I still love Loren Avendon. He was awesome on his movies, great artist martial and great movies. But more, he had a normal shape, like a common guy and he was acting with a great sense of humor, a derision, a kind of mockery very subtil. It's why is simply outstanding ! I am sure he has a great timming for fun movies. Big up Loren !!!

I don't know about that. Growing up in the 80/90s, we grouped the top martialarts stars in 5 categories. Best Chinese hero aka good guy(Jackie), Best Chinese Villain aka the boss (Hwang Jang Lee ), Best American Hero(Loren Avendo), Best female fighter(Cynthia Rothrock) and best American villain(Franco aka Rion Hunter). This was in Nigeria when films were limited but martial art movies were abundant and we knew little of their trivia's or nationalities. Avendo was huge in Nigeria with all the others due to No Retreat No Surrender 2/3 that were huge then. Michael Dudikoff was too but he was Ninja loll. Sho Kosugi was Master Ninja of all Ninja actors then.

The King of the Kickboxers and No Retreat No Surrender 3 were the BEST HARD FIGHTS I've ever saw as a teenager. Love these 2 films! Loren Avedon always had me laughing with your energy! Thank You!

I'm definitely binge watching Loren Avedon this weekend. LOL. I'm a sucker for martial arts films from any era.

Man I love this series... Im 48 now, but it makes me feel 15 again..

I wasn't expecting Loren Avedon at all with this series, so this will be a real treat. A favorite of mine back in the days of early/mid '90s straight-to-video martial arts films.

King of the Kickboxers is one of the best western martial arts movies of all time.

Great to see Loren getting some respect. Men like him were doing a lot of good work but don't always get the recognition. Would love to see Gary Daniels!

Coming back to this video a third time 3 years later after finally meeting and training with Loren two weeks ago🙌🏿 also met and trained with Billy Blanks ,Keith Cooke, Cynthia Rothrock, Don The Dragon Wilson, Philip AND Simon Rhee. Such a tremendous honor

Scott. Martial Artist in my mid 40s. I grew up with these movies in London. On behalf of my brother and I, thank you so much. This interview sparked so many memories. Your interview has settled a lot of questions we all had back then. Thanks. Andrew

Lauren Avedon is a legend, everything he's in i love it! No other action actor or actor in general measures up to Lauren. He's not only a marshal arts wizard, but he's so funny, cool, and so so talented. if there is one actor or famous person in the world I'd go out of my way to meet at some convention or something its Lauren. Van-Damme step aside, Lauren is our true kickboxing king! I'd love to see him in more movies even if he's not the one kicking! And someone get him more subscribers on his KZread channel!

Loren Avedon is pure action. During my childhood going to cinema to watch his movies was a must. Great memories. Thanks for bringing these awesome guests, Scott. Gary Daniels, Cynthia Rothrock, Billy Blanks, Keith Vitali, Jeff Wincott, Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Phillip Rhee are incredible choices for next chapters.

I would watch this guys movies RELIGIOUSLY. Hes still is the King

Yoooo omg Loren?!!! Such a fucking legend. To this day I STILL watch No Retreat No Surrender 3 and King of Kick Boxers faithfully. Gonna get comfortable and watch the hell outta this

My total respect to my friend the máster Loren Avedon ,and the máster Scott Adkins, oss

I first saw Loren in No Retreat No Surrender 2, and was completely awestruck with his fightstyle. This interview is gold, and he is a lovely down to Earth bloke with great humour. 👍

Blood Brothers, No Retreat, No Surrender 2, King of The Kickboxers...true legend and cool guy man! Scott Adkins doing a great job bringing these real martial arts stars from back in the day! Dude is looking great!

Mr Loren Avedon , big fan here ! King of the Kickboxers , one of most underrated , amazing martial arts movie ! Loved Your action in no surrender no retreat too 😎🤘🏻🙏🏻

Catching up to the series now in 2021. I must say that when I saw that Scott had interviewed Loren, I lost my mind. The King of The Kickboxer is my absolute favorite martial arts movie from the 80s/90s. Loved this episode.

that was a fantastic interview. a huge thank you to Scott Adkins for this one. when i was a kid in the 80s and 90s i loved watching martial arts films all the time. i hope to see Scott and Loren do a film together one day.

Never really thought I'd have to prepare for hearing Scott Adkins saw "awwww".

The movies of Loren Avedon had a lot of charm and great music with cool looking fighting movies and that's why they're still entertaining to watch in 2020.

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER 2 is a great movie, and Loren Avedon is a fabulous guy!

