Each week's Black Belt Watchlist is free to watch on Pluto TV!
This Week’s Black Belt Watchlist is a packed tour de force starring Scott Adkins, now streaming free on Pluto TV for viewers across the platform.
Directed by the Kirby Brothers and co-written by Adkins and Stu Small, this sequel to Accident Man delivers a globe-trotting, gut-busting, roundhouse-kicking ride that martial arts fans won’t want to miss.
Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday (2022) is a blistering blend of brutal martial arts and offbeat comedy that proves once again why Scott Adkins is one of the most electrifying action stars in the game. We can’t say enough about his talents — not just his world-class fight skills, but also the sharp comedic timing and charisma he brings to every scene.
Filmed in the streets of Valletta, Malta, the story picks up with Mike Fallon (Adkins) trying to outrun his violent past and ease his conscience. To keep his skills razor-sharp, Mike pays a ferocious local martial artist (the phenomenal Sarah Chang) to ambush him at random, just to keep him on his toes.
Yes — that’s how Fallon relaxes.
With the help of gadget-geek sidekick Finicky Fred (Perry Benson), Mike ends up facing off against a rogues' gallery of over-the-top killers — including ninjas, psycho clowns, and eccentric international assassins — all in the name of friendship, survival, and a little bit of redemption.
The Black Belt Magazine team loves Hitman’s Holiday because it’s not just action — it’s martial arts action done right. Fight scenes tightly choreographed, bursting with style and real technique.
The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's part of its charm. It's gleefully violent, wickedly funny, and a true celebration of hand-to-hand combat.
Adkins treats the audience to fight scenes that are as inventive as they are devastating — packed with nods to kung fu cinema, British brawling, and everything in between.
A ninja, a killer clown, and a whole gauntlet of wild assassins. What more could a martial arts fan ask for?
