Well, that's quick. Looks like Scott is fully committed to spoil his subscribers with high quality content ))
He really deserves many more views & subscribers
Scott might be trying to rush them now. He is finally heading back to the States soon to resume filming on Dolph Lundgren's "Castle Falls".
Jackie Chan has been mentioned a lot in the last episodes. It would be awesome to see him as a guest.👍
Man, this is one of the greatest things on RUclips right now. Scott's really doing an excellent job
He cut off Andy a handful of times…but forgiven as it’s still a new show
Andy said it really well, and exactly how it is regarding Who am I ?, the choreo's are on the spot shooting almost straight away, while nowdays you have pre viz workshops etc etc. days before, (so your mind can prepare for intense scenes) but jacky is realtime and Scott knows it as well, so yes first movie hard hard, lucky I could control, hold stop the legs else it could have been even dangerous with the speed Jackie is operating. Choreo and remembering is one, but then the rhythm and tempo is like another dimension added on top of this.
Compare it with a beginning actor getting 5 to 8 dialogue lines 2 minutes before executing a scene with full emotions, memory of the lines and flow. This is what it does to the mind. We literally got 1-2 minutes rehearsing before executing these combos, then on top you have the crew, wardrobe, after each take who corrects your suit, make up touching you up, and you talking to yourself... ok ... next take... kick higher... little longer on the stop..... look at jackie after the last kick.... turn faster...... .. Then 20 seconds later you hear... 'ready and ...action...' This is how it is... You need all of these tiny details to get amazing fight scenes. Later after years and years doing it, you start to automatically do many of these, like driving a car..its embedded in your system
*** Crazy thing is at the same time I lost my job, and the dutch stuntteam wanted to beat me up....as they wanted to do the scene, one of the stuntguys even stole my suit to show Jackie he looks better than me and could do it better...
To be honest any movie after Who am I was relatively less pressure, as people know how it is to work with Jackie, thats also why Jackie is a master and his movies are amazing.
If some very honest stuntman would speak out, even people who are in the business long time they even feel pressure, everyone has doubles, thats movie making.
Jackie, hes a master, I would say grandmaster.. and my first real teacher in action movies and the best...Many thanks to him for giving me the opportunity !!!!
*** I fought Scott Adkins himself in Ninja II, 20 years after Who am I ? and it was one of the most smoothest fights I ever did... it was a long take with some important timings and reactions (Dojo scene), Scott is great to fight, people who did can tell that !
You did a great job, Ron.
@@GothamKnight84661 thank you so much, really action movies is my life, I was young I gave all I had. And never gave up, actually amazing things are happening as I always kept going, it was a little bit hard after the documentary my stunts, as I got bashed and it was slightly a twisted version of the story. Mostly the people who bashed me were the action people themselves who secretly wanted to fight Jackie. This business is a very complicated one. If they were in my shoes they would have felt it I can tell.. I couldn't do more it was a lot of pressure. So Yes Andy said it totally perfectly as it really is. And thank you of course... I always say - Life is Action
@@RonSmoorenburg-LIfeisaction I believe in you brother. You are legend in film stunt action industry. Definitely we will work together by God's will
@@aurelienhenryobama5434 Absolutely and I look forward... much love !!!!
@@commonprosperity4all675 Yes it taught me that nothing really good comes easy !!! I still have this idea and concept.. ! Much love Kevin !
Andy himself has nothing but love and respect for his Dàgē. the fact that jackie chan jumped into the water while everyone else stood, watched and hid shows how much he cares about his crew. Regardless of his fortune and fame he risked it all to save Andy; this is an amazing story. Nuch respect Scott for bring Andy on the show, can't wait for Shang Chi now!
Now get an interview with Andy On and Phillip Ng!
I recognise Andy's face but never knew much about him but he is really engaging and the story about how Jackie Chan saved his life is worth the price of admission!
Shang Chi was epic! Also RIP to Brad Allen.
Unfortunately Allen has gone until Scott ever had a chance to contact him. Such a brilliant stuntman. RIP Brad Allen.
Andy Cheng is up there with Cynthia Rothrock with being the most chill guests. Both of them just laughing and giggling and having a great time.
WOW Andy Cheng has been in so many cool movies, he is a legend in his own right
I remember years ago searching for who this guy was because I seen him in rush hour 1 and 2 and found out about all the work he’s done in his career. Andy is the man.
