"Ip Man 4" villain Chinese interview I have loved Hong Kong action movies since I was a child

Donnie Yen's last Kung Fu film, Ip Man 4, has grossed over 400 million yuan at the domestic box office since its release on the 20th of this month. Scott Adkins, the action actor who plays the villain in Ip Man 4, released an interview video on his personal YouTube channel, in which he expressed his deep affection for Hong Kong action films.

Atkins said that he was inspired by Hong Kong films in his childhood, especially the works of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Yuen Woo-ping.

"The first movie I watched, I really liked "Royal Sister 4", directed by Yuen Woo-ping. It was shot in Hong Kong, and it had great fight scenes. You see the fight scenes on the rooftops. I think of this movie when I look out the window in Hong Kong. Now to be here with Donnie Yen, not only acting on the screen, but also with Yuen Woo-ping as the fight instructor, it's incredible.

It is very difficult to shoot martial arts, especially Hong Kong action movies, which are the best standards in the world. Yuan Heping is very demanding. It is a difficult task for me to meet the requirements. (Have you ever tried to get hit?) Of course, in order to bring a better action experience, I said yes. But I am still very happy to do so. Frankly speaking, Wing Chun is very tricky, with a lot of straight punches and continuous straight punches, which are very fast. It is even faster when thrown by Donnie Yen. "

Scott Atkins was born in the UK in 1976. He has starred in films such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Ninja 2", "City of War 3", "City of War 4", "Assassination Game", etc. He has had duel scenes with Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Wu Jing and others.
