Undisputed IV: Boyka Is Back

Saw this on a dvd which I own. In fact i own the dvds of all the parts now. The summary- After the events of Undisputed Redemption, Boyka has found religion. He still fights in the ring but donates most of the profits to the church. He has spent a lot of money to repair his broken knee but events force him to travel back to Russia where he is a wanted convict. This movie is for the fans of the series n fans of Boyka aka Adkins. Martial arts fans will not be disappointed. The fight sequences are frequent and never, ever become tiresome. Scott Adkins once again got into the skin of the character. The villain, Martyn Ford is an intimidating one with height of 6.8 n weight of 320 lbs. Truly an indomitable n an invincible one. The plot is a bit lame. The mafia boss who owns the town n he has his eye on a young n beautiful widow who is in debt. But who cares. We look forward for this franchise for Boyka's kicks n boy what an awesome fight choreography we get to see in this 4th installment. Isaac Florentine who directed the terrific Undisputed 2 n 3 n Savate didn't direct this one. Inspite of the micro budget, this movie rocks.

Great. Having seen the previous films this film lives up to its predecessors and it does well at delivering action packed excitement. Boykas character development was great.

Scott Adkins is still at the top of his game. None of the fights really stand up to the final fight from part III but they are all solid. In general I think the fights are a little less electrifying than the ones from the previous two installments, but very good and entertaining, if not great. Martyn Ford is a good final boss and of all the really big bad guys in martial arts movies is definitely one of the scarier looking. Very streamlined and focused, the plot is a vehicle to move us from one fight to the next and to demonstrate Boyka's progression as a character. Boyka has a coherent character arch and Scott Adkins performance is quite good even when he's not kicking the s*** out of people. Hoping for a part V.

I am a big fan of these movies but I had a bit of apprehension as the same director wasn't doing this movie but I thought I would still watch it. I was shocked to see an eight vote out of ten when the movie hasn't even come out, but we all know about fake votes just to get people to watch a film. As with a lot of cheaply made films, the main bad guy, Martin Ford in this case, is given no lines, unlike the previous two films. Your typical cheap movie bad guy, grunts and groans his scenes through. Also unlike the past two movies, Martin Ford is not a fighter, yes a big guy who looks scary but his fight scenes then suffer as he is given dreadful techniques to do in the fights. Scott does what he does best as with the rest of the movies and this will just be another stepping block for him. He's good but in this it feels as if it is another film that will not take into the big league which is a shame. Will they make another one, yes as these are his best films to date, his style of fighting suits these movies, so we will all wait for the next one and let's just hope they learn from their mistakes. There are plenty of martial artists out there that can do a good job of being a bad guy. The ending of this movie feels a little pushed as they didn't know what to do with the character. My score is a forced six as I am a fan of the movies, but most people would give it an honest five.

Boyka Undisputed was worth the wait. Unlike many fight movies this movie have a heart. This is one of the best fight movie of the decade and the best of the year, which had movies like Kickboxer: Vengeance which was an utter disappointment.

Moreover the character of Boyka has been molded so wonderfully that you can feel the pain of the character when he tries to smile and feel his rage in silence.

Scott Adkins has done an a wonderful job and Boyka is a piece of art. The best part is this isn't just a Fight movie... Every now and then there, when you are unprepared and unguarded this movie hits you in such soft parts that you might tear up too.

Nobody ever thought that Undisputed would later create an antagonist named 'Boyka' who would be loved so much that his name would come before the name of the actual movie i.e UNDISPUTED.
