We get a film which has a different feel despite the fact that the same theme is present as the first: is the ‘outside’ champ the best or the ‘inside champ’? However, this time another layer is added as we also get the Boxing vs Mixed Martial Arts theme explored between both fighters. Ultimately it’s a film about finding out who the true champion of the world is by pitting two fighters against one another who normally would be unable to fight. It’s a decent film but the weakest of the series. This film doesn’t have the same color and energy of the following films and the fights aren’t as high flying since they’re confined to the rules of boxing. Naturally, a fight is organised between the two to see who the real world champion is. Once there, controversy arises as people start to speculate who is the better fighter: the “outside champ” Chambers, or the prison Champ Hutchens – played by Wesley Snipes. But Chambers also has some personal life issues outside the ring which ends up landing him in prison.
He’s the world boxing champion who seems unbeatable.
Undisputed follows Ving Rhames’ character George Chambers, a character based loosely on Mike Tyson. Here’s the thing, this film is actually not too bad, it’s just a non-event compared to the other 3 films. Let’s start back at the beginning! Undisputed
So for those who haven’t experienced all of the Undisputed films, I wanted to cover them and give some perspective on the film franchise as the lead character of George Chambers started off and passed the torch to Boyka over the years. It’s crazy though, he wasn’t even in the first film and was a villain in the second film! So he’s evolved from a background role into an iconic leading character!
