Undefeatable Audience Reviews

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Leofwine_draca UNDEFEATABLE is a highly schlock chop socky epic brought to us from the man behind all those godawful '80s ninja films, Godfrey Ho. This time around Mr. Ho is masquerading under the name 'Godfrey Hall' but a quick browse of any scene from the movie will reveal that it is one and the same guy; the clumsy editing, cheesy, over-the-top acting, hilarious fight scenes and thudding music could have come straight from the likes of NINJA TERMINATOR. As a film, UNDEFEATABLE is a mess, often hilarious when trying to be serious, and utterly unfunny when trying to be funny. Saying that, for bad film enjoyability, you can't really get much better.The film has not one, not two, but three starring martial artists leading the cast, with lots of supporting fighters in minor roles. Cynthia Rothrock takes the limelight and seems to be dressed in one extremely tight-fitting costume after another, so no complaints from this particular viewer. Rothrock has never looked better and she's also great in the fight scenes, although the actress appears to have been doubled in a few stunt shots. The male cop in the film is played by John Miller, a bulky weightlifter who flexes his pecs when he's not on a case. Finally, taking the bad acting award is Don Niam as the psychotic serial killer; with his '80s mullet and OTT facial gurning, Niam is a delight to behold and must go down in history as one of the worst performers of all time.The film is pretty unpleasant and there are one too many scenes of women being tortured and killed for my liking; the focus is on rape, naked women being tied up, and sadistic violence. However it's all so cheesy that you can't really take any of it too seriously. I mean, come on, the bad guy keeps people's eyeballs in his fish tank, how can any film with that plot twist expect to be taken seriously? Production values are low and the acting often laughable; on the other hand, the fight scenes are plentiful and, it has to be said, a lot of fun.Rothrock occupies most of the fighting time in her staged brawls between other champion gang fighters. These are good, but not as good as Niam's battles against various unfortunates; in one battle in a car park, he beats up a karate champion and pops both of his eyeballs right across the parking lot, before tossing his body from the first-storey balcony! Gee, nice. Niam's extended battle with Rothrock towards the film's close has a real sense of urgency and imminent death which is hard to achieve. However, the best fight scene is, as usual, the final one, as Niam takes on Miller in a bought to the death, leading to the two cheesiest lines in history. Although the villain's demise is a clear rip-off of the Stallone flick COBRA, it ends the film on a cheesy high and'll have you reaching for the rewind button on your remote. "See ya!"
KissEnglishPasto ........................................................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!
celticfan1128 OK, Let me begin by saying that if you don't get the reference in the above comment, you haven't seen the end of this movie. If you haven't seen the end of this movie, you actually are missing out on the experience of a lifetime.Like many people, I was introduced to this movie through the internet - in fact, the video I watched was tagged 'worst fight scene of all time'. I sat there and watched maybe the most amazingly awful fight scene ever for the best four odd minutes of my life. Never has something so undeniably bad been so entertaining. I, of course, opted to get the film however I could. It just so happened that a friend of mine shared my passion, and purchased this on Amazon.So, the film itself. It stars essentially a bunch of actorss no mainstream movie fan will know, with the exception of Cynthia Rothrock of course. John Miller, Don Niam and Don Niam's mullet fill in the remaining main character spots. It has been said before, but just so you know Cynthia Rothrock is the best actor in this movie. This is saying something, because her acting is at times melodramatic (at best) and downright over the top at worst - see the morgue scene for an example of that.John Miller plays Sergeant Nick DeMarco, delivering such gems as 'You have the right to remain silent...so do me a favor and shut up!' He may be a terrible actor (this is his last movie appearance according to this site) but he definitely helps the film on its path to greatness.Don Niam, Don Niam, Don Niam. I actually do not know what to say. Any of the actual non-fighting scenes he appears in are pure gold. He essentially plays an emotionally disturbed champion fighter 'Stingray' who loses it when his wife leaves him, then goes around killing people who look like her. And removing their eyes for good measure. I actually won't spoil his most entertaining scenes, but be prepared for such things as a HILARIOUSLY badly acted flashback to his childhood, and the disturbing underlying fact that he essentially has a hardon for his own mother.As a cheesy 90' action movie, this film would not be complete without its fight sequences. The early fights are hilarious, due more so to the dialogue during them (the 'something for free' scene springs to mind). By and large, the fights scenes are terrible bar a few. The martial arts demonstration scenes are possibly the most professional thing about this film, and the Stingray vs. Random car park guy fight actually features camera-work and a fighting move that's suspiciously similar to one of Mortal Kombat's fatalities.The final fight, the aforementioned 4 minutes of pure, raw manliness, is also hilarious as well as entertaining. Who exactly doesn't like the idea of arbitrarily ripping your shirt off for a fight? I also love how Godfrey Ho half-assedly attempted to introduce some kind of ironic resolution in that stingray ends up getting a nail and a hook in the eye, after all those eyes he so gruesomely removed himself. Instead of realising this, the audience is more likely to react in some way akin to 'wait a minute, did he just get lifted that high of the ground by a freaking HOOK? in the EYE?' OK, so the acting is bad, choreography terrible (see the final fight again, in which the closeups look so very fake) and the plot itself is weak. However, it is a B movie and it shows. If you look past all the bogey bits, and see the actual hilarious spectacle that is Undefeatable, you'll have friends over for a side splitting evening of sheer (if homoerotic) manliness.
TorgoTron This film, a gem of the oft forgotten pre-internet pre-CG 90's, is one of the most entertaining train wrecks you'll ever see shot in soft focus and bad lighting. From the bug-eyed pathos of the immortal Don Niam (currently a martial arts instructor in Akron, OH, google him!) to the community-theater level production design, Undefeatable is not to be missed by true connoisseurs of the bottom of the film barrel.Our story, as it were, follows Cynthia Rothrock's Kristi Jones, who fights on the streets to put her kid sister through college. She's a street-tough hustler with a heart o' gold. Watching Kristi Jones ply her trade is really one of the most entertaining aspects of this movie. She and her "gang" of comic-relief Asian dudes meet up to fight other street-fighter-2-esque characters in an ally or warehouse or something. Some greasy dude in a suit pays money to the winners.Anyway, the parallel plot involves Don Niam's "Stingray," a pit fighter who is the titular "Undefeatable." He's a psycho who scares his wife away, and then subsequently wanders around attacking women who bear any slight resemblance to her. One of his victims is Rothrock's sister, which sets up the conflict.Don Niam's filmography consists basically of this role, a few other bit parts and "hit man" on some episode of L.A. Heat. Which is a terrible shame because Niam is triple-A HILARIOUS. Always the same bug eyed expression, the same ridiculous mullet, and the same hilarious overacting (which almost makes up for the extreme underacting of the rest of the cast). In one scene he's wearing denim cutoff jacket, which combined with his poofy hair and short stature makes him look like he should be at a K.D. Lang concert.Oh yeah, and there's the requisite "street-smart cop who doesn't play by the rules," his dopey sidekick, and even the "mayor's busting my balls" police chief, but at the end of the day this is Don "The Man" Niam's picture. Everyone else looks like they've popped a valium before they deliver their stupid lines while standing in cardboard sets lit by harsh fluorescents.SO, to summarize... hilarious over/underacting? Check. "Mentos commercial" school of cinematography? Check. AND, it's on Youtube! So you don't even have to leave your house! Just grab a six pack of shitty beer and enjoy the laughs.
