I finally checked out Day Shift (2022) on Netflix earlier today and I forgot that Scott Adkins was in it.

It's a small part but very entertaining nonetheless.

Accident Man 2 is out on digital today.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

He actually made two films that I consider modern westerns: ON DEADLY GROUND (1994) and UNDER SIEGE II: DARK TERRITORY (1995). I actually watched them both again recently along with UNDER SIEGE (1992). DEADLY GROUND has a lot of scenes on horseback in the Alaska wilderness. It remains enjoyable, although I did laugh a lot during it.

UNDER SIEGE II, set on a train traveling through the Colorado rockies, just like many an old western, holds up well. Still my favorite Seagal film after ABOVE THE LAW, although I haven't seen that one in many years and will have to re-view it to see if it holds up..

Scott Adkins was interviewed today on The John Campea show promoting his new movie. He’s a really good interview and apparently wrote to Campea as a fan of his show and wanted to know if he wanted to do an interview.

FIRE DOWN BELOW has that feel also...

and The Patriot, but the movie is one of his worst, back when he was making real movies.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

Scott Adkins looks damn great for being 46yrs. :eek:

Looks like Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White are working together again on another project. MJW is in England

Adkins was born about twenty years too late. He would have been a Hollywood superstar in the 80s and 90s, maybe a career like Van Damme.

I just watched Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday tonight. I thought it was great and a solid sequel. . It does start a little rough with the goofiness and very British humor. But, it gets going at the midway point and never lets up. The hand to hand fight scenes and action were top notch. I especially loved Mike Fallon's big fight scene with the crazy killer clown who feels no pain. Lots of badass brutality. There are several awesome fight scenes. Sarah Chang was also very funny and badass as Siu-Ling.

:lol: at the ending with the bomb. If you were a fan of the 1st movie, definitely give this a watch. It's not on any streaming services yet, you have to rent it. But, I thought it was worth it depending on how much you like Adkins movies.

They’re doing a sequel to One Shot.

So he's the Colin Farrell (as the Penguin) of JW4?

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

To follow up on my post from February 10th, Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday is now on Hulu.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

I just watched the first one last week and it was fun. I may watch the sequel tonight.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

:thumbsup: Agreed with all of the above. The rogue's gallery of assassins was over-the-top but very fun. Especially the clown :lol: . And the final fight scene was pretty badass. I loved Siu-Ling, a tribute I suppose to Cato from the Pink Panther movies. If they make another Accident Man movie I hope they bring her back.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

Ha, I couldn’t have picked Scott Adkins out of a lineup last week and so I had ignored this thread, but I just watched One Shot on Hulu and thought it was pretty entertaining. One reviewer said it felt like watching a first-person shooter game, which seems accurate. I’d watch a sequel.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

^ Thanks for the rec. That was badass!

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

I just watched this and, yeah, it's pretty good. Very different from his action-comedy movies like Accident Man, though. This is dead serious and the action is mostly gunfights with only a bit of hand-to-hand fighting. As dex14 mentioned above they are making a sequel which will be called One More Shot.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

After digging his “Mr Creosote as kung fu star” turn in John Wick 4 I checked out Avengement last night which was good pulp fun - definitely look forward to catching up on more of his work as he’s got a nice bit of charisma. Something about his face reminds me of a less snarky Ryan Reynolds and I like his willingness to ugly himself up for a role.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

Undisputed 2-4 are a must. The fights are great.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

I watched Hard Target 2 a couple of days ago. It's not a great movie, but for a cheap copy of a 90s action movie it was way better than I expected.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

Just watched Debt Collector 2 (aka Debt Collectors) on Netflix. Pretty good, though maybe not as fun as the first movie. The buddy chemistry of the two leads is still great, and Marina Sirtis has a small role in it. Some pretty brutal fight scenes, as you would expect.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

Keanu will be on The Art of Action next week.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread
 

He always sort of reminded me of Ben Affleck. Which is why this is the only scene in ​The Brothers Grimsby that made me laugh.
