I can add a few other titbits of Unisol information that I found on the R2 DVD commentary. Devlin and Emmerich reveal plenty of facts throughout the track, such as the fact that the opening scene, set in Vietnam, was actually filmed on a golf course (!) in Arizona. The waitress in the roadside diner, Brenda, was actually Dolph's acting coach on the set. And Ralph Moeller tried to convince Emmerich to give his character more lines, but Emmerich felt he had such a thick German accent that audiences wouldn't buy his being an American soldier, as the Unisols are supposed to be.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that's a bit of a strange comment to make about a film whose two main stars, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, are Belgian and Swedish respectively.....
