Undefeatable (1993) 4K UHD coming from Vinegar Syndrome

[whiteberry]

Kristi Jones (Cynthia Rothrock) is a street tough member of a martial arts gang known as the Red Dragons. In an attempt to go straight and leave the gang life behind, Kristi participates in mafia run back alley street fights in an attempt to win enough money to put her sister through college. Meanwhile, a sadistic fighter known as Stingray becomes increasingly violent while taking part in unsanctioned fights to the death. When Stingray's wife leaves him due to his increasingly aggressive behavior, Stingray loses his grip on reality and begins raping, murdering, and removing the eyes of any woman that resembles his wife. When Stingray turns his murderous rage on Kristi's sister, Kristi has no choice but to reluctantly team up with Nick, a martial arts trained detective, in an attempt to stop Stingray's rampage before more women turn up dead.

Directed by notorious Hong Kong filmmaker, Godfrey Ho (under one of his many pseudonyms), UNDEFEATABLE has obtained true cult status thanks in large part to its now infamous final fight. Starring the always bad-ass Cynthia Rothrock (Righting Wrongs, Martial Law) in one of her most memorable roles, as well as an impressive martial arts performance by John Miller (Honor and Glory), and featuring an eye-popping performance by Don Niam in one of his few acting roles. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present one of our most requested titles, UNDEFEATABLE, for the first time on Blu-ray and 4K UHD, restored from the original camera negative. Also, included in this set is the rarely seen alternate Hong Kong cut released under the title BLOODY MARY KILLER. In true Godfrey Ho fashion, the film was re-edited into an almost new movie, featuring more fight scenes, an entirely new subplot involving Triad gangsters, as well as additional characters, including known martial arts actor Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat).

Cynthia Rothrock in 4K? Hell yes!

[Lutz]

Unbelievable VS are releasing both SHOWGIRLS and UNDEFEATABLE two all time camp classics in the same month.

[meremortal]

Dare I say a grail b-action release. This movie is absolutely ridiculous and over the top silliness. Wasn't expecting it on blu, let alone 4k. The new trailer looks fantastic.

Never seen or heard of this film before. Just watched that clip. Now i want it!

[cooey]

Made my first direct order with VS for this (and threw in the 4K release of Freeway to make use of the Halfway sale)

What are VS like with customs when ordering from the UK?

Can only go on my own experience but never a problem and packaging Amazon could learn from. Have all the VSU with Showgirls on order and several normal titles all direct from Vinegar Syndrome.

[Mister C]

This is cool. I was up late shopping during the VS Flash Sale so I blind bought the everything collection. Hope this is as fun as everyone says

[kchrules]

Day 1. I’ve been waiting for the HD release of this movie

No customs issues at all. Packages come through FedEx and VS handles any charges on their end.

I remember the first time I watched this on VHS I had to rinse my eyes out with disinfectant afterwards.

I find it hilarious (sorry but I do...) that some people pre-ordered this from VS as a "secret title".



Actual leaked conversation:

Cynthia Rothrock: Godfrey, this is the worst piece of shit you ever made!

Godfrey Ho: Really? Just wait until you see my Hong Kong re-edit, Bloody Mary Killer!

[craigbarr2003]

Happy for the people who dig it, but I think I'm passing on this one. They might've had me if it were CHINA O'BRIEN I & II (which I believe VS also has) or RAGE AND HONOR I & II. If they can get some of those old Imperial titles, like ULTERIOR MOTIVES, I'd also be down. I thought that one would've ended up at Moonstone Ent like some of the other Imperial catalog, but that looks to not be the case.

[Darren75]

Ordered Undefeatable, Showgirls, A Blade in the Dark, Prospect and Villains.

Purely because I'm not paying $18 shipping for only one movie.

[mediaguy]

ordered. If you are looking for academy award winning films, Rothrock titles of any variety don't rise to that level ... but ... they are fun if you know what to expect.

That gif is how I felt (though I would have been happy with the socks or mits). Did it on a lark, will contact them to see if they will let me cancel. Movies like this definitely fill a need, just not any of mine, unfortunately.

EDIT: and cancelled. $67 back to spend on some other films.

[stardragon9]

Ordered. Never seen this one before, but I am willing to take a look so we can get more Cynthia on blu ray

I really hope we can get China O'Brien 1 & 2, Lady Dragon 1 & 2 and Rage & Honor 1 & 2 sometime. Norton and Rothrock made an awesome duo to watch fight.

That's top notch acting from these kind of movies I love that line. YEA! CYA!

Don't expect that level of Rothrock with this one... you need to be in more of a "Miami Connection" mindset when going into it, lol. Honor and Glory is an equally cheesy "companion piece" that was shot prior to this (also by Godfrey "Hall" Ho), but Undefeatable is definitely crazier due to its creeping into slasher film and "diet giallo" territory. And as with MANY Vinegar Syndrome titles, it's also been on Red Letter Media's "Best of the Worst" (beware of spoilers if you decide to watch, lol):
