Accident Man 2

Hey, I liked this comic derived action better than the drivel of Marvel and DC at this point.

Actually I think Mike Fallon and Deadpool would be a great team. But whatever on that.

Adkins is always spot on, and the major studios don't do him justice in giving him supporting roles.

Accident Man and Debt Collector are brilliant in their way, and this one gave Adkins even more cred as a lead.

Poco was a great character, the best of the killers coming after him.

Sarah Chang was awesome, and I hope we see more of her.

If you're a fan of Adkins this one is great.

Personally, I want to see more Debt Collector and Boyka. Adkins has made some great action characters, and this movie did not disappoint with his Mike Fallon role.

I enjoyed this movie. Not the best action movie, not even amongst Scott Adkins's best, but still a fun watch. The first movie was a nice surprise when I saw it, and I didn't know there were going to make a sequel, so there goes another nice one.

Accident Man was a violent, well-choreographed martial arts thriller film, with some dark humour hints here and there, but the sequel is more of a comedy, making fun of buddy movies, secret agencies flicks such as 007 or Mission: Impossible and the like. It's like a spoof of many clichéd movies but still they were trying to make an original story and not a collage of previous actioneers.

Overall I think the first one was better than this sequel, but AC2 - Hitman's Holiday is a decent, funny, not too smart but not too dumb, reasonably enjoyable martial arts action flick that goes to show not every action flick is unworthy of your precious time. Watch it with a beer and some popcorn or chips and most of all, with an open mind and not expecting too much of it.

I hadn't seen the first film and only knew Scott Adkins from badly acted low budget action thrillers where you constantly skip ahead to the next fight scene, because everything in between is just atrocious.

This film however is just pure bonkers from beginning to end. Every character except the accident man himself is and over the top caricature. The story is about as stupid as can be and doesn't have any pretention about being anything other. There's no moral here, no statement about human nature or current affairs, no attempt at gritty realism, it's just a beavis and butthead style avalanche of insults, fart and poop jokes and pure idiocy.

Just one example (not a spoiler since it's more or less seen in the trailer): Scott Adkins has to save the idiot son of a mafia family, who for no reason whatsoever decides to swallow the tracking device the bad guys use to track him. Adkins drags the idiot who's wearing a rabbit costume and covered in the first assassin's blood into a pharmacy, force feeds him laxatives only to later have closeup shots of the idiot pooping, and of the tracker covered in diarrhea. What the actual f... ?

The fight scenes are completely ridiculous as well with the antagonists introduced in video game like manner. They are wonderfully choreographed with some great camera work. Lots of wide angle shots, no closeup shaky cam nonsense. With some shots I really wondered how they did it. CGI is used in some shots, and it looks terrible. They don't even try to hide it, which somehow makes it more acceptable. The soundtrack is appropriately noisy and goofy.

I'm not sure what to classify this movie as. Martial Arts Comedy? Martial Arts Spoof?

What I do know is I didn't feel the need to fast forward once, and that the fight scene were absolutely impressive and entertaining.

Turn your brain off and enjoy.

Scott Adkins returns to the big screen in Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday. This action packed, comedic romp, is a sequel to the 2018 cult classic, Accident Man.

While the story picks up where original left off, with Mike Fallon banished from Great Britain, it is easily a stand alone project which offers something to newcomers as well as fans of the prior film. Stu Small and Adkins have teamed up, again, for the crafting and writing of this smart sequel; which accounts for the familiarity and smooth transition from the conclusion of the first film.

Set in Malta, the story revolves around the interruption of Adkins' new life, as he is forced to protect the ungrateful son of a mafia boss, save the life of his only friend, and rekindle his relationship with his maniacal father figure.

Adkins is the star of such films as Avengement, Savage Dog, The Debt Collector series, Legacy of Lies, and, the upcoming, John Wick 4. Scott Adkins is always fun to watch, and he is a masterful martial artist. Adkins and the stunt team have, clearly, elevated the level of action and fight choreography over this film's predecessor. This was not an easy task considering the original contains one of the best "one on one" fight scenes in martial arts cinema, between Adkins and Amy Johnston. In Hitman's Holiday they have managed to make each of the plethora of fights unique and engaging; that is no small accomplishment.

