That final fight in King of the Kickboxers between Loren and Billy Blanks was my favorite when I was a kid starting out in martial arts.
I loved that movie in the 90s, as a child.
The music was legendary.
Hell yeah! That fight was a big deal to a little martial arts geek growing up in the 90’s.
Loved that film as well with billy blanks unblockable move
Loren Avedon was bad ass he deserves a comeback. So underated, get him and scott in a film 👌🏻
Be brilliant to see these two together in a film 📼
@@Chris-ek3uf defos 🥊💯💪🏻
Cynthia Rothrock too, and get Sammo Hung to direct. Make it the martial arts version of The Expendables.
I like his mature look. I wonder if He's still in physical form.
That would be an absolute treat!
Loren is underappreciated in the martial arts genre. Great that you're having him on. Try and get Chuck Jeffreys for an episode!
No, i think it would be too much, we need another big personality like we had in the previous episodes... now if we could have JCVD or Donnie Yen, it would be great... 😌
I don't know about that. Growing up in the 80/90s, we grouped the top martialarts stars in 5 categories. Best Chinese hero aka good guy(Jackie), Best Chinese Villain aka the boss (Hwang Jang Lee ), Best American Hero(Loren Avendo), Best female fighter(Cynthia Rothrock) and best American villain(Franco aka Rion Hunter). This was in Nigeria when films were limited but martial art movies were abundant and we knew little of their trivia's or nationalities. Avendo was huge in Nigeria with all the others due to No Retreat No Surrender 2/3 that were huge then. Michael Dudikoff was too but he was Ninja loll. Sho Kosugi was Master Ninja of all Ninja actors then.
Yeah Chuck Jeffreys is amazing.
He was great. Like if Eddie Murphy had a black belt. That's Chuck.
Yooo Chuck Jeffreys would be dope af. That's my guy
Gary Daniels should be next. Jeff speakman perfect weapon is underrated too
Hell yeah. I would love Gary Daniels to be interviewed by Adkins
Gary Daniels would be a great guest!!
@@DawgHousePodcast I know right
Agree 1000%, Chuck Norris and Dan Insanto must be interviewed by Adkins!!!
Also David Bradley
Loren and I have been friends for almost 30 years and trained together at the Jet Center and TKD West with J.J. Perry. Scott, Thank you for this interview. I am a huge fan of your work. Awesome !!!!
Seria bueno que hiciera una nueva pelicula todos deseamos que este de nuevo en el cine nunca es tarde...lo necesitamos YA...
That is awesome! I bet you have some great training memories, sir 👍
Keith vitale, jeff wincott, cynthia rothrock, gary daniels, mark dacasso, philip rhee, richard norton, the bloodsport 2 guy, ... u can do it Scotty!
bloodsport 2 Chad Stahelski
And Lorenzo Lamas too
Daniel Bernhardt
Yes, Richard Norton. Has there been another Aussie movie martial artist?
Darren Shahlavi was also good, but so underrated... RIP, Darren!
.....and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. His fighting scenes with Jackie Chan were second to none.
Ricardo Pasten yes!!! I’d love to see him on the show.
There is a lot to work with: his 2 fights with Jackie, his fight with Richard Norton (where he pretty much plays himself), and was the stunt guy/choreographer in Roadhouse
Facts
Has Benny the Jet ever fought in the ring with Dennis Alexio?
@@Armando.Sepulveda Seeing that Dennis Alexio only loss was to the Dragon and Benny the Jet retired undefeated we can come to the conclusion that no he did not fight in the ring with Alexio
The King of the Kickboxers one of my favorite martial arts action film. Loren, Billy Blanks and Keith Cooke is amazing martial artists.
One of the best I agree
"I've been in hell.....for 10 long years...........AAAAAAAAAAH!"
This man was the real deal on the 80s. I didn't know why his career didn't take off having such a great figthing skills ..Greetings from Colombia south America..
King of the Kickboxers!
He had to give up acting to look after his daughter, as a single parent.
He is b movie category
@@ogcombatacademy Thanks for the info.
I've said it before, a remake of king of the kickboxers with Scott playing Jake and Michael Jai White playing Khan, make it happen Hollywood
Yoooooo genius
Or maybe a sequel where Loren Avedon needs to train Scott like he was trained by Keith Cooke in the original
Imposible hacer un remake de king of kickboxers que es un clásico, Loren Avedon tenia mucho carisma y Billy Blanks estaba en su mejor momento.
You sir deserve a medal!
