RIP Brandon Lee. That was a tough segment for Chad, but thanks for doing it, appreciate it, the martial arts community lost another legend prematurely.
really enjoyed hearing about Brandon as well..
Only in the USA it happens more than one time .
Came back to rewatch this after seeing the buzz around Scott in JW4. Watching, I get a feeling that at that point he had no idea he'd be in it!
agreed!
Scott Adkins is an absolute legend for just doing this brilliant interviews❤ Unlike the big tv and youtube channels that does highly advertised but low quality interviews, Scott Adkins asks proper questions that provide an insight inside the artist's life and work,in addition to giving us a glimpse of another side these artists.
Amazing work and hope he keeps doing it.
Amen 👌🏻
Yeah it’s the difference of a professional interviewer/reporter asking dull, unoriginal….cringey questions. Against a humble professional fighter/stunt guy who is also a huge fan…asking questions you want to know or wouldn’t think to ask. How it should be!
Jesus this is the greatest channel in the world.
The most COMPLETE channel in the world! 😉
And the most complete man in the world Scott.....
Jesus effing Quintana...that dude can bowl, man.
Hermann Bloessner haha
Agreed!
Thanks to Scott for asking about Brandon Lee... I didn't know Chad had so much experience with him, and it was great to hear his perspective.
Scott for John Wick 4
or 5
Both
He should become the protagonist! James Wycke
Chad is the best action director right now the John Wick movies are awesome.
If they used Dacascos as bad guy Scott would make an awesome one too
I love how a lot of his start is such an ecclectic mix of being in the right place at the right time, knowing the right people and then just working hard and being hungry to learn.
Right time period definitely helped too.
It's amazing to see Scott speak so passionately about The Matrix, Keanu, etc ... that's why he's so great, because he's humble and he's still a fan. he is one of us.
I think the same....
E Gringo is enough proof that Scott Adkins can and should appear in a future John Wick film.
Or Savage dog
@@danijelamajic4231 anything particular about it?
To me hole movie us very good....
The finale of Universal Soldier 4 as well as some of the gun-fu in Close Range (with some members of 87eleven action team members) are also proof.
AVENGEMENT IS ALSO A PERFECT ACTION MOVIE.
This is the best and most revealing Chad Stahelski interview out there. Huge props for making it possible, Scott!
This series is incredible. Scott is incredible, what a blessing he is to this world. I am grateful.
agreed...
Thank you Scott for this GODSOME video series. In time please plan to work with Jason David Frank, plus interview,
Couldn't have say it better. 👏👏👏
Absolutely.
I loved Chad before watching this, but now I love him 100% more.
He's great
Same here
So you actually watched BloodSport 2 and 3, many moons ago ???????
I'm a big fan of Scott's movies. He is definitely one of the best on screen to do it today ! I want to see a JCVD interview and also Wesley Snipes interview.
I was watching this to hear his story about brandon lee. And I want to give kudos to chad stahelski for helping to finish the movie. It was a great movie and brandon lee would be proud of it (RIP)
Chad stahelski is legend only few who became famous director from stuntman
@@Jim..777 jackie chan?
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic hello Anton, Jackie chan is an actor and a stuntman at the same time, and also a director although not famous director I think , but you have a point
a lot of people don't know Dan Insanto and the tribute John Wick is to all martial arts and Bruce Lee
Δημητρης Τσακωνας a lot of Hong Kong action directors were choregraphers first or came in doing did both at once
David Leithch as well.
Wow!!!!! Blown away! What an interview. Amazing. Training with Brando Lee. The Crow made him a star in his own right. We salute you for all your hard work and passions.
Scott, all you need to do is make a movie with Chad Stahelski and a big promotion, so you will have a box office above 100 million and finally get the fame you deserve, the mainstream
EXACTLY!
Let him be the new Highlander.
@@maxpayne232 That is an amazing idea.
@@maxpayne232 Agree. Scott will kill that role. I hope it happens
Wow, I did not know much about this guy, but through these interviews I got to learn so much about his influence. Looking forward to it.
@vervideos yt nice...
