Honestly, one of the best interviews that Mr. Adkins has put on his channel. Loved listening to JJ's insights into martial arts, action choreography, stuntwork, and directing. The behind the scenes stories were awesome as well! I can see why JJ got into this business, he's got a ton of energy. Totally hyped up after watching! Please bring him on again!

I think Scott would be great for Batman with the stunts he can do, but to bad WB won't hire him.
I love these "lesser known" interviewees and getting such great behind the camera anecdotes and insight!
Jason Statham, Gary Daniels, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, would love to see these interviews!

With a rare few exceptions like Seagal, the vast majority of the people he's interviewed for this series seem very sincere, humble and polite - I think the discipline and self knowledge required to really be a skilled martial artist plays a part in that.

i just watched Bloodsport 3 again. I'm not a TKD guy, but I recognized this style from JJ immediately. Too bad that his Army obligations kept him from being in Lionheart, but the man seems to be doing well :)
Scott Adkins is the best in any kinds of roles.. best fighter, best actor, best interviewer, best man of man .. He's awesome guy Love you Scott Adkins...
Great interview, Scott! I’ve been a stuntman for twenty years and have worked along side JJ many times. -Always looked up to him. Solid dude, for sure!

Is it me or is Scott Adkins a class act? Really he should be the next James Bond or Batman.
Great Episode I’m a BIG FAN of J.J work.
JJ "Loco" Perry! It's gonna be awesome!
The insights we mere mortals get from watching guys like JJ talk with Scott about the movies and fight scenes, what's going on in their minds, is beyond useful. This is a fantastic series and the fans thank you for doing it.
Scott, you’re such a legend man. I wish nothing but the greatest for you. I love your humility and positive energy. I need to see you more on the big screen sir, you’re amazing.

It was the best out of Jason's films.
Stunt men are such heros man and you never get to see their faces. There is a big debate to include them into the oscars
I didn't knew how much JJ has actually done for the action genre, or film in general. This guy knows his stuff! Great guest, had a ton of fun watching this interview.
I can't stop watching these interviews! I'm now seeing interviews from guys that I didn't know and I'm absolutely loving to learn from all these badasses!🤘
JJ Perry is definitely a passionate human being; his ideas and enthusiasm just spills. Thanks for the interview @scottadkins
This is my new favourite series on KZread
2 years later almost to the day, DAY SHIFT arrives and the band is back together 🥳🥳🥳
Totally respect JJ's energy/humor; passion from youth till now? Can't go wrong. Bang up job mate.
This series is amazing! So glad Scott is doing this.
This show is hilarious at times and historic all the way through. Thank you for doing this. You are putting all the people involved in action in the forefront like they should be.
Wow! J. J. has a lot of energy. He has worked a lot behind the scenes in Hollywood. Fun interview.
One of my favs. This JJ guy has a heart of gold.
Although I don't have enough time to watch anything else like TV or any entertainment , I am so interested in watching your interviews , they are so COOL ! Good job Mr. Adkins !😍💖 Love you from Iran 🇮🇷🙈
This is one of the best interviews in the series. JJ seems like such an awesome dude and his work is really great.
Awesome interview Scott !!! I trained with J.J. at TKD West in the early 1990s. He is the real deal , always has been, always will be.
I don't know about you guys but I would love to see Mark Dacascos, the charisma on that guy is phenomenal

Only ones that I don't expect is Li and JCVD. As you remember while working things out on Assassin Games with JCVD, Scott was not happy with JCVD behavior on Border Patrol (their first film), where JCVD reduced the final fight to a quick punch up where he won somehow when it was supposed to be a proper showdown. And while they have praised each other since Expendables 2 and Assassin Games, it never felt trully genuine. And even Michael Jai White mentioned on one of the episodes that JCVD did the same with his fight in UniSol 2. As for Jet Li, this one I just don't feel like it is happening. Happy to be wrong on these two.

