Universal Soldier
Dumb but fun thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a dead Vietnam vet brought back to life to kill
Two dead Vietnam vets (Lundgren and Van Damme) are revived, surgically transformed into androids and reprogrammed as elite government assassins. After being ordered into action, one of them malfunctions and begins to recall scenes from his past life, which include the memory of his death at the hand of the other.
Van Damme was catapulted into the big league with this ultra-violent actioner, which had originally been conceived as a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone.
It may be little more than an expensive arcade game for overgrown kids, but it moves too fast for critical flak to stick.
