I usually don’t post stuff that go straight to DVD unless they’re really awesome, but I needed to laugh so here’s the trailer for UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. I kid you not, it’s another installment starring yet again, Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, along with Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski who I never thought was human anyway. All the action takes place mostly in an abandoned factory (boring!) but the part that cracks me up is when the mad scientist caress Andrei’s head like he’s a pet. The movie will hit DVD on February 2nd, 2010. Ya know, I thought Van Damme would return to the big screen again after the success of J.V.C.D., after he thought he was too cool to join Sly Stallone’s THE EXPENDABLES, I guess he’s comfortable with being a DVD star. Watch the trailer after this jump…
With stolen top-secret technology, terrorists have created a next-generation Universal Soldier – an elite fighter genetically altered into a programmable killing machine. With this “UniSol” (Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei “The Pit Bull” Arlovski) leading the way, they seize the crippled Chernobyl nuclear reactor, threatening to unleash a lethal radioactive cloud. The only one who can stop them is Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a UniSol who’s been decommissioned for years. Reactivated and retrained, Deveraux must make a full-out assault on the heavily armed fortress. But inside, he’ll discover not one but two of these virtually indestructible warriors. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), Deveraux’s vicious UniSol enemy from the original Universal Soldier, has been secretly reanimated and upgraded. Now, these elite fighters are locked, loaded and programmed to kill; and the fate of millions hinges on this high-action showdown.
