Private Luc Deveraux and his sadistic sergeant, Andrew Scott, got killed in Vietnam. The army uses their bodies for a secret project - reanimating dead soldiers as deadly obedient cyborgs. However, their memories come back too. Luc Devreux and Andrew Scott are US soldiers who kill each other in Vietnam when Devreux interferes with Scott's slaughter of a friendly village. Listed as MIA, they are actually flash-frozen and shipped to a top-secret facility where a team of scientists led by Colonel Perry turn the two, along with other select specimens, into super-soldiers known as "UniSols." While helping foil a terrorist takeover of the giant McKinley Dam, Devreux starts having flashbacks to his former life, and makes a break from his colleagues. The increasingly human Devreux teams up with TV reporter Veronica Roberts, while they are chased across much of the Midwest by Scott, and also by Perry and the police, who capture them long enough for Scott to find them. After a chase, thinking that they killed Scott in a truck crash, Veronica takes Devreux home to his parents in Louisiana, only to have Scott catch up with them for a brutal confrontation. Earlier comment by some IMDb member:<br/><br/>"Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren star as two soldiers that were actually killed in Vietnam but are kept alive by the U.S. military and regenerated to become types of super soldiers. It is as dumb as it sounds. Anyway Lundgren starts to create havoc all over the desert and it is up to Van Damme to stop him in this laughable action film that looks cheap and rushed. The screenplay is corny and the direction is near non-existent. 2 stars out of 5."<br/><br/>And my reply: Where have you been living mate. The movie is from 1992 and Roland didn't make any cheap ass movie like you are assuming. For all of you, this is pure action like you are used to get from Van Damme and Lundgren.<br/><br/>8/10 Superb. Universal Soldier is a solid Action movie. It has all the desirable elements, a decent story line, violence that isn't overly gruesome, some hot bodies and some good acting.<br/><br/>I enjoyed this movie immensely and recommend it to everyone as long as they don't mind a little violence. Universal Soldier is another goony banquet of violence composed almost entirely of leftovers. It's a Frankenstein-monster of a movie with parts of a dozen or more films stitched and stapled together to make one lurching melodrama. [11 July 1992, C10]
