Everybody's favorite bad guy from Undisputed II returns. Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins) is a disgraced, disabled former champion prison fighter, having had his right leg broken by George 'Iceman' Chambers (Michael Jai White) in a Russian prison.

Boyka learns of an international prison tournament (SPC) and enters to regain his honor and prove himself as the 'most complete fighter'.

Adkins once again animates the character with his energetic, acrobatic martial art stunts. But this time the role of the character is just more of a fighter. Boyka (Adkins) has learned a lot in his defeat and humiliation – what it means to be a true champion.

In UD3 Boyka (Scott Adkins) is a broken shell of himself to start. His knee hasn't fully recovered from the blow it took from George Chambers (Michael Jai White) in part 2, but he's not going to let that stop him. He entered the prison fighting championship and he was determined to win, if only to prove that he is the most complete fighter in the world. He would have to defeat three contenders in the eight man tournament to prove it though. Among them are Turbo (Mykel Jenkins), the American much in the mold of George Chambers, and Raul Quinones (Mark Zaror) the juiced up Colombian.

UD3 stays true to its roots even if the fights are more acrobatic, hence more unrealistic. Not only would fighters not be performing such flips and stunts in a real fight, if they did they'd soon show signs of fatigue from using so much extra energy. But if we forgive the creative license taken by the director this was a solid movie.

Scott Adkins is bad ass here. This role gets him well, better then fancy good boy from Ninja. He is turned from the villain of the Undisputed II to the flawed and angry main character of this one. You will enjoy him and supporting actors; Mykel Shannon Jenkins aka Turbo and Mark Ivanir as Gaga.

For once, not the average crap of usual action movie "alone against the world". This time, you are spared of usual "my brother died", or "I am in prison for wrong reason". All characters are flawed like in real life. I didn't yawn during dialogue or didn't for one moment seem the action come to stale. This is a packed with action movie about an international prison mma tournament.

Fighting scenes are superb done for a low budged movie made in post communist industrial bankruptcy of Eastern Europe.

All in all a good movie, good script , decent acting and again superb fights. Unexpected well done : 7/10.

So, let me start off by saying Scott Adkins is a pretty good actor and a damn good entertainer. He goes from being the partial pure fighting villain in the second to the star of the third. He copes with his hyper-extended knee very well might I say. Anyways, this movie was the best yet. The fight scenes were incredible and there was actually a decent plot. I hope there is a fourth and if there is Scott Adkins damn sure better be in it.

Way better than Tony Jaa and Ong Bak!

(I can't say better than Jackie or Lee because they're pure legacy and great BUT I can say Scott needs more roles. The guys amazing.)

Undisputed 2 may have been one of the best straight to DVD sequels ever made but Undisputed 3 is the best straight to DVD Threequal yet!!! Cult favourite Yuri Boyka is back and still "the most complete fighter in the world". The reason this one is the best is because we get to see more Yuri plus the plot is better than the other films. Yuri is in the first ever inter-prison fight tournament in which the winner gets his freedom. So with this plot we get a lot more colorful characters and more great fight scenes. Overall this film is a solid B-level action film. Martial arts movie fans, this is a must watch.

7/10

I am not going to say too much about the movie because I don't want to present any "spoilers," but I have to say this is one of the top action movies out, although very under the radar.

I first watched Undisputed I without ever knowing what it was, just saw it lying around at my friends house and watched it. It caught me completely off guard. Then I watched the second and I just finished the third. It seems like as far as the plots and action sequences go, they keep getting better. The fighting moves or sequences they perform in this movie are crazy! One of the main reasons I love this film. The also, completely capture what Americans think of when we think of a Russian prison. Very accurate to what I picture in my mind.

The acting is rather good in this movie, in my opinion. Sure there are some cheesy comments but every movie has them. My only wish is that they would put Jason Statham in one of these movies. But I have to say I was more than pleased that they brought Boyka back to fight, since he lost in the last movie.

Overall, very good movie if you are into movies like Bloodsport, or Kickboxer. I LOVED Bloodsport, and I was impressed how they copied Bloodsport as far as how the movie was set up, but was still so creative about the actual story line. Didn't take a ton of special effects and sex scenes to make it a great movie, the fighting was just phenomenal.

