Kane Kosugi / ケイン・コスギ - An action star of many styles (Action Talks #32)

[@FilmFightFanatic]

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.

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

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"

[@johnathancrosby6939]

Ninja Black! Jiraiya!!❤❤

[@JOHNWALLACE.]

His father was a great martial Artist. I watched Sho from his first start

[@theonlymegumegu]

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

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

[@mikulitsi1819]

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

[@jimjams4957]

Very enjoyable, thanks. I enjoy these and hope we get many more. ; )

[@KosugiChronicles]

Absolutely fantastic interview.

[@momew333]

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

[@resrer]

Loved this guy in Choyleefut. His fight scene is the best one in that film.

[@momew333]

I love his fight too... i can replay many times haha

[@mikulitsi1819]

1:13:45 Pretty sure he said these same words when he made his return to SASUKE. Kane is such a great human being

[@Faustustopheles]

Fantastic interview.

[@Spanluver]

Your father was fucking awesome. That ending of ninja 3 the dominion when he flipped through the sword strikes was awesome

[@theonlymegumegu]

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.

[@bruceleeds7988]

That Scott Adkins fight

[@playalot86]

JIRAIYA is the best! SUPA HENGE!!!

[@akbarsstudio]