The supporting cast, old and new, is terrific. Ray Stevenson reprises his role as Adkins' surrogate father, while Perry Benson's role in this one is more substantial than his part in Accident Man. Aside from Adkins they are the only cast members to survive the original film. The remainder of the cast is fresh to this installment.

The series of assassin fights are among the most well choreographed and well filmed you will see. Without giving away any spoilers, the "Poco the Clown" fight, with Beau Fowler, is among the most original and engaging martial arts fight scenes ever filmed. There is no shortage of action and the fighting is not hampered by "shaky cam", poor cinematography, or noticeable stunt doubles. This is fight choreography and execution in its highest form. Blood Hunters' Sarah Chang is a dynamic and exciting addition to the cast. The scenes between her and Adkins pay homage to the classic, and memorable, Peter Sellers-Burt Kwouk brawls of The Pink Panther films of the 1960's. The scenes they share are some of the film's highlights, and they will have the viewer longing for more of this unusual pairing. Adkins' Accident Man Sequel is a Blast

The film is, at its core, a martial arts action film. From the first moment until the last it is a thrill ride of some of the best and most unique fight scenes you could pack into 96 minutes. However, the filmmakers manage to strike the right balance between action and comedy. The scenes featuring George Fouracres, the impetus for the film's chaos, hit their mark every time.

I did have some hesitation going into the film's screening because of the absence of Director Jesse V. Johnson, who adeptly directed the original. However, The Kirby Brothers do an outstanding job at the helm of the sequel. Their Direction and cinematography are on point, and, perhaps, more suited to the continuous action and fighting which defines Hitman's Holiday. The film has a unique and distinctive look. While it is violent, it is not dark. While this is not a high budget film by today's standards, you can not tell from the look of it. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Even the soundtrack works really well in this one.

As 2022 races into the 4th quarter Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday is the easily one of the best martial arts action films of the year.

Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday hits theaters and On Demand services on October 14th.

This one is worth seeing. It is really a good time.

I really enjoyed the first Accident Man, it had a very solid cast when it comes to on screen martial arts including Michael Jai White, Ray Park, Amy Johnston. The story was simple but effective and the action was top notch.

For this sequel it is obvious the budget was smaller, the actors in general less known in the genre as well, but they made the most out of it. Deviating quite much from its first installement while keeping the core of it. Its more of an action comedy this time around, but the martial arts/fight scenes are still amazing. No shaky cam non sense as well.

The characters from the first movie all had their unique traits as assassins but this time they pushed it even further. Ranging from a Clown who feel no pain to a guy who think he's a vampire. Some are more goofy than others but ultimately the fight sequences are extremely well shot and you never feel it cross a line of being "too stupid".

Some peoples have criticized the CGI but it is used rather sparingly. The low budget of the movie kinda show in filming locations as well wich are not the most entertaining and originals you could get, but the fights are so well done and entertaining it makes up for it.

Its really a movie where you got to turn your brain off, grab a few beers and just enjoy. Obviously the characters receive more punishment than any humans could withstand, and their faces would be bloody pudding after all those hits in real life, but if you understand the tone they were going for its really not an issue.

Some peoples may miss the more serious tone of the original movie, wich still had that comic book vibe (it is based on one after all) but felt more grounded and had a much better plot. This time the plot is mostly just a vessel to connect the action. That said personally i enjoyed the direction they decided to go in and focuss more on the characters. With a movie titled "Accident Man" there was a lot of potential for fun stuff and they explored that more here. Did they at times push the goofyness a bit too much? Maybe, especially with the Zuuzer son wich Mike must protect, but its never to the point of being annoying.

Overall i just had a fun time with this movie,. Boyka will surely always remain my favorite franchise from Scott, and i do hope they make a 5th one first but i would be totally down for a third Accident Man.

I didn't mentioned it before, but. Sarah Chang as Siu-Ling was a pretty cool addition and the back and forth with Mike was a lot of fun. I hope she follow in the next installement if they make it.

Ill just finish by saying please support this movie as much as you can if you want more like that. These movies do not have the huge financial backing from the studios as the theatre movies. I even had to manually enter it in the search bar on my Xbox, it didn't even showed up in recent movies and i check recent movies often. I just remembered it was supose to come during the Hollidays so i search just to see and there it was. Only promotion i could find of this movie is by Scott himself and some youtubers wich are deep into the martial arts genre.
