Fight Breakdown with Scott Adkins - The Armour of God

[@bernardgeorge9187]

The end fight scene in police story in the shopping mall has to be one of my favourite scenes

[@dobriyvecher]

My favorite JC movie, this movie has all: comedy, action, fights, racing, stunts, beautiful girls, different locations and great soundtrack!

[@sara.cbc92]

I'm a big JC fan but this movie was draggy in the middle. The opening and end fight are the best.

[@zijadtumbul6135]

Favorit film police story 1

[@tarasshevchenko8917]

The one important thing to mention…listen to the rhythm. It’s all musical. Reminds me of the Benny ´The Jet’ Urquidez’ story about watching Jackie tapping on his knee during the making of Wheels on Meals. Benny asked what Jackie was doing. He was choreographing the scene based on the rhythm. In this scene, it’s immensely noticeable during the back and forth punch-block combo.

[@Moveplaylift]

One of my favourite JC fight scenes ever. Incredible.

[@KillaHarkan]

Excellent actor, you are a great man

[@andrew221179]

Happy Birthday Jackie. The Legend.

[@schorschkluni5067]

70 already jeez Time mercyless😂

[@Viral-Cell]

That was the first Jackie Chan movie I ever saw at 6 years old, it blew my mind & changed my life! I saw the way he skip/ran up walls and staircases to reach great heights and thought: "Wait, humans can DO THAT?!!"

[@luckrequired5382]

People always banged on about Bruce Lee (I appreciated him later on) but me and my brothers were always Jackie Chan fans. Rented VHS (and borrowed pirate copies at school) along with WWF wrestling stuff and watched that stuff everyday after school. He's the best.

[@johnnyguitar6639]

Well bruce was more straight up fight.Though most of his movies were horrible. I take exception to fist of fury. Cause there you the most bang for the buck. But Jackie's movies are more comedy mixed with fighting. Also they usually had better developed story

[@gunsharck]

You do know that Bruce influenced Jackie aye??? Without Lee there’d be no Chan. Lee even used him in a couple films so how about showing respect pal aye???

[@johnnyguitar6639]

@@gunsharck Yeah I know of their history. But that doesn't make Bruces movies any better.Not everything in jackies library is all that either. The one were Sammo play retard is pretty boring. Dragons forever ain't all that. The fights are good.But the story and the dynamic all over,is bad

[@dariusjavidan5609]

Jackie and his brothers were always my favourite.

[@ThepurposeofTime]

@@johnnyguitar6639 Sammo, Jackie, Yuen Biao are basically an extension of Concord Productions (Bruce Lees company before it got absorbed by Golden Harvest) their modern era films the characters basically used JKD and their period dramas took off after Prodigal Son which is a Wing Chun movie. those three and the production team members (Yuen Wah, Lam Ching-Ying etc) are all like Bruce's younger brothers. it took them 8 years to match then surpass Bruces action quality. but if he was still around to advance his filmmaking skills it would have been even better for all of them

[@dayzoflot2022]

(2:12) WOW!! That monk's double back flip off the bench is etched in my memory. When we saw that for the first time on VHS in the trailer back in 1990,, we were just awestruck. We didn't know humans could do such acrobatic feats. John Ladalski (1950-2016) is a legend, period. Actor

[@shaw8443]

Scott please do more of these fight scene breakdown videos.

[@MartialArtUK]

One of the greatest but underated fight scenes of all time !

[@evilalex87]

jackie chan in 80s and 90s made some of the best action scenes ever

[@sara.cbc92]

The best. Along with John Woo heroic bloodshed movies

[@danieljurasek619]

In City Hunter the final fightscene with Jackie and Richard Norton is awesome too. :)

[@grayperspectivepodcast]

Surprisingly, this is may be my favourite Jackie Chan fight scene. Next to his fight v benny the jet in Wheels on Meals. I also love the fight between hum and the 4 Amazons in Armour of God.

