Universal Soldier: The Return (1999)

This is the official sequel to the 1992 sci-fi action thriller. In the original, Jean-Claude Van Damme was among several dead Vietnam War vets revived to be the perfect soldiers (Unisols). In this one, it's, I guess, about a dozen years later, since Van Damme has a daughter about that age. Now he's working with the government in a classified installation to train the latest Unisols - codenamed Unisol 2500, for some reason. As usual, something goes wrong: the on-site super-computer (named Seth - like the snake in King Cobra the same year) goes power-crazy, takes command of the Unisols, and even downloads its computer brain into a new super-Unisol body (Michael Jai White). We're lookin' at the next step in evolution!
Most of Van Damme's fights are with one particularly mean Unisol (pro wrestler Bill Goldberg) who just keeps on comin': drop him off a building - no good; run him down with a truck - no go! Shoot him, burn him - forgetaboutit! Much of the humor is traced to how Van Damme is now outmoded and out-classed (he's even going grey around the edges). But, though he takes a lickin', he keeps on kickin'! Most sequels of this sort are pretty lame - pale imitations of the originals, and while this one is certainly no stroke of genius, it manages to be consistently entertaining in a sloppy way, especially if you're a pro-wrestling fan. BoG's Score: 4.5 out of 10