Came late to this party, but this is the best of the first 3 Undisputed films (I've not seen the 4th yet). More enjoyable than the decent budget original or reduced budget sequel. I recommend this, especially to tournament fight film aficionados.

This movie was a complete entertainer; I haven't seen the first two parts but this part was surely something! No doubt the MMA fighting skills of the characters were real time and no strings attached; yes I mean no strings attached.

The story may be considered on the lines of "condemned", but with noteworthy differences and twists, I would say the director "Isaac Florentine" and his special effects team has done a marvelous job with the fight sequences, story line and characters in hand.

I would suggest everyone should give this movie a try and I am sure everybody would like it, even if you are not into combat and sparring. This movie is a must watch for people who are into combat and self-defense.

In the follow-up movie to the cringe-worthy original movie and a gut-wrenching second part we have a change of hero. Here we follow Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins of Barakapool and "Ninja" fame), the ultimate loser of the Undisputed final bout. With his leg injured he has been relegated to being a toilet cleaner, falling down the prison hierarchy to the very bottom. Despite his obvious weakness he never gives up and decides to reenter the ring. After beating the current prison champion it turns out that his next destination will be a world-wide tournament between inmates from several continents. Amongst them talkative American Turbo (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) and Colombian bad-ass Dolor (Marko Zaror, best known from the exquisite "Mirageman" movie).

Personally I'm not a big fan of such testosterone-charged tournament fight movies. Nonetheless I try to pinch a bit of everything and heard great things about the series. Admitedly it didn't turn out to be my flavour of fights, but the gritty high-octane brutality coupled with some immensely sound acting forced me to hand out a decent grade to this movie. The action and fighting is top notch, although some may flinch given every hit and crack sends shivers down the spine given its realism.

Both Jenkins and Adkins do great as the leads of the movie (the latter benefiting from playing a semi-illiterate introverted tough-guy), while supporting cast (including Mark Ivanir and Roberto Costanzo) never cause any hindrance to the story (however rudimentary it may be). We end up with a Molotov cocktail made from all the right proportions. If this is what you ordered than expect the rapturous fulfilment of expectations.

So, I'm here writing and deleting all the time because I can't find the words to express my enthusiasm over this film.. Yes, it's not your typical drama with an extraordinary plot or character development but for a movie that had a low budget and was so under the radar it delivered, and delivered really really really good.

Scott Adkins deserves more credit and more film deals, because not only he's an amazing fighter/stuntman, he's also a pretty damn good actor as opposed to other "fighters" making movies (I won't point fingers, but there's a guy always whispers in movies)..

Bottom line is : Choreography is great, fight scenes are great, plot is really good, acting is really good.. You should definitely check out this movie, no doubt.. if you liked Undisputed 2 you're going to love this..

PS : Someone write a screenplay for Undisputed 4 please :P

A mix of boxing flick and prison picture, professionally directed by Isaac Florentine . Scott Adkins plays Boyka who now is severely hobbled by the knee injury suffered at the end of Undisputed 2, he's a heavyweight champ moved and locked to a high security pen on a murder conviction . No longer the feared prison fighter he was, he has declined so far that he is now good only for cleaning toilets , while waiting are a plethora of hunk , brutish contenders. But then a new prison fight tournament starts , it is an international affair, matching the best fighters from prisons around the globe, enticing them with the promise of freedom for the winner . As Boyka must reclaim his dignity and fight for his position in the tournament . The biggest fight of their lives ! . One man fighting for his honor , one man fighting for his future ..two enemies ..the Mob ..the ultimate Showdown !. At a far prison the World Heavyweight Champion is about to meet his Match !. One Deadly Tournament !. A Last Fight For Freedom !. Boyka is back !. This time he is fighting in the first ever inter-prison tournament with one knee !.

