    Everybody in hollywood talks about strong female action hero, yet none of them talk about this legend, the freaking real deal.
  • @orphanpixels
    Hong Kong gave Cynthia more respect than Hollywood ever did.
  • @major505
    Scott Adkins still having the pics with Cinthya is the sweetest thing ever.
  • @mobiusone4213
    she's truly the OG Queen, only tons of respects for this lady
  • Cynthia Rothrock would have been BADASS as Sonya Blade in the first Mortal Kombat movie.
  • @dgcmondouk8416
    She still looks good for her age she is one of the first female martial artists I use to watch back in the VHS days lol
  • @mmayan
    Scott, I’m a faded martial artist, but with your interviews you are reawakening the old obsessive martial artist in me. Thank you for that.
  • @ComicArtiste
    How gorgeous is this woman though, she still looks absolutely stunning as ever. Such an incredibly talented martial artist.
  • @stevemann6528
    When people talk about strong female characters Cynthia always came to mind.
  • @YacDiesel
    Amazing interview. Cynthia is one of the greatest action stars of all time and does not get nearly as much recognition as she deserves!
  • @hsuilung8960
    she looks like a doll she sounds like a bird she fights like a dragon. cheerful and always humble I'm a fan
  • Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!! What a fantastic job you are doing rescuing the memories of martial artists from 80s and 90s! I've watched all the episodes and wating for more and more! Richard Norton and now Cynthia Rotrock...impossible not remembering "Rage and Honor"! I'm from Brazil so Mark Dacascos is a kind of an idol for us since "Only The Strong"... Like you are since Undisputed 3! Awesome job man! Congratulations!
  • @G3niusCat
    Okay Scott, here's the deal...When all this COVID nonsense is over, we're gonna need you to take The Art of Action to the next level and do this in a full studio setup because you're really onto something here. I'm talking about the martial arts version of Variety's Actors on Actors. You may be able to punch a man's soul into the next life, BUT you really have a smooth interview style and demeanor and it demands to be explored further. These interviews are great and there are so many forgotten actors in this genre that have amazing stories to tell and you are the one to tell it.
  • @BrendonLee
    These two have so much chemistry together. Someone should put them in a buddy cop movie.
  • @pikachus5m166
    The greatest female action movie star by far. Her martial arts hand to hand, weapons combat skills, acrobatic stunt performances are unrivaled. I'm surprised Cynthia never starred with Jackie.
  • @NevTheDeranged
    It'll be a crime if she doesn't get an Expendables part.
  • @fuzz7981
    Richard Norton and now Cynthia. You are spoiling us, Scott. Thanks for putting this series together, I can imagine it means a lot to many.
  • @HishamofJapan
    OMG I was literally in love with Cynthia Rothrock back in the days.
  • @MJ-jc6ys
    Scott's interviewing skills are off the charts. He's so natural and makes to looks this so easy but interviewing other person and allowing them to bring out the best of themselves is harder than it looks. Obviously, the fact that he, like all of us, is in love with Cynthia, makes the task a bit easier.
