Undisputed II: Last Man Standing



Really fantastic sequel to the original I never saw.  Turns out this one is self-contained enough that it doesn’t matter much. 

Boyka (Scott Adkins (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning)) is the mixed martial arts champ at this one Russian prison but the problem is he’s a little too good at beating the shit out of other inmates.  There’s no worthy competition and the mob is getting upset because they’re actually starting to lose money.  You see Boyka is such a sure thing that no one bets against him.  In order to spice things up the mob frames ex American boxing champ George “Iceman” Chambers (Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite)) so they can get him into prison and fight Boyka.

Great setup and well executed.  Clear fight sequences and lots of ‘em.  Wonderful acting and directing.  Wise old man in a wheelchair that helps Chambers get through his ordeal and a dude gets flung into a sewer filled with shit.  There’s a lot of good stuff here.
