Scott Adkins on his Twitter he published a link to a video with questions and answers, which he was asked to film Nik, fan site administrator. The questions are interesting, the quality of the video and sound is good, the translation is present.
Is there any chance of an Undisputed 4 coming out?
Scott Adkins: Yes, I 3% want to be in it. Isaac Florentine wants it, he has a great script. But the problem is that “Undisputed XNUMX” did not make enough money, and the main reason is that a huge number of people downloaded the film for free, so if you are one of them, then “thank you” and may you do the same “lucky”... Although... we discussed this topic, and I really want the film to be made, I strive for this, and... I think... it will happen... in the near future. So don't lose hope.
Scott, you are the main character of Universal Soldier 4. Will this film be your best film so far?
Scott Adkins: Well, it's hard to say until you actually see the movie itself... you know... the final product, but I'm pretty sure it will happen because John Hyams is a great director, one of the best in the world. It's got a great vision, a great style, it doesn't hold back, it's a strictly rated movie, there's a lot of blood and action, some quality fight scenes, a really compelling storyline, and it's part horror, part action, part sci-fi, It has many different genres. I think people will be very surprised when they watch it. So yes, he may well be the best, very possible, I hope so.
I want to ask, there are a lot of great fights in your films. Which one is your favorite?
Scott Adkins: Well, I'll say it's Undisputed 3. The final fight is between me and Marco Zaror. It's my favorite. I like it because it's long, 7 minutes, something like that. There is also a substory to it. Marco was a great villain, a great actor. And, of course, the characters were quite complex. It takes someone like Marco to handle this. The reason is that I usually don't have such long takes in fights. And we did this because we didn’t have time to shoot, and when you move the camera, you have to change the lighting again, that’s what takes a lot of time, it just “kills”. So we came up with the idea that we would film the fights in big long parts and takes, so we could film more. And that was the reason. But the job was done well, Marco is great, and he's a great guy.
I think the second one was my fight in Undisputed 3 with Lateef [Crowder], because this guy... he's incredibly tough, he's very fast, and I just tried to keep up with him, it was kind of a learning curve for me. I'm really grateful to these guys, and Ilrom [Choi], for agreeing and working on this film, because they could have done other things that probably would have paid them a lot more, but they liked what we made. with Isaac (note: referring to Undisputed 2), so they did us a favor with that.
When will you work with Donnie Yen? You are slowly becoming a major action star. Could you two act in something together? Good luck.
Scott Adkins: Thank you. Well, when I work with Donny, I don't know, I'll have to ask Donny about it. Donnie, if you can hear me, I want to work with you! I know you said you were going to retire in about two years or something, so please let's do that. You are the best martial arts movie star of our time.
Could you please tell me the best way to learn how to do a somersault?
Scott Adkins: Well, Robert, my best advice is to go to a gymnastics club.
Scott Adkins: This is a good question:
Which is correct: “Uri Boyka” or “Yuri Boyka”?
Scott Adkins: Well, the first option. "Uri". There is no letter “Y” in “Uri Boyka”. I don't know where this second option came from, I think someone updated IMDB with their version of the pronunciation of my name, but it's wrong. To be honest, I don’t know exactly how to pronounce this name, but according to the script for “Undisputed 2” that I had, it was pronounced as “U”, “R”, “I”. "Uri Boyka"
[question from a man named Andy Andy]
Scott Adkins: Cool name!
Scott, I would love to see a fight between you and Tony Jaa. What do you think of it?
Scott Adkins: Well, I think that's good. I mean, Tony Jaa and Donnie Yen are the best at the moment, and I would love to work with Tony Jaa, without a doubt, but I wouldn't want to just show up and go all out, if you know what I mean. I, therefore, there must be the correct balance [of forces]. In this regard.
I would like to know what it's like to work and communicate with the legend that is Dolph Lundgren?
Scott Adkins: Yeah, man. Dolph is cool. Dolph is very cool. A very nice guy, not selfish, and a fun guy himself, always jokes, doesn’t take himself too seriously. In “Universal Soldier 4” he will once again push everyone into the background; he will certainly do it again. Yeah, he's a great guy, I hope to work with him again.
Do you like carrots?
Scott Adkins: Yes, I really do. Useful thing. [mocks Mark Ivanir from Undisputed 3]
Scott Adkins: I can't see anything in the dark. So that's it. I have answered your questions. Thanks to Nick for taking care of my fan site and my Facebook page. I appreciate everything you do for me. I'm currently filming a movie called El Gringo in Baton Rouge. This is a modern western/comedy/action film, a little different from the rest, but the director is good, it will be interesting. Universal Soldier 4 will be released sometime early summer next year. It's going to be a great, crazy movie. And “Assassination Games” just came out, it recently appeared in the United States, you can watch it through “video on demand” (VOD). I think it's coming out on DVD in September and in other countries like England in October, so I hope you enjoy it, it's a good film. Okay guys, thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

