“Universal Soldier” has zero to do with ‘cyborgs’. The soldiers were more along the lines of Frankenstien, re-animated dead tissue* which was part of the reason why “Universal Soldier 2″ failed (among other things) it threw out that aspect in favor of some computer taking over and possessing a (dead) soldier. In the first film the point was clearly made that the soldiers cannot “heat up” past a point, or they will return to the dead and cannot regenerate.

I loosely recall the cable films Adox refers to (aside from who was in them- Gary Busey, Burt Reynolds and Jeff Wincott) and I recall my huge disappointment in Van Damme’s ‘official’ sequel to Universal Soldier, which was a crazy mess.

But if they get back to the regeneration/ice pack plot point, then any of the following could happen in a plot:

1) The Universal Sodier program is reactivated, but the sodiers are now a martial arts army of the living dead/Zombie army with bowie and butterfly knives;

2) A chopped up Sgt. Scott (Dolph) has been sewn back together because his body regenerated somehow (see-you can sort of cheat and get away with it!)

3) The new Unisols are all chicks and now they have to strip down to sit in icetubs.

I’d like to see Van Damme have Hard Target II myself.

Van Damme was in a film called ‘Cyborg’. He didn’t play one. Angelina Jolie did in the sequel.

I too would like to become a cyborg. Your brain has to be shown a little, floating in a primary coloured goo. Hidden weapons and funky sound effect when (parts of) you move are the icing on the cake
