Kino Lorber Studio Classics | 94 min | R | Release Date: September 24, 2024
Genres: Action, Sports, Crime, Drama
Kino Lorber’s new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative delivers a clean, muscular presentation true to the film’s gritty boxing aesthetic. The HDR10 grade brings out rich contrast and shadow depth, especially in the prison interiors where light shafts and sweat-glazed bodies pop against dark surroundings. Colors are neutral but lifelike — orange jumpsuits, brick textures, and skin tones all carry realism and heat.
Grain is naturally rendered with no signs of DNR or sharpening. Fine detail in tattoos, boxing wraps, and facial expressions is crisp and cinematic. It’s the best Undisputed has ever looked, easily surpassing the previous DVD and Blu-ray transfers.
Presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, the mix hits hard where it counts. Punches and body blows thump with convincing impact, while the score by Stanley Clarke fills the soundstage with smooth, percussive energy. Dialogue remains perfectly centered and clear even during chaotic match sequences. Rear activity is subtle—crowd roars, prison ambience, metallic clanks—but it gives the space believable life. There’s solid LFE extension without distortion, keeping the soundtrack tight and grounded.
Kino’s disc includes a solid mix of new and archival content:
While not a loaded Arrow-style package, it’s strong for a catalog title — Hill’s commentary alone adds great insight into his stripped-down approach to modern boxing stories.
Undisputed punches its way onto 4K with the kind of precision Kino Lorber has become known for — a sharp, filmic presentation paired with clean, powerful sound and worthwhile extras. Hill’s hard-edged direction, Snipes’ intensity, and Rhames’ commanding presence all benefit from the format’s clarity. It’s the definitive version of a criminally underrated fight film.