[@mnkykungfu]

Love how Scott can't help just reacting with "ooh", "ugh", and just like all of us fans when we watch. Would love a longer commentary on this film from him!

[@sara.cbc92]

Jackie Chan developed "One man against the World" choreography. In Armor of God, he fights off multiple opponents at one time in a circular motion. He employs this in Police Story, Rumble on the Bronx etc. Most martial artists fight one by one sometimes 2 at a time. This is what sets Jackie apart from the rest.

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

He started doing it a little to much though, always running away fighting in operation condor end fight, the Amazon women fight in this, and police story 2 end fight.

[@sara.cbc92]

@@MitchClement-il6iq running away isn't part of "one man against the world." That's when he fights multiple opponents at once. pls stop gaslighting.

[@blackdynamite863]

Absolute classic, that one.

[@QuincyKane]

Would definitely love to see more of this!

[@FunnyInfinityZone]

Go back to Jackie Chan's movies from the 70s up till 2024 and many of them are still great to watch.

[@garyjamestaylor]

Jackie has so many classic fight scenes the mall fight at the end of the original Police Story followed by Armour of God got me hooked on his movies on VHS in the 90's, with the fight choreography, the energy in the fights are addictive lol

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Hey Scott! Are you up for filming together? 🎥 Would love to visit for a day!

[@condorjoe72]

Love to see a breakdown of Jackie vs Benny the jet from wheels on meals

[@marcosvc76]

Jackie Chan is a legend.

[@lordwilksy]

The playground fight scene blew me away when I first saw it -police story 2

[@johnlloyddy7016]

For me, Jackie is one of 5 people who can pull off making fighting multiple opponents believable. The other four are Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Donnie Yen and the greatly underrated Dick Wei. They all have the combination of explosive movement, flow and rhythm that makes you believe they can do it in real life(even though it's realistically impossible). While a case could be made for Jet Li, Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais. But the five on my list are the best at it.

[@bernardwilliams4071]

I don't really think we will see a talent like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee ever again.

[@yutro213]

I'm afraid not, especially with so much CGI and now generative AI nowadays and in the foreseeable future.

[@bikersoncall]

@@yutro213 The footage they try to sell today is pathetic silliness. CGI, AI, as you say , and way too much 'wire-work' and absence of wide shots, where it isn't just AI, and CGI nonsense.

[@mnkykungfu]

Not exactly like them, but surely Jet Li and Donnie Yen are worthy for consideration on that Mount Rushmore...

[@tmalo7052]

One of My Fave Action Stars Geeking on the one of the Guys that started it all for Me. Between the Monk Fight and the Glamazons, some of the best choreography around.

[@Operator8009]

Love to see an interview with chan on here. Never a dull one with chan.

[@sara.cbc92]

I'm a huge Jackie fan. I used to watch his movies with our whole family. My fav period of his works are the 80s to 90s. After 2000s his work no longer thrilled me, his output was boring to bad. Maybe because of his age, but I continue to watch his movies to support him.

[@jakesmith5278]

Jackie Chan fan since the 80s. Nobody can do it better.

[@Anthony-Carlon]

As a 14 year old in the 90's, there was nothing like going to the video store and head straight to the Martial Arts section. We used to spend hours just trying to choose something.

[@kerrywhitehouse74]

Definitely my favourite fight scene too . Rem seeing it when I was 13 or so . I live in Ireland but grew up watching Jackie chan and run run shaw movies

[@damienallen8359]

Birmingham' s own Scott Atkins legend ✊🏽 More of this Scott

[@morecringe89]

I will repeat myself once more. Scott should be the new Batman. I don't go to watch movies to the theater anymore, but I would pay to watch that.

[@bennyaruba3449]

Agreed. Hollywood probably demands u gotta have like some DiCaprio or Brad Pitt type fame 4 such a role though, unfortunately..