A crossover of boxing film along with prison flick with usual ingredients . Here eight elite fighters - prisoners from maximum security prisons around the world - are brought together by a powerful underground gambling syndicate for a secret competition by using different kinds of martial arts , such as : jeet kune do, Capoeira , Tae Kwan Do, and variants of MMA . With the odds against him overwhelming, Russian inmate Boyka will take on the syndicate his way and send the whole scheme crashing down around them . The outcome is an extremely violent film ; however , being entertainment enough , and both protagonists , Scott Adkins and Mykel Shannon Jenkins , are utterly convincing , in spite of the clichés . Containing uncredible and bloody fight scenes , confronting brute force , pitching , big punch from Scott Adkins against speed , ferocity from Marko Zaror as the Colombian Raul 'Dolor' Quinones . Along the way , there's a nod to the traditions and achievements of past title holders . The stunning starring are , Scott Adkins and Mykel Shannon Jenkins as Turbo , both of whom forming a sympathetic and peculiar buddy couple . Scott declared this movie to be the one he was most proud of , that's why the excellent , spectacular and well-staged fight scenes . They are well accompanied by a good support cast with plenty of familiar faces of the B-series , such as : Mark Ivanir , Hristo Shopov , Marko Zaror, Robert Costanzo, and the incombustible veteran secondary Vernon Dobtcheff . The motion picture was well directed by Isaac Florentine though with no originality . Valentine is a notorious actor/producer/writer/filmmaker and an expert on action and violent movies . Isaac cut his teeth in the American film industry working in the early 90s as a fight choreographer and a second unit director . Two-and-a-half years later, he directed his first feature, Desert Kickboxer. Despite its hectic sixteen-day schedule and ultra-low budget, Isaac's inspired direction was so impressive that HBO bought the film. Issac has directed the following ones : Indisputed II , Indisputed III , Ninja , Ninja II , Sofia , U. S. Seals II , Cold Harvest , Haigh voltage , Bridge of Dragons ,The Shepherd , Special Forces , Acts of vengeance and his last one : Seized. Since then, he has worked steadily as a director in film and television, and he continues to impress people with his creative visual style. Rating : 6/10 . Decent and acceptable action movie .

The original ¨Undisputed¨ 2002 was directed by Walter Hill with Wesley Snipes , Ving Rhames. It followed various sequels : ¨Undisputed 2 Last Man Standing¨ 2006 by Isaac Florentine with Michael Jai White , Scott Adkins . ¨Undisputed 3 Redemption¨ 2010 by Isaac Florentine with Scott Adkins , Mykel Shannon Jenkins . ¨Boyka: Undisputed¨ 2016 by Todor Chapkanov with Scott Adkins , Julian Vergov .

With a movie from direct-to-DVD kings Nu Image/Millennium Pictures, you know that you'll at least get good production values. When one of their movies has Isaac Florentine as the director, you know you are going to get some spectacular action sequences. Needless to say, "Undisputed III" has both of those things. I will admit that the script is pretty standard for this kind of thing - we never really get into the head of the protagonist and learn what is driving him, the bad guys also have no real personality, and how a couple of the characters managed to get together in the last few minutes of the movie is never explained. But we don't watch movies like this primarily for the writing. We watch them because we want some good action, and this movie without doubt has that. The fights are really spectacular, with Florentine using a perfect combination of expert choreography, good direction (the camera steps back enough so we see all of the fighters in the fights), and occasional and effective use of slow motion. I've enjoyed all the "Undisputed" movies, and if they make a fourth entry in the series, I'll definitely be there.

This movie was great, I really enjoyed the fight choreographers, the lack of special effects and jump cuts give realism to the fights. Scott Adkins is by far the best martial arts actor of the time, and also is the most underrated. Also I'll like to see Marko Zaror ("Dolor", Chilean actor) in other action movies like this, he has the potential to do more, like a protagonic role. The storyline is pretty weak, but it's compensated with the awesome fights and the bad-ass actors. I give this movie a 7 just because of the fights. Because like I said before, the storyline is weak and some characters are one-dimensional, without the fights the movie would be a 4 or 5.

I didn't expect much from this movie being the third one and classed as a B movie, but i have to say if you like one and two and you love action/fighting movies this is top notch. The acting isn't the best in the world, but action movies never are, Boyka is awesome and this is my favourite action movie for a while by far.

I know he was the bad guy type in number 2, but you soon warm to him here, it is a bit predictable. I think there will be a 4th installment too and ill be waiting for it.

