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!

giangross, u could of warned me that it was in bulgarian. Damn it! i can hardly hear what scott is saying.

sorry dude i was at work so i had not seen the video as work blocks youtube, but slavkov has kindly translated this for us, thank you.
i think this is the 1st interview we have of scott video wise!! also i like the top hes wearing, the scenes from The Shepherd looked loads better without the slowmotion.

Sad to conclude it like this but for me it comes all down to this....

´Scott is awesome...a real pro and will dliever ´whenever they let him....

he was asked about three stars and named two...scott is too polite to say something bad but he doesn´t fake stuff...

Jc is a prick....the fight was destroyed and even looks better with just that material...I just wanna see the fight rehersals to see scotts and jj´s work because i think they deserved more....

but Jc is done for me...I can´t take him serious anymore.... sorry

man shit this is so misscut!!! even stuff like the sommersault kick wich was in the film is so bad cut it looks much more fake and edited in the movie (like all thoose bruce lee kciks normally are) but they had actually the whole motion on film...scott did this movie with no help and while his leg was holded (normally the they cut this together from one shot hwo he is holded and one where someone kicks so you don´t see the guy who holds the leg support the kicker by pushing)....

now you have it perfectly done on screen (wow scott no shit) and it gets cut like its faked together.....how stupid can someone be...I just underline my comment abbove...I can´t take jc serious anymore!!!!!!

Oh...........uh, i didnt see that my bad. I was not mad or anything but that bulgarian person talking over the video was annoying and i guess i didnt pay close enough attention to slavkov's posts he made.

Shit the final fight from The Shepherd could have been a classic and one of the best final fights, in van damme`s career but van damme wasted the big potential who the final fight has van damme has a very bad taste as editor.

I watch the final fight scenes from Scott`s interview a number of times and i watch JC`s version from the final fight this is a big difference like day and night, without the slow motion the final fight has much more power and impact.

Iam 1000% sure that van damme cut out much more fight moves from Scott and from the jail fight to the scene with the breath mask in the jail is not in the movie, why the hell cut van damme so much from the fight scenes from TS?

Why work van damme with Isaac Florentine togehter?JC knows that Isaac likes much action and martial arts and why don`t, van damme deliver what Isaac wanted for TS?

I have very mixed feelings for the action and fight scenes for Full Love look the result from The Shepherd but i think that van damme makes the best with Full Love were he can why its his own baby, i hope that van damme makes Full Love with heartblood like stallone did with John Rambo.

Honestly fans, i looking 100`000 times more forward for Ninja The Tournament Wolverin The Orgins Blood and Bone Undisputed 3 Crank 2 Transporter 3 Tekken The Bank Job Death Race 3000 etc as for Full Love.
