Scott Adkins : real life Batman.
MJW : real life Black Panther
Or Blade
Or Michael Jai White as John Stewart
@@isaacyeon6334
Weasley did a great job playing Blade imho
@sickboy idk why Scott Adkins hasn’t been casted as Batman smh
Real life Spawn
Michael is a strong martial artist. Highly underrated. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
True Bruh!!!
MJW is so big that people think he only knows about Brute Force. But from his interviews, you can tell that he knows alot about "traditional martial arts".
He was Mike tyson n as spawn in 90s
Only martial art artists recognize him
for real man! Blood and Bone was an awesome action movie, it showed MJW martial arts prowess to the maximum.
I love seeing these 2 brothers talking that's history right there 😉👍
Agree....2 of the best in the world true masters they both are 💯👊👊👊👊
Yes..very good
True! Michael...Scott ..and Donnie yen my 3 favorite martial artist of today!
Two absolute legends in martial arts cinema.
I like the way they pay respect to Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, acknowledging their seniority and Realness. Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee will always be there as inspiring personalities
He really respect both of them in fact he even visited bruce lee grave and stated that nobody could replace Ali
I fully agree with MJW. Avengement is my favorite Scott Adkins movie. His character in that movie was soo badass
That was an amazing movie with the great Scott. But my fav is undisputed 3. Boyka is the ultimate badass
Nothings got nothing over BOYKA
@@deathclutch8681 Totally agree
I like accident man myself
but avengement was good and brutal.
Of course mjw wasn't going to say his favorite Scott Adkins movie was Boyka LMFAO which was not only my favorite Scott Adkins movie but was probably a top Contender for greatest martial arts movie ever made the sideways cartwheel kick that put the dude through the ropes in the beginning of the movie was probably the best
Damn, there needs to be a second part. This was Scott's best one. MJW is such a great person and martial artists like Scott. They seem to be great friends.
I loved Michael since his spawn days. He is highly underrated.
Me as well.I remember when he played "Tyson" back in the day!!!! He's been doing this a long time and in my opinion getting better every movie.
Oh yes
'underrated'....the word that rules youtube comments sections...look up ANYTHING
Scott Adkins is a personal hero of this era to me. Just like JCVD had been back in the days. Training has become fun to me thanks to this guy.
SCOTT..is way down to earth man...and he is really patient in interviewing every other person. I have watched all of his videos interviewing his fellow martial artists, seniors....and he was always humble, patient and good listener. APPRECIATE IT.
Amen to that
Scott would be great in a reboot of roadhouse
He's awesome. Massive respect to Scott for this series, every episode shows total respect from interviewer to interviewee. Great stuff!
Scott is one hell of a fighter and a real gentleman for sure
Undesputed 2,3,and 4 when scott is boya, man what a awsome fighter he was
Michael has such a strong sense of storytelling. The way we talks about how fight scenes and the narrative behind them, he sounds like a film studies professor.
These are probably my two favorite fighting movie stars of all time. Really hope they work together again in the future. Both of these guys are two of the most underrated stars too
I’m a die hard fan of Scott Adkins and Michael jail white. I love everything that they’re in. There both bad ass marshal artists. And they’re my favorites.
That's me too. These are my two favorite actors.
Me too ..but how scott got 2 movies out in 2020 where his child gets kidnapped and he's forced to work for someone lol
@@romeomontague2309 im too.
Marshal lol 😂
Most importantly they both are great human beings. Respectful, humble and down to earth. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Scott would most definitely be a good Batman
I can see Adkins as Hunter in a Spider-Man movie or as the new Wolverine
Well, he really good played as deadpool so he definitely killing that batman role
@@sanjikun39 he never played Deadpool tho
Google it dude. he's the stunt man for ryan reynolds when the deadpool suits on. Didn't you recognized the way deadpool moves on the movie and scott adkins move?
He would be a good batman for the fight scenes but I don't think he would be great as Bruce Wayne or even batman outside of the fighting. The reason why is because scott usually plays a definite good guy or bad guy with the exception of boyka and batman is a complex character that is good guy who doesn't always do good things and often crosses the line between good and bad. I'm not saying that Scott can't get there but I have not seen enough dialogue in films from him to suggest this. But all for seeing it.
MJW is absolutely brilliant in addition to being exceedingly physically gifted. A living legend.
