Undefeatable (1993)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Don't Believe the Hype

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA.. CALI, Colombia and ORLANDO, FL As far back as I can remember, my Colombian mother always told me: "Ay, Mijo! If you don't habe someseen nice to say...don't say anyseeng!" Obviously, my Mom never saw "Undefeatable"! The only bright spot I could detect in the entire film is when Cynthia Rothrock's character is asked by police to identify the body of her dead sister. Amazingly, her reaction is extremely raw, powerful, realistic and very believable. She must have dug deep within herself to reference some personal tragedy.Other than that, her overall performance is rather lackluster, to say the least...and she is the best actor in the film, by far! Perhaps a case could also be made for the natural, unenhanced martial arts sequences. They are a rather refreshing contrast to the slick, over-produced, sound effects and post-production embellished scenes we've gotten from both Hollywood and Hong Kong for decades.Oh! And the music soundtrack is, at times, passable. (I'll bet it was borrowed from another film, though!) The Director is Godfrey Hall (Real name: Godfrey Ho). Apparently, the concept of Production Values was lost in translation, as they are appallingly abysmal.I really wasn't in the mood for a "So bad it's really good" flick. Since 13 out of 19 reviews rated this 10* (Amazon and NF) I was expecting, at least, a solid 7* action movie. Boy, whatever you 10* raters ingested before seeing this...can you share some with me? 3.5* rounded up to 4*.....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA?!?! Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

This movie could have been one of Cynthia Rothrock best movie if it had better fight scenes,more complex theme and a good partner for Cynthia like Jeff Wincott or Richard Norton.Don Niam made an Oscar performance so i don't understand why he didn't have a good career as an actor.Cynthia Rothrock is passable, she could have been great if the director have been hired an very good martial arts choreographer for this movie.I was a Lil bit disappointed by Donna Jason because i wanted her to have a bigger part in this movie.All in all it was an entertaining movie with a very big performance of Don Niam who saved this movie from obscurity.I've seen the Chinese version of this movie called BLOODY MARY KILLER but it wasn't better than UNDEFEATABLE.It has though a great beginning with Cynthia Rothrock demonstration with weapon and has a short fight between Cynthia and Robin Shou at the middle of the movie.A friend of mine gave me a version of the movie that is like UNDEFEATABLE but has that 2 cuts from BLOODY MARY KILLER thrown in making it a better movie than UNDEFEATABLE.That version of the movie is the best and deserve a 6.5/10 in my opinion.However the movie have a limited cult film status but have gained notoriety in the late years

This is some of the worst acting and directing I have ever seen in a movie. It also has the worst action scenes, editing, and the worst movie quote (What's Stingray have eyeballs in a fish tank for?") possibly in cinema history. It seems as if everyone in the movie is either a student or an instructor in some type of martial arts dojo (even the psychology professor knows martial arts), and they decided to pool their tax refunds together to make the worst movie of 1993. With that being said, this was one of the funniest movies that I have seen in my life! If you like to watch awful movies and laugh until your stomach hurts, please go get this movie! As long as you're not expecting a good (or even slightly decent) movie, you will not be disappointed.

This movie evolves around Don niam. Niam plays the character Stingray. Stingray is kickboxer champion who has won all of his fights, but he want's to find someone who can stand up to his strength. So stingray begins a journey around America where he tries to find worthy people to kill. Cynthia rawcock plays his wife Anna. Anna tries to kill stingray but oh no, nobody kills stingray. So he brakes her spine and eats her heart. Stingray becomes furious after killing his wife. He becomes delusional and thinks that every red haired women is his Anna. He eventually kills every women he sees.As usual Don Niam gives us spectacular acting but Cynthias is mediocre at best. The movie is fast paced and it has some really good action scenes. This movie is the best one of the American Kickboxer trilogy. American Kickboxer 2, stingrays revenge.
