Earlier today we thought we happened upon a second trailer for UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION. When we learned it wasn’t all that new, me and our man Arrow (and I’m sure many more) felt a little deflated. I mean, anytime you can get a chance to see Van Damme square off with The Dolph, it’s f*ckin’ party time!
Well, it seems not all is lost. In fact, we’ve got a dope little behind-the-scenes look at the film, which you can scroll down to find. In the clip, watch Andrei Arlovski (the third badass in the film) fire off some semi-automatic rounds with piles of dead bodies lying at his feet. You can also see the dude getting busy with what appears to be some swift hand to hand combat. Of course, it’s the final stunt drop and the kickass metal anthem that accompanies the clip that just might be the most impressive.
From director John Hyams (RANK, FIGHT DAY), the REGENERATION mirrors this:
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.
Damn this has the makings of utter badass!
Find the flick when it premieres on DVD February 2nd, 2010.
