I still think a movie about this guy would be awesome, but a documentary like this can definitely help lay the groundwork for that.
This sequel is helmed by cult b - action film director Isaac Florentine, starring martial artists Michael Jai White and Scott. I actually wrote a film script years ago that told his story. This is the sequel to Walter Hill's 2002 prison boxing film Undisputed.
