The 80s and early 90s had no shortage of awesome action stars. I'd say that Arnold, Sly, and Van Damme for sure topped the list. Unfortunately, it seems like these days, Hollywood just isn't making any awesome action movies such as Cobra, Eraser, or Time Cop. I've thought about it and I just can't really see who could step in, fill in the void and become the next big action star. For a while, I thought that maybe The Rock would be the man for the job. The Scorpion King was pretty awesome, but now it seems like he's trying to diversify.
Well, I have some good news. I think I've at least found the next Van Damme. Young, up and coming British Actor, Scott Adkins has slowly started to be recognized by Hollywood. He started out making some obscure martial arts films in Hong Kong. He broke into the American scene with his role in Undisputed II: Last Man Standing. In the future, we will see Scott face off against Wolverine in Wolverine Origins. He will play Weapon XI and will fight Wolverine in the final fight scene of the movie. Also, Scott is currently finishing up production on his first lead role in Ninja.
Check out this awesome video tribute to Scott and his martial arts action greatness
What? Do I hear you all screaming for more? You got it. Here are some fight scenes from Undisputed II: Last Man Standing. BTW, the amazing plot of this movie is that prisoners have a chance to fight for their freedom. How awesome is that. I bet the tag line for this movie was something like, "Prison Rules DO Apply," or something amazing like that. Enjoy.

YES! How did you know I was looking for the next Van Damn? It's like you can read my mind!
MORE!
I could not get enough. Thank you for the prediction. Now that we have our superstar I think it is time for another Mortal Combat/StreetFighter II movie.
I loved the flip-to-splits move.
I'm glad you all loved Scott as much as I did. And Cicely, you are correct, the flip to the splits move was one of the best. When I can do that, my live will be complete.
Judd, are you being clever? because they are totally doing a Street Fighter remake right now.
I was so happy to see that your cool checks. I just knew Darth Spencer had picked them out. We were very impressed when we saw all your (I don't even know how to spell it so I'm not going to try) moves at the rec center.
So how is work on the flip to split move coming?
Well at least he is slightly more good looking that the previous action heroes.
And as for the kitchen and oven mits, guess I can't say much. Well said Spencer! The kitchen does need to be painted so it's not pink. But hey, most of the iron chefs are guys and it seems to be working out for them. You can't tell me Owen doesn't like to help bake up a batch of cookies now and again. Maybe I'll have to make him and apron and oven mits just to stick it to you!
lets get that dmd swagger commentary going brah
