Universal Soldier is a 1992 American military science-fictionaction film directed by Roland Emmerich, produced by Allen Shapiro, Craig Baumgarten, and Joel B. Michaels, and written by Richard Rothstein, Christopher Leitch, and Dean Devlin. The film tells the story of Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a former U.S. Army soldier who was killed in the Vietnam War in 1969, and returned to life following a secret military project called the ’Universal Soldier’ program. However, he finds out about his past, though his memory was erased, and escapes alongside a young TV journalist (Ally Walker). Along the way, they have to deal with the return of his archenemy, Sgt. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), who had lost his sanity in the Vietnam War, and became a psychotic megalomaniac, intent on killing him and leading the Universal Soldiers.
Universal Soldier was released by TriStar Pictures on July 10, 1992. The film has a 35% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed $95 million worldwide against its budget of $23 million and spawned a series of films: theatrical sequel Universal Soldier: The Return, alternative direct-to-video sequel Universal Soldier: Regeneration, standalone direct-to-video film Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, and two direct-to-TV films, Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business.Plot[edit]
Universal Soldier II was straight “II” to television - specifically The Movie Channel. The original Universal Soldier featured characters played by Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren - and they’re back! Oh, not Jean-Claude or Dolph, sorry for any confusion there, the characters are back, played by other people.

In 1969, a U.S. Army team is ordered to secure a village against North Vietnamese forces. Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) discovers members of his squad and villagers murdered, all with their ears removed. Deveraux finds his sergeant, Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), who has gone insane and made a necklace of severed ears, and who is holding a young couple hostage. Deveraux, nearing the end of his tour of duty, tries to reason with Scott, who executes the man and orders Deveraux to shoot the girl to prove his loyalty. Deveraux refuses, and tries to save the girl, but she is killed by a grenade thrown by Scott. After shooting each other to death, Deveraux and Scott’s corpses are recovered by a second squad and cryogenically frozen, their deaths classified as ’missing in action’.
Deveraux and Scott’s corpses are reanimated decades later (but with their memories lost) and selected for the ’Universal Soldier’ (UniSol) program, an elite counter-terrorism unit. They are deployed via an Aero Spacelines Mini Guppy to the Hoover Dam to resolve a hostage situation. The team demonstrates their superior training and physical abilities against the terrorists, such as when GR76 (Ralf Möller) withstands close-range rifle fire. After the area is secured, Deveraux begins to regain memory from his former life upon seeing two hostages who strongly resemble the villagers he tried to save in Vietnam, causing him to disobey commands from the control team and become unresponsive.
In the mobile command center, the UniSols are revealed to be genetically augmented soldiers with enhanced self-healing abilities and superior strength, but they also tend to overheat and shut down. They are given a neural serum to keep their minds susceptible and their past memories suppressed. Because of the glitch, Woodward (Leon Rippy), one of the technicians on the project, feels removing Deveraux from the team until he can be further analyzed may be better, but UniSol commander Colonel Perry (Ed O’Ross) refuses. TV journalist Veronica Roberts (Ally Walker), who was fired while covering the Hoover Dam incident, tries to get a story on the UniSol project to get her job back. Roberts sneaks onto the base with a cameraman, discovering GR76 immersed in ice, still alive despite normally fatal injuries.
When her presence is noticed, Deveraux and Scott are ordered to capture her dead or alive. She flees to her cameraman’s car, but they crash. Scott coldly murders the cameraman against orders before Deveraux stops him from shooting Roberts. Together, Deveraux and Roberts escape in a UniSol vehicle. Colonel Perry insists on preventing knowledge of the UniSol program getting out, and sends the remaining UniSols to find Deveraux and Roberts.
Deveraux and Roberts flee to a motel, where Roberts discovers she has been framed for the murder of her cameraman. Deveraux collapses from overheating and has to take an ice bath. The UniSols completely destroy the motel, but Deveraux and Roberts hide in a bed until they leave and steal a car. The couple flees to a gas station, where Deveraux has Roberts remove a tracking device from his leg. They set a trap and when the UniSols arrive the gas station explodes. Colonel Perry terminates the mission after this failure and Scott’s previously insane personality resurfaces, causing him to kill Perry and all but two doctors. Deveraux and Roberts sneak onto the command center bus and steal UniSol documents. Scott then takes control of the mindlessly obedient UniSol team, commanding them to kill Deveraux and Roberts.