Lorens a legend always loved his movies ..thank you for the awesome childhood

Hi Scott, this is Sajmeister. I met you in 2018 in Birmingham at the premier for Accident Man. I'm the president of Loren Avedon fan club, was great to meet you and you were so happy to see me when I said who I was.

Loren was the top 1% of screen fighters in the world. It's absolutely criminal that he hasn't done more movies.

His reputation is that he's extremely difficult to work with on set. Keith Vitali who played his brother in No Retreat No Surrender 3 is one if the nicest and gentle souls ever even Said this in his interview. Loren is awesome as a martial artist but said to be a huge diva on set, which no one likes to work with.

No Retreat No Surrender 2 is absolutely one of my favourites! Loved it back in the day and still love it now. I think that was the first VHS tape I ever bought for myself.

Damn, Loren is a genuinly great guy. And Drive is a thing of beauty. Bring on Marc.

Maybe next time you invite Keith Cooke. His kicks are very cool.

Absolutely awesome. Im 40 and ive seen these movies so many times. Such a great idea for podcast.

Scott sou FROM 🇧🇷. SOU FÃ NUMBER ONE do LOREN AVEDON des dos anos 90...assisti todos os muvies dele. Rei do kick Box..foi um marco na minha VIDA.

I loved him in the king of the kick-boxer. I was looking for Van Damme‘a Kick-boxer but the VHS rental didn’t have it and instead offered me Loren’s video. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with his kicks and loved his goofy personality. Great interview.

No Retreat 2 was my movie as a kid!! Always wonder whatever happened to this guy. Thanks brother for the interviews!!! This is awesome and you are the right guy for all of this!!!

This was a fkn treat ! Older and new Legends meeting like this talking about movies i loved back in 91 when i saw KOKB and NRNS earlier. Scott is just talking about Loren's movies as a fan and they way i felt about them, so on point about the funny acting and the 80s music which had a charm we all know and love. This is my favourite interview thus far Scott, well done m8.

King of the kickboxers was my favorite movie when I was a kid.

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Avedon seems like such a humble, chill dude. It’s always cool when someone you grew up watching turns out to have no ego. And I chuckled at his weed reference at the beginning there. Californians know what’s up! Edit: And my man’s out here giving a shout-out to “Drive” and Mark Dacascos! One of my favorite movies - maybe the best Hong Kong movie not made in Hong Kong ever. Sakamoto is a legend.

No Retreat No Surrender 2 & King of the Kickboxer’s are classics👊😎

Oh man. I loved this guy's movies as a kid!

Amazing platform. Watched King of the Kickboxers only recently for the first time. An awesome movie for its low budget humour that captures 90s martial arts and Kickboxing era really well. Didn't realise Keith Cooke is teacher too, be great to him interviewed.

Legends - these movies were my childhood, love them

No Retreat No Surrender, my very first Loren Avedon movie, and I LOOOOOOOOVED IT! Great show!

no retreat no surrender 2 is a great movie ,most people see it as an action movie and it is, but I see it as strategic management. i have been watching that movie since 1995 as a young boy and i still do today. very time i want to start a project i watch it. its like a prayer. best regards Mukuka Chenga from Zambia

Thank you Loren. We thank you for all the great fighting skills you showed us in many movies that makes you one of the most respected martial art movie star. I'm a big fan of you. Love from Bangladesh.

Absolutely love this podcast series. Great interviewing work by Scott Adkins. I met Scott while working at MCM Comic Con and he's a genuinely great guy, super nice, and awesome with fans. Really hope Chad Stahelski puts him in the next couple of John Wick films and Gareth Evans finds a spot for him in Season Two of Gangs of London. Best of luck to you Scott. Really hope you keep making these podcasts. Would love to see you speak with Gary Daniels, Oliver Gruner, Iko Uwais, Jeff Wincott, Amy Johnston, and Cynthia Rothrock, but whomever you get next I'll be watching.

Scott Adkins, I am a huge Scott Adkins fan, and more than anything else my man, I love the fact your humility and amazing screen presence, aren't seen at all, when you interview your guests, as you place all your joy and understanding upon the action hero you are interviewing! I LOVE THAT! And your knowledge of all of those you interview breaks the bank for your being one of the most learned and pleasant of interviewers! If anything comes forth as an Emmy for interviewers at large, Scott, I would vote for you as many times as I could! I like martial arts movies, because I came into martial arts : Judo and Aikido together from the same BB instructor, right after I saw the movie "Billy Jack"; then into Kenpo Karate, and although I never did receive a Dan ranking, I was never again fearful of fighting, and never was I ever the first to act, unless I was helping someone who needed it! I have loved all of your movies, Scott, especially "Avengement," which was very amazing! How long did it take for your face to heal after that movie shoot, LOL? Love you, Scott and all your work, and too, your personality is exactly what a man of your abilities should show unto the world, in my humble opinion. Good on you; keep working and making movies.