This is an amazing interview, Scott and it certainly deserves way more likes. Hearing JJ talk about his life experience is so interesting. I had no idea he worked on so many movies.
Possibly my favorite interview until now.
What a guy! Genuinely great human being, I am with you, JJ. Never grow up. Scott and JJ: Great guys and fighters. love Undisputed 2. BOYKA!
Love these interviews Scott,Keep them coming. I am one of your biggest fans from Kentucky. I hope to meet you some day sir.
This is gold. I could have listened to this for another hour.
From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your stories. I've always been a martial arts and movie fan growing up because of movies like these. But after watching your interviews - I have even more respect for what you guys do. Thank you so much!
These guys are great. So much fun to listen to these storys.
Scott Adkins as the big bad in John Wick 4!
Scott Adkins for me no.1 New era fight action movie. See today Legacy of Lies. Good movie. 👌😊. Bravo Scott. 🖐
Watched ot for the 2nd time, Art of Action is the best action discussion series ever.. The legends you bring are🔥🔥
Wow this man was apart of alot of classics and Ive never heard of him. This a great series Scott
Awesome video guys I missed the days in Bulgaria... Working on the tournament with yous was priceless good to see your both well. Steven
This series of long interviews is the best. Please do one with Cynthia Rothrock.
He's so an awesome human being, the way he speaks like just getting started although he is one of the most complete stunt person in the industry. so with you Scott. lot's of love and respect for both of you.
😮 Wow JJ Perry... Exellent interviews Scott...
Excellent segment with JJ is brilliant.
Hi, Scott and JJ. JJ you were in the role of Scorpion and Sub-zero? I'll tell you a funny story. My friend had a dream that he was in mortal Kombat. When a man half dressed as a Scorpion and half as a Sub-zero stands there, he goes up to him and asks: "So who are you, Scorpion or Sub-zero?" he took off his mask and said, " I'm JJ Perry!!! "
Wow that was great! JJ mentioned Gary Daniels! I'd love an interview with him!
JJ is great) Respect him. Thank you, Scott for this interesting video!
Nice work Scott I'm watching from Nigeria
What I love about Scott is he is a true martial arts movie fanatic, we are of the same era and have basically the same taste in action films and Scott really knows his shit
This interview with JJ needs more views. He's a legend, and so positive about everything.
Lateef Crowder is one of my favorite action stuntman in the industry
Love it!!! Two legends!!!
I as well as many others really look forward to Scott's' interviews. He's such a good listener too. Just got Legacy of Lies dvd today in the post. Very good movie!! Still like the Boyka movies and one of my favs is Avengement. Nothing ruins that guy not even napalm. lol He's brilliant and great in everything. Have almost all of his movies. Just ordered the Tournament didn't know about that one. 💪👊
I'd like to see you talk with Jet Li as soon as posible💪💪💪
I mean the dude was in mortal kombat how can you NOT like him
This guy is a man of his word. He said he gots Scott Adkins and he did. In his directorial debut Scott is has been cast wow. JJ Loco Perry you had my small attention now you have my full attention
I really like the way Scott and his guest discuss the camera angles and catching the real action. It truly impresses me this is the the best interview yet.
15:43 "karate bums" has to be one of the best descriptors I've heard in a long while
Best episode so far JJ seems an awesome guy
I cant wait for you to invite Van Damme :))
JJ is the fucking man. Such a great guy, super talented and awesome personality. Could listen to him all day
In Hollywood, actors often say, they loved every co-actor and everything was just a blast. Sometimes, they don't seem very genuine. But the people you bring on screen, Scott, are just so truly passionate about what they do. And even better: No ego. They are just the nicest people revealing interesting stuff about the action business. How about Chan or Hung?
Can’t wait to see Scott in John Wick 4!!! ❤
This is the best interview yet
Nice show with magnificent host legend who brings others legendary men in martial arts
Cool interview ! JJ Perry has some great stories and seems like a friendly guy !
I've been watching this series. Not cuz of nostalgic feels or my curiosity about martial art and action cinema. But I suddenly realized that I also watching cuz these interviews are soooo wholesome and peaceful. I loved it. What gentlemen these guys are. True inspiration! Fighters ain't have to be jerks, being tough ain't suppose to be also being mean. And these gentlemen show that nicely.
I am really loving these videos. There are so many people I would love to see. I can't wait to see who Scott gets next

Thank God someone said those 2 second shots are just too much for our brains!! Like some of the trailers!! They make me crazy they are so here there and everywhere in like 6 seconds but I guess that’s why it’s a trailer lol This is great conversation and a lot of learning for people like me who didn’t grow up in Hollywood. Thanks Scott!!!👍🏻👊🏻💪🏻
That was so much to fun to watch!
Wow the type of enthusiasm that doesn't count time, money and effort. Just pure adrenaline and the fun of working. Pretty hard core stuffs. They are really pioneers in this field. The American donnie Yen I would refer JJ. Very humble too. You're very lucky to have such connection. Scott@
One of the BEST interviews yet, and thanks so much Scott! Hope you and J.J. can work together again soon...maybe on the return of Yuri Boyka?
Thanks a million for all of these! As someone who is a middle - aged it is motivating stuff. Thank you.
Lovely conversation between the two guys....loved to know a lot more about J.J.Perry....man behind scenes. I would love to see Vidyut Jamwal with Scott here....another great martial artist
