Universal Soldier (1992)
Review by Glenn Burgess
Surprisingly enjoyable flick about a bunch of soldiers killed in Vietnam and resurrected as cyborgs. The project goes wrong when Van Damme experiences flashbacks to 'nam, and realises fellow cyborg, (Lundgren) is is old rival. Soon, Van Damme is on the run from this man. The ensuing chase is exciting, and bears more than a passing resemblance to other SF films. The films charm is partly in it's mix of formats. While in some ways it's like The Terminator, it also seems similar to RoboCop, in that Van Damme is struggling to come to terms with himself.
