It’s really a shame that Kane Kosugi never really never made it too big in the US. He’s got the English fluency and acting skill to carry his own action films. Also, very interesting note about Korean punches involving a swing of the opposite arm. Not to mention that bit about the rationalization for choreographing fight scenes on set in order to bring out a more raw and instinctive movement from the performers…
I mean he's American so I'm not too surprised about the English fluency. Anyways as you said it is a shame that he has never made it into the celebrity status in USA.
@@FilmFightFanatic No, i thought that you watched it, but forgot, because I have met a lot of dudes like that. If you do not forget, that's a good thing 😏😏😏😏
4:26 i love how he's like, "i watched fighting games and maybe these combos are able to be done by humans, but maybe i can modify it" and eric has tons of IRL fighting game moveset videos ^_^ it's just coming full circle
I didn't know he was in Ninja 2. I have to rewatch it now. His dad's an absolute legend and honestly I loved him too. Kane was so cool in Pray for Death. Made me think if he can do it, so can I. I wish he was cast more. I'd love to support him more.
Nice that Kane mentioned about SASUKE at 1:10:55 Also as a tokusatsu fan it was nice to listen to all the things he was talking about Kakuranger and his other toku projects
Kane was trained to be a martial actor since young,,, He has beautiful moves for every actions he takes from my observation by the way. I really follow all his films Thank you for the interview. love the details story about him
24:50 my only exposure to Japanese break dancing is videos from Akibaccano dance competitions, but from that they seem pretty diverse. I've seen tutting, traditional, pop and lock, and even dancers that integrate props like kendama or even a soccer ball. funny, I've even seen pole dancing in those competitions.
20:44 my first thought was the way I've seen some japanese people do surprised takes (in conversation, not necessarily cinematically). The big, incredulous "ehhhhhh!?" right after a surprising statement or visual, i wonder if that ties in at all. maybe it ties to the "tsukkomi" reaction, especially found in the kansai region. i don't know if that links to a deeper cultural significance of action/reaction.

@@mikulitsi1819 huge shame, all a game of luck and timing in a lot of cases I guess haha

There's a film named "Ninja 2: Shadow of a tear". Check the fight scene of Kane Kosugi and Scott Adkins in it
@@dinhlien980 I'm a little offended by the fact that you thought I hadn't seen it lol

Ninja Black! Jiraiya!!❤❤
My favorite fight scene of Kane Kosugi is fighting against Scott Adkins and joining alongside with his father when he was a boy "Enter The Ninja"
His father was a great martial Artist. I watched Sho from his first start

Great interview! I cannot understand why Kane's not in more stuff! Guy's amazing!

Loved this guy in Choyleefut. His fight scene is the best one in that film.
I love his fight too... i can replay many times haha
1:13:45 Pretty sure he said these same words when he made his return to SASUKE. Kane is such a great human being
