    His role in John Wick 4 was so well acted that I did not even know it was him until after the movie. Really well done!
  • @Vesperitis
    Killa's laugh is burned into my brain. It's so silly and campy and completely at odds with the tone of the rest of the movie that it's instantly iconic.
  • So happy to see him on a roll. A true underdog success story. Well done, Scott. You deserve all the continued success!
  • @GT-wo2oj
    I bumped into Scott few weeks ago in London. I waved at him and he took his headphones off and said hi. I told him that I saw JW4 just 2 days ago (which I had) and what a great performance he gave. I said “honestly, you were so great in it, really created a character!” He said “pretty good in a fat suit yea?” gave me a smirk, and thanked me for my kind words. Really gracious and down to earth guy. Really good of him to give me his time and be such a gent.
  • @culler2239
    You know a movie is legit in terms of action when it has legends like Donnie Yen , Keanu , Scott, Hiroyuki Sanada and Marko Zaror. Best action film of the decade I dare say.
  • @kabrandt22
    Scott is really on a roll. Great to see him getting more recognition. His Art of Action show is the greatest thing on YouTube.
  • His performance as Killa, among all of the amazing performances in Chalter 4, was one of my favorites. I was genuinely shocked by how good he was because I only ever vaguely knew of him doing lower budget films. He killed it as Killa.
  • @Starwebs
    I’m glad he finally got his time to shine!
  • @benmuench5926
    The fact that a professional martial artist shows so much respect for Keanu’s level of skill in martial arts is wonderful to see.
  • @brewcrewbill
    The Bruce Wayne we all deserve but will probably never get :(
  • @99Drema99
    Phenomenal actor, so much knowledge too. Can't wait to see him in a leading role, hope this movie shoots him to the top.
  • @jubse8991
    Scott Adkins should be cast as Johnny Cage in MK 2 🔥👌🏽
  • @Xerkrosis
    The scenes with Killa were hypnotizing. Maybe it was also because of the music, the lighting and the set. This entire part kept you on edge! Like a tense calm before the storm
  • Thank you to everyone giving Scott Adkins the recognition he so well deserves! Love you dude ❤
  • @Gold6240
    I'm glad Scott Adkins is finally getting some recognition. He seems like a fantastic guy, highly skilled and down to earth!
  • @Luke101
    He was incredible in JW4. Very memorable character and even in that fat suit, his fighting was exceptional. Hope this gets Scott into more mainstream projects!!
  • The most underrated actor/action star in Hollywood. Scott has deserved this opportunity for at least a decade. I hope this sees him moving to even greater things.
  • @lonelycubicle
    His part in John Wick 4 was my favorite … loved how was shown at first as over weight and slightly uncoordinated but then turns out to be a lethal fighting machine, just hilarious, especially the high kicks.
  • @SlappyChop
    Avengement is Scott Adkins best movie. Absolutely brutal and intimidating. I'd love to see him in more big budget movies so he can really shine. But we all know he'll always be Boyka in our hearts.
  • @mikecolts21
    I really appreciate Scott’s artistry and level he does it 🙌🏾
