Marko Zaror confirmed in ‘Undisputed 3,’ plus new Scott Adkins training video

A news bomb has just dropped courtesy of Scott Adkins Fanz concerning confirmed casting in Isaac Florentine’s highly anticipated martial arts actioner UNDISPUTED 3. Joining Scott Adkins onscreen will be Chilean martial arts star Marko Zaror (KILTRO), as well as THE PROTECTOR’s Lateef Crowder, stunt actor Ilram Choi who recently doubled John Cho in J.J. Abrams STAR TREK, and actor Mykel Shannon Jenkins.

Zaror first came to fame as stunt double for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in THE RUNDOWN for which he earned a Taurus Award at the World Stunt Awards. He since went back to Chile to star in that country’s first martial arts movie, KILTRO. He followed that up with MIRAGEMAN. Now, it looks like he’s re-entering Hollywood, this time as a star and hopefully pitted against Scott Adkins.

Both Adkins and Zaror are phenomenal screen fighters with jaw-dropping abilities. Getting them in a movie together is a masterstroke of genius. Speaking of Adkins’ ability, check out the latest video (see below) to show him in training for his role in UNDISPUTED 3. Previously, we got a glimpse of his fitness regime and this time we get to see his screen fighting moves with stuntmen.

Set the flashy spinning moves aside for a moment. Look at how close his strikes are to his opponents and how tightly they react to his movements. Look at the speed. Look at the precision. This is 21st century screen fighting at its finest.

All you tricksters and wannabe Jackie Chan’s out there with dreams of movie stardom need to study this clip. All you new Hollywood producers and so-called action directors need to study this clip. This is how you do the fancy moves right. No CGI. No undercranking. Okay, one wire but it looks like one of Adkins’ stuntmen was in the harness. If you don’t have someone like Adkins in your movie, someone with speed, grace and power and you’re trying to sell these moves to your audience, go home.

That move where Adkins feigns a spinning kick with his left leg and follows through with a strike with his right is his signature move. He did that move in THE SHEPHERD and perhaps earlier but it keep getting better with practice.
