The Art of Action - Chad Stahelski - Episode 9

[@mariorodriguezjunior]

RIP Brandon Lee. That was a tough segment for Chad, but thanks for doing it, appreciate it, the martial arts community lost another legend prematurely.

[@antdujar]

agreed!

[@mrmalaysia1]

Scott Adkins is an absolute legend for just doing this brilliant interviews❤ Unlike the big tv and youtube channels that does highly advertised but low quality interviews, Scott Adkins asks proper questions that provide an insight inside the artist's life and work,in addition to giving us a glimpse of another side these artists. Amazing work and hope he keeps doing it.

[@germankenway]

Amen 👌🏻

[@-MrFozzy-]

Yeah it’s the difference of a professional interviewer/reporter asking dull, unoriginal….cringey questions. Against a humble professional fighter/stunt guy who is also a huge fan…asking questions you want to know or wouldn’t think to ask. How it should be!

It's amazing to see Scott speak so passionately about The Matrix, Keanu, etc ... that's why he's so great, because he's humble and he's still a fan. he is one of us.

[@danijelamajic4231]

I think the same....

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

I love how a lot of his start is such an ecclectic mix of being in the right place at the right time, knowing the right people and then just working hard and being hungry to learn. Right time period definitely helped too.

Scott Adkins needs a tv show or a full on web series with real production for these. Scott you are great at these interviews and you do a great job letting them speak but keeping it flowing at the same time. This is GREAT stuff!!

[@anthonybutt5988]

Outstanding interview. Never seen Chad talk about his work before. For someone to start as a stuntman, learn his craft the hard way and then transition into one of the most exciting Directors at present is incredibly inspiring. Looking forward to John Wick 4 - like everyone else. 👍

[@captare]

One of the things I loved about this video is when we see Scott standing still and paying close attention to what Chad is talking about. You can see his eyes sparkle! Chad is doing a lot for the action film industry, here we can see the things he had to fight to change and prove.

[@EntertheDragon76]

Was only a matter of time. Can't wait to watch this episode.

[@cliffordcopeland2908]

Now this is how u run a channel! None stop bangers. I do appreciate and love your tutorials also, please keep them coming. Kinda redundant to say but its so true This is the most complete Channel.

[@keydemographics]

Chad fucking ascended to the pantheon with John Wick 4. Up there with Bay and Cameron as a Hollywood action director. You can see the work he has put in and the breadth of his influences onscreen.

[@AlkisGD]

This discussion was a much appreciated window into Chad's mind. Thank you _so_ much for setting this up and giving him the space to elaborate with his answers, Scott! I live in the Greek countryside and I've already made plans to go see John Wick 4 at one of the best cinemas in Athens, 4hrs away 🤩

This is BY FAR my favorite YT series of interviews I've watched this Summer. Especially this one with Chad. You can tell he's totally passionate about his craft and takes no shit to be able to keep his vision. Can't wait to see what he will do with Wick 4 & 5. Scott I hope you keep doing this serie for a long time to come. 👍😃

That's why living in California is a blessing. Every MARTIAL ART is brought their to be advertised on it'sgreatness.

[@xavierl.4383]

Thank you for asking Chad about Brandon Lee. Having those questions come from you instead of a random journalist made it more authentic.

[@sonicboom2835]

Chad has valid points for up and coming Directors. A STORY/LINE IS A MOVEMENT, A Story moves. Writing a Script is easy, reading lines is easy. Putting that Action Story so to speak in 'action' and 'make-believable' to the audience is the key for the Actors, Directors, SOUNDTEAM and the Editors combined to make the story. A action scene edits are first approved by the ACTOR then the Editor. The Director is like all the above, they want the actor is a certain position/s, they control the CAMTEAM and verify the edits, themes....etc.