A good fun action movie with quality fighting scenes, blood, corruption and a mean Russian :)

Just happened to watch this movie today. I haven't watched the first couple of movies of this franchise. So, having watched the trailers and pics I was expecting some Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) action and after watching it, I can just say that the movie just swept me off my feet. The movie does have some really good fights. The plot is predictable but the great MMA fights simply overshadow them. Just fasten your seat belts and enjoy the Martial arts fight ride. Kudos to Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins). Excellent work by him on this one.

Prison fights and Mixed Martial arts fans, you guys cannot afford to miss this one !!

So the third film in the Undisputed film series is the best martial arts film flick in my opinion that was released in the last years. I am really not big fan of the Undisputed films. The first one I really don't care about Walter Hill and Wesley Snipes film that I don't care. The second one was about the same character from the first film George Chambers who was played by Ving Rhames but was then replaced by Michael Jai White. So anyway I got this movie on Blu-ray and I love this film to death. This is the only Undisputed film I have because of Scott Adkins I am a hug fan of the actor and I think Yuri Boyka is his best role. The reason I did not get Undisputed II: Last Man Standing on Blu-ray was because I did not like Scott Adkins a bad guy and he lost a fight on the end but still the second one was a really good movie.

Undisputed III: Redemption is the best sequel, better story, the fights scene's are practical well done. This movie is f***** awesome it kicks the sh** out of Bloodsport III, Bloodsport III sucked Undisputed III: Redemption is the best of the best martial arts tournament movie in the last years.

This series goes with lower and lower budget, but it gets (a lot) better and better. There is no wire, no fake, all real actions. The fight scenes are unbelievable, the story is good as well. Action movies usually don't get good ratings, but Undisputed III: Redemption is surprisingly inspiring. It's like dark version of Rocky, other than that, you can see the change of Boyka and what makes him stronger. The characteristic of Boyka is quite impressive.

There was also the reason I just didn't like Boyka: Undisputed IV, because this film ended perfectly and it really did not need another sequel.

Russian inmate Boyka, now severely hobbled by the knee injury suffered at the end of Undisputed 2. No longer the feared prison fighter he was, he has declined so far that he is now good only for cleaning toilets. But when a new prison fight tournament begins - an international affair, matching the best fighters from prisons around the globe, enticing them with the promise of freedom for the winner - Boyka must reclaim his dignity and fight for his position in the tournament.

The fights are awesome they are well done well choreographed there aren't any slow motions in this real practical effects and real fights, real stunts are all well done. This movie in the series is my favorite film of all time I love it. This is Scott Adkins film and not Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, Hard Target 2 or the next Undisputed sequel this movie kicks ass. It is well acted from all the actors: Mark Ivanir as Gaga from the second film also returns which I am happy.

I love the prison setting and mostly I love the soundtracks score for this film: Jess Willard - I'm Still Standing and Max Boogie Overdrive - I Smell Blood those two songs are great songs used in this film. Bring It On was also used from the second film in this that I like that film.

There is like everything I love about this film. I love that Boyka does everything in this film to win and regain his honor. Mykel Shannon Jenkins was also good as Turbo, Boyka's friend and a cell mate I love the chemistry between them.

The rating get's 10/10 my favorite personal martial arts flick.

Undisputed III: Redemption is the third installment in franchise started by the 2002 action film Undisputed.

10/10 Grade: Bad Ass Seal Of Approval Studio: Nu Image Starring: Scott Adkins, Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Mark Ivanir, Hristo Shopov, Robert Costanzo, Marko Zaror Director: Isaac Florentine Producer: Israel Ringel Writter: David N. White Rated: R Running Time: 1 Hr. 36 Mins. Budget: $3.000.000 Box Office: $282,548

Adkins returns as Boyka, the prisoner who is an ace mixed martial arts fighter. He is nursing his knee which was broken by Michael Jay White at the end of the second part. He takes part in the local prison competition and predictably wins. Then he is send off for an "inter prison MMA" tournament wherein the winner will walk free. I must admit that this is the only part of the trilogy which I enjoyed. There is a modicum of effort which has gone on in the development of characters. True, the focus is still on the fight. However, there are scenes which show the development of camaraderie between Adkins and Jenkins who plays an American fighter. The fight sequences are choreographed superbly and are total value for money. The movie does not bore you. The ending is unintentionally laugh out loud. The acting and direction is above average. The background score is good. 3 out of 5 for the Undisputed 3. Watch it for Adkins and the action scenes. Some of the punches will take your breath away.

