    The film just opened internationally. Who in here has seen it?

    Not looking good for this film. Remember the last time a film had to be pushed back a year for special effects purposes? Jupiter Ascending Delayed Until February 2015

    Machete Kills cost US$20 million to make, but became one of the biggest box office flops of 2013. It also ranks as one of Robert Rodriguez's worst films (next to the kid-oriented The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D and Spy Kids: All the Time in the World). Simply put, this film apparently fell short on its script halfway, so Rodriguez simply threw in whatever he saw and rolled with it. So if you need something to go with your booze, pop this movie in your player. In the meantime... Box Office Total: US$15,008,161

    Word out on the street is that WWE suffered a major blow in the stock market. The disappointing performance of the WWE Network triggered a drop in shares from $19.93 to $11.27. Investors were not impressed with WWE's recent TV deal with NBCUniversal. Also, Vinnie Mac was worth $1.6 billion this past March; now he's only within the $300 million range. Ouch. WWE's Vince McMahon Loses $750 Million in Two Months This will be the only thing you'll hear at the WWE board room...

    Undisputed II: Last Man Standing Nu Image/Millennium Films/New Line Home Video, 2006 Directed by Isaac Florentine (Ninja, Savate) Running Time: 98 minutes Rated R for graphic martial arts violence, drug use and profanity. "I am the most complete fighter in the world." - Yuri Boyka Cast Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite, Spawn) as George "Iceman" Chambers Scott Adkins (Casey in Ninja, Deadpool stunt double in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as Yuri Boyka Eli Danker as Crot Mark Ivanir (Marcel Goldberg in Schindler's List, Karlenko in Johnny English Reborn) as Gaga Valentin Ganev as Warden Markov Ben Cross (Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire, Sarek in Star Trek) as Steven Parker Ken Lerner (Delaney in RoboCop 2, Principal Flutie in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Phil Synopsis Framed for drug possession, former boxing champion George "Iceman" Chambers is sent to a Russian prison, where he discovers he has been set up to fight prison fight champion Yuri Boyka in their ring. After suffering the grueling effects of the prison's poor living conditions, Chambers accepts the challenge for a chance to be released. Lowdown For those unfamiliar with this film series, Undisputed was a 2002 prison boxing film starring Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames. It was quickly forgotten after its release, but some of the production team saw some potential to it and expanded it into a loose sequel that now focuses on mixed martial arts. Chambers, who was the villain played by Rhames in the first film, is now the protagonist played by Michael Jai White. Squaring off with him is the vicious Russian fighter Yuri Boyka, played by British martial artist Scott Adkins. To call Undisputed II: Last Man Standing awesome is an understatement; it is brutally awesome, at the least. Despite not having as much screen time as White, Adkins makes this film shine with his lightning-quick attacks, including his signature spinning double kick (which he approaches his opponent with a spinning left kick, but hits the opponent's head with his right kick before landing). The fights, despite being slightly on the unrealistic side, boast some of the best choreography that easily rivals Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior. In addition, the fight cinematography is outstanding, as it does not resort to shaky-cam or unnecessary CGI effects like today's action films. If you're a fan of the martial arts classic Bloodsport, Undisputed II: Last Man Standing is the next best thing. Rating: A Undisputed III: Redemption Nu Image/New Line Home Video, 2010 Directed by Isaac Florentine (Ninja: Shadow of a Tear, Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon) Running Time: 96 minutes Rated R for graphic martial arts violence, drug use and profanity. Cast Scott Adkins (Hector in The Expendables 2, John in Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) as Yuri Boyka Mykel Shannon Jenkins as Jericho "Turbo" Jones Mark Ivanir (Marcel Goldberg in Schindler's List, Karlenko in Johnny English Reborn) as Gaga Marko Zaror (Zaror in Machete Kills) as Raul "Dolor" Quiñones Vernon Dobtcheff (Max Kalba in The Spy Who Loved Me, Interrogator in The Day of the Jackal) as Rezo Hristo Shopov as Warden Kuss Robert Costanzo (Det. Harvey Bullock in Batman: The Animated Series) as Farnatti Valentin Ganev as Warden Markov Ilram Choi as Jerry Chai Lateef Crowder (Eddy Gordo in Tekken, Baraka in Mortal Kombat: Rebirth) as Andriago Silva Esteban Cueto as Sykov Synopsis Years after suffering a humiliating defeat and a broken knee at the hands of George "Iceman" Chambers, Yuri Boyka steps back into the ring to once again become the Russian prison champion and compete in an international tournament called the Prison Spetz Competition (PSC) to win his freedom or face execution. Lowdown Undisputed II: Last Man Standing and its antagonist Yuri Boyka won numerous praise from martial arts film buffs, so it was fitting to continue the story of everyone's favorite Russian prison fighter. Undisputed III: Redemption picks up where its predecessor left off, turning Boyka from villain to a broken man and progressively into an antihero. He is paired with American convict Turbo, who has a loud mouth and a couple of hard fists to go with it. As participants of the tournament, they face a diverse array of fighters from around the world that use taekwondo, capoeira, and various forms of MMA. The storyline also works well, with its strong themes of betrayal and survival throughout the tournament. As usual, the film captures some of the most outstanding fights ever put on film. Most notable is the semifinal round between Boyka and Brazilian fighter Andriago Silva. But perhaps the film's downside is the tournament itself feeling too short, as it focuses more on the interaction between Boyka and Turbo in the labor camp sessions. While not as memorable as the second film, Undisputed III still delivers with bone-crunching action and intense fighting only Scott Adkins can deliver. No doubt that a fourth installment will be coming soon. Rating: B+ References The Internet Movie Database
