YMMV / Undisputed III: Redemption

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Not to the extent of Boyka in the previous installment, but many people lamented Andriago' and Chai's deaths because they would have wanted to see more of them in future films.
• Even Better Sequel: Popular opinion is that this film is superior to the previous one, with the main strong points being that it has more and crazier fighting scenes, much less Narmy moments, a better secondary cast, and finally, that Boyka is a more likable character than Chambers in many senses.
• Fight Scene Failure:
  • In this movie, Boyka is supposed to have a grievously injured knee affecting his performance. His fights have impressive choreography, it's rather the Wrestling Psychology applied that is surprisingly bad - he somehow has a more acrobatic fighting style than in the previous film, and although attacks to that leg do visibly hurt him, he's usually right again with acrobatic kicks without any lasting effect a few seconds after.
  • Pay attention to the flying armbar Silva nails on Boyka during their fight: Crowder visibly fails to grip Adkins with his hands or legs in any way, which forces Adkins to intentionally frontflip himself to go along Crowder's macaco backflip, as if Silva's kicking leg was pulling his arm and somehow this had the effect of flipping Boyka over. In a film with so much choreographic quality, it's inexplicable that they left this take on the final cut.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In 2013, just three years after this movie was released, former UFC champion Anderson Silva (a fighter well known for commonly doing very cinematic moves in the cage) lost a fight against Chris Weidman exactly the same gruesome way Quiñones loses to Boyka. ^note And in 2021, bizarrely enough, it happened to Chris Weidman too. Eesh.
• He Really Can Act: while not exactly Oscar material, Scott Adkins does a fine job of playing Boyka as a stone-cold badass who nevertheless has a humane, and often surprisingly vulnerable, side to him.
• Narm:
  • Boyka is supposed to be shocked and alarmed to find Turbo beaten down on his cell, but Scott Adkins's Dull Surprise expression just ruins the moment.
  • Boyka's fancy imploding 450º turnbuckle evasion against Silva can a bit too much to take seriously, especially if we are meant to believe Boyka has an injured knee.
  • Dolor's fight with Lam Chai is supposed to establish his badass cred, but the two are so comically mismatched size-wise that it's kinda hard to believe that he beat him up for any other reason than sheer physicality. Maybe in order to prove his might they should have not pitted him against the smallest and funniest competitor in the tournament.
• One-Scene Wonder:
  • Andriago Silva, played by usual One-Scene Wonder Lateef Crowder, gives out what many consider the best fights of the film with his impressively fluid capoeira.
  • Lam Chai, played by Illram Choi. Unlike the rest of the first round jobbers, and despite being toyed with and thoroughly wrecked by Dolor, he shines with his own light thanks to his wild kicks and epic Bruce Lee-like charisma. It helps that he's TINY next to Dolor, but still gives one hell of an effort.
  • On the non-fighter side of things there's one hapless prison guard who tries, and fails, to assert his authority over Boyka; the look on his face as he realizes he's basically Bullying a Dragon is absolutely priceless. The same poor schmuck is then shown during Boyka-Dolor fight wincing in sympathy when Dolor breaks his leg on Boyka's knee, likely mirroring the viewers' reaction.
• Squick: Dolor's leg breaking in half after hitting Boyka's knee. Even more when you learn this actually happens with some frequency in MMA and kickboxing fights.
