Each also had their own antagonists engaged in underhanded villain plots, and to be sure, these got increasingly elaborate and Machiavellian, going from simple teenage high school drama in Never Back Down to the slimy politics of unscrupulous fight promoters in No Surrender. The first three Never Back Down movies were full of punishing fight scenes and the training montages typical of martial arts tournament movies. ![]() RELATED: Undisputed: How Scott Adkins Saved The Franchise While not much else has been revealed about the film aside from casting info (such as former MMA fighter Michael Bisping portraying one of the villains), this already shows that Revolt is raising the stakes considerably from those of the first three Never Back Down movies by bringing a kidnapping plot and an underground tournament into the mix like a throwback to the Bloodsport and Kickboxer movies. Revolt will see Olivia Popica play a woman who is kidnapped and forced to compete in an underground MMA tournament. Never Back Down: Revolt will see Kellie Madison in the director's chair, while the movie itself will be quite a different entity from the three before it. The series later continued in 2016 with Never Back Down: No Surrender, with White once again directing. Beginning with the original Never Back Down in 2008, the MMA series really found its groove with 2011's Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, which also marked the directorial debut of Michael Jai White. Fans of martial art action, give it a shot for sure.The upcoming Never Back Down: Revolt will change things up quite a bit for the Never Back Down series. I do not know the budget for this movie, but for a direct to DVD (not even blu ray, at least here in Quebec) its damn impressive what they accomplished. Its like 90s kickboxing movies goodness but at the same time with better direction, better acting, betting production value as a whole. In the end i had a ton of fun with that movie, its movies like that i am waiting for and i welcome so much the release once in a while. I don't want to go into a spoiler review so i will not say more, but lets just say that the focus in clearly on the main characters and there relationship together. The battle is not personal on that level. The only thing that people may have a grip with, just like i do, is that the movie lacks a great antagonist. Non the less Michael Jai White make it work super great. Good action, solid character development, the story is engaging even tough a bit less personal than in previous movies. But after having seen the movie, i do feel the movie is a lot better than the trailer. I mean it didn't looked as good as i had in mind for the next step in Case Walker story. So when the trailer drop, i was a bit surprised. It was inevitable that the third movie would focus on Case, after all Michael Jai White is a huge name in the martial art style and the story of the kids from the second movie was wrapped up. The character of Case Walker was good but so was the other ones as well. The second one came as a good surprise and i enjoyed it again a damn lot. I enjoyed a lot the first one back then, surprisingly even tough it had an Hollywood cast and was very commercial i loved it. ![]()
