Universal Soldier
Director: Roland Emmerich
1992 / 102min / 35mm
The film that launched a DTV empire and one of the very finest starring vehicles for “The Muscles from Brussels,” Universal Soldier features Jean-Claude Van Damme as Luc Deveraux, a Vietnam War casualty who is resurrected decades after being KIA. Returning as a souped-up, genetically augmented cybersoldier courtesy a top secret military initiative, Luc is forced to go on the run, evading the agency that created him and his unhinged former sergeant (Dolph Lundgren), beneficiary of the same physical upgrades that Luc has received but scarcely more mentally stable than he ever was. A meaty slab of blunt force trauma action, and a lyrical ode to totally jacked, yoked-up dudes.