I think nobody know him for the most part unfortunately 😅
He should played Batman😓
Scott! You NEED to get a role in John Wick 4! That would be amazing.
Guess what?😅
I'm sure it would be a "Killah" performance.
I'll see myself out 😂
It would be great Mr. Adkins vs Keanu Reeves in John Wick! 💞
Indeed it will, not a bad idea love
Hopefully chapter 4 will have that.
Yeeees!! Yes yes YES. Totally agree. It would be EPIC🤩
It would be wonderful to see Dan Inosanto in John Wick...he played a role in Red Belt
@@pocketchange6010 Didn't know about that! I've just remembered that I watched this movie at theater. By the way, Rodrigo Santoro and Alice Braga were in the cast. They're from my country.
Chad really made his mark and is confident enough to defend his ideas, can't wait to see what he'll come up with next.
Sure hope he and Scott will team up for a movie.
They did
:)
Scott Adkins needs a tv show or a full on web series with real production for these. Scott you are great at these interviews and you do a great job letting them speak but keeping it flowing at the same time. This is GREAT stuff!!
Thanks for talking about Brandon Chad, We enjoyed hearing more about his character!
Outstanding interview.
Never seen Chad talk about his work before.
For someone to start as a stuntman, learn his craft the hard way and then transition into one of the most exciting Directors at present is incredibly inspiring.
Looking forward to John Wick 4 - like everyone else. 👍
One of the things I loved about this video is when we see Scott standing still and paying close attention to what Chad is talking about.
You can see his eyes sparkle!
Chad is doing a lot for the action film industry, here we can see the things he had to fight to change and prove.
Was only a matter of time. Can't wait to watch this episode.
Scott, thank you. These interviews make me feel more appreciative about the movies I love to watch.
Chad fucking ascended to the pantheon with John Wick 4. Up there with Bay and Cameron as a Hollywood action director. You can see the work he has put in and the breadth of his influences onscreen.
In these depressing times, it's refreshing to have a channel with segments like this. 😀👍
Now this is how u run a channel! None stop bangers. I do appreciate and love your tutorials also, please keep them coming. Kinda redundant to say but its so true This is the most complete Channel.
This discussion was a much appreciated window into Chad's mind. Thank you _so_ much for setting this up and giving him the space to elaborate with his answers, Scott!
I live in the Greek countryside and I've already made plans to go see John Wick 4 at one of the best cinemas in Athens, 4hrs away 🤩
Great episode. Chad shares so much interesting information. A super knowledgeable guy in all aspects of filmmaking.
Thank you Chad and Scott. 🙏🏻
One of Chad's early and memorable role was Brandon's body double in The Crow along w Jeff Cadiente.. I love the John Wick franchise so keep making it great my friend ;)
CHAD is the best!!! He doubles for Keanu!!! He's fantastic!!! Greatest respect for him!! Stay Blessed Chad !!!✝️🙏💜🕊
Scott Adkins have you been in journalism school? Like every interview you do, questions and all are spot on. Amazing again. 👍👍👍 👊
Brandon would be proud of you chad of the crow u finish I love the movie. It is incredible movie and you did amazingly job chad God bless.
these guys really needs to collaborate for a movie, they will definitely create something dynamite!. or at least Scott needs to be on John Wick 4, imagine a fight between him and Keanu
That's why living in California is a blessing. Every MARTIAL ART is brought their to be advertised on it'sgreatness.
Wow. What an interview. Great audition by the way Scott. Your in. 😂 Learnt alot watching this. Chad is both underrated & amazing.
This is BY FAR my favorite YT series of interviews I've watched this Summer. Especially this one with Chad. You can tell he's totally passionate about his craft and takes no shit to be able to keep his vision. Can't wait to see what he will do with Wick 4 & 5. Scott I hope you keep doing this serie for a long time to come. 👍😃
Thank you for asking Chad about Brandon Lee. Having those questions come from you instead of a random journalist made it more authentic.
Really great interview, almost came to tears myself when they talked about Brandon Lee. He should direct a new Crow movie, different story of the Crow, anyone can become the crow in the comics.
Beautiful interview, man. That part where Chad teared up talking about Brandon was genuinely moving. He also provided some great insights into the making of the JW franchise, and your questions were spot on.
