@@VikingSamurai How about getting into your show Sho Kosugi" and Cynthia Rothrock?

[@MrJames2025a]

When I started watching Viking Samurai I saw him as a normal bloke who was a little too protective of JCVD. Having watched your videos consistently since you started I have gained a real appreciation for your love of the action and martial arts genre and the actors and actresses who play in that realm. When you listen to the stories people like Steven tell you see in your eyes you are thoroughly engrossed and love hearing everything they have to say. The best quality an interviewer can have is to listen and we can see how much you enjoy hearing these stories. I have long been a massive movie nerd and dare say I have seen more and have a deeper knowledge than you. Don't take that as a slight, as it isn't. I am just trying to say there seems to be a lot of older movies that you still haven't seen and may not even be aware of. It's worth the time to explore the older movies as they tell a story of how modern movies are made and the many homage that tend to appear in them. Keep up the great work though mate. Would love to see more kids on Stallone and especially the Rambo series. Well worth resisting. All the best.

[@edwindude9893]

I love hearing about the legend of Benny. Great set of interviews. And what an amazing interviewing style, no interruptions or gimmicks. Fantastic 10/10.

Benny The Jet Urquidez is 💯% one of the best opponent for Jackie Chan in Wheel On Meal and Dragon Forever where both he was the most skill fighter the bad guy boss had on his side.

@@VikingSamurai yes and it’s sad that Jackie didn’t do more movies with Benny I think Dragon Forever was the last movie Benny was in a Jackie movie

Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is a talented fighter. This guy can hang with the best of them. He's not only good at real fighting, he's good at fight choreography. You can tell the man has real skills. When I watched Benny being interviewed by Scott Adkins, I learned alot about him, he seems like a really nice guy. Wants to make sure he does things properly, wants to look out for anyone he's working with. Benny Urquidez vs Jackie Chan is one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. TERRANCE OUT

Sensei Urquidez is the GOAT for many reasons, I'm glad finally someone confirms this story of Benny fighting a real life prisoner.

[@Katzenhase]

But actually he lost his real fight against Japanese Tagami. The fight is online on youtube. Tagami was 25 and Benny already 41 years old. They awarded Benny the victory because it was his last fight and the fight was in his hometown Las Vegas. Chuck Norris and Don Wilson were the commentators and they both said that Benny didn´t win the fight.It was maybe a draw with slight advantages to Tagami. But it was a joke that Urquidez was the winner and Benny knew that. But much respect to Benny because he was already 41 years old and Tagami was much younger.

Hey Viking. I have a off topic question. Do you plan to review any new movies? Thanks to the global pandemic my 13 year old son and I have been watching a ton of action movies. We normally watch movies from the 80's or 90's but there are some new movies that are great. We really enjoyed "Boss Level" on Hulu and "Outside the Wire" on Netflix.

[@VikingSamurai]

Those trailers both look good. "Boss Level" reminds me of a cross between Groundhog Day and Highlander lol (they seem to make a ton of movies and shows based on the Groundhog Day's stuck time loop). The only New movie I'll likely cover is Mortal Kombat (possibly comparing it to the original) and Musashi Crazy Samurai... there's still too many old movies I need to cover first (the rest of the Van Damme ones that went to the theater), several Stallone ones and I need to start on Arnold ones.... speaking of newer movies, this isn't action but one that I found highly enjoyable and have been recommending is "American Animals" (I believe it's on Amazon Prime), it's based on a true story (about an art heist), I think you and your son will enjoy it.

- Benny the Jet arguably the best Kickboxer ever. - I would not put Sam in Nowhere to Run as my top 5 JCVD characters. He tried doing something different with that movie, he gets an A for effort but the movie really wasn't that good. Just ask his co-star Rosanna Arquette how she feels about JC and the movie itself. - Top 5 characters in my opinion are: Frank Dux in Bloodsport, Alex Wagner in Double Impact, Leon Gaultier in Lionheart, Luc Devereux in Universal Soldier & Kurt Sloane in Kickboxer. An honorable mention/6th favorite character would prob be Chance Boudreau in Hard Target. - As far as the comments back and forth go between you and that shnook, that guy didn't substantiate one claim of his in why he was calling you names and why he was giving you that blowback.