Damn!I had the intense goosebumps all over my neck when these two guys met.Boyka and Chambers face to face.
Scott,if you could read this.please make Undisputed 5 together with Mike again.😖🙏
I had goosebumps too. It was amazing watching these guys.
He isn't making it
Scott Atkins seems like such a lovely man. I hope his is happy and fulfilled in his life. He has such a great work ethic as well. So many actors find success despite being lazy jerks.
You've obviously never made a movie if you think that it's easy for any actor. I think you just don't have the emotional maturity to say you like something without simultaneously shitting on something else. That's weak.
My brother met him at a comic con
Adkins
I would love to watch an interview with Jet Li or Jackie Chan 🔥🔥
Different level. Those guys are higher caliber.
@@paulpolpiboon9535 also, i think it's easier for Mr. Adkins to get a hold on the people he have worked with before and are closer to him. Nor sure if Jackie Chan or Jet Li would be available for this kind of interviews but I do think he can get a hold on Donnie Yen.
JACKIE CHAN !! DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTT !!!
Bro scott will have to go thru their PR teams to get an appointment. These guys are high Hollywood profiles.
this crowd doesn't have any respect for guys like Chan or Li
I could watch these two talking all day long, because as well as being such great martial-artists, they also seem like really decent and down-to-earth guys. Plus, they're also very good actors and you can sense the great passion they both have for their art.
Actually this is cool . . . watching two fellow action stars (who have worked together) talking about the side of films that we don't get to see. Respect to them both.
Scott Adkins seems more friendly in real life than in the movies.
@Nemo I'd see him more as Deathstroke, especially with his fighting style, anyway he would work great for both of those characters
Yup it's true and MJW in real life is a arrogant and ignorant person who likes to insult other Martial Artist and literally swears he can beat everyone and that no one can beat him. MJW may be a very good Martial Artist but I personally have no respect for him because of his personality.
It's not hard to be more friendlier than Boyka 😂.
More friendly than Boyka? :D
Proves what a great actor he is in the movies
Jean-Claude Van Damme could also be a good next person to interview.
Yes right
Loris really
UP
@A H Kind of a passing of the baton then in a way, with Jean Claude having been pretty much introduced himself by Chuck Norris
Jason Statham next pls
I met Scott a couple of years ago in the middle of a city at Christmas as I was working security and honestly he looks amazing in real life probably the most star struck I've ever been
This Michael Jay white is full of wisdom.,strong bold and a badass fighter
Both these guys are incredible beasts and the real deal.
@Scott Adkins,Jason Statham should be the next person who would appear in Art of Action
I don't think Jason Statham would take part of this.
Jason Statham is not a martial Artist he's a Hollywood made star.
I think Jetli or Wesley Snipes would be a nice chat next
Scott adkins, tony jaa, Mickaël jai white, Jason Statham, Bruce Lee, Jackie chan, Donnie yen, jean Claude Vandamme it's a best
Jean Claude Van Damme would be good
This video captures the humility and respect every action warrior shows towards their peers and foe. Thanks Scott
Probably won't get steven seagal on there then😂
@@andymc96 😅. He's a good action star too. But that's up to Scott, right?
@@andymc96 I think he's pretty humble and non-violent - just perceived as sly.
@@dheeraj3945 not really the guy is a crap he disrespected mjw,jcvd even scott adkins. He is very proud of his martial arts but can't even control his weight
@@Jupiter.141 We all have our opinions, I don't need yours. Keep them to yourself
Im in my 50s, been a fan of many many HK action movies back in the days and more. That time VHS tapes was the thing. Watching lots of stars acting those martial arts moves makes me entirely at awe. You both are extremly talented and still enjoying you guys still active is one of the best feeling to have. Respect from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Why they haven’t consider casting Scott as Batman/Bruce, I will never understand. I’ve always thought he’d suit the character. He has it all. The looks, the fighting/stunt skills, and sure. Maybe his acting can be better, but I think he can pull it off as Bruce Wayne/Batman. You don’t always have to resort to an Oscar-winning actor because look at Marvel. They have/had actors who weren’t even Oscar winners in the first place. We never know until a chance is given.
