Over the top and ludicrous it may be, but Universal Soldier is also one of the most fun movies of the 1990s. Directed by Roland Emmerich, who would go on to helm the even more spectacular Independence Day only four years later, Universal Soldier stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Luc Deveraux, a formerly dead US soldier who is brought back to life by a top secret military project.
Meanwhile, Dolph Lundgren plays Sgt. Andrew Scott, another formally dead soldier who is now a psychopath determined to end the life of Deveraux. Their rivalry of course leads to some appropriately bombastic and brilliantly crazy action scenes, which have led to the movie becoming something of a cult classic over the years.