They need to do it independently. Hollywood would screw it up with all the fuckin shaky cam and quick cuts.
*Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Iko Uwais, Van Damme, Lateef Crowder, etc. Pls we need them in future episodes* 😊🙏🔥🔥
I agree with you 100% mate 😁💪
I'd love to see Crowder on here
Jackie Chan will be a very difficult one
Don't forget Chuck Norris
@@welcometothemovies9157 I was expecting van damme to be apart of this before Loren Avedon or Gareth Evans since they did work together in 4 movies plus got to replace Van Damme for Hard target 2
Please get Cynthia Rothrock on. She was the queen of late 80s early 90s American martial arts movies.
I second this!
Yes yes yes!!!
Cynthia was a bad ass. I would love to see Mr. Tae bow Billy Blanks and Cynthia Rothrock on this too.
Have not heard that name in a long time, i remember her for her scorpion kick, and i agree i would love to see her on with Scott. Also should have on Don The Dragon Wilson, he made allot of movies in the late 80's early 90's
Thank God you suggest this
I still love Loren Avendon.
He was awesome on his movies, great artist martial and great movies.
But more, he had a normal shape, like a common guy and he was acting
with a great sense of humor, a derision, a kind of mockery very subtil.
It's why is simply outstanding !
I am sure he has a great timming for fun movies.
Big up Loren !!!
I wasn't expecting Loren Avedon at all with this series, so this will be a real treat. A favorite of mine back in the days of early/mid '90s straight-to-video martial arts films.
Great to see Loren getting some respect. Men like him were doing a lot of good work but don't always get the recognition. Would love to see Gary Daniels!
Maybe next time you invite Keith Cooke. His kicks are very cool.
It's SUCH a shame we don't see many of the great 80's action movies in HD and beyond... So many forgotten great movies that's gonna be forgotten the further away from them we go.
Peter Sugarfoot Cunningham and Gary Daniels should be next...or I would love to hear Hwang Jang Lee Story! The best evil villain of all times 💯👍😂😂😂
I would watch this guys movies RELIGIOUSLY. Hes still is the King
This was a fkn treat ! Older and new Legends meeting like this talking about movies i loved back in 91 when i saw KOKB and NRNS earlier. Scott is just talking about Loren's movies as a fan and they way i felt about them, so on point about the funny acting and the 80s music which had a charm we all know and love. This is my favourite interview thus far Scott, well done m8.
Man I love this series... Im 48 now, but it makes me feel 15 again..
Scott! Thanks for giving us fans this opportunity. And thank you to all the guests on this show! Loren is underrated by the way...good to see him. NRNS 2 and 3, and King of Kickboxers - fight scenes were great!
King of the kickboxers , was a real rock . Especially the fight with loren and billy blanks
Scott. Martial Artist in my mid 40s. I grew up with these movies in London. On behalf of my brother and I, thank you so much. This interview sparked so many memories. Your interview has settled a lot of questions we all had back then.
Thanks.
Andrew
Yo buddy Get Iko Uwaits on the podcast, he’s a bad ass !
I'm definitely binge watching Loren Avedon this weekend. LOL. I'm a sucker for martial arts films from any era.
Gary Daniels 👍
Good job Mr Adkins! With this series, you are doing a better job than many other regular interviewers. And glad to see some love for the Seasonal Films productions from that time period. Keep them coming!
One correction though: I'm pretty sur Loren Avedon is mixing up Meng Hoi with Yuen Biao. Meng Hoi was the usual choreographer for Corey Yuen during the 80ies and they do have some similar appearances.
Lastly, one fun fact: When I started covering HK cinema back in the early 2000ies and talked with people from the industry, I remember asking them if there was a potential martial art star around. And I got several telling me "this Scott Adkins guy has potential". Glad to see they were right!
that was a fantastic interview. a huge thank you to Scott Adkins for this one. when i was a kid in the 80s and 90s i loved watching martial arts films all the time. i hope to see Scott and Loren do a film together one day.
Amazing platform. Watched King of the Kickboxers only recently for the first time. An awesome movie for its low budget humour that captures 90s martial arts and Kickboxing era really well. Didn't realise Keith Cooke is teacher too, be great to him interviewed.
Loren Avedon is pure action. During my childhood going to cinema to watch his movies was a must. Great memories. Thanks for bringing these awesome guests, Scott.
Gary Daniels, Cynthia Rothrock, Billy Blanks, Keith Vitali, Jeff Wincott, Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Phillip Rhee are incredible choices for next chapters.
