The Art of Action - Richard Norton - Episode 11

[@johnpreston8621]

Great video! I watched it for an hour with a smile! Richard is an absolute legend to me!

[@trhl1155]

Hey Scott, this project of yours is turning out to be a treasure trove of personal stories from all the lovely martial artists we grew up watching in the 80s and 90s. I am loving this so much and look forward to the next interview every time. Thanks a million!!!👍

[@Cashewnutter112]

There you go, go the Aussie.

[@bonifaceonyekaba8849]

"Painful" Norton is a sort of unsung star. He made stars in the background with his stunt choreography. He has worked across the world with all sorts. The yang to Rothrock's yin. A real martial artist.

[@mantislake4141]

"With all sorts" is exactly right. Has to be the only guy to do multiple films with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung in Hong Kong, plus Cynthia Rothrock and Chuck Norris, stateside. Plus Australian flicks and his bodyguard work!

[@sparkysafc1]

Richard seems a really genuine nice bloke,got some great stories and you can see how much joy he gets telling them

[@mustafasahbaz4658]

We are happy to see the legendary artist Mr. Norton. Loves from Türkiye.

[@panathatube]

Actually Scott Adkins had visited Greece for training lessons maybe he has visited Turkey as well.

Scott..your a bloody nice guy mate...like a kid meeting his idols reflects the decent good person you are mate...Love your work buddy

[@thatguywesmaranan]

i love how scott looks like a giddy little boy listening to all the stories from his guests... his genuine interest and enjoyment is so refreshing and awesome... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@danijelamajic4231]

[@laztoth3104]

Thank you so much.!!!! Scott for this sieres. RESPECT 👍👍👍

2 great Fighters, great persons. Greetings from Denmark

[@KinnonP]

What an incredible life this gentleman is living. To have been side by side with gods of the music industry as a bodyguard for years, is a unique enough experience in itself, but to have worked his way up besides the legends of action cinema on every side of the planet AND become a choreographer of absolute reknown at the top of the hollywood tree is the kind of life that demands it's OWN movie ! Looking forward to Suicide Squad, and everything Richard still has to bring. Thanks for another gold standard interview.

[@m1kephenix]

Richard Norton's Sai work was insane. 🤯🤯

[@mash7745]

[@robtaylor5614]

What a bloody lovely chap Richard Norton is, and a bona fide legend! This series is so special, as are you Scott. A national treasure.

[@tashadent150]

I hope that James Gunn brings him into his revamping of DCEU, as a fight coordinator and choreographer because he is amazing.

[@bosshogg4577]

Great episode!!

[@rickzinser2808]

Living Legend Richard Norton! Thank you for making these videos of this special time of martial arts movies and the martial artists who make this time so special.

[@LFOVCF]

Aw Richard Norton, he was one of my MA movie heroes when I was a kid. Absolutely amazing on screen presence. So good to see him here.

[@Aligamertm]

Thank you very much you show us best actor we missed them

[@vjvlad]

Thank you Scott for this. My favorite Podcast from the series so far. HELL YEAH SCOTT ADKINS!

[@vegandmac]

Just watched Magic Crystal and now I’m watching Rage and Honor at the moment. Just wanted to see what Richard Norton was up to now and found this interview. I love the guy 👌

[@Зритель597]

I am from Russia and i very love this channel. I see many of this films in school age and this is very good memories.

[@cyprusaikido]

Thank you Scott for all those great videos

[@TonnyTay]

Cynthia Rothrock when? Bring her on this show. She was before my time, but she can definitely kick ass.

[@farsalami8605]

cynthia has been on the show.... this is long time ago, but if you forgot to check...check it now.

[@stunningsalman]

Watched the episodes of Richard Norton, Benny the Jet, Cynthia Ruthrog, Gary Daniels and Dulph Lundgren. Loved all of them, but my favourite is Benny the Jet's episode. Thank you Scott for bringing back my childhood.

[@Domzdream]

Aw man, I can’t wait. I’ve seen this guy in so many movies!!

[@Ericson_27]

What a fantastic interview guys. When Jackie Chan said he gets tired of Westerners coming in trying to show how tough ass as they are. Then when Richard said Sammo Hung punched him in the face so many times something like 20 and kicked him full force. I couldn’t help but think Jackie and Sammo Hung are just punishing Westerners too you see how tough they really are. Richard proved he’s pretty dam tough. Great series Scott.

[@mantislake4141]

Outstanding! I've enjoyed the hell out of all of these but this one was my favorite. No one has worked with so many different factions of martial arts cinema!

[@SCOTTADKINSOFFICIAL]

Great

I would love to see a Fist of the North Star reboot with Scott Adkins a Cyborg/Lionheart/Double Impact reboot with Scott Adkins would be AWESOME a Only the Strong reboot with Scott Adkins would be COOL a Best of the Best reboot with Scott Adkins as Alex and Tony Jaa as Tommy would be freaking EPIC. The Perfect Weapon reboot with Scott Adkins would be good a fucking Bloodmoon reboot with Scott Adkins as Ken O'Hara and Michael Jai White as Chuck Baker would be freaking HARDCORE a Cold Harvest reboot with Scott would be great a Enter the Dragon reboot with Scott Adkins as Roper Tony Jaa as Lee Michael Jai White as Williams and Mark Dacascos as the Villain Han the movie would be BADASS.

richard norton is a legend never thought he was this cool of a guy. Thanks Richard for your great work..... my generation will always remember you.

