mate, it would be cool if you translate the video interview for us that we can read the english text. thanks.
ok, mate. These are not the exact words that Scott said just because I translated it from the Bulgarian dub (I also cannot hear the entire English speech). Here it is:
What’s the common thing between the Japanese Ninja and Bulgaria – that’s the newest production that the American company NuImage is shooting in our country. The lead is played by the charming British actor Scott Adkins. Listen to what he says:
Reporter: You are in Bulgaria for the 5th time. How do you feel in our country?
Scott: I’m used to the situation here. It’s a nice place. The stunt guys and most of crew are the same as from the other productios. I made a lot of friends.
R: Tell us about the film that you’re shooting now.
S: The film is Ninja. The Japanese Ninja returns as main hero – something that hasn’t been done since the 80’s. Then I was a great fan of the ninja movies. I’m very happy to take part in such a production now because I think it’s time the ninja got back on screen.
R: Do you have many fight scenes in the movie.
S: Yes, there are a lot of fight sequences, that may be the realest action film I’ve ever done. From 3 weeks we are shooting and we have 4 weeks left and my body needs to rest so far.
R: Do you train a lot?
S: Yes, I sprained my ankle while I was filming one of the fight scenes. We had to film this scene for 3 days and I got sprained in the first. I tied it and continued. It wasn’t easy.
R: Tell us about your passion for martial arts.
S: I started with Judo when I was 5. My father and my brother trained in a local club. I felt that I’m somehow away from the company and I started, too. That’s how my passion began. Then I trained Taekwondo, kickbox and kung fu.
R: You had screen fights with stars such as Jet Li and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Who was the most difficult to fight against and did they surprise you with anything?
S: I’ll say that Jet Li was incredible in the fight choreography. He came on the set while I was rehearsing with the action director and the stunt guys. He saw 2 times what he was supposed to do and he did it at once. It was also incredible to work with Jackie Chan. I was sitting and watching him how he was repeating one scene 36 times. I counted them. I was fascinated. These stars do their screen performance in a different way so I’m happy that I had the chance to work with them.
R: Do you enjoy other sports like football?
S: I watch football only when the national team of England is playing. I’m not a fan of any team. I didn’t even watch the Euro Cup because England didn’t qualify. The truth is that I follow only the martial arts championships.
R: Thank you!
R: Scott Adkins played the role of the ninja. Kamen Alipiev (the male reporter) dubbed Scott Adkins.
R(male): I promise you that next week we’ll be back in the studio dressed like ninjas and we’ll be again with you in 5.30 pm next Sunday. Even more that in our show in contrast to the Scott Adkins’ films there is no second retake we’re just broadcasting live. Bye.
R: See you next Sunday!
