He sends men to Chambers’ hotel room to plant heroin in his luggage, and then start a fight the room to get the police to show up, and they do, and before long Chambers finds himself in a stank Russian prison, and his only way out is through Gaga, who owns the police and the prison warden. Gaga has a great idea, at least on paper. The current champion, Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins) is a one man wrecking crew, annihilating every opponent he faces, which is no drama, and no drama means no betting. Enter Gaga, a fight promoter who makes tons of Scrooge McDuck cash running an underground martial art tournament featuring prison inmates, but he’s running into a problem. Right off the bat you won’t like Chambers as he’s really a self-absorbed asshole whose star flamed out the moment he went to prison. Anyway, after getting out of prison he finds himself in Russia with his agent trying to get a gig making commercials for Russian Vodka. That will be the last time I mention the previous film, as it doesn’t hold the jock strap of this one.
Michael Jai White plays George Chambers, a former heavyweight fighter who had been sentenced to prison for an alleged rape in the first film, at that time played by Ving Rhames in the first film.
Michael Jai White and Scott Adkins, two men who have been on film for years, finally get to stand out and show off what they’ve got. Released direct to DVD, Undisputed 2 has become a hit film as word of mouth spread, and with good reason. Undisputed II is like a breath of fresh air, not only introducing a new generation of action stars, but is a brutal, fantastically choreographed fight film that may hail a new era in American martial arts action films.