Damn, he connected with my guys Phillip and Simon Rhee too? AND one of his base styles is what I've studied and taught for years, Hapkido. This is so awesome
Well that makes sense, since phillip Rhee's background is Taekwondõ and Hapkidõ. I wish Loren had showcased more of his own Hapkidõ grappling skills in his movies.
@geoffreyfletcher6976 you literally made my point.......I studied Hapkido and Taekwando just as they did...hence my comment.
I also met all of these guys and trained with them two weeks ago. Billy Blanks, Loren, Phillip and Simon Rhee, Cynthia Rothrock, Taimak Keith Cooke and Don The Dragon Wilson 🐉
I loved No Retreat No Surrender 2 it was better than its predecessor. Also King of KickBoxer Damn!! I’ve been saying this make a movie featuring 80s-90s Martial Arts actors like The HongKong Martial Arts equivalent of The Expendables.
Absolutly love this 🙏 and those scenes from “The Drive” are for me one of the best fight scenes ever, it Looks like Scott dont know Mark Dacascos very well, I would like to see him in this series pretty much 🙏
Me gusta mucho la película retroceder nunca rendirse jamás 3 . Me encanta y te vez muy encantador
This one was epic!!! I loved Lorens work growing up! Thank you Scott. Can I request Cynthia Rothrock!! She could kick ass!! ❤🤘
Boyka, try to get the flawlessly beautiful Cynthia Rothrock on here, that'll be extremely exciting and awesome to watch.
How lucky you are...
They fight with electro shockers, thats the flash for, every hit implements an electric "load". At the end off the fight after he used some boots from an oponent, they started melting because of the heat of the many electro shocks!^^ Love that movie... Nice vid btw!
I do not like Loren, he looks 30 whilst I look my age of 47 and he is 11yrs older than me😡😡
Joking aside his movies were awesome and I was just like Scott, eyes glued to the TV.

@@wishooo3617 I said I'm an Indian too
Looks good for his age. Be great to see him in Expendables 4.
The Expendables films are terrible. Better that they do their own martial arts version.
Thanks for interviewing Loren Avedon! I loved his movies back in the day! I always felt he was underrated as a martial arts movie star. The last thing I saw him in was in an episode of Sammo Hung's TV show 'Martial Law' (he didn't have a fight scene, though 😢). I always wondered what happened to him, so thanks for this! 👍👍👍

The King of the Kickboxers and No Retreat No Surrender 3 were the BEST HARD FIGHTS I've ever saw as a teenager. Love these 2 films! Loren Avedon always had me laughing with your energy! Thank You!
Lauren Avedon is a legend, everything he's in i love it! No other action actor or actor in general measures up to Lauren. He's not only a marshal arts wizard, but he's so funny, cool, and so so talented. if there is one actor or famous person in the world I'd go out of my way to meet at some convention or something its Lauren. Van-Damme step aside, Lauren is our true kickboxing king! I'd love to see him in more movies even if he's not the one kicking! And someone get him more subscribers on his RUclips channel!
Absolutely love this podcast series. Great interviewing work by Scott Adkins. I met Scott while working at MCM Comic Con and he's a genuinely great guy, super nice, and awesome with fans. Really hope Chad Stahelski puts him in the next couple of John Wick films and Gareth Evans finds a spot for him in Season Two of Gangs of London. Best of luck to you Scott. Really hope you keep making these podcasts. Would love to see you speak with Gary Daniels, Oliver Gruner, Iko Uwais, Jeff Wincott, Amy Johnston, and Cynthia Rothrock, but whomever you get next I'll be watching.
Lorens way too humble I see these clips and he was amazingly fast and acrobatic ..great stuff.
Yoooo omg Loren?!!! Such a fucking legend. To this day I STILL watch No Retreat No Surrender 3 and King of Kick Boxers faithfully. Gonna get comfortable and watch the hell outta this
Brilliant interview Scott. Like you, I grew up watching Loren Avedon also. I remember when he performed at the clash of the titans event. Is it just me or do I sense a look of Steve Carrell in Loren?? Keep up the good work 👍
Any chance of interviewing CYRIL RAFFAELLI?
Yeah i agree good choice

Skot please next Mark Dakascos,Next Iko Iwais thanks.
I googled him yesterday and looking,no retreat no surrender 2..wtf
I loved him in the king of the kick-boxer. I was looking for Van Damme‘a Kick-boxer but the VHS rental didn’t have it and instead offered me Loren’s video. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with his kicks and loved his goofy personality. Great interview.
