UPDATE: As promised yesterday, the full length trailer for the Scott Adkins led action sequel ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’s HOLIDAY has dropped! Not disappointing in the slightest, the new teaser features enough extreme martial arts action and well timed dark humor to satisfy genre fans. Glance at it below!
October can’t get here fast enough as we now have an official release date for Scott Adkins’ latest offering which comes in the form of the high flying sequel Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday. To celebrate the occasion, another butt kicking image gas dropped which shows off Mr. Fallon kicking the snot out of a killer clown. Check it out below!
Adkins is in fine form again and the footage contains all the hand to hand carnage you can hope for mixed with a dash of that great dark humor that made the original such a smashing success.
Adkins stars along with Ray Stevenson who is returning from the first one. New cast additions include action heavyweights Andy Long who is a former member of the Jackie Chan stunt team, and Sarah Chang.
From previously released BTS footage, the hand to hand combat will most certainly entertain genre fans. Adkins is always evolving with his extreme fight choreography and with an altercation against a killer clown, this one will deliver the goods.
Jesse V. Johnson helmed the first film which is based on the character Mike Fallon, AKA Accident Man, which was created by Pat Mills in 1991 in the underground UK comic Toxic! Adkins’ longtime collaborator Stu Small returns to pen the sequel. The popular character got his nickname due to the fact that he was an assassin who made his hits look like accidents.
The follow up has seen a transfer of directors this time around as George and Harry Kirby will take the reigns from Jesse V. Johnson for the highly anticipated sequel.
The two have cut their teeth in the industry and has managed to put out numerous projects via their K&K productions banner. George even brings a high level of stunt knowledge to the picture having done work on various MCU projects like Marvel’s Doctor Strange along with Sony’s recent hit Venom: Let There Be Carnage. He also worked on the action-thriller American Assassin which also featured Adkins.
Get ready to buckle up and make sure to come back here tomorrow for the official trailer debut as we are your destination for everything action in 2022 and beyond!
The locations look really cheap, which wasn’t the case in the first one. I feel I may also miss the Britishness of the original.
But that aside, everything looks promisingly great. Scott looks really comfortable in the part. Plus, colourful characters, cool fights and humour that seems to be actually funny.
Had a hearty chuckle at the Miguel Fallonado bit.
The ‘melted Ben Affleck’ not so much. Though nice to see Scott has no problem making fun of himself (he’s involved in the script writing himself after all), I never really saw the resemblance and in any case I find Scott far more handsome than Affleck, whom I’ve always considered pretty average-looking anyway. The fact the line comes from a guy whose looks are not even average is what (almost) makes it funny.
