Almost human. Almost perfect. ...Almost under control.

In 1969, a U.S. Army unit secures a village against North Vietnamese forces. Private Luc Deveraux, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, is about to complete his tour of duty and return home. But first he discovers that members of his squad and allied villagers have been murdered. The culprit is Andrew Scott, a sergeant in his platoon who has lost his mind and is holding a young couple hostage. Deveraux tries to reason with him and persuade him to stand down, while the situation in the village grows more tense by the minute. The film, directed by Roland Emmerich, sets up a confrontation in which time is against the protagonist.

Trivia about Universal Soldier

Mario Kassar, an executive at Carolco Pictures, fired Andrew Davis in February 1991 over budget concerns. Davis had been hired to direct and co-write the screenplay.

Kassar was impressed by Roland Emmerich after seeing Moon 44, which was made on a budget of just $2.5 million, and hired him to direct the film.

At the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, Van Damme and Lundgren had a verbal clash that nearly turned into a physical fight. Lundgren later confirmed on his website that it was a publicity stunt to promote the movie.

The original trailer used music from Total Recall (1989) and Terminator 2 (1991), both also produced by Carolco Pictures.

After viewing the first footage, the producers weren't convinced and added the barn scene for the final battle, which was shot several months later.

It was the first on-screen collaboration between Van Damme and Lundgren in the franchise. They later worked together again in The Expendables 2 and Black Water.

The movie grossed approximately $120 million worldwide against a budget of $23 million and spawned four theatrical or direct-to-video sequels and two TV productions.

Principal photography began on August 12, 1991 and took place in Arizona, including the Grand Canyon, as well as Boulder City, Nevada, near Hoover Dam.

Quotes by Universal Soldier

I just want to go home.
Do you wanna play catch?
How can you be so damn calm? I mean, your buddies back there just shot enough ammo at us to destroy Eastern Europe, and you're sitting here bitching at me about a goddamned seat belt?
You're discharged, Sarge.
Are we having fun yet?
All right look. Do you have a family, a friend? Is there a Mrs. 44 waiting for you some place?