Scott sou FROM 🇧🇷.
SOU FÃ NUMBER ONE do LOREN AVEDON des dos anos 90...assisti todos os muvies dele.
Rei do kick Box..foi um marco na minha VIDA.
Haha this has been brilliant to watch. I adored no retreat no surrender 3 so much I ruined my VHS. Watching 2 of my favs right now is amazing.🤘🏴
Why aren’t you Batman man. Audition for the role
He did. Affleck got it
Loren Avedon and Keith Cooke taught me amazing kicking techniques in King of Kickboxers, in fact Prang's training is one of the best.
Thanks Scott and thanks Loren for teaching us so much.
Taekwondo For ever!!
Scott Adkins reminds me of Johnny Cage I would've loved to see you in the mortal kombat remake.
Imagine he invite Ho Sung Pak (Liu Kang) he also played in "Drunken Master II" 👍
@@jasonred3874 they would've made the mk reboot a beast their skills and acting plus they were made for those 2 roles
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💝💝💝💝💝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
OM NAMASTE 🙏RESPECTED SIR GREAT WORK EVER🙏🇮🇳💝🐅🌏LOVE RESPECT 💝FROM GREAT ANCIENT VEDIC SANATAN ARYA INDIA 🙏💝💝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💝💝🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏😀😀😀😀
I hope you don't forget to do an episode with Rick Baker!. This is my favorite episode so far. I grew up watching The King Of The Kickers and No Retreat No Surrender 2&3 and i still love all of them very much. LET THE GIRL GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol Classic
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Avedon seems like such a humble, chill dude. It’s always cool when someone you grew up watching turns out to have no ego. And I chuckled at his weed reference at the beginning there. Californians know what’s up!
Edit: And my man’s out here giving a shout-out to “Drive” and Mark Dacascos! One of my favorite movies - maybe the best Hong Kong movie not made in Hong Kong ever. Sakamoto is a legend.
New king of kickboxers!
Prang= Loren Avedon
Jake= Scott
Khan= MJW
Make it happen!
How would the same actor become a completely different character 😅 and by "new" Do you mean a remake or a sequel?.......your idea wouldn't make sense as a sequel because Prang died.....and Keith Cooke is literally the most advanced and impressive martial artist on screen of the original 3. He's the last person you want to take out. And he's not "too old" etc either and can still move incredibly well.
I know personally because I met and trained with the entire King of Kickboxers cast two weeks ago, in addition to Phillip and Simon Rhee, Don The Dragon Wilson, Taimak and Cynthia Rothrock
A collaboration with the guys from Martial Club would be awesome. Just an idea.
I sooo have been sleeping on this series . Who says meeting your heros would be disappointing. Maybe Steven Seagal, lol kidding not kidding. Also if you still looking for potential interviews please do one for the following, Lexi Alexander, Chad Stahalski,
David Leitch, (Holy Grail interviews) JCVD of Course. Jackie Chan, Bolo Yeung, Sammo Hung, Tony Leung, Chow Yun Fat, Tony Jaa, Jet Li, Jalal Merhi, Sunil Shah, Corey Yuen, Woo Ping Yuen, Donnie Yen, Ray Park. Keith Cooke, Keith Vitali, Chris Casmassa, Ted Jan Roberts, Ralph Macchio and Billy Zabka, Mr Tae-Bo himself Billy Blanks,
Hello Scott Adkins
Loren Averdon . His movies were great. Scott I hope you would get Keanu Reeves for your interview so that he can tell us about his experience in doing the fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, john wick and man from Tai Chi. Do get him
Also guys like Billy Blanks and of course Wesley Snipes.
Richard Norton, Don "the Dragon" Wilson, Benny "the jet" Urquerez, Cynthia Rothrock, Jerry Trimble and Karen Shepherd
Legends
Ayyyyeee!✊🏿🔥🔥🙌🏿
*Dudikoff
Remember that guy, Olivier Gruner(?). I may be butchering his last name but I liked a lot of his movies in the 90s also.
@@maysonstorm4956 You got his name right and he was the real deal. He was military trained.
Legit watched King of the Kickboxers last night!! Amazing.
Lauren .... Aka the real life johnny cage 😂. Even tho cage was inspired by van damn however lauren fits the character better
Scott adkins sir x rayed with Indian action hero & martial artist vidyut jamwal coming 28th July in vidyut jamwal you tube channel. Must watch. Love you Scott adkins sir.