[@orangepeel2223]

I've been saying this but he isn't a American cult weirdo or sell out

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Please review the heart of the dragon end fight Scott! The editing is jus incredible.

[@christianchauhan23]

❤🤍💙 you #SCOTT ADKINS 1 Septillion times.

[@joshpaul6417]

Always happy to get a notification that you posted!

[@davidiz1980]

I agree that this is one of Jackie Chans best fight scenes. When you get him on the art of action that will be epic.

[@Soumoyadeep_Maity]

i still remember when i saw undisputed 3 on hbo and i watched from the middle but when the movie ends i was searching for the full movie i mean those fight actions changes everything it was just wow . & that song " U ready ready ....."

[@inatrance92SK]

One of my favorite JC fight scenes as well! Love hearing your break down of fight scenes.

[@Mrkalm007]

JC is the GOAT. His films from the late 80,s were my favorite. Had to wait until they showed on channel 4s hong season to watch them until i finally bought a video player and got them on VHS. If i could only choose 1 actors films to watch it would be Jackie hands down. Great Man, great movies and great memories

[@sara.cbc92]

His movies age well. I like Drunken Master (1st one)

[@محمدالكناني-ق6ب]

Your channel is considered one of the best channels and one of the best channels specialized in the world of martial arts. You inspire us in all your distinguished and interesting topics.

[@ironmanstark9577]

We are similar age Scott, and didn’t we have it brill growing up in the 80’s and having so many martial art films to watch?? I know you’ve worked with a lot of them now, but will the world see any more of the likes of-Loren, Cynthia, Norton, vitali, Keith Cooke, Billy blanks, Jackie, bolo, rhee brothers, Chuck, jcvd, Donnie yen…80’s and 90’s will never be beaten

[@KillerTacos54]

This is amazing! Please do more of these

[@UBERINDOMITABLE1]

In the early 90's when I was about 16 years old there was a British show presented by Mariella Frostrup called Video View. It was on ITV about 2am every week and used to feature new Jackie Chan releases on VHS. I used to religiously set the recording timer on my top loader in the hopes of catching a fight clip. No KZbin or streaming back then so you had to get creative. Xmas 91' Channel 4 also showed a season of Jackie Chan films in original dialogue withs subs which I recorded on VHS. I treated those tapes like priceless artifacts 😂

[@Rhythmattica]

I love all his fight scenes.. Even the less good, are still better than the best in many a movie... But I still have a fondness for the fight scenes in Dragons Forever.. Its not only got Samo and Yuen in the film, but also Benny the Jet... Like a Meals on Wheels get together.,.. I guess, as I said, I think its a bit left out re the JC output.

[@M4nvrs]

His fight with Benny "The Jet" in "Wheels on Meals" has to be one of the best in cinematic history!

[@hungkc007]

The honest truth about Scot Atkins is amazing martial artist. Always the best martial artest ever!

[@sara.cbc92]

He's great but I hope he gets better roles.

[@asd4657]

Watched one more shot last week, loved it can’t wait for part 3

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Awesome fight scene! Love the movie, lots of cool fights and crazy acrobatics throughout!

[@kobraman88]

Legend of Drunken Master has a crazy fight in the factory towards the end where he "drinks" petrol and some of the moves he does in that fight were amazing, one of the first Jackie/martial arts movies i saw growing up and instantly fell in love with his movies

[@jimmygodfrey4119]

Top of my list too!.... I think this is where he really honed that "brawling kung fu" style of his. Absolutely ragged my original VHS copy, rewinding and replaying this sequence 😗👌

[@chriscolbourn2941]

My favourite JC movie. As much as I love this scene, the end scene with the four women was super

[@illyakrit7494]

Always nice to see real Scott Adkins, after his role as Yurii Boiko. Two different persons. Great stuntman and very good actor!

[@testsmagazinejoystick1980]

His fights with Richard Norton are amazing.

[@sara.cbc92]

Not really. Norton has pretty basic MA skills. He can't do any acrobats.

