The astute among you may recall the name Scott Adkins being tossed around a lot while we worked on solving the Deadpool Mystery.  Our final conclusion pegged the mysterious, half-naked ninja-spin-kicking dude as Deadpool as portrayed by Scott Adkins, master ass kicker.  In our search, we made friends with some people who follow Adkins’ career pretty closely and they sent us over some goodies to have a look at so I thought we’d share.  First, a video of Scott training for the starring role in Undisputed 3, a direct to video sequel in the Undisputed series that will most definitely feature Scott murdering people with his fists.

I’m a bit of an egotistical meat-head sometimes and often look at people, professional boxers, and actors and think to myself “I could take him.”  Seriously.  I’ve measured my odds against tons of people and, most likely mistakenly, assume I’ll come out on top.  But not this dude.  This is the kind of guy who looks unassuming but after watching this there isn’t a shadow of a doubt that he’d punch me in the face thirty times, spin kick me, steal my wallet, and take my girl to dinner all before I realized the fight started.

Adkins has a few properties coming up, most notable to us being the simply titled Ninja. Not too much is out surrounding the movie yet, but suffice to say Adkins is a Westerner who plays a ninja that is going to beat the hell out of people, like so:

Adkins can next be seen performing inhuman tasks without the aide of wires (most of the time) in X-Men Origins Wolverine.

  • That's an interesting piece,
    Established martial artists, like Adkins add that touch of authencity to the role they bring, even though it may limited to the ass-kickery they indulge on-screen
    Even Sebastien Foucan, who is one of the founders of the sport - Parkour (free-running) and played a bit part in Casino Royale as Mollaka, gave an authencity to the stunts that he performed, and for the short sequence he was on screen, completely eclipsed Daniel Craig's rough-and-tumble Bond.

    Damn the guy is scarry in fact o_O The kind of guy you don't mess with...
  • the man is a beast...ever since Undisputed 2 I've pegged this guy as the next action star....he also has "acting" talent which is almost unheard of in the action/stunt world...

  • Scott Adkins vs Tony Jaa; make it happen, FSR.
    Adkins shouldve been a mighty morphin' power ranger...the red one
  • .......HOLY SH*t!! lol.....thats all I got to say
  • Smojo
    Looks like a nice boy in his little kung fu pajamas - pre-orchestrated Kata aside, he'd still get his head kicked in in a street-fight if he relied on all that showey nonsense. Alright for film fantasy fights though i suppose.
  • Matt
    Um.."Smojo" w/e that is, dont that this to personally but.....Scott Adkins with rape your face with his foot. Have you seen how ripped the guy is? He doesnt even need all those tricks, hell straight up kill your ass.
  • Smojo
    Lol@Matts comments: a) - I never said I'd fight him, I said he pre-orchestrated kata means nothing in a streetfight. Lmao@ "look at how ripped he is" - its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog - stick this pretty boy in a Max Security Prison with the real hardcases and see how long he lasts.
  • What video did you watch, because I saw him training boxing and MMA. He also has six black belts, including ones in judo and jujitsu. Just because he can jump over a car and kick 2 guys in the face at the same time doesn't mean he can't just straight knock you out. If you want to be one of the those internet fight experts who hate martial arts and insist on "street fight training" go ahead, but you should always be wary of a guy who can kick you in the face while standing still before you could even throw your lame roundhouse punch.
