Undefeatable

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A 1994 martial arts action film starring Cynthia Rothrock, John Miller, and Don Niam. The movie was filmed in the United States, but was a Hong Kong production directed by Godfrey Ho. This film, like many a low budget production, would have faded into obscurity if not for the modern miracle of YouTube. The film's climatic final battle was uploaded onto YouTube, gaining the Undefeatable a reputation as a cult classic.

For the those that are wondering what the movie is about and what leads to the final fight, Kristy Jones (Cynthia Rothrock) is a young street tough looking to make some easy money for her sister's college tuition by participating in underground matches. Kristy's fights catch the attention of police detective Nick DiMarco (John Miller), who decides to cut her a break and help her out in his own way. Meanwhile, a deranged underground fighter known by the nickname Stingray (Don Niam) has pushed his wife, Anna, too far causing her to separate from him. Stingray does not take it well and sets out to find her, kidnapping, raping, and eventually killing any woman who resembles his wife. Nick is on the case, but without any leads. Unfortunately, things take a nasty turn when Kristy's sister also becomes one Stingray's victims. Now Kristy and Nick must team up and find Stingray before it's too late.