Unreal I just watched no retreat no surrender 2 the other day I still have it on vhs great old movies

Scott, you NAILED it: As silly as those movies can get, they are always silly in a way that is incredibly CHARMING. Great to see Loren looking and sounding so good. Really just enjoying the heck out of this series! Keep 'em coming! Hoping you get to talk to Cynthia and Billy sometime!

My favorite of all time

Thanks for interviewing Loren Avedon! I loved his movies back in the day! I always felt he was underrated as a martial arts movie star. The last thing I saw him in was in an episode of Sammo Hung's TV show 'Martial Law' (he didn't have a fight scene, though 😢). I always wondered what happened to him, so thanks for this! 👍👍👍

The king of kickboxers. One of my favourite movies👌

Wish he would have been given bigger roles. He deserved them more than most. Avedon was super awesome. Used to tape his movies and show them to friends. All were amazed.

Love those Seasonal Film Corporation films with Lauren & all of them..

Just discovered No Retreat, No Surrender 2 this year and I love it. What a coincidence!

I connected with Mr. Avedon, in Facebook, back in the 2010's, when Facebook was not the "thing" it is today, and, I was able to exchange a couple of messages with Mr. Avedon, where I declared my unconditional devotion to The King Of Kickboxers, which is a perfect action martial arts movie, even today. And, like wine, the older it gets, the better it gets.

First of all... I am late posting my appreciation for this series because it has left me nearly speechless! Here, we have an extraordinarily talented and beloved martial artist/action film star (Scott Adkins) interviewing many of our favorites -- legends of the craft. And Loren Avedon is here! Wow... I can't stop smiling, haha. So awesome to be alive in an era where I could see this. 🙏👌👌

King of the Kickboxers is one of the best martial arts movies eeeeeverrrr!!

Favourite movie I loved that Loren was in was King of The Kickboxer. Loved every fight scene he was in.

Watched Loren movies over and over again..

Scott Adkins and Loren Avedon, The Best Fighters...

Ohh man one of my favorit martial arts action stars growing up. No retreat no surrender, and King of the Kickboxers!

Oh my god!!....I have seen a couple of movies of Avedon when I was a kid but ive have never known his name.Man im so glad Scott's doing this whole thing.

SCOTT FREAKINGADKINS THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. I WAS THE KID IN BLOCK BUSTER RENTING WATCHING ALL OF THESE STARS AND MOVIES. SO NOSTALIGIC. I AM A FILMMAKER AS WELL AND THESE MOVIES PUCHED MY IMAGINATION. " PLEASE CHECK OUT BREATHING FIRE WITH BOLO YUENG BAD LOL SOME BAD EDITS BUT MAN THE FIGHTS

Man, Master Avedon looks really good for his age, he doesn't look that much older than he did in his prime. I'm glad to know he's doing and looking well. Master Adkins has been killing it lately with his show!

Man I am too a Loren Avedon fan Big Time,I love all his movies,some Amazing fight scenes in his movies.

Amaizing loren avedon i still love his movies i love not retreat not surrender 2

Loren Avedon and Keith Cooke taught me amazing kicking techniques in King of Kickboxers, in fact Prang's training is one of the best. Thanks Scott and thanks Loren for teaching us so much. Taekwondo For ever!!

Incredible martial artist love to see him return

I was a massive fan of the original No Retreat No Surrender film so I kind of avoided the sequels as I knew they weren't connected, but I love them now. King of the Kickboxers is probably my number 1 favourite martial arts film of all time. I rented it religiously from the video shop and I had three copies on VHS of my own. It's criminal that Richard Yuen's soundtrack to that film has never been released.

Got goose bumps i loved no retreat no surrender 3. in 2020 going to watch it back again to remind me of the good 80s movies.

amazing the respect all these guys have for each other instead of everyone with egos talking shit.

Loren Avedon is the reason I started Martial Arts

Oh mien. That was pure gold. I grew up watching Loren Avedon and was a big fan. When I first saw Scott Adkins, he reminded me of Loren. To listen to this history from both guys I admired is just pure gold. Thanks Scott for given Loren his flowers. Well deserved. 🙏🏾

Loren did great work. Has a great style. Takes me back

Wow nostalgic...yeah more movies for loren...👍👍👍👍

Loved Loren's work. Massive fan - loved this interview.

Loren Avedon is absolutely awesome. Absolutely always loved his movies.
