That's the whole thing about Price that I eagerly anticipated. He was a relatively scrawny white bloke that didn't really fit the picture to match up with Bone, but the viewer got the distinct impression that he was every bit the fighter that Bone was. In the fight scene between the two, it appeared as though they were evenly matched, and we know who really ended the victor. I am glad they cast Price with the character they did, it worked perfectly.

I thought this was a top movie, but if you want to see another cracker of a fighting movie, take a look see at Undisputed 2, absolutely awesome.

I won't say the best fight movie ever but it definitely exceeded my expectations. In the last fight, Price was not some super human looking guy but I think the point was that skill wise he was as good as Bone which is why neither one landed a blow for a while. I think that he was also called the best fighter pound for pound.

Thanks for the list, but I feel you quite overrated a lot of movies compared to Blood & Bone

I thought Undisputed 2 was better than this. U2 had a good story as well as decent fight scenes. So generally more entertaining overall.

This has mostly good fight scenes but the story wasn't as good. Still a decent movie though.

One MAJOR problem with Undisputed 2 is that the hero won the final match TOO EASILY. The final match in a martial arts movie should be EPIC and the hero should have to go through hell to win it (like rocky 4). Bone beat Price a little too easily too I must admit.

The hero of a martial arts movie should really have to struggle for his final victory. Undisputed 2 would have been better if he had gotten hurt worse against boyka and maybe if he had gone down for a ten count, there were no ten counts in that fight, or if the fight had been longer than 3 rounds.

Just to prove that I am not some jerk who cannot be satisfied I LOVED the final match in UNDISPUTED 3, that was EPIC. Rocky 4 was epic too. And KICKBOXER would have been epic except for the stupid subplot about the kidnapping.

It would be COOL AS HELL if Bone had to face an even better fighter than Price in the sequel to Blood and Bone. Seeing Bone have to face an enemy every bit as badass as he is would really be cool. My perfect choice is the giant actor from LONGEST YARD or the remake of GET SMART. I read he is seven foot four and over 400 pounds. Get a personal trainer to give that guy a crash course in martial arts so he can perform for the movie and get him especially buffed with an exhausting workout routine then pit him against the six foot two 220 lbs Mike Jai White and you will see a dwarfing worse than Sylvester Stallone suffered in Rocky 4. Someone that scary would be PERFECT for Mike Jai White.

It would be neat to see Matt Mullins and Scott Adkins face Mike as different characters in different movies but with a role reversal where they face him as heros and he is the villain.

You're right about how a villain should be bigger than the hero, but I don't know about your choice of Dalip Singh Rana (that's the big guy's name). I know that while the guy is huge and imposing, he is not a bit athletic and doesn't match against MJW's fine, practiced moves. However, that could play into the movie, making it something like skill vs brute force.

It would be neat to see Matt Mullins and Scott Adkins face Mike as different characters in different movies but with a role reversal where they face him as heros and he is the villain.

MJW is making some movie in Romania right now with Scott and Matt and also Darren Shahlavi, who was Kano in the Mortal Kombat webseries from earlier this year. I don't know who are the heroes or villains though. Don't know ANYTHING about the project except that it's getting made, and it's choreographed by Larnell Stovall, who choreographed the fights in Undisputed III.

I would also love to see a spinoff where PRETTY BOY PRICE the hardest opponent in Blood and Bone has his own story as the "hero". It would be kind of like how the Undisputed films take the "villain" from the previous movie and make him the "hero" in the next.

Seeing that badass cool character do a spinoff as the protagonist would be cool. Unlike other martial arts movie villains (like Tong Po from Kickboxer or Brakus from Best of the Best 2) he was not irredeemably evil. He could function as a hero.
