Universal Soldier is a 1992 science fiction film directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren as soldiers who kill each other in Vietnam but are reanimated in a secret Army project along with a large group of other previously dead soldiers.

Production

The film was followed by two television movie sequels in 1998 — Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business — with an all new cast.

In 1999, a theatrical sequel, Universal Soldier: The Return, ignored the television films, with only Van Damme returning from the original film.
