Scott Adkins World 2017 - 2025
Other keystars in this film are Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph
Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and
the one who makes our hearts beat
faster ofcourse is Scott Adkins portraying
Hector, the right-hand man of Jean Vilain.
It's great to see Scott Adkins shine in a
movie with this many well-known action
stars. Scott must have been incredibly
proud to be part of this cast with legends
from the action history of cinema. What
an honor to be with the people who have
inspired you to do what you do.
And the good news is that Scott doesn't
get overshadowed but rather explodes on
the screen in this film.
Jean-Claude Van Damme is introduced as the main vilain in this film, named Jean Vilain. He delivers a
memorable performance as the charismatic and deadly adversary, adding a layer of charm to his ruthless
character.
And the we have the inclusion of Scott Adkins in the role of Hector, the right-hand man of Jean Vilain. Adkins
steals the show as the real badass of the movie. His portrayal of Hector is menacing. Adkins comes across as
the ruthless villain. When face to face with Jason Statham, Jason chooses to take the easy way out and avoid a
confrontation with Hector. Later in the film, they cross paths again in one of the final showdowns of this movie.
One of Hector's responsibilities is to keep the work camp under control and engaged. When the work pace
isn't fast enough, Hector ruthlessly deals with the workers to instill even more fear in the rest. Let's just say
you can pray that you never get a boss like Hector…
Going back in time to 2012, Scott Adkins proved himself as a formidable force in the action genre, solidifying
his status as an up-and-coming star. And the film delivers exactly what fans of the franchise have come to
expect: explosive action sequences, witty one-liners, and camaraderie among the cast members that shines
through.
Classic action heroes and the rising talents who continue to breathe new life into the genre.
Scott talked about that 2nd scene with Jason Statham in an interview with ‘screencrush’. Scott told about that
scene: “Well that pissed me off!!” Scott told: “Well, listen, those producers are friends of mine and I want them to
give me another job. But at the end of the day, what the hell are you doing giving me and Jason Statham two
days for a fight scene, and then taking away half a day so you can film some sequence with [tennis star Novak]
Djokovic hitting tennis balls at bad guys, which we knew would never be in the movie? People deserved to have a
nice showdown at the end of that movie. If I was making it, it would have been different.”