I am so glad that you're asking so much about Jackie in a few videos so greaaaat! Born in 92 but Jackie was already famous in Europe and first movie I saw was Armour of God 2, still one of my favs ever
Scott Adkins is awesome, for doing these wonderful interviews. Everytime I watch, I learn something about these men and women, I respect so much. For me, I grew up watching Martial Arts films and action films, so they mean alot to me, just like the individuals who are a part of it. Andy seems like a really nice guy. He has alot of knowledge, when it comes to Martial Arts, fight choreography and experience in the world of film making.👏👏👏👏👍👍
TERRANCE OUT
The stunt teams are really the unsung heroes in martial arts movies. They are the ones who make the fight scenes dope.
@@LastSifu The stunt humans are Gifted, but the actors/Martial Artists have to be on point. They can't do everything for them.
TERRANCE OUT
T-Virus Terrance Many, maybe even most, of the greats started out as stuntmen: Jackie, Donnie, Sammo, Biao, the owner of this channel, and many more.
@@LastSifu You're right about that, but we have to give props to the actors/Martial Artists as well.
TERRANCE OUT
Terrence surprised to see you here. Guess you're big into Martial arts movies. Scott Adkins would've been a good batman
I recognize Andy Cheng as a prominent member of the JC Stunt Team, and as a world-class Tae Kwon Do athlete. Loved seeing him in a fight scene with Donnie Yen! Great stories from him about working with Jackie Chan and how he visualizes fights and camera framing: how he multi-tasks while shooting scenes! I agree that the less western directors interfere with the his fight sequences the better. Jackie just knows how to do action films! Awesome that Jackie also saved his life at one point! Also happy to know he worked on Into the Badlands and The Rundown! Now I'm so excited that Andy Cheng is actually involved with the Shang Chi Marvel movie!!! Superb episode, Scott!!! I was floored that there was a new one right after the Segal interview, and I'm not complaining!!!
Loved the stories of Andy, showing us insights of how Jackie Chan worked.
Man, I would have loved to have seen an interview with Brad Allan. Tremendous loss - the man was a fantastic martial artist, onscreen fighter, stunt coordinator, fight choreographer, and second-unit director. Amazing. We miss you, dude.
The finale of The art of action is definitely gonna be The man *Jackie Chan*
There is no finale, Scott is going to continue this series forever and ever!
So good to see Scott talk to so many action movie legends...
That story about that 3 day shoot for that scene in Mr Nice Guy is legendary. Thank you for that Andy and Scott.
When i hear the name of jackie chan, I get goosebumps, Big respect to the legend and to cheng...
Love you scott... Keep bringing more...
Your fan from india...
Into the Badlands was mad underrated. They made Nick Frost a believable badass. Just amazing.
They gotta bring the show back. I was so far.
Andy Cheng is a legend, Shang-Chi was awesome. That story at the end was crazy
David Bradley .
Scott do the magic .
Only you can .
As a martial arts fan , it's a humble request .
Thank you .
This is one of best videos to date and that is saying a lot. We get a closer look at the mystical animal called Jackie Chan. And Andy was able to give us an insight to how the great master works.
Like Andy, I was disappointed they cancelled Into The Badland. The story was getting bizarre, but I still love the action sequences. I would have loved to see Scott in the show, but it would have blew up the budget and the series would have ended after one season... hahaha... Scott, "you are a big star"... hahaha...
The last segment on how Jackie saved his life is amazing. It was sad and scary how close we were to losing him. I am surprised there were no divers around the boat to make sure everyone got back out after the shot.
Great interview as always, Mr Adkins!
Don't forget the women:
Michele Yeoh (of course), Yukari Oshima, Michiko Nishiwaki, and maybe Sophia Crawford and Kim Maree Penn.
Sibelle Hu, Cynthia Khan and Moon Lee would be great too, but I've never heard them speak English.
Y'all sleep in jeeja Yanin smh
Don't forget Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee she did afew martial arts action movie like Enter the Eagle.
@@dvechng1688If she wants to?
Doesn't anyone remember the great Angela Mao? Even before her there was Cheng Pei-Pei. Kara Hui? Lily Li?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hope that Scott Adkins interviews a whole lot more i hope he gets Wesley Snipes/Van Damme/Billy Blanks/Don the Dragon Wilson/Bolo Yeung/Jason David Frank/Ted Jan Roberts/Chuck Jeffreys/Chuck Norris/Erine Reyes Jr./Austin St. John/Robert Wall/Karen Shepard/Shannon Lee/Max Elliott Slade/Gary Daniels/Sho Kosugi/Michael Dudikoff/Jackie Chan/Jet Li/Donnie Yen/Sammo Hung/Michelle Yeoh/Robin Shou/Lateef Crowder/Matt Mullins/Jason Scott Lee/Hakim Alston/Taimak and Simon Rhee it would be freaking AWESOME i hope these people are on that freaking incredible list.
