Ben is a better actor
@@MrALenCar321 You Fool! Read my comment properly. I didn't say Scott is better Actor then Ben. I replied to him that Scott adkins is way more Popular then Ben because Scott is a Martial artist. His Action sequences are mindblowing. Watch Undisputed franchise. We want Batman like that.
This dude needs his own john wink series. He has so much Charisma and his accent is so buttery smooth.
What's this John Wink's deal? Does he just going around winking at people?
@@khaansulu5695 One assumes he does everything John Wick does, but adds his own little flourish by winking after each fight :)
Scott Adkins being so impressed with how good Corridor is at stuntwork with so little time is the highest compliment. They really could do Hollywood choreography.
Hear me out, I have an idea for your next video. What if you remade the face melt scene from Indiana Jones, the scene can have so much more with modern VFX! It was a work of it’s time, and you can do so much with the scene!
YES! Corridor Crew listens to their subscribers cause they brought back that amazing dude!! I could watch endless videos with Scott in them cause dude is hilarious and awesome.
Just watched Nobody. Great action film. Loved the long takes and how the fighting looked more real with Hutch taking lots of hits. Love you guys to look at it.
I was actually quite impressed by the 'Infinity War' opening bout between Thanos and Hulk and Hawkeye/Ronin vs. the Yakuza in 'Endgame'. For a superhero movie the last thing I expected were things that weren't super fanciful but was just pure dirty boxing and some stylized fighting without showing a lot of fighting.
You shouldn't be impressed when movies like that do the bare minimum. They got the budget to excell and they just don't.
@@HermanFalckHow thats not even the bare minimum... its significantly different to make superhero fights than regular people... you just cant have the same type of fights when the fighters can literally break a normal man in half, with a punch.
The physics change completely... they have to change, otherwise the participants look comically underpowered.
@@HermanFalckHow I think you've missed the point, but if you wanna talk about budget maybe wait until Corridor makes a "TV/Film Producers React" series lol
@@ParkourEh realistic scenes are better than over-the-top ones
Amazing seeing Scott back on board. Would love to see what you guys think of Ozymandias vs The Comedian
I was literally just smiling through out... The best so far
The final fight between Iko Iwais and Joe Taslim in "The Night Comes for Us"
I'd love to see Scott react to that!
Yes please!!! This ☝🏼
holly hell best movie out there
Scott’s performance in undisputed is amazing didn’t realize it was him until he mentioned it
I haven't seen undisputed 2, but undisputed 3 is a favorite of mine. And my favorite Adkins movie by far.
That was brilliant!!!
I’m a big martial arts fan and I found this not only entertaining, but informative and interesting.
I love Scott Adkins, I find him very underrated to be honest…
He seems like such a nice guy too!
as someone who sits at a workbench all day, honestly I feel like his lower back would hate it if he were an accountant too
Ahyep. An accountant friend working long hours from home during the pandemic actually got a herniated disc. From all the sitting.
Thought the same thing. A job where you're sitting all day my be just as bad or worse for your body in the long run
We need at least one of the fights from any of the undisputed movies Scott was in. I love Boyeka man!
Scott is epic! A possible scene to run through (that I’m sure has been mentioned a load) is the pub fight from Gangs of London by Gareth Evans, it’s brutal
That ended of Scott’s realization of his tutorials had me laughing out loud.
