Flush with the riches of making sixty-thousand ninja themed films during the eighties, Godfrey Ho headed off to the USA to deliver what his fans had been clamouring for: A film with a cohesive narrative. Knowing that the lack of ninja action may have caused rioting throughout the world, Godfrey created a film involving a kickboxing serial killer who likes to take the eyeballs from his victims, taking place in a world where everyone is a kickboxer.Stingray is a Kevin Keegan haired, bug-eyed nutter who indulges in death matches and is already pretty unhinged by the time his wife leaves him (her psychologist advises her to do so, and it's good advice as Stingray rapes his wife over the dinner table before tucking into a steak). Coming home to find a Dear John letter, he flashes back to his childhood, or at least someone's childhood, when his mother left him for some guy. Now he thinks every lady with dark hair and flowery dresses is Anna, and they're all coming home with Stingray! Now Stingray's going about attacking couples, getting into Kung Fu fights, shouting "Anna!" and pulling people's eyeballs out, and one of his victims is the sister of street fighter…oh I've forgotten her name already, so I'll just call her Cynthia. Cynthia's out for revenge, so she's going around kicking in the heads of anyone that knows the 'Eagle Claw Technique'. Also, there's a cop going around hoofing people in the nuts too, so he teams up with Cynthia to find Stingray to give him ten rapid to the jaw.Expect New Jack Swing music and styles, bad acting (especially from Stingray, but he's entertaining as hell), cheesy dialogue, and a Pagga every five minutes or so, and you've got a Godfrey Ho classic on your hands. There's a few stand out fights, a bit of gore and loads of neon lighting. It makes a lot more sense than those ninjas films too.In far, far future when polytheism is reintroduced, I reckon Godfrey Ho will be deified.

And now, having read through all the reviews – naturally thumbing down all those that deny the films greatness – and seeing that everything has been said, I feel I must have my say.How could I forget the first time I watched this movie with my buddies? We were laughing like imbeciles, even hours later, bouncing around the room, swinging from chandeliers while defecating against the walls. RIP, Bobby, watching the film was too much for him: his heart and brain imploding simultaneously. Mike ended his days in a lunatic asylum and Fred, well, let's just say he's still somewhere out there, hunting for female eyes. How could any of us suspected the mind-shattering experience that is "Undefeatable"? What sets director Godfrey Ho apart from the James Camerons, Stanley Kubricks or Ed Woods, is the fact that the man isn't really a director. Actually, he's a former accountant from Hong Kong, who came up with the glorious idea of buying, stealing and re-editing leftover B- and C-movies, splicing them up with footage of Europeans wearing silly ninja costumes and then selling the crap to idi… , pardon, to viewers like me. Sadly, after cheating everybody with whom he had ever worked, Godfrey has given up on directing. Instead, being the gift-that-keeps-giving that he is, he now teaches film-making at the university of Hong Kong.The second time I encountered "Undefeatable" was when I opted against "Titanic" for a romantic evening with my girlfriend. In that night, I asked her to marry me – she accepted, still a little shook up by the experience and we've been happily married since. Although, nowadays I sometimes suspect that she drinks, after having given birth to a little two-headed girl, whom we named Godfrey Ho-Marie.And now, as the warden is about to return me to my room (which I share with a giant Indian chief), I still hum to myself that old Frank Sinatra song: "Undefeatable, that's what you are … un-de-featable …." As to rating this film – I'd give it all the points in the world!

By conventional standards Undefeatable is a terrible film. But thankfully I don't judge movies by conventional standards. Hence, I declare Undefeatable a quite brilliantly entertaining action flick.The setting is a city somewhere in America where every inhabitant is an expert in kung fu. This city is being terrorized by a sociopath who is killing women who resemble his recently departed wife. The sister of one of his victims teams up with a cop who is investigating the killings and together they go in pursuit of the madman.This is a Cynthia Rothrock movie and she plays the sibling street fighter. She is certainly the most accomplished actress in the film which should give you some indication of the standard of thespian talent on display here. The acting is universally and quite magnificently consistently atrocious. Are these people really technically actors? It's hard to believe they are but I have a great deal of admiration for their collective rubbishness, as it is one of the many things that serve this trashy film so well. Cynthia's two male co-stars, the cop John Miller and psychopath Don Niam are a bad movie lovers dream duo. They deliver their lines hilariously throughout. Niam in particular has to be given special mention. He does put in a truly unforgettable performance as the villain. His wild-eyed staring and cheesy posturing are very, very funny; he is the most over-the-top man in the world. And then there is his heroically ridiculous permed mullet. Never since Kevin Dillon sported a barnet more terrifying than the title alien in the remake of The Blob have I seen a haircut so astounding. At one point Niam even sprays two red dye lines into it; this of course only serves to highlight the ludicrous nature of this headage even more. Although John Miller and Cynthia Rothrock are great fun in this, Don Niam is the star of the show.Undefeatable does not have pacing problems. It moves along fast, with one hugely entertaining piece of nonsense after another. The fights and stunts are simultaneously well done and really silly. The quite legendary final showdown is well worth waiting for. It's a master-class in imaginative funniness. I'm not going to describe this fight because (a) if you've seen it before then really it speaks for itself and you will know words can simply do it no justice, or (b) if you haven't seen it then I wouldn't want to prime you at all for what you are about to see.I don't really know if they realized just how hilarious this film was when they filmed it but I doubt it somehow as the lead performers certainly seem to be playing things completely straight, This, of course, adds ten-fold to the ensuing hilarity. In the final analysis, Undefeatable works splendidly as entertainment.

The mighty Godfrey Ho (hiding behind the name Hall here) proves once again just why he is held in such high esteem amongst bad movie lovers with this typically entertaining flick that features Kung Fu queen Cynthia Rothrock and surely one of the most memorable psychopaths ever committed to celluloid! Said loony (played hilariously OTT by Don Niam) is raping, torturing, mutilating and killing women who bear any resemblance to his wife who quite understandably walked out on him due to his somewhat antisocial ways. One of his victims however, turns out predictably to be the feisty Ms Rothrock's sister thus prompting our high kicking heroine to seek revenge. Along the way she is helped by a good hearted cop (who also just happens to be a martial arts expert and muscle man to boot!)......In fact, oddly enough, everyone and their uncle in this flick seems to be adept at martial arts!Yep, joyous action is very much on the bill here with some pretty good fight sequences including one in which our mad villain rips out some poor guys eyeballs and knocks him over an upper story of a car park (an excellent stunt) and of course the obligatory finale in which both macho male leads go toe to toe (after ripping off their shirts!) in the basement of a hospital.Great fun from start to finish and amazingly for Ho, this is in fact a FULL, yes I repeat a FULL film, not a cut & paste effort(!!!) Truly, we are honoured Godfrey!