Sammo Hung first aka The Greatest.n
@@Grandmastergav86
Why not the great Bob wall?!!
You could throw Bill Wallace in there as well
He got Sho Kosugi’s son on.
@@dennisjr77 i know that but he still hasn't interviewed the original Ninja Warrior.
Now that I finished the episode, that ending story of his stunt on Rush Hour 2 is stuff of legend. What a story to tell the grandkids!
I love that all roads lead back to Jacky & Bruce! Andy well done on Into the Badlands! Love that show due to the action!
Best interview so far. Andy Cheng tells 2 really fantastic stories.
Interesting interview with Andy and fantastic insight in HK style of Jackie ACTION movie.
Jackie choreographed on the spot as well as edit the action in his mind.
Most great action movie does that...even raid director Gareth Evans does the edit on shoot on the spot but with a laptop.
Once again Scott you bring joy to each of our Martial Arts loving hearts!!! This series of amazing guests and interviews is THE best thing!! Thank you mate!! 👍👍❤
I am a huge fan of jackie chan and believe he is one of the finest martial arts actors out of HK. but i am watching 'Art of Action' to learn more about the actors and stunt actors like Andy cheng who I know so little about and rarely get an interview opportunity in the western media. but i am starting to see the conversations more about JC and how good he was.
Just LOVE these episodes. Thanks so much!
Omg ....Jackie saved you wow!!!! Great story 👍🏼goosebumps!!!!!
I absolutely love every single one of these interviews! Please don’t ever stop doing them ☺️🙏
This is my favourite episode yet. What a delightful man!
Holy crap. Jackie Chan spent two days just sleeping and boom, the entire fight scene in Mr. Nice Guy. Amazing.
Thanks Scott for the amazing in-depth content love it much blessings
A great interview with another unsung hero, Scott. Keep them coming!
Wow...thank you Scott for the amazing interview. Andy was giving lots of insights about the Jackie Chan's art of filming and his valuable experience. Lots of real live stories. Awesome👍👍👍
If you could get Dan Inosanto and have him talking about his roles and Bruce Lee, JKD and MMA. That would be great.
HELL YES
Yes...since he is getting on with age. Best insight into JKD and Bruce Lee.
Scott, your videos are history in the making, you bless us with this content
Another great interview! Andy is very appreciative to be where he is in the movie business and it shows. He seems like a very nice guy!
What an incredible episode!!!
that was lovely, thank you Scott!!
Andy Cheng is a legend and a BIG reason for Jackie Chan’s epic and long term impact. Scott is killing this series, love it.
This will be another great one.
You should make a movie together before it's too late! The chemistry is awesome!
Thoroughly delightful interview. Loved it!!
Andy Cheng amazed me on US Seal II ! The very very best wich can be done with a such - low - budget !
Very happy, thanks again, Mister Adkins, to know him better !
Scott, I have tons of you tubers I am subscribed too but your channel is my favorite. I love martial arts and this Channel speaks volumes to my soul. You are doing an excellent job. Keep the content coming because you are giving these guys exposure and your helping the entertainment martial arts genre as well.
Thanks for those incredible insights. Very much appreciated.
Great interview! Didn’t think I’d listen to this one, BUT glad I did. Awesome to hear from a member of the Jackie Chan stunt team! As for who filmed the Shanghai Noon scene at 18:40, that was the film’s director, Tom Dey. He said in the DVD commentary you could tell when he filmed a scene and when Jackie took over. You could tell Jackie took over when the Native Americans caught the tomahawks.
I just watched this whole video and wow what a great experience that he had with Jackie in many movies, and also his story with while working with Jackie is incredible and interesting at the same time, thanks Scott for making this kind of great videos. I am excited about who is next!! (Sorry for bad English)
Not a single dud in this entire series. Even people I've never heard of, like Mr. Cheng here, has provided loads of fascinating information into action filmmaking, behind the scenes, techniques and anecdotes. And I always come away with a movie or two I hadn't seen from the discussions. Thank you for doing this, Scott Adkins good sir. This might be my favorite youtube series, ever.
Absolutely amazing interview Scott. Well Done.
Scott, i LOVE ALL your episodes but with this one your eyes twinkled & you then actually said becase of that conversation you then said you completely understood the process. I completed came to the same realization. It;s your passion for the Martial Arts is the lens we view your show through. GOD Bless Scott.
Another great episode. Thanks Scott for all the great guests you have on your show.
