Part one of my review of the action sci-fi classic, Universal Soldier(1992) starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Ally Walker, Ed O'Ross, Jerry Orbach, Leon Rippy, Tico Wells, Ralf Moeller, Robert Trebor, Gene Davis, and Drew Snyder. Directed by Roland Emmerich. Trivia The last film to be recorded in CDS, an early digital sound format. In the following year of the film's release, sound technicians had developed DTS. This sound format was apparently of higher audio quality than CDS and has been used in most movie theaters ever since. 'Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr.' had his eyepiece custom made because the regular eye piece's design was blocking his good eye. The young couple that Luc reacts to at the Hoover Dam incident are actually the same young couple in the beginning in Vietnam The UniSol's basic sidearm seen in throughout the film is a Magnum Research Inc. .357 Magnum Desert Eagle. Andrew Davis was attached to direct the picture based on a different screenplay. The budget being too high and creative differences arising, Carolco hired Roland Emmerich, fresh from his low budget feature Moon 44 and a canceled Sylvester Stallone vehicle "Isobar", to deliver a new screenplay and direct the film.
