The Art of Action - Mark Dacascos - Episode 10

DRIVE is still my favorite Dacascos film. It's insane how overlooked this talented man has been. He should have been a huge Hollywood action star.

He was 31-32 in Drive ! Looks like someone on the top physical condition on the early 20s. While me on 33 has lost an abs, gain 15 kg and a shoulder pain because of office work 😅

And it is pretty neat to hear him use his natural accent. I didnt expect him to have such a good narration voice. If Scott ever gets bored with doing MA films, he should look into voice acting.

What a glorious and humble man. My favorite actor. I can't wait to see a film between you two.

[@AlStone2]

I love how so many martial arts masters and movie stars are just the most humble people. Rather than clashing egos, they just compliment the hell out of each other. Such great role models. It'd be nice to see more of that attitude in combat sports.

[@smesh141]

Fighters in combat sports are real martial artists, because as the name suggests, martial arts were developed for fighting and killing people. 99% of those movie stars never competed in any combat sport, so what are you talking about? The atittude fighters present sells the fights, it's their job. How can you say that someone is role model if you don't know any of these people in person? They are humble and nice to each other, because they are actors, most of them have never fought anywhere, it's not what they do. It's hard to call role models people like Van Damme, Seagal, Michael Jai White and even Bruce Lee.

[@AlStone2]

@@smesh141 I never said they weren't martial artists, read things properly before you reply

[@smesh141]

@@AlStone2 No, I said that and explained that.

[@AlStone2]

@@smesh141 you can sell a fight and still be respectful to one another. That sort of attitude should go hand-in-hand with marital arts training whether it involves combat sports or not. Also how can you say you have to know someone in person to judge them as a role model? That's a ridiculous statement. I guess next time someone says Nicki Minaj is a bad role model for young girls, I'll just say "you don't even know her!" And how the hell do you say you can't call someone like Bruce Lee a role model?!

[@smesh141]

@@AlStone2 Of course that you can sell fight being humble and respectful, but it's obvious that you can sell it much better when tension between fighters is stronger. It's their job, that's what they do for living. Most of the time it's not even real between them, it's more staged. Same with movies, someone can ask why martial arts masters (as you call them) stars in movies where there is so much brutality, revenge, hurting and killing people etc. To make money of course, but it's staged, just like most trash talk between fighters. It's obvious that in public most people try to behave nice, but we don't know any of them in person. For example Bruce Lee, he can be inspiration in many ways, but role model? There are no role models, people try to idealize famous people basing on their public image and behaviour, but they are just regular people with ups and downs. Bruce Lee for example was addicted to drugs, why most people never said anything about that? Because they idolize him and it doesn't fit to their perfect image of his which they created in their own imagination.

[@KinnonP]

This series has been an absolute joy. Honestly, I've always adored the "family tree" lineage that runs through decades of action cinema, how everyone knows each other, trains with each other, the skills being both refined and passed on from gen to gen, nothing but honest appreciation and inspiration taken from each others work. The mutual respect and complete lack of ego is so apparent it's actually quite humbling. Folks I'd love to see: Liang Yang, I think he and Scott could share experiences of being "that jaw-dropping guy" in blockbusters, and how it differs working on big budget movies versus more independent films. Jonathan Tropper, I know we're all in agreement that Gangs of London is exceptional, but surely with Banshee and now Warrior under his belt Tropper is a showrunner with a pretty massive action Tv pedigree, and obviously a huge appreciator of the genre. Also, just for the pure joy of hearing what must be an absolute treasure troves on some of the most cult movies of all time: Al Leong might be a superb interview. At this point, every guest is absolute fried gold anyway, (Hmm, Edgar Wright might be another interesting choice), but just adding my 2 cents to the embarassment of riches on display anyway. Also, Marvel ? Scott for Moon Knight. Take the very best of the Bendis / Ellis run, the impeccable white suit, but also the multiple personalities concept where he starts picking up other personas. I mean where else could you find someone talented enough to pull off the fighting styles of Captain America / Wolverine and Spider-man AND be a bloody good actor !