This has got to be one of the greatest fighting movies of all time! Unlike most movies with lame reasons for fighting, this movie is the complete opposite. They fight for their lives, they're salvation. the fighting scenes are very dramatic with excellent music to provide a sense of realism.

Fighting movies nowadays should adapt to this type of fighting in order to captivate us just like this one did.

Although the fighting elements from this movie and other movies are similar, this movie tends to use moves that you would not expect. Such as their kicks. They can jump 360 degrees in the air and land a roundhouse kick to the face. That's just awesome and original!

I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves to watch fights such as boxing, ufc, mma, strikeforce, etc.

"Undisputed III: Redemption" is strangely overrated on IMDB. This movie deserves a rating higher than 7? Granted, it's not as overrated as the movie "Warrior", with its ridiculous 8+ rating, but still: it makes you wonder if there is a contingent of die-hard MMA fans amongst voters who are responsible for pushing any action flick with variable martial arts styles into the stratosphere.

This third entry in the "Undisputed" franchise is actually pretty average. Of course, it lives and dies on the strength of its fight scenes, and these are above average, thanks to the extraordinary athleticism of Adkins, who has a body like Schwarzenegger but moves like Bruce Lee. It's also down to the director's creative use of slo-mo, and top notch choreography.

The bits in between the fights, though? Yeah, they aren't so great. I realise a lot of people might say that with a movie like this, nobody cares about the dramatic scenes, or the story. They care about the ACTION. That may be so, but what about an action movie which is, in fact, mostly dramatic?

Movies like "The Raid: Redemption", "Headshot" and "The Night Comes for Us" raised the bar for martial arts movies in the years after "Undisputed III". They pretty much were a non-stop testosterone ride. This one isn't; it falls back on tired buddy-movie (and prison movie) clichés to drag it along to the next impressive fight scene.

Please don't dismiss this movie because it doesn't have some big name actor in it. Fans of the trilogy will surely tell you that Undisputed II and III are far better films than the first. Scott Adkins returns as Uri Boyka and his martial arts moves are top notch. The prison fights are intense and the acting credible. This movie is what you paid for, straight forward action with little filler. This is not your average direct to video action flick this is the real deal! Look out for Scott Adkins because he's definitely got some talent and he looks a little like Ben Affleck only with acting skills. Make sure you watch Undisputed II first for the full experience and to see Michael Jai White kick butt.

Although I didn't like the first movie, after watching part 2 I thought this franchise might have potential. Yuri Boyka(Scott Adkins) who was the main villain in the second movie is back and this time he is the main character. Unlike the previous movie, this time it's more like a tournament where bunch of convicts must fight each other in the ring and be the winner in order to get freedom. The losers are however eliminated from the tournament. I really liked how Yuri Boyka's amazing fighting skills and choreography is more explored in this one. In fact this movie sort of does make Boyka seem like the most complete fighter in the world. People who seen the previous Undisputed movies know that this franchise is about fighting and you will get good amounts of it and pretty good ones at that. So if you want action you will most definitely get satisfying amounts of it in this one. For a B-movie most people won't be expecting much from it, I wasn't expecting much either but got almost all I wanted out of this type of movie. For anyone who is into fighting movies should check this one out. If there is ever a 4th installment, I will most definitely make sure to see it.

6.9/10

cant say i am very impressed with undisputed 3.it is like those 100s of badly directed Hollywood MMA action films. Now we know in such films , acting is not really a prerequisite but even by those std, there was some serious bad acting and silly dialogs throughout the film. The climax is super-cheesy .I really cringed at that moment where there is a bad animation shown for a fracture of the villains leg. wont recommend this film!

The Chinese ,korean and Thailand's are still the best in action genre.Hollywood will continue to be a wannabe just like MMA is a wannabe Muay Thai.