[@rbarbetta1978]

Rumble in The Bronx was incredible.

[@sara.cbc92]

I think it's his best work. It's also an especially good intro for new JC fans. It combines excellent stunts, martial arts, environmental fights, comedy all in one bag. The movie's pacing was good too. Drunken Master 2 is highly overrated.

[@SirKentSaid]

I wanted to say THANK YOU. Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to do a channel like this. I always compare you & Micheal Jai White as being versions of the TRINITY of the Hong Kong Greats (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung). Because you make the best out of what you have budget-wise. I said it once & I'll say it again. Hollywood needs to go ahead & make you Deathstroke & make Micheal Bronze Tiger or do a remake of SPAWN with you as one of the villains. They need to let the two of you cook with a good budget

[@trer8]

You're correct. It's the broken fight rhythm, not just transactional exchanges that sets him apart.

[@АлексейИвахно-г9е]

One of my favorite scenes too, Bro!

[@thesmartbudgetchannel2940]

Do the breakdown between Benny the Jet and Jackie Chan

[@sympadm3742]

I really loved this movie growing up

[@trombonemunroe]

This is like watching a favourite martial arts movie with one of my mates :D

[@cristianmunteanu8765]

Scott's take on these is awesome. The insight is really fun. Great stuff, mate! 🏆💪

[@hanzojapa]

A lot of fight movies, people complain that the bad guys go one of a time, but a lot of Jackie movies, he does in a way, were is like he is being overwhelmed but able to win.

[@TheUnitedView79]

Jackie chan always worked on the principle that in a real fight against multiple opponents they would all attack at once and that’s why his fight scenes are so mental

[@sara.cbc92]

It's called "One man against the World" in Chinese. It's a real choreography he developed.

[@sara.cbc92]

There's a reason why Scott won a JC award. Jackie recognizes talent and skills. The best martial artists onscreen this generation are Scott, Tony Jaa and Sho Kosugi's son.

[@wdudi]

Best actor in history action movies and scott adkins

[@tonypang83]

Nice to see a new video format here on this channel. I think the ultimate Art of Action interview (in my humble opinion) would be to get Jackie Chan on 😍

[@lakerguy3358]

Great breakdown! Two amazing action stars!

[@GalgalimEyes]

The best to ever do it.

[@worthalook4870]

Definitely check out Dragons Forever full end fight - Yuen Biao vs many followed by Jackie Vs Benny

[@johnwebb4292]

I love it when other grown adults get as excited as me to watch a fight scene... Cant talk to normal people about this stuff without getting weird looks. 😂

[@ericshelley7241]

I am a huge fan of Jackie chan. I grew up watching all his movies. And I am a huge fan of yours Scott. Thanks for all your hard work scott.i wish you could play batman in the new James gunn movie. Or be the next punisher. Cheers from Kentucky

[@bananachild1936]

There's just no replacing Jackie Chan's style of entertainment. It's a good thing he made so many memorable action films. Even his mediocre ones are still fun as hell because the fight choreographs pretty much would carry the whole film anyway. So it'll be a sad sad day when he (like every other human being) eventually passes away.

[@sara.cbc92]

He has been lamenting the subject of death a lot lately. And I will be translating some of his Chinese interviews about it. It's very sad and he has tears in one interview 😢

[@stuCameraman1]

Did my first bit of camera opping last month with some trained stunt fighters near London 🎥💥🕊️ been waiting YEARS to get a chance to do this... They were very pleased with my camera work as I was the gimbal guy😂..3 camera set up... One shot I had to do was tracking back at a constant speed through a narrow barn+ frame more to the right against a wall while 2 guys were taking out around 7 bad guys+ I had to pan more right if talent advanced or hit their marks early+ keep an eye behind me as not to trip on debree 🥵 I kept thinking of all those oriental action movies id seen from Jackie chan to Bruce to chow yun fat, samo hung John woo, ong bak, the raid...a big shout to the Hong Kong action camera operators 🎉 not only did I have to remember my camera path and position but also remember key points of the fight scenes so I can get into position as xx happens. Can't wait for the next filming with trained people...😎🕊️💥🎥

[@martialatheist717]

I think Jackie still holds the record for most takes for the hacky sack sequence in Dragon Lord, over 1000 takes I believe. He was also horribly injured in making Armour of God when he fell 100 feet and fractured his skull.

