UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (Roland Emmerich, 1992)

Those were the days...

When I saw the Carolco or Orion logo I knew I was going to get a great movie. Who would ever forget the fantastic credits of Total Recall? That music? Ah...

RIght, Carolco was the epitomy of uber-violent 90's action flicks. Comic-book style action flicks at their best... whatever happened to Carolco?

whatever happened to Carolco?

SHOWGIRLS and CUTTHROAT ISLAND happened... oh and I think they made bad investments as well, anyway they were spending way too much money and T2 and BASIC INSTINCT weren't enough...

Shit, it seems they did make a few errors during their later years, one flop and misguided experiment after another. I see Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna kept reasonably busy though, their names always appeared on Carolco's movies, I noticed that when I was like 15 and collecting all the cult action movies...they done the Basic Instinct and Terminator sequels..although I guess the less said about them the better...

Universal Soldier sucks. i always thought it sucked. Jean Claude VanDamme - guess what? SUCKS!!!!!!!! ( ). Jean Claude VanDamme is a sucker.

[Jox]

evegotbet, why the gratuitous insult of Jean-Claude Van Damme? There are a lot of Van Damme fans on here, you can dislike the guy but if you have to publicly make a criticism, do it in a more mature, justified and structured manner. Or don't complain if your posts are edited.

I remember renting that game back in the day and being so let down, because it had absolutely nothing in common with the film. In fact I'm pretty sure it was a whole different game entirely, but they marketed it as Universal Soldier to sell it.

Spot on, Tom. The Unisol game is actually a title called Turrican, an old 16-bit game that was basically unaltered for the Unisol licence, with only the title screen and character sprite changed. If you notice that Deveraux's legs look a bit rickety, it's because the original Turrican character was a stylised robot. Indeed, there is no plot relation to the film, and some of it makes so very little sense - One of the original bosses was a very impressive screen-high robot, that is again simply overlaid with a new graphic... so imagine an utterly unexplainabe sixty ft tall Dolph bouncing round the side of the screen. Sound stupid? Wait until you see it...

The Amazing Floating Dolph in full effect, guys... 'enjoy'

Ha that's why I always felt cheated by those games which reassembled nothing like the movies they were supposed to be derived from!