If I may, I'd like to propose some other great action directors for future episodes: Christopher McQuarrie, David Leitch, Sam Hargrave, and the one and only Jackie Chan.
OMG, you got Stahelski on here?!!! This is my new favorite show EVER!!!!
This phenomenal discussion, combined with the cinematography I just witnessed in John Wick 4, has me excited for whatever this dude does next.
Even if his next movie has zero action in it, I'm gonna be pumped (but also disappointed cuz I love a good fight scene).
Please get Donnie yen on that would be crazy
They did hehe
@@germankenway hehe
@@HamzaPerkins hehe
Nah that would have never happen with Donnie yen and Scott Atkins in jw4
Looking forward to see Scott at Corridor Digital
Sat through this twice... it's practically a masterclass in itself (in an 'actors guild' stylee).
2 years on Chad remembered to reach out as per the final promise in his last moments in interview; hope to see your performance soon Scott (Your character in the trailer seems DeNiro-esque ala latter stage Raging Bull... deliberate nod maybe?)
P.s. I think you should suggest Michael Wincott (The Crow) to Chad as a potential bad guy in Wick 5.
Brilliant interview. Thanks for sharing guys!
What a episode. what a guy carn't wait for jw 4 .well done scott for another brilliant episode 👊🏻👊🏻
Another fantastic interview Scott- great behind the scenes details about john wick 3! I had no clue some/most of the glass was CG... Great to see (or not see!) digital effects being used so well. Fascinating to listen to Chad talk about his career.
You missed Equilibrium! That was a decent Christian Bale movie with Gun-Fu!
That wasn't decent. It was Excellent, Fantabulous, mind blowing movie!!!!
Yer, Straight away I thought of what Kurt Wimmer called Gun Kata, So it's gone by a few names.
The movie has too many scene cuts during its action scenes. I guess they could not make it look good without it.
the technique was used in Equilibrium was "Gun-kata". it was created by the director Kurt Wimmer himself, apparently he came with this idea when he was experimenting different techniques in his backyard. obviously he was inspired by matrix
Haha its a shame equilibrium underrated behind the heels of matrix success
I love the wipes timed to the ads. Excellent editing.
John Wick 4 - Scott Adkins as the high table English repsentative, JCVD as a European representative, Sammo, Chan, Chow or Yen as the Chinese high table rep.
Chad has valid points for up and coming Directors. A STORY/LINE IS A MOVEMENT, A Story moves. Writing a Script is easy, reading lines is easy. Putting that Action Story so to speak in 'action' and 'make-believable' to the audience is the key for the Actors, Directors, SOUNDTEAM and the Editors combined to make the story. A action scene edits are first approved by the ACTOR then the Editor. The Director is like all the above, they want the actor is a certain position/s, they control the CAMTEAM and verify the edits, themes....etc.
Chad's rant on modern action take is very true.. I'm glad directors like him are changing the game.
Such an awesome conversation! Thank you, Scott, for bringing us this channel!
Brilliant interview. I love that you've decided to do these and all of them have been excellent so far. Please keep it up! Love it!
Binge watching all of these. I am so surprised by the names I am starting to recognize. What an incredible craft. Much respect!!!!
He is currently one of the best action film directors. I want him to make more movies.
This is nothing less than superb. Engaging, personal and dense-pack informative stuff I’ve seen nowhere else. Thanks so much for this.
I'm amazed that this particular interview isn't more popular.
This is a damn good series.
Just watching these interviews makes me want to get back in shape.
Loved this video! It's really fascinating to hear two action icons chat about action movies so passionately. Thank you for doing this Scott & Chad.
This is the best Martial arts channel. Great interviews. Been watching it for days now. Really great to hear from the Martial artist movie legends of the 80s and 90s. Great work Scott Adkins. 👍👍👍💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Just another great interview! I appreciated Chad’s honesty about filmmaking, especially how he called out directors for looking down on directing action. Had to pause and reflect when he said that if he could learn about directing, they in turn could learn about action choreography, which quite honestly is the basis for these multimillion dollar movies. I appreciated how Chad has to work around the weaknesses of an actor and how preparation, whether it’s camera angles or actor training, saves money in the end. Man, such an amazing director!