You are a big name now. I guess everybody likes to have a lil chat with you.
Looking forward for the next one.
This series is a delight to watch for any Hong Kong movie fan, thank you so much mister Adkins for providing us with these insightful interviews! I hope that you can interview Billy Chow one day since he's fought pretty much everybody from the Golden era 👍
I always congratulate Scott for how much humility and passion he is showing with these interviews that they are a treasure for us passionate. I think it is a unique format of its kind. The only regret is that he only collaborated with Jackie on The Medallion (which was certainly not a masterpiece).
Jackie Chan is unique.
God damn the stories are amazing. Thx for talking to these unsung heroes of action films
Very good episode. The last bit was quite a story. Reminds me of a time when I almost drowned. Gonna have to check out that flick he was in with the blonde hair. Really liking the content Scott. Been updating the movies I need to see.
Such a good interview
the most inspiring is, to keep the whole team as a family with care and keep the business smooth not only for himself but for everyone to share the joy, sadness, bread, and future. And that's who Jackie has been writing the history with the ink of Gold.
I believe there must be many like these moments have been saved for each other. not only Mong Cha cha but whoever had or has experienced working with Jackie, thanks for sharing the stories, may God always keep watching you over on every portion of your lives.
Love this show. Bill Wallace and Gary Daniels would be a Great addition.
Another great interview, I hanks guys xx
Fantastic Story Thank You!
thank you for another fantastic interview
I remember this guy. He was in Towel Scene in Rush Hour 2.
He's at every fighting scenes. When I see his face, I know that a fight is going to happen... annoying
Only he's appearance in Rush Hour 1 and 2 for each of his fighting scenes.
Really enjoying this series.. thanks.
Happy to see Ernie Reyes Jr get a mention here. Hope he gets a episode as well.
I certainly hope so too, he is a really talented guy.
Amazing martial artist, actor, and gold medalist in TKD
Scott Adkins has the best podcast hands down.
Man, I remember this guy was always in the rush hour movies being the bad guy. Nice to learn more about Andy.
2 interviews in a week? Let's go!
You know...my theory is that Steven Seagal may have been a surprise event for us and Scott himself. Seagal probably returned his call very suddenly and just gave him a very tiny window of opportunity for getting the interview shot. I somehow cannot imagine that it might have been an easy job to organize a deal with him...although he seemed tame in the footage.
As a positive result we got 2 videos in one week.
Yes. I actually got thru the whole Segal interview..
@@Joobkl I was afraid it was going to be an absolute cringefest. Hahaha except for that awkward moment when Scott referred to him as white (I personally don't know Seagal's ethnicity). Thankfully Scott handled it well with that smooth recovery.
It was one of his best shows. I really like. andy was very sincere. It was very nice. I wish you continued success
Thanks for the interview!! So interesting and inspiring ☺️🙏
Did not expect this to be out early. Oh well, I'm enjoying this show. Stay safe good Sir for when you travel to resume filming.
Brilliant!
Man, would've loved to see Adkins in Into the Badlands! Loved that show so much!!
great interview :D this was fun
These interviews are so good. Can't wait to see who you get next. *cough* Ernie Reyes Jr *cough*
Brilliant Episode 👍👍👍
Dam this one was great. Loved listening to these stories. Also hearing Scott mention Dan Southworth was a shock! I'd love to get him on someday too!
Another very interesting interview. I spent a couple of days on the Who Am I set in Rotterdam and remember Andy being there. Also I am agreed with Scott about Into The Badlands, such a great show - me and the wife loved it. Such a shame it was cancelled. :( Still hope they can find a way to bring it back in some form. Warrior is another good show worth seeing if you liked ITB by the way.
Always liked this guy.Andy Cheng.
The Rundown is fantastic.
That guy was so nice and Scott as usual so graceful and a gentleman.
Really amazing Story of Andy i met him in London! Thank you scott.
Thank you Scott enjoyed all your episodes really exciting to hear their storiesand at the same time remembering how great they were and those I dont know their names I have a wbole new respect for them. Looking forward to seeing more of your guests. Hoping to see Michael Dudikoff, Sasha Mitchell, Bolo Yeung and many more I'm sure youha e already tbought of. Thanks and more power.
Love him in U.S. SEALS 2
Damn I wish this was longer! I could easily have listened to another hour of those stories
He needs a lot more subscribers. Have to push this more.
AWESOME
Love Into the Badlands. I wish it was another season. Scott would have been great!
Ready to see some incredible stunts hk style!👍
“I love a bit of violence me” Scott Adkins 2020 😄👌🏼
