The Art of Action - Lateef Crowder - Episode 30

[@jaewongzero]

It's long overdue, we need a Capoeira themed movie starring Lateef.

[@UnwittingMango]

Mark Dacascos said he was trying to put something together with his teacher from Only the Strong, Amen Santos, and Lateef.

[@karstedt9987]

@@UnwittingMango It's so cinematic, it's shocking it hasn't been featured more.

[@metal13panda76]

Yes i agree

[@pilotperry4525]

I was thinking the same. I've been thinking a lot about a martial arts film set around the Caribbean.

[@jjartes]

it's a dream, but it can be a reality one day

[@Milowvc]

Scott and Lateef deserve to be in more Hollywood action movies, they are so underrated, they should be at the same level as Jason Statham👍

[@andukaruchiha4302]

But maybe that's the beauty of it?

[@shahwiqarshahin2130]

See Scott Adkin's interview with Joey Ansah for why this is the case. Actor's ambitions vs Stuntmen.

[@evanwashington6959]

They better than him

[@atharvanaiksb0807]

Exactly man

[@viewmaster617]

The better off without Hollyweird imo💯

[@edgyquinn7223]

I love how this is my first time hearing Lateef's voice in English. Just as clear as expected

[@shirimetsuritsuryu]

You and me both. I had been following him since he was in the Zero Gravity stunt team doing short films with them and he never spoke till now. Least not english

They sure don't its shameful

[@MrTagalish]

"Hollywood" only wants "big names" "bankable" stars. These guys are considered B-level action stars/stunt guys.. "Hollywood" wants the "Ryan Reynolds" "Mark Walberg" "Dwayne Johnson" even though they probably don't do their own stunts. "Hollywood" hires these guys too make those guys look good.

Hollywood only wants big names

[@foreign_maddogmamorris809]

[@Prince-Shogun]

Man Lateef should be in more movies, and with Scott and Michael Jai White!

[@richb5477]

💯

[@antoniochapman3986]

They should do a Bloodmoon reboot with Scott Adkins/Michael Jai White/Amy Johnston/Marko Zaror/Lateef Crowder it would be freaking BADASS with Adkins as Ken O'Hara White as Chuck Baker Johnston as Kelly Zaror as the martial arts killer Crowder as Eddie Cunningham with Isaac Florentine directing it would be fucking AWESOME.

[@Prince-Shogun]

@@antoniochapman3986 that's going to be costly!

[@Prince-Shogun]

@Jay Ryan I know, I wish to see more of them in more movies!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I think lateef crowder was on an episode of fight science and out of all martial arts his kick was the most deadly and had the most force. But it was just the 1 type of kick, Bren Foster also had one of the deadliest kicks. Would like to see Bren Foster on here because he's a beast too

[@rastanz]

This is no interview, it's more like two bro's just catching up... great stuff man!!!

[@bboyStuntZ]

Yep. Scott said he's doing these interviews mainly for himself. So that's probably why it seems like that

[@RJ-is9ko]

Old times

[@ScenicFights]

Great episode! Scott always brings the best out of his guest. Lateef Crowder is so bad ass and is a pioneer in bringing capoeira to the silver screen.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

eddy from tekken was actually inspired by lateef crowder, just let that sink in

[@GrowingDownUnder]

@@welcometothemovies9157 ok so apparently I was wrong but he was actually eddy gordon in the tekken movie he played the character of eddy still cool

[@eduardosantanagomes3260]

🇧🇷 O primeiro cara foi Mark Dacascos com o mestre Amen Santo em Esporte Sangrento (1993)! Mas o Lateef Crowder dos Santos sem dúvida é o grande expoente atual! 🇺🇲 The first guy to bring it to the big screen was Mark Dacascos along with master Amen Santo in Only The Strong (1993), but Lateef Crowder dos Santos is the Capoeira greatest exponent today!!

[@andrewbazzell7137]

Lateef definitely helped but his mestre Amen Santos was the first.

[@walterbishop1697]

Lateef is one of those amazing talents that should be a star, just like Scott.

[@EMR80]

I agree he needs to be a leading actor in a movie of his own.

[@jacobjamir4325]

Both my icon and my legend sitting and catching up together. ❤❤ My respected legends. Love you guys. God bless.

[@Jeimedia]

Later Crowder also gave a credit to Africans from Congo, Nigeria and other parts. What a humble man! The interview today was also historical for them that love history. Credits to this underrated legend 🤺

[@kungfuman82]

I mean, no duh? That’s where Capoeira originated from. Is a karateka humble for saying the art came from China?

[@stigtuneback1966]

Lateef seems so humble in the interview here with scott compared to his angry expression in falcon rising he did with michael jai white , of course it was his character and role play in the movie , but anyway seem like a great guy social .

[@Jeimedia]

@@kungfuman82 Read more about Karate before embarrassing yourself. I guess you are one of the rubbish people in the society. All the inventions made by black people have been credited to the white society. If you want to know how Europe became first world countries, check the history of Sugar plus the introduction of Transatlantic Slave trade. No one speaks about that while walking in the streets of Lisbon, London, France, Los Angeles and other developed nations. Anyway. We are not a historian YTB channel; we are interested in Martial Arts. Goodluck with your hatred

[@Jeimedia]

@@stigtuneback1966 I guess it's also because Scott is such a gentleman, highly talented and yet so humble unlike MJW (No offence). We are a fan of all the martial artist in the world

[@mitchclement3773]

[@Kay8B]

Slow down there, I love Lateef but he doesn't touch Jackie....

[@jonathanmora8208]

Naaa Lateef is on higher level in martial arts but Jackie is on higher level in stunt work

[@anonamemous6865]

I'm gonna say jackie has reached his peak but this dude is great honestly... He really makes the movie amazing and pleasing to the eyes

[@artofmartialcinemaamc5334]

@Lars Kursh I really want him to be Cyrax in a MK movie/franchise but not in the new BS they got going on. If they did another reboot by 2024 or 2025, they could do it right but definitely don't want him or other big name actors to be in that nonsense.

You hit the nail on the head, especially with power. Years ago, Mr. Crowder was featured on an episode of National Geographic's "Fight Science". His kicks measured more power than the Tae Kwon Do master he was featured with

I will never forget when I saw Lateef and Tony Jaa and remembered seeing fluidity in martial art stunt fighting. I just love Lateef signature moves. Another good interview by Scott. Marvel/ DC studios Put Lateef, Michael Jai, and Scott into new projects ASAP 😎

Sou fã do Lateef Crowder dos Santos. E de Scott Adikins❤❤💪👊👏👏👏👏👏

[@dartharaneus67]

That 3 way fight scene in Falcon Rising was great, but my favorite bit with Lateef in that movie was the street fight with him against some punk, with his cops buddies watching. I loved that scene because Lateef used a more street fighting type of capoeira, with more arm techniques and less flashy dancing moves. It really showed how capoeira could be used more realistically as a fighting art. At the end of the fight, though, he used one hell of a sweet front cartwheel kick!

[@berrakoz353]

Lateef Crowder is the reason that I started Capoeira many years ago. This interview is a blessing.

[@meandyouplay2]

He had the strongest kick in that show about the science of fighting, and kicks were tested from different disciplines. There's an easy looking flow to his delivery, it all has to do with the transition of force through the movement, which delivers the power when making contact

[@lordoffaiyum9727]

Yes he did. Looks like dancing but the kick lands like a baseball bat