There's something about Loren's action that looks very compelling. He doesn't look like an actor doing a choreography, no. His moves are so crisp & passionate he looks like as if he really were fighting! That's what sells the action! Sorry to say, even JCVD, his helicopter split kick aside doesn't look convincing in the way he'd punch the bad guys - one simple punch, vibrates like a dildo & a slow-mo kihap that seems to increase gravity by tenfolds that his opponent can't get up for the moment.
Catching up to the series now in 2021. I must say that when I saw that Scott had interviewed Loren, I lost my mind. The King of The Kickboxer is my absolute favorite martial arts movie from the 80s/90s. Loved this episode.
Loren is a bad actor, but a cool and forgotten fighter from the 90s!) I love "The King of Kickboxers" and "No Retreat, No Surrender 2 and 3". Hello from Russia :)
It's soooo great you got Loren Avedon! KOTKB is one of my all time faves and some of the fights still hold up and look amazing today! Those were such fun movies to watch!!! I always felt like Ninja 2 had a bit of that flair!
Scott, you NAILED it: As silly as those movies can get, they are always silly in a way that is incredibly CHARMING. Great to see Loren looking and sounding so good. Really just enjoying the heck out of this series! Keep 'em coming! Hoping you get to talk to Cynthia and Billy sometime!
I watched no retreat no surrender 2 so many times as a kid and I remember most scenes. What I don't remember is the fight between anyone and the black guy from the the VCR cover lol
Shoutout to Cynthia rothrock
Please do:
Robin Shou, Keith Cooke, Hakim Alston, Francois Petit, Gerald Okamura and Chris Casamassa from Mortal Kombat.
Also;
Ray Park, Dana Hee, and many many more please.
Mr Loren Avedon , big fan here ! King of the Kickboxers , one of most underrated , amazing martial arts movie ! Loved Your action in no surrender no retreat too 😎🤘🏻🙏🏻
Interesting to see Roy Horan being mentioned. Would love to see him featured here one day. He was great in Game of Death 2.
No Retreat No Surrender 2 is absolutely one of my favourites! Loved it back in the day and still love it now. I think that was the first VHS tape I ever bought for myself.
Scott,you should invite Mark Dacascos next. He is a brilliant martial actor, solid actor but very much underrated.
What a truly wonderful interview and great chemistry between you both.
Hi Scott, this is Sajmeister. I met you in 2018 in Birmingham at the premier for Accident Man. I'm the president of Loren Avedon fan club, was great to meet you and you were so happy to see me when I said who I was.
King of kickboxer and blood Brothers are classic movies here in Brasil... King of kickboxer are one of the best "no Chinese" martial arts movies of all time...
Rion Hunter? My nightmare for many years
Love those Seasonal Film Corporation films with Lauren & all of them..
man i love this series. im subbed. all these action stars that i watched through out my teens and early 20s and absolutely loved. Thank you for this Scott Adkins, huge fan of yours as well . Wouldnt have found this channel without watching you! =)
My total respect to my friend the máster Loren Avedon ,and the máster Scott Adkins, oss
No Retreat 2 was my movie as a kid!! Always wonder whatever happened to this guy. Thanks brother for the interviews!!! This is awesome and you are the right guy for all of this!!!
Man Scott! This series is awesome... all my childhood action/Martial Arts stars
That nostalgia man🙏
So good! I absolutely love the old karate movies, grown up with them and watched them countless times. They was the reason to start with my training. And Scott Adkins brings back the feeling with his art of fighting and now with this super cool interviews. So good to see my old idols. Loren Avedon and Scott Adkins in one movie, please!
Damn, Loren is a genuinly great guy.
And Drive is a thing of beauty. Bring on Marc.
i would luv to see on show Don the Dragon Wilson, Daniel Bernhardt, Phillip Rhee, Thomas Ian Griffith, Keith Vitali, Darren Shahlavi, Cynthia Rothrock, Matthias Hues, Matt Mullins, Gina Carano, lorenzo lamas, Jeff Speakman, robin shou and many more your this is one of the greatest videos i have seen from scott adkins

I hope you read this Comment... You absolutely blew my mind with this week's podcast. Thank you so much, I grew up watching Loren's Movies and I loved them so much as they had that Asian martial arts feel to it. So smooth and quick. Thank you again.
That was a great video! Next Chuck Norris... LoL!
Who's going to be next?
Like for Iko Uwais
Comment for Jackie Chan
Loved Loren's work. Massive fan - loved this interview.