I’ve honestly thought the same thing because Scott Adkins would be perfect to play Batman because of his martial arts background. But that being said, he’s acting abilities art are at least subpar. I’m not saying that I’m a better actor than he is because I would not consider myself an actor but I can tell that his acting skills are not that high. It seems that most actors can’t or don’t know how to fight and most martial artist aren’t great actors. That’s what makes Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others stand out a bit more because of the training background they had. The school they went to had drama, acrobatics and martial arts all mixed together.
I wanna see Michael jai white as blade
Yeah Scott Atkins is under rated. He could be batman or a marvel character. He does have it all.
@@CHMPro he was in doctor strange
Scott's a good actor
MJW is eloquent and full of wisdom. Tbh, I can’t think of a better interview I’ve watched in recent years. Such a compelling watch.
Your right exellent
I always regarded Michael Jai White as the Mike Tyson of karate. He's one of those guys I'd truly fear fighting to the death. He's just so talented and powerful.
@achillies25 if you listen to his styles he's going to be in a ring a f****** octagon probably the tournament that you have no idea what it is because you have no idea martial arts work
How about James Earl Jones of Karate?
Too many beast in Kyokushin much better n higher than him. And it doesn't care who u are.
@achillies25 but you credit Bruce lee how many of his fights have you seen and to act like ring or MMA mean shit MMA amateur martial arts that's why you're not allowed to knee your opponent head while he's on the ground like in pride or elbow rules man stop it never even wrapped your hands
@D Sam no buddy and let me guess you got a speech ready for how well trained you are yeah no is my anwser exactly to you as well cheers
Blood and bone, what a weapon mike is in that. Solid.
Such a badass movie
I love how Michael White show his knowledge of all types of movies.He doesn’t just talk action he brings up Indiana Jones,even Fred Astaire.Brilliant man.Hes so respectful.Such a friendly guy in the interview but he is a force.Hes a badass that happens to be a great actor too.
Scott is really respectful guy. Michael as well. May God bless both of you guys.
The passion from MJW is amazing. His eyes light up when talking about martial arts in movies
Scott and Mike. Two of the most underrated action stars who deserve way more than they got.
Scott Adkins, Michael j white, Donnie yen and Jackie Chan are just an inspiration to me. They made me love martial arts. I have done karate and wingchun kung-fu. 💯
9 dislikes?! 9 people asking for spin kicks to the chin!
What a phenomenal duo. Love this series so far. Thank you Scott and MJW. Please keep making amazing movies!
233 after 2 years, dumb people
These interviews are fantastic. Pure gold to every martial arts movie fan!Scott Adkins is doing a great job as an interviewer. Very respectful, a lot of humor and it's, of course, very clear that he knows what he's talking about.
Absolutely brilliant 👍🏻😎❣
Would be awesome to get a interview with Wesley Snipes
I want to see Michael in a movie with Scott again. I also want to see them bring back tamik from the last dragon.
They should do a Bloodmoon reboot with Scott Adkins/Michael Jai White based on the 1997 martial arts movie that started Gary Daniels/Chuck Jeffreys
I think they did with mike bisping (they all played villian) in one of the Tony Jaa's movies (Triple Threat) :)
Two the best Martial Artist's on The World right now. Greetings from Poland
Greetings too
And Donnie Yen!
Bruce lee: Am I'm a joke to you?
@@justsomeguywithoutamustach8969 Bruce Lee will never be a joke for anyone. He is greater than all of them and he is a legend.....
They're actors dude. They would beat the average joe on the street but they are far from the "best"
The Avengement was extremely awesome!! Every body who hasn’t seen it, watch it ! 🔥💯💪🏼
Part 2 would be mad
I will check that out.
Yeah true points there mate
True Martial Artist's of this era, Dynamic Duo.. This interview was EPIC; Second to None...
This is a dream come true see two of the best martial artists ever talking.
Bring Wesley Snipes next. It would be amazing to hear from him too.
Yeah, so Mr. Snipes can talk about his experience with the Martial Arts and some of his upcoming movies.😀😎👍
@Steven Jones shut the crap up with insults
@@jonesfredrick94 exactly 👍🏾👍🏾
He isn't a martial artist.
@@markperry472 are you crazy.
I agree. Bruce Lee & Chuck Norris in the Way of the Dragon is got to be the best fight scene of all time. Absolutely brilliant cinematography. Loving this Art of Action and Scotty!!
