Why this and not Undisputed IV?


The star and director reunite and it´s nice, but why was this project easier to get the money to do? I thought Ninja didn't do very well in the box office, while both Undisputed sequels did.

I remember seeing a video interview with Scott Adkins a while ago and he said Undisputed 3 didn't actually do that well due to a lot of piracy. It's cinema run was very limited and they were probably looking more to the DVD for profits. I also remember Ninja being a lot easier to get on DVD than U3.

The other thing is they can probably only do so much with Boyka and the same formula, but I would still love to see more of him even if it is out of the prison format.

The script for U4 is already written, he said that himself. Maybe Ninja is safer to do for him stuntwise after recovering from a knee injury.

He said the studio was more keen to make Ninja II first but Undisputed 4 will be coming hopefully by the end of the year
