    Magnificent story teller! Never in a million years would I have imagined Tong Po to be this charismatic person on Michel Qissi lol, all his stories are new to me, so cool to hear what REALLY went down on the Predator set.

    Sounds like Qissi was the one who pushed all the doors for JCVD to succeed. After they have had their falling out, you can tell JCVDs career went down the rudder.
    That's freaking Tong Po right there. The scariest looking villain of that genre.

    Adkins has undoubtedly blessed us with many great interviews but this is hands down my favorite. Qissi tells a story worth being a movie itself. He's so alive in his story telling. I hope JC follows suit and comes to the show. This episode was a piece of history for the fans.
