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.

Ash Ketchum

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...

Runaway

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

Scott Adkins looks damn great for being 46yrs.

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.

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?

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

Cellar Door

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

Cellar Door

Agreed with all of the above. The rogue's gallery of assassins was over-the-top but very fun. Especially the clown . 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.

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.

Gunde

^ Thanks for the rec. That was badass!

Cellar Door

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.