Many years ago in Sydney, while filming the Matrix sequels at Fox Studios, Keanu Reeves walked into my video store. He requested some recommendations on martial arts flicks. He was of course well versed in anything to do with Woo-Ping and the likes of Iron Monkey, so what did we recommend instead? Friggin' Drive with Dacascos. He rented it and loved it, said it was 'fantastic'. SIDE STORY: He would not take off his bike helmet for fear of being recognised... which half-worked, because once he started speaking there were many chucklesome double-takes from customers.

He knew it was Keanu because when the guy recommended “Drive” Keanu reacted by going “Woah dude, EXCELLENT!” and bust out some air-guitar.

​@teh one Keep in mind this was near 20 years ago now, back in the age where you couldn't rent a movie without photo ID and a credit card. So at one point in time I not only had all those details on Keanu... but his mobile number as well! "Woah". Besides, if you spoke to Keanu for a good 15 minutes odd, bike helmet or not, you really wouldn't recognise him? He obviously did not have his visor down if it need be said. But yes, we had confirmed I.D... and I must say everything they say about this guy is true, just a really sweet fellow. In any event we were very fortunate that our Video Ezy was situated near the hotel where Fox Studios typically housed their talent, the same Fox Studios where they shot the prequels as well as a number of Hollywood flicks of the time, so I had meetings with a bunch of other celebs: Ewan McGregor He was in a great mood with a permanent smile on his face and rented... a great white shark documentary of all things! Rick McCallum Came in and was fairly surprised I immediately recognised him. Bit reserved but a cool chap. Natalie Portman One of my staff was such a fanboy and so nervous at attending her he forgot to give back her credit card! Which kinda worked in his favor because then she had to come back. He then begged for the CCTV surveillance of this exchange which no doubt he has to this day on some altar somewhere. Anthony Anderson This guy was hilarious! Pretty much carried on like one of his characters. When I asked him to pick a 6 digit password for his account, he went with "Only six? Hmm, ok... LILDIK!" He said this VERY loudly while looking around with a big grin. Then when he came back in the next day he ASKED to immediately be prompted for his password so he could loudly say it again. "LILDIK!" "LILDIK!" Very funny guy. Temuera Morrison Swaggered in with a tiny blonde on his arm... who was about the same physical height. I immediately praised him for Once Were Warriors and the phenomenal performance he gave. I have to admit I was probably the most starstruck by this guy. Real strength of presence at that time and just... a casually cool dude. Anyway, there are a lot of others, especially aussie locals like David Wenham, Rachel Griffiths, Craig McLachlan, Isla Fisher and not all were terribly nice, but this book is long enough. Fond memories to be sure.

Drive is an awesome movie! Good recommendation. Specially for "The Matrix" inspiration.

[@nodrama490]

Brilliant in John Wick 3! I wish his character didn’t die in the movie. What a great person ! Nice one Scott 👍

[@emilio2647]

J En I think Scott Adkins should play John's brother in John Wick Chapter 4.

[@nodrama490]

@@emilio2647 agreed!!!! that would be great!

[@andysutcliffe3915]

Its weird to have such a martial arts legend as practically a bit part in John wick. But I suppose it’s like Scott in dr strange.

Love to see a convo with the Rhee brothers, Simon and Phillip. These are amazing interviews.

[@billyshortz6033]

I second this. Best of the best movies are quality

[@sikkypunk5489]

úžasný rozhovor. naprosto skvěle se tohle video poslouchá a člověk se u toho bavil stejně dobře jako vy dva. je skvělé vidět, jak si dva legendární herci a bojovníci vyměňují své zkušenosti. a i se člověk něco víc dozví. jako rozhodně je důvod proč mám filmy s Mark Dacascos ráda. teď si jich vážím ještě víc.

[@dastoryteller8472]

God bless you Mark Dacascos and Scott Adkins..such humble souls...