[@Dupremej]

Can you do a breakdown of the four amazons fight scene from this same movie?

I am not the greatest stuntman alive. I just have the guts to try. ~ *Jackie Chan*

[@victordelagarza4330]

Jackie makes the impossible seem probable. Oh and Interesting sound effects there Scott

[@best3776]

Do more Jackie Chan please ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@advillegas86]

Love Jackie Chan cuz my Grandpa loved his and Jet Li and Donny Yen films... my dad was the Bruce Lee guy with all the 80s action Arnold, Stallone, Segal, VanDamme.... but to this day I love the acrobatics of Chan, the fight-style/showmanship of Li and Yen.... it's like they're the Asian 3 stooges...but they kick major butt... oh and Mr. Atkins... that back n forth choreo... it's a trademark of Jacki and his stunt team... or as you commented "The white guys become a little Asain"😅😅😅😅 Love your work as well

[@Vidyut_Gore]

Rented VHS and Jackie Chan is probably a universal childhood.

[@Quick605]

Jackie Chan' style is not martial art but parkour while fighting

[@pereirahelder2855]

It's allways a pleasure hear you in The Art of Action. Well, you have already interviewed Daniel Bernhardt ( John Wick 1), Mark Dacascos and Tiger Chan ( John Wick 3), Marko Zaror ( John Wick 4) and the huge Keanu Reeves ( all John Wick movies), so when can we have the pleasure of having the interview with Donnie Yen?

[@shaolinpunkFTW]

Great film and such clever actions scenes.

[@aurelienhenryobama5434]

Superb 🎉🎉🎉

[@membez87]

Ich danke dir scott für die tollen erinnerungen an Jackie Chan und seine Besten Filme von damals. Auch du hast etwas grossartiges erschaffen wie z.b. Boyka oder Casey Bowman, Accident Man. Solche Filme muss man sehr schätzen weil sonst es niemand der Martial Arts kann und es selbst Produziert. Jackie Chan oder Bruce Lee Scott du bist der Beste Kämpfer der Welt und bleibst du auch für uns Fans.

[@sebestiantagaro3206]

The second part of this movie is really fun 😂

[@KeithOvington]

Brilliant scott watch it when I was a kid had all jackie moves on video I think he nearly broke every bone in he's body but he's Brilliant and you scott are not far behind him mate 👍

[@baigos]

i think one of the amazing things of jackie chan are the expresions of his face, like jim carrey, or robin williams. He's doing amazing moves and at the same times the most expresive faces, like a real life cartoon. Maybe he spend the same time for training his body to train his face muscles. For example in police story he can fade from a crazy mad guy punching and kicking to a chad dude in the same situation.

[@BreakfastAtNoon]

Made the misses watch debt collectors 1 and 2. You now have a new fan lol

[@obsessedwithcrypto4366]

When is Jackie going to come into the art of action Ltd maybe Samo who’s getting old you forget how tough Jackie is

[@jimclawley9117]

I think this, Police story, Project A and Wheels on Meals are the definitive “modern” JC films. After Drunken Master and Snake in Eagles Shadow

[@willyung5819]

Last time I looked Jackie holds the record for most amount of takes in a film called Dragon Lord where they play kick badminton with shuttlecocks lol

[@sara.cbc92]

Yes, in Dragon Lord

[@Mutantgamer]

Would love to see Scott do a breakdown of the final fight scene in Flashpoint.