Hello Mr. Adkins! Having been involved in martial arts for more than 10 years, I want to say a huge thank you to you, because you have become an inspiration for me. Not being able to participate in competitions (I have epilepsy), I am improving myself and am eager to achieve more. I have no regrets, except for one thing, it’s a pity I don’t have a Sensei like you, and I don’t have the opportunity to train with you for at least a month! For a month of such training, if I could, I would give 10 of my years! Thank you! You give me the strength to live and train further!
"John Hyams is a great director, one of the best in the world"
I'm screaming!))))) Calling such an asshole a great director is stupid to say the least
Laughed heartily: “after all, John Hyams is a great director, one of the best in the world.” You have to be so flattering))
Correction: not DVDRip, but Screener.
Offtop
“Tactical force” is touching in its stupidity)))
The fights are very mediocre, thought M.D. White will at least make them worthwhile.
Because of this, I’m looking forward to “Never Give Up 2” with horror... ))))))))))))))))
Offtopic: filming of the action movie “The Butcher” / “Six Bullets” will most likely start on August 20th.
Offtopic: Van Damme, unfortunately, was not present at the international martial arts tournament that took place yesterday in Sochi.

Sasha, thank you. It's a pity that the battles turned out to be very weak. I thought it would be better. Although it was already clear from the trailer that the film and action were weak.
Thank you. I won’t have the opportunity to watch the film any time soon; I’m not sure whether there will be any seeds by then. Of course I would like to watch the DVD version with uncut edges. Once you finish watching, please write back about the battles.
Ilya, don’t worry, I uploaded it to the exchanger. I missed the second part - there are few fights, repetitions in the style of Jackie Chan, it was filmed cheaply, the force of the blows is not felt, it was almost always duplicated, and some moments in the battles can make you break your stomach from laughing. You can watch it, but only for Smur's sake, although his role is small, and he was clearly holding back and he worked his legs VERY SLOWLY and feignedly. The only thing I liked was the trick with jumping down the balconies. If this was done wirelessly, then respect to the stuntman.
I don't have the opportunity to watch the film right now. Save it for me, please. Did you watch it yourself? How are the fights?
Ok, I'll save it. I only managed to watch the first half, there were no fights...
The film IN IDEA should have already been released, BUT in Moscow I found only a couple of night screenings from the 6th in ONE cinema of the Karofilm network "Pike" and then... now they have disappeared + on one of the sites they promise to show Kill Again... but in September. This is such bullshit.
You can ask about sessions in Russia here http://www.facebook.com/afterdarkfest?sk=info#!/afterdarkfest?sk=info
Offtopic: who needs Black Street Running (VCD), please contact us.
Guys, is Re-kill already out???
Looks like it was supposed to appear today...
I think Celpaso should be aware.
Thank you, Sasha, for the translation!
My pleasure. =)
Offtopic: Van Damme will still attend tomorrow's fighting tournament in Sochi.

Thanks for the translation. I agree Donnie and Jaa are the best at the moment, I'm surprised that Scott thinks so too and treats them with respect. Bravo.
Thanks for Tactical Force and the interview! I'm already downloading it and will watch it right away!!
“Waiting for almost a year for a universal soldier? Why is it so long, they’ve already taken it off”
A year is a normal period for a film; Assassination Games was filmed in August last year, it was released in limited release on July 29, and will be released on DVD in the fall. And Unisol was filmed for 4-2 months, it will be processed for another 4 months, and then they will negotiate with distributors + I’m sure the creators will try to release it in theaters, which means serious negotiations will be held with distributors. As a result...I think in the fall we will see the first official shots from the film, a teaser/trailer will be released around winter, and in the summer the film itself will be released.
Offtopic: “Tactical Force” with Jay White and Steve Austin appeared online
I posted the video “FIT FOREVER” so that everyone who is interested can watch it =)
The book is published on August 9 in Sweden!

Valera, what are you talking about? Speaking of translation, I don’t understand Swedish. ;)
Who knows what's going on with the action movie Re-Kill? Looks like it was released...in theaters???
Thank you very much!
Just in case, I want to say that phrases, such as “shoot yourself in the leg”, etc., are not translated literally. These are idiomatic expressions.