[@v-trigger6137]

these guys really needs to collaborate for a movie, they will definitely create something dynamite!. or at least Scott needs to be on John Wick 4, imagine a fight between him and Keanu

[@monketstyling]

Really great interview, almost came to tears myself when they talked about Brandon Lee. He should direct a new Crow movie, different story of the Crow, anyone can become the crow in the comics.

[@pereirahelder2855]

Dear Chad Stahelski Being a fan of the fruits of your labor as well as your career, I wanted to thank you for creating the John Wick Saga. Each new chapter is better than the previous one. I can no longer wait for the release of John Wick 4 to go see it in French cinemas. I loved the Matrix tetralogy too much, thanks for putting Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Daniel Bernhardt in the John Wick universe. It's kind of funny to see you doing this saga, knowing that you had been Keanu Reeves' stunt double. I think it's a good recognition of your talent, that the fans appreciate you. I hope to find Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving in the next episode. Regarding the action of John Wick 5, I would be grateful if you could bring in Michael Jai White and Lateef Crowder Dos Santos. They could play the Bad Guys in this one. I wish you and the entire 87 Eleven Productions team happiness and success in your future projects. Once again thank you. From 🇫🇷 by a 🇵🇹 fan, Kinds Regards. Hélder Pereira

[@ibpiano5520]

Beautiful interview, man. That part where Chad teared up talking about Brandon was genuinely moving. He also provided some great insights into the making of the JW franchise, and your questions were spot on. If I may, I'd like to propose some other great action directors for future episodes: Christopher McQuarrie, David Leitch, Sam Hargrave, and the one and only Jackie Chan.

[@XTGAMEZ009]

Chad's rant on modern action take is very true.. I'm glad directors like him are changing the game.

[@miloogorman2310]

Sat through this twice... it's practically a masterclass in itself (in an 'actors guild' stylee). 2 years on Chad remembered to reach out as per the final promise in his last moments in interview; hope to see your performance soon Scott (Your character in the trailer seems DeNiro-esque ala latter stage Raging Bull... deliberate nod maybe?) P.s. I think you should suggest Michael Wincott (The Crow) to Chad as a potential bad guy in Wick 5. Brilliant interview. Thanks for sharing guys!

[@delrey874]

He is currently one of the best action film directors. I want him to make more movies.

[@djrakman3909]

Scott is so humble considering he basically surpassed most of the guys he interviews in martial arts. First and foremost he was a fighter, then started acting in a TV drama and humbly moved up the acting ranks through his pure acting talent to finally get into the field of martial arts acting. He may be no Keanu but even Keanu would agree he is the best in the business. Easily has surpassed van damm by now in my opinion

[@danilederer5546]

Looking forward to see Scott at Corridor Digital

Yer, Straight away I thought of what Kurt Wimmer called Gun Kata, So it's gone by a few names.

[@iannottingham4640]

The movie has too many scene cuts during its action scenes. I guess they could not make it look good without it.

[@v-trigger6137]

the technique was used in Equilibrium was "Gun-kata". it was created by the director Kurt Wimmer himself, apparently he came with this idea when he was experimenting different techniques in his backyard. obviously he was inspired by matrix

Haha its a shame equilibrium underrated behind the heels of matrix success

[@jessicachafoya3747]

As a worldwide audience and loyal fan base to Scott and Chad, loving all the work they do, by the power of the internet and universe, please make it happen 🙏 ❤

[@BaiLong45]

Just another great interview! I appreciated Chad’s honesty about filmmaking, especially how he called out directors for looking down on directing action. Had to pause and reflect when he said that if he could learn about directing, they in turn could learn about action choreography, which quite honestly is the basis for these multimillion dollar movies. I appreciated how Chad has to work around the weaknesses of an actor and how preparation, whether it’s camera angles or actor training, saves money in the end. Man, such an amazing director!

I just want to go on record saying, can't believe I'm seeing this, for years I've wanted these two men I'm currently watching in this interview, to team up! This pairing has the potential for some of the best action this world has ever seen and I think it is crime that this has yet to happen.