What a great interview! Thank you Scott Adkins!
i wish scott to be in a lot more great movies
This is better than any film school! Thanks Scott 💪🏼
I've never learned so much from an interview. I've seen all the director's Masterclasses and I haven't learned that much from them. Thanks for this, Scott!
In an alternate world, i wish Brandon Lee as John Wick.
I love this series. It's cool and interesting and gives me such a better understanding of what goes into making martial arts action sequences. Really great, thank you for putting this series together. As a huge fan of martial arts and action I'm grateful for this.
Gives a lot of motivation and inspiration. Thank you guys for this.
Scott always ruining my sleep. Premiers midnight
im saved , it premieres on 9.00 PM from my timezone
But it’s worth the loss sleep lol. I don’t know what it is but all these interviews are so engaging.
Amazing!! Love all the insight! Thanks Scott, these are true gems!
Thank you Scott like all the interviews this it's a great one...
Outstanding Interview! What an amazing series.
Two legends in one video
Aqui ready siguiendote from CHILE Scott 🇨🇱👌
Great hearing about Brandon Lee. I've seen and heard hundreds of podcasts and videos where Brandon could/should be mentioned and he's just rarely brought up. More people besides the hardcore fans should be talking about him and keeping his memory alive.
Hi Scott Adkins😊 I'm from Central Asia. You're the best of the best actor and fighter in the world👍🏻🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love u scott adkins from nepal
Scott Adkins
, With love to you from Ukraine. All my friends and acquaintances adore you and your films. I myself like to watch them a thousand times. Thank you for being.
Scott is so humble considering he basically surpassed most of the guys he interviews in martial arts. First and foremost he was a fighter, then started acting in a TV drama and humbly moved up the acting ranks through his pure acting talent to finally get into the field of martial arts acting. He may be no Keanu but even Keanu would agree he is the best in the business. Easily has surpassed van damm by now in my opinion
This is such a phenomenal interview, Scott! So packed with insight and it’s clear why Chad’s work is so good. Thanks so much!
I was so surprised when I saw Chad Stahelski when he was stunt double of Brandon Lee on the Crow
One day you are doubling Keanu, years later day you're directing him. Amazing...
Chad needs to pick up Scott, he deserves to be in a AAA film.
Highlander baby lets go. Scott for that lead
The fact keanu reeves gave him chance to direct the movie is crazy despite everyone going against his decision
@@lordoffaiyum9727Henry Cavill is in that
Jon wik and Adkins wow 💥💥💥
It's official...Scott Adkins in the will be in the new John Wick ^^.
Great video, keep them coming. I heard you on a podcast and glad you did your own thing. Huge martial arts fan and practitioner, I have loved this series of videos, and this was probably the best one
Hello Scott Adkins 🤩☺️👍👍I'm from Central Asia 👍☺️🙃You are the best 🤩😍I'm your fan 😊🤩🤩👍👏👏👏
Great interview, now I'm waiting for every friday and new episode, great job Scott! :D
Absolutely siiiiiick interview. Keep doin what ya do my man
This was a brilliant segment and extremely educational.
Can't wait
This is the most Complete channel in the world!😎
Dude, i just subbed in a heart beat!! I love this series
Excellent! I love Chad's passion for PROPER action filming! I hope this opens the door for Scott to be in more big budget films. He deserves it. I hope to see Donnie, Jet , Jackie, Sammo, JCVD, Cynthia Rothrock, Bolo Yeung, James Lew, Simon and Philip Rhee and many more on this series 🙏🏽. I just want to go on record saying, can't believe I'm seeing this, for years I've wanted these two men I'm currently watching in this interview, to team up! This pairing has the potential for some of the best action this world has ever seen and I think it is crime that this has yet to happen. Why are so many things in this world that are just plain common sensical just so hard to put together. Someone answer my prayers.
love u scott adkins from nepal .love u scott adkins from nepal love u scott adkins from nepal .love u scott adkins from nepal
Fantastic.. Was waiting for this one..!! Thank you Scott.
