There are far too many Scott Adkins fans out there to ignore. With the success of the Undisputed movies and Boyka in terms of fan reception, it’s hard to ignore who the next big action / martial arts movie star needs to be – our man Scott Adkins!
With the release of Expendables 2, it was exciting to see that Scott Adkins was finally going to show off his stuff in a massive action movie and hopefully be given the attention he deserves. While the movie absolutely rocks, one thing annoyed me – Scott Adkins has been pushed into the background somewhat.
His fight scenes are well done, his onscreen presence is fantastic, yet he doesn’t make most of the promotional posters and gets short, tiny lines in the film depsite being a major villian.
Just about every review I read of a movie with Scott Adkins (including my own haha, and apart from Undisputed movies), the general consensus is ‘he is under utilised‘.
Why am I having such a whinge?
While I think the lack of sales with some Scott’s movies has a lot to do with things like internet piracy, it’s also pretty damn hard to buy his movies.
His biggest films (Undisputed 2 & Undisputed 3 etc) are available in the US, but are hard to find anywhere else, there’s little to no merchandise of his most famous character Boyka (I tried to buy a Boyka shirt online, you think I could find an official one?). So I’d say the movie executives don’t see the potential that is quite obviously there.
What can we do?
Not a hell of a lot – besides make a shitload of noise!
We’ve got Facebook & Twitter and Social platforms that make this all possible, so I say let’s get as many likes as possible and make some god damn noise!
Jump on Facebook to make a difference.
Scott Adkins for batman……absolutely perfect!
Man he would be the perfect batman and Bruce Wayne. What a reboot it would be if he was picked for this role. I wished it was something we could do to get Wbs attention about Scott

Scott Adkins is what the west has been looking for, his Martial Arts skills are up there with the best of them, and adding to an earlier comment he should consider remaking some of the classics to list a few Bloodsport (Van Damme), Kickboxer (Van Damme),
Cyborg (Van Damme), The Octogan (Chuck Norris), King of the Kickboxers (Loren Avedon) Road House (Patrick Swayze) to name a few and I put my little wist to each of them I have loads of ideas in my head……Scott Adkins would shine by far one of the BEST martial artist out there……and if I had the money I would be involved in making movies with Scott in the lead………………
Is it just me or did he just look like Adam Jensen (Deus Ex Human Revolution PS3) in The Expandables 2? If they would make a movie out of this – which would be awesome – he would be the perfect choice to play the leading role.
Totally man! They look pretty alike 🙂
Scott Adkins should play batman in movies. They can make it like the comic book batman with Scott Adkins in it. I want to see that so they can make a red hood movie. They can also put michael jai white in the as the ninja from batman school who kills batmans master. I think Scott Adkins would fit this movie well.
i have been saying this shit for years bro……….he is the perfect fit for batman/bruce wayne
Im not so sure his fighting skills would stand out as much with him wearing a cape…IMO…
I want to see scott adkins do a cage fighting movie like circle of pain but his own story
HOLA A TODOS SI HAY QUE HACER RUIDO SOY MUY RUIDOSA, ACA EN ARGENTINA SE LO CONOSE A SCOTT POR INVICTO 2 YA QUE LOS FANATICOS SE RE ENGANCHARON CON EL PERSONAJE DE YURI BOYKA, LUEGO VINO INVICTO 3, Y EXPLOTO A UN PERSONAJE INCREIBLE, QUE DE LA ALTANERIA EN INVICTO 2, SE CALLO Y SE LEVANTO COMO EL AVE FENIX QUE RESURGIO DE SUS PROPIAS SENISAS, ASI LLEGO AL MEJOR LUCHADOR Y ES UNA HISTORIA QUE NECESITA MÀS VERSIONES PORQUE ES UN VERDADERO LUCHADOR EN TODO SENTIDO DE LA VIDA Y COMO TODA FANZ @__@ QUIERO ++++++…

Actually, I was discussing Marvel movies with some of my co-workers yesterday (I work at a movie theater, mind you) and I immediately thought of Scott Adkins as the perfect choice for Iron Fist. I see Luke Cage as a bit more of a brawler, so Terry Crews might be a better fit, but Michael Jai White as Cage? I can definitely see that.
I sometimes thought about the the same thing, but he doesn´t fit the character. Iron fist should be younger and a less muscular than Scott is. But he definetely could be his classic foe Steel Serpent
Scott not Boyka but Scott! is definitely the most complete fighter in the world. Hes Jacked! Shredded but muscular too and his martial art abilities are best on market ever! Hes also a good actor (not just muscles) as I have seen in El Gringo, which I enjoy very much. He needs to get bigger/ main roles and do more action stuff. And he must stop playing in movies with Van Damme, this guy already destroy his career and he will destroy Scotts as well :/
Scott is definitely da man! I think we have a potential James Bond-in-waiting here. And imagine if they ever got the new DESTROYER movie off the ground. What a Remo he’d make! Or Mack Bolan, THE EXECUTIONER … yes, more starring roles for Scott, definitely!!
Haha, an awesome martial arts James Bond. He’s definitely got the class for a role like that… 🙂
good man in sports
estoy de cuerdo, que es un especialista en paralelas y artes marciales y en la ecenisia deberia tener papeles de un combo adecuado para su entrenamiento, de agente o policia de las calles de un barrio chino, ruso, italiano o japones, pero sin desperdiciar ninguno de sus movimientos¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
They should remake some classics like bloodsport, kickboxer etc with Scott in the lead role!
Can you imagine Bloodsport with Scott? 😀 Damn it would be something XD
i think scott should show off his skills think about a marvel film Iron Fist a team up with Michael Jai White as Luke Cage
Another Micheal Jai White and Scott Adkins film would rock. Especially in a big budget Marvel movie, mixed with good martial arts it’d rock 🙂