Using information from the stolen documents, Roberts contacts a doctor linked to the program. Roberts and Deveraux meet Dr. Christopher Gregor (Jerry Orbach), who informs them that the UniSol project was started in the 1960s to develop the perfect soldier. Although they were able to reanimate dead humans, they were never able to overcome the body’s need for cooling. The other major problem is that memories of the last moments of life are greatly amplified; Scott believes he is still in Vietnam fighting insurgents. When Deveraux and Roberts leave the doctor’s home, they are caught and arrested by the police. En route to jail, the police convoy is ambushed by Scott and GR76. A chase ensues, ending when the police bus and the UniSol truck both drive off a cliff in the Grand Canyon and explode, killing GR76. Deveraux and Roberts head to Deveraux’s family farm in Louisiana.
After Deveraux is reunited with his parents, Scott appears and takes the family and Roberts hostage. A brutal fight ensues, and Scott’s use of muscle enhancers enables him to beat Deveraux mercilessly. Roberts manages to escape, only to be seemingly killed by a grenade thrown by Scott. Deveraux grabs the muscle enhancers Scott used and injects himself. Now evenly matched, Deveraux fights back and impales Scott on the spikes of a hay harvester before activating the machine, which grinds Scott to death. Roberts is revealed to have survived the explosion, and Deveraux and she embrace.Cast[edit]

Principal photography began in August 1991. Carolco, the company that produced the film, was having financial troubles and hoped that the film’s box-office return would keep them afloat.[4]Release[edit]Marketing[edit]
At the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, Van Damme and Lundgren were involved in a verbal altercation that almost turned physical when both men pushed each other, only to be separated. On his website, Lundgren confirmed that it was just a publicity stunt to promote the film.[5] It was the last film that used the multichannel surround-sound format, Cinema Digital Sound.Home media[edit]Alternative ending[edit]
The Special Edition DVD release features an alternative ending, which starts shortly after Scott takes Deveraux’s family and Roberts hostage. As Deveraux grabs a shotgun in the kitchen, the front door opens, and he sees his mother at the door before Scott shoots her to death. In the final fight between Deveraux and Scott, Deveraux does not use Scott’s muscle enhancers. Shortly after grinding Scott to death, Deveraux is shot by his ’father’ before Dr. Christopher Gregor and his men appear.
Gregor explains that he used Deveraux to entrap both Scott and him, and that Deveraux was staying with people posing as his parents. He then has his men shoot Deveraux, but before Deveraux dies, the police and Roberts’ news crew arrive. The news crew douses Deveraux with a fire extinguisher to stabilize him while Dr. Gregor and his men are arrested. Roberts is given the microphone to cover the arrest, but she loses all composure while on the air, dropping the microphone to comfort Deveraux.
Several days later, Deveraux is reunited with his real parents. The film ends with a eulogy narrated by Roberts, who explains that Deveraux rejected all life-prolonging medication before dying a natural death.Reception[edit]Box office[edit]
Universal Soldier opened in theaters on July 10, 1992 where it grossed $10,057,084 from 1916 theaters with a $5,249 per screen average. It opened and peaked at number two, behind A League of Their Own’s second weekend. Grossing $36,299,898 in the US and Canada[6] and $59 million internationally ($44 million via TriStar),[7][8] for a worldwide gross of $95 million.Critical response[edit]
Mainstream critics dismissed it as a Terminator 2 clone, or as a typical, mindless action film.[9][10][11][12][improper synthesis?] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 35% based on reviews from 34 critics. The site’s consensus states: ’Universal Soldier unites a pair of veteran action stars behind a potentially intriguing premise, but on this battlefield, entertainment value is largely AWOL.’[13] On Metacritic, it has a score of 35% based on reviews from 15 critics.[14] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of ’B’ on an A+ to F scale.[15] In a retrospective review, Drew Taylor from IndieWire said: ’This movie rules. The introduction of the Emmerich/Devlin double-team, this high concept, moderately budgeted sci-fi action movie is a bouillabaisse of clichés that somehow manages to be a charming, funny, often positively thrilling B-grade treat.’[16]Other media[edit]Sequels[edit]Comics[edit]
NOW Comics published a three-part comic miniseries based on the movie, running from September to November 1992. The adaptation was written by Clint McElroy.[17][18]Video games[edit]
During conversion of the video game Turrican 2 to the Sega Genesis, the publishers, Accolade, decided to cash in on the hype surrounding the film and rebrand the game as a tie-in. The spaceship levels from the original were replaced with ’platforming’ levels set in a jungle, and the player sprite was changed to look more human, as were some enemies. The resulting product received mostly negative reviews compared to the critically acclaimed home-computer release.[19]References[edit]