[@k2muts]

Anyone else notice the inner kid bounce out of Adkins when Norton told the story about Bruce... Lol....Adkins went *full giddy* ....exactly as I did. Lol. What a beautiful moment.

[@hedgehog1965uk]

Yeah, even asked if Richard had any more tales about Enter The Dragon (even if they were 2nd hand).

[@DoppeD]

I hope it wasn't a true story.

[@Pops_Reviews]

Mr.Adkins, you hit gold with these interviews! Just awesome to see these Legends tell their their stories and you lead it beautifully Mr.Adkins! Another thing that helps these is, not only is Mr.Adkins and awesome action star, but a genuine student and fan of the Martial arts and Movies! Thank you Mr.Adkins!!

[@MoyMoy474]

I grew up watching Mr. Norton. So nice to hear his stories. It brings me back to my teenage years. Memories.

[@rushaholic]

I'm so glad that you are doing this Scott, Richard is an unsung Australian hero to a lot of us martial arts fans and I'm looking forward to seeing this interview. AND I'm also happy to see people shouting out Cynthia Rothrock as someone you should definitely interview. She would have some amazing stories to tell about what it was like being a female action star during the very masculine 80's and 90's. I've always loved her, she had tremendous skill as a fighter but still showed a beautiful feminine side and with the acting chops that put a lot of her male contemporaries to shame...I'm looking at you Steven Segal you big plank of wood!! Thank you for so much incredible content and I've got the reminder set for Debt Collectors on Aussie netflix ready to go. Now...hurry up and play Batman dammit haha!!!!

[@HeyouCrow]

Hmm.., 🤔.., 😅. 🐘🙈.., 👋🏾👋🏻👋

[@wolflike24124]

its so great to do this interview with him! I always liked his role as a villain in Jackie Chan films back in the 80s and 90s. So this means alot to me :) You have to interview cynthia rothrock

I used to love Richard Norton movies, I remember watching a movie when he played a villain in Australia where he fought Jackie Chan.

One episode with Donnie yen That would be great

[@nemisysone]

Incredible episode!!! I love the stories and insights that Richard Norton provided about the early Hong Kong action movies and how their fights were choreographed, how they were shot, and how they were produced! Lots of good stuff here, Tons of love and respect for Richard!!! He has the uncanny ability to play these quirky villains and characters with a certain authenticity and gravitas, even if they were played for laughs . He also had a way of making the hero characters in his movies look good on screen! Huge props as well to Chuck Norris, Sammo Hung, and Cynthia Rothrockl!!! Waiting with bated breath for the next episode!!!

[@mantislake4141]

LOL, poor Robert Clouse

[@jimmitong]

the beauty of this series is not just hearing about living legends like Northon, but watching Scott put all his passion into it. It's great to see how his face and smile light up as he talks about big names in martial arts movies. Scott is one of us.

[@danijelamajic4231]

Yeah it's amazing, he's getting to interview so many other martial artists that he watched and admired when he was a kid. You can tell how genuine his glee is when he's talking to them.

[@pdanokia2524]

Thanks for the opportunity. Each time it's a treasure.

[@constantinezh7156]

Seen this man as a 9-10 year old on a VHS my dad bought back in the late 90's. It was a little australian film called "Under the Gun" I believe (called "Iron Fist" in some countries, like mine, Russia), where Norton played a nightclub owner and ex-hockey player. GREAT MOVIE, never forgot that film, I'm 33 now. We were all fans of American flicks on VHS back then, watching and imitating the fights. Richard Norton was one of the inspirations. Thank you sir!

[@sifu2u_now]

Amazing...Richard Norton was a martial art idol of mine growing up after I watched the Octagon. Always thought he was a bad ass. Thanks for this interview.

[@julianoviedo]

Scott, you are THE MAN when it comes to martial arts. Never have I seen such amazing sequences and from such a humble person. I love your channel and this series of episodes with fellow legends. I wish you expansion and fulfilment as a whole in your life. By the way, your "podcasting" set up is amazing!

SR RICHARD NORTON, an alive legend!! Excelent interview, congratulations, Mr. Adkins.

[@BodyOpt]

I'm not even half way through, and the breakdown of that timeless scene with Sammo Hung is worth its weight in gold. Fantastic work!

[@BaiLong45]

Thought I just listen for a couple of minutes, but ended up listening to the entire interview. Listening to Richard is like listening to a cool uncle. Listening to him work with legends like Chuck Norris, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Cynthia Rothrock was a delight. Him reminiscing about Hong Kong reminded me of the time I spent there. And I agree with his last comments, how you don't realize the impact of something until years (and sometimes decades) later. Great to hear that he's still a martial artist at heart and still creative in filmmaking. Excellent job to both Scott and Richard for this!

[@tatsujincorp]

Norton is just such a lovely and humble guy with great telling skills. Love him.

[@jamespowell1384]

I am loving this series. I grew up in the UK and was lucky enough to have a great Chinese friend and we spent our youth watching Hong Kong martial art movies. Richard Norton and Benny the Jet were superb in these movies and i greatly enjoyed listening to him here. What a great guy with a long career thats as strong today as ever. That fight with Samo Hung was superbly done and certainly one of his highlights. Great work Scott, and really enjoying hearing these back stories from the Golden Age of martial arts movies. Keep em coming brother.
