Undefeatable | 4K UHD + Bu-ray (Vinegar Syndrome)
Available soon from Vinegar Syndrome is the 4K UHD/Blu-ray for Undefeatable (aka Bloody Mary Killer), a 1993 Hong Kong action film directed by cult director Godfrey Ho (Princess Madam, Ninja Destroyer) and starring martial arts legend, Cynthia Rothrock (Blonde Fury, Righting Wrongs).
Official details:
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 (Cyprus Tigers).