I also like the fight between Beny and Jackie ☝🏼
Egotistic Gorgon I think their fights on wheels on meals pays homage to that fight scene
That fight actually looks real
Imagine if Bruce Lee was still around, would we have gotten an interview.
Oh mate if only, I would of loved that.
Bruce Lee would have been proud as fuck if he was able to witness Michael's and Scott's movies.
He would of of been Episode 1
@@kaljiste And Tony Jaa
Brandon Lee would have been... smh
32:00-32:30.
Mad respect to Michael Jai White for fighting for that facet of the movie.
Not only did it make the fighting far more dynamic and provided bigger stakes, but it made the transition of Undisputed from a boxing movie to a martial arts franchise much more cohesive
Oh man i can't wait to see this. Love both these action stars. I rewatch their movies.
Met MJW in New York few years back. Was star struck. Been watching that dude since the 90s. Lol. He was too cool!!! He was one of my favorite celebrities to meet. Much respect to him and Scott💪🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
The two living legends. Mr. Adkins is one of the best interviewers out there....You 200% worthy of Batman role, Sir!
Mr. Michael J White, you are my inspiration Sir. With such huge muscle how you fly with those outstanding kicking forms???.. WOWWW
These two need to do more movies together. Plain and simple. Both are absolute legends.
yes!
@@florian-k the movie Triple Threat
Billy Blanks ,Gary Daniels, Don the dragon Wilson, Matchias Hues,
Scott Atkins would make a good Bruce Wayne
Mjw would be better
And an even better Batman
He looks just like bruce wayne
Mad respect to these guys. The discipline in martial arts is beyond logic. Always put to the test. Hopefully Jason Statham could get an interview... 😅
Eddie Ndegwa really I hope Scott Adkins gets Jason Stathama on the podcast.
Yes I agreed. I want to hear about how Jason Statham got started.
It's crazy how far MJW range of acting is. Going from Tyler Perry to kicking Nick Jones ass in never back down.
Always thought it was cool that Michael Jai white does such a wide range of genres. He’s really great.
MJW is soooooo underrated....him and Scott Adkins are one of the greatest martial artist for action movies of their generation.
This interview turn out to be really interesting going somewhere I did not expect. There was no bloating about the fact these guys are amazing athletes, but instead, we got an insight on how a fight scene should be shot and edited for making a good action movie.
Lo que realmente valoro de las entrevistas de Adkins es que siempre está relajado cuando habla, es muy bueno escuchando, es humilde y respetuoso de la persona que entrevista y además hace preguntas sencillas y a la vez interesantes...👌👌👏👏👏
Si exactamente! Muy buen persona Scott Adkins.
This was probably the best episode so far, Jai White is such an incredibly talented martial artists, with so much knowledge, experience and eloquence, love the way he talks about his films and life events, absolute mad lad ! You two need to fight in the same film again, UNDISPUTED 5 ! #ChambersvsBoyka #REMATCH
Wtf? Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White.
.fricking epic!!!
Michael is one of the finest actor. His stunts are too good. Great body too. Thank you Mr Scott for doing this.. Appreciate your efforts
Totally agree
This interview is GOLDEN. This was more than an interview, this was a martial arts and life lesson.
Awesome breakdown on how to film action scenes and character development too.
I'm looking forward for Keanu Reeves and his story.
I hope that happens
Two more months of lockdown and MJW will turn into real Black Dynamite!!!! Perfect Afro!!!!
"SOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so wholesome I knew these guys had a genuine respect and Appreciation for each other😂 no wonder why they’d always end up together in movies
You can tell they get along, nice
More of an interresting dialogue between 2 friends, it is much better than an average interview.
Thank you Scott, and thank you Michael for doing this! As a film fan, it's so fun to watch a couple of top-tier action filmmakers reminisce about movie moments where we can see that you both cherish as much as we viewers do. The depth of the stories is fascinating, and the humor gave me genuine LOLs. Thank you both for bringing some fun and levity during these crazy times. Keep up the great online content, and the cutting edge entertainment in your films.
Im also a die hard fan of both of these incredible Martial Arts actors. They do amazing work together. and they should continue to work together.
I love this UA-cam series. Please keep these going! There are so many underrated martial artists, stuntmen, directors. So many that the current generation hasn’t had enough exposure to. This show is a goldmine!
