... View MoreSome years after fighting Monroe "Undisputed" Hutchens in prison, former boxing champion George "Iceman" Chambers visits the Russian Federation for a series of boxing matches, where he is subsequently framed for possession of cocaine and once again sent to prison. There, he discovers a series of illegal mixed martial arts matches dominated by inmate Yuri Boyka. The prison officials arrange these fights and place large side-bets to make a personal profit, often at the expense of the fighters. Chambers shares a cell with Steven Parker, a British junkie.Mob boss Gaga and Warden Markov tell Chambers that if he fights Boyka, he will likely get an expedited appeal and early release. Chambers initially refuses, but after spending time in demeaning physical labor in the prison's sewer system and experiencing firsthand the brutality of the guards, he reluctantly agrees. He is rescued from both forms of humiliation by a wheelchair-bound inmate named Crot. Both fighters train hard for the match, though Chambers still relies on his boxing background while Boyka prepares a series of deadly kicks, throws, and grappling combinations designed to humiliate his opponent in the ring. Prior to the fight however, Boyka's gang force Steven, who is acting as Chambers' cornerman, to spike his water with a light sedative during the fight.
... View MoreI'm not into these "open up a can of whoop-ass on the bad guy" flicks, but there is an element of this movie that caused me to use it as training for my officers when I was a sergeant as a prison. It is the very real depiction of an offender who is often abused and used. Ben Cross played that character (Stevie Parker) and did it to perfection. Every expression, every step taken on the recreation yard or in the chow hall was very convincing. That was so well written I gave it a 9.Then you have more types of conflict than the actual fighting. Man vs. Self...Man vs. man...etc...This is a film I highly recommend to anyone working in a correctional facility for that reason alone. THAT aspect of the story, as well as the dirty officers and such was handled VERY well by the writers. It also beats those lame-ass state training videos too because it actually depicts what an officer SHOULD be watching for. It is set in another country, but the issues are the same.I am grateful that I saw it!
... View MoreThe first "Undisputed" movie starred Wesley Snipes and was a straight up boxing film. "Undisputed II" is more of a mixed martial arts film even though Michael Jai White plays an American boxing champion. Since this movie has been out for a little while I'll spare you the plot details and just tell you that Scott Adkins is awesome; you won't believe some of the kicks he pulls off in this. Michael Jai White is awesome; one of the most underrated martial artists in the movies today. And "Undisputed II" is one of the best martial arts movies I've seen in recent years. The fight scenes are very well done and it's obvious that a martial artist directed this movie. That being said, there's also surprisingly good acting, a good story, and awesome music that made me want to start training when I heard it. If you are a martial arts movie fan, this is must see.
... View MoreAt first i didn't think much of this film but i just wanted to see it and i am defiantly glad i did. It is such a great film. i really enjoyed it with it's amazing fights scenes. Some of the moves they use are brilliant. I hadn't seen some of them before. All the fights scenes were brilliant and none of them used wires, which was good to see because most films use them now a days. Michael Jai Whte and Scott Adkins produce some amazing fights scenes, show some amazing moves and both act very well. The choreography is brilliant and make all the fights scenes look so realistic. The story for the film is very good and the the location of the film is the perfect place. This film is great to watch with it's amazing fights scenes which will keep you amazed through out the whole of the film and it is the perfect film for people that love martial arts and fighting.
