If you have watched it for free then you should buy the dvd!!!


The film aint out yet and people are posting reviews from watching it through an illegal streaming service. Regardless of how you feel about the film you should buy a copy to support this niche industry or we wont be seeing any more of this type of film. Undisputed 4 almost never happened due to the incredibly high level of piracy undisputed 3 suffered from. This film is availlable to pre order on amazon for £6.99, do Scott a favour and go reserve your copy.

As far as I know this isn't available in the UK on bluray ( neither was Undisputed 3), so lot of people who want the bluray are just going to watch it online. I will be buying a copy of the region A bluray, which has a few interesting extra features.

Edit, ok it is coming out on Blu In the UK, so hopefully it should sell well.

I am all for supporting niche genres and all the people who truly need supporting. However you are very wrong. I am getting tired of this old argument that piracy ruins the film industry because it's not true. You assume that every download or online watch equals a purchase which is not the case at all. Also people even if they review negatively about a film or whatever they are reviewing they are advertising that product for free. It might not be the good kind of advertising still enough poor souls who will be curious enough to buy the product anyway.

The number one reason most movie projects get cancelled now is because of the big studios not wanting to take any risk. Niche genres by definition are risky. But when did that stop the film industry from making the films of that genre? Because despite what big studios think a lot of film makers next to making money want to be creative. The film industry always had been a business but they cared about giving us good films. Now they just want to make a quick buck without investing too much. They want a sure thing. Also who are crying the most about piracy? The people who actually made the film? Or the big studios who did not make the money they expected to make?

I think you'll hear Scott Adkins complaining a ton about people pirating the films he makes. If its a small enough target audience these films are being made for in the first place then having them readily availlable to watch for free online is never going to help dvd/blu ray sales. Not like these films get multi screen cinema releases so they certainly do need all the sales they can muster to continue being able to make future films.

Personally i watched it online cause i wanted the french track. I will probably drop it a rent on xbox live film store when(if) its avalaible there to support. But its always a problem for me in Quebec, those movies almost never come here in our language and we have to get a version of the film from France trough internet, and as you know its not the same region of DVD in europe. So online become the only way. I would rent so much more movies trough xbox store if they had french track. I get its probably a matter of liscence and such but its sooo annoying and it make it harder for us to rent/buy them legally.

Normally to be fairly honest i rent the movies at the video store. Yes those still exist in Quebec, Canada. I dunno if the movie compagnies get a cut of each rentals or whatever, or the store pay a liscence or something, but thats how i rent my movies. The got french, there much cheaper to rent (3$ instead of the 6$ on xbox) If the movie is great, ill buy it.

I am all to legally watch the movies and all, but allow me a decent way to do so... lol. I don't feel like paying a blu ray 20$ + 10$ of shipping for a movie ill watch once and find slightly above average. Most movies are rentals for me, this one included.

In any case, when Boyka comes out, for this one ill make an exeption, as i loved so much the third movie, ill get a fully price blu ray version with an english track only, cause its boyka, to fully support, but it still bother me you know to not be able to have undisputed 3 in my collection next to 1 and 2 with a french track.

Yes i put a lot of emphasis on this, because its my native language, my written english is ok, my listening of it(especially when accents are involved) is not the same...

In any case, what they could do is actually make a kickstarter to make those movies, i would pledge for this, and/or Scott could set a patreon or something.

With a kickstarter backing you can put lots of pledging options, for exemple have your copy be signed by Scott with a personal touch, have your name in the credits, stuff like that. Its a cool touch for the fans and help the movie be made.

In any case, i agree with the guy above that even if we don't put all the max money on a movie, when we talk about it, write reviews, its some good advertising for them. At least we can help in that way.

Alice is the worst character of all time, she need to die in the last movie. Chris/Jill are RE !!!

Why buy it? It's already on netflix streaming.

Scott Adkins made $5 million dollars this year. He can complain all he wants, if he doesn't like it he can get into another industry.

BTW: I will be watching Boyka 4 for free too. 

Then he needs to choose parts with better scripts. Or at least speak up and say, "Hey, you know this scene of me dodging rocket launchers in the middle of a forest is pretty stupid."

I watched it for free, and someone owes me for the 103 minutes I wasted.

So by "the film ain't out yet," you mean "besides streaming on Netflix, the largest film streaming service in America," right?

*facepalm*