Two legends in this era.
Would be cool to see Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan on future episodes because those four are the best.
Second only to Bruce Lee though. Can't wait to see more Art of Action Episodes.
OHHH. Id love to see interview with Donnie Yen
I'm just smiling away watching these guys talk - loving this series :-)
The most complete UA-cam channel in the world!
I’m a HUGE fan of both of these guys. I wish I could have found this video sooner.
These 2 are awesome. Loved them in Undisputed and triple threat and i hope they do more films together.
These 2 are so humble and down to earth and a real joy to listen to.
Triple threat is so underrated
michael jai white should be the "black panther" who agree
well, all he has to do is kill t'challa in the next royal battle. "cough" (too bad killmonger burned all heart shaped herb)
Nah black panther have to act real good in terms of acting Chadwick boseman is perfect
Bruh hes too thicc for that suit
Nah Chadwick is perfect for the role
Dofo
MJW....Blood and Bone.. My all time favorite!!!
One of the BEST! Michael Jai White ... just emanates power in his roots ... I loved Spawn, but was hoping it would do so much more for him! I still watch every one of his movies, just to watch him in action!
Next Jcvd, Doonie Yen, Iko Uwais, Jet Li
Don't forget Steven Seagal :D
Iko tony micheal are the goats
@@KainEnigma Yeah right 😂😂
Donnie yet
@@KainEnigma Seagal? Oh, please not this egoistic idiot ...
I first took notice of MJW in Spawn and Universal soldier, and Scott Atkins in special forces. You guys are both amazing action superstars with real martial arts background, mad respect to you both. In regards to the new Mortal Kombat movie coming out in April as a major blockbuster, I would have love to see Michael Jai White as JaX and Scott Atkins playing Raiden or Johnny cage. Man I wish that was so.
Michael Jai White understands storytelling and hearing him explain it is a pleasure
Michael really really loves Scott!!!! Looking forward to the next collaboration, ACTION FILM DYNAMITE!!!!!
Confession time: I legit thought MJW was a drama actor who moonlit as an action guy. Realising he was the genuine article was a surprise that I quickly forgot. Immensely talented action star, some really enjoyable films. I love the fight scene in Accident Man with Scott, MJW and the amazing Ray Parks.
YES! I was hoping MJW would be next! Just watched him in Dragged Across Concrete, not an action performance but a great acting one in limited screentime.
I love both of these men, such talented and underrated actors and fighters! So knowledgeable and humble :)
That was one of the best interviews I've ever watched. So glad I subbed a while back, love this channel.
Both are legends in martial arts ❤️
Two present G.O.A.T.'s together. You guys inspire me, motivate me. Just yesterday i was watching undisputed 4 and trust me its 5th or 6th times till now. And all the other parts i watched more then 10 times each. I love you guys. May you guys live strong and healthy. 💞💕
Loving these stories explained by these two stars. Such humble men.
These two martial artists are absolute legends, watching these two are the whole reason I started training in martial arts. Idols.
I'm loving these interviews
You two definitely belong in the a-class of actors in hollywood. There is almost no one this time, with your abilities and charisma
MJWs view of Martial Arts and traditional Martial Arts is so genuine. I totally agree with it 100%. As a martial artist for years and years, this is an exceptional summary of what we do and why we do it. Not everything is for the "cage", but eventually everything adds to it.
2 of my absolute favorite martial artist
I am a french. I don't understand everything but i still watching cause i like the energy who emerge from this video 🔥🔥🔥
U made my day mate
@@tezooalexander5165 for next time, do your day yourself 😉xD
Yes! Been waiting for this. Thank you Scott for this series of videos.
Man this is probably the best down to earth interviews with MJW I've seen on UA-cam. Shows his passion for martial arts and for performing arts in movies. Thank you!!
I absolutely love this show! And every one of these guys on the show i have seen in my childhood. See these guys just hits me in the heart because of how much I love them. And how they drove me to make the decisions in my life that I made. So great. Thank you for making this show! Much love. These people need to have a bigger fan base. They all deserve so much more. Thank you Michael for all the movies you have made. I have seen them all yes even the toxic avenger. And no one I know knew about that movie. Wow. So amazing. . Thank you as well Scott
