Mark and John discuss the 1992 sci-fi action film Universal Soldier. Directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Dolph Lundgren, Ally Walker, Jean-Claude Van Damme and lots of ice, the movie focuses on what happens when the United States government creates zombie super soldiers who cost $250 million each. In this episode, they also talk about diner scenes, supermarket monologues, and Dolph Lundgren's best performances.
Ally WalkerTake a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know Ally Walker. Ally is a veteran actress who you know from such amazing television shows as: Sons of Anarchy, Longmire, Profiler, and many more. You also know her from hit films like: Universal Soldier, Singles, & Kazaam. In this episode, we chat about all of these projects, plus some of her other works. I even get her to tell me some ghost stories from Santa Fe! Finally, we really dig into her new book. The Light Runner is the first in The Realities Series and is Ally's first ever novel. She has written screenplays and scripts, but never a novel! The book is a murder mystery of sorts, but with psychiatric themes, plus paranormal, and time elements. I won't spoil it, but I will say that I really, really enjoyed this book. I reached out to a couple of her actor friends who wrote blurbs for the book, and I read their responses to her. One of them is even a previous guest of the show! Ally was a blast to speak with, and she even got me to spill a secret that I have never shared on the show, or in most of my real life. You can get this book everywhere books are available and even get a personalized copy from her website. Follow Ally on all the socials, and BUY THIS BOOK!
The 1994 science fiction movie Stargate is Dave's selection for this week. The film, which put director Roland Emmerich firmly on the Hollywood map, was marketed as an ambitious blend of ancient mythology and future spectacle long before it gave rise to a massive TV franchise. With Carolco Pictures supporting Emmerich and director Dean Devlin following their success with Universal Soldier, Stargate's production was ambitious for its time. In 1994, the film's visual effects were state-of-the-art, bringing its world to life with a blend of realistic effects, intricate set design, and early computer-generated imagery. Stargate was a huge movie office success, earning over $190 million worldwide and opening the door for Emmerich's subsequent triumphs like Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, despite the fact that critics had differing opinions on how it was executed.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryAncient secrets… buried for thousands of years.A mysterious artifact… that defies explanation.And one discovery… that will open the door to another world.From director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin comes the sci-fi adventure that launched a universe.

This week's stitch-up comes courtesy of Dave, who's chosen Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms from 1998. A made-for-TV sequel to the 1992 cult hit Universal Soldier, this entry was produced by Trimark Pictures and aired as part of a two-part Canadian-American miniseries.Rather than bringing back Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, the production recast the lead roles with Matt Battaglia and Andrew Jackson, respectively. Filmed back-to-back with Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, the sequels were shot primarily in Toronto, Canada, with a lower budget and a tighter shooting schedule to accommodate television constraints. The movies were directed by Jeff Woolnough, a Canadian television director who would go on to build a solid reputation for his work on genre series like The Expanse and Vikings.The production was backed by Trimark Pictures and Saban Entertainment, with the intention of launching a possible syndicated series or franchise expansion outside the theatrical model. Despite ambitious plans, the sequels were met with criticism for their lack of continuity with the original film, absence of the original cast, and noticeable drop in production quality. Nevertheless, they found an audience among late-night cable viewers and curious fans of the original film, gaining a degree of cult status for their earnest—if underwhelming—attempt to extend the Universal Soldier mythos into the TV movie realm.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackNordVPN: https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=86289&url_id=902 NordPass: https://go.nordpass.io/aff_c?offer_id=488&aff_id=86289&url_id=9356 Trailer Guy Plot SummaryThey turned him into the ultimate weapon… but now, the mission is off the books, the budget is slashed, and the action? Downgraded. In a world where the original Universal Soldier is nowhere to be found, Matt Battaglia steps in as the new Luc Deveraux—locked and loaded for a sequel no one asked for, but someone definitely greenlit. Explosions! Conspiracies! And Canadian parking lots doubling for top-secret military bases! This time, it's not about winning the war… it's about stretching the franchise to its absolute limits. Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms — the only thing more unstoppable than the soldiers… is the confusion.Fun Facts1. Former NFL linebacker and actor Matt Battaglia stepped into the role of Luc Deveraux, originally played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1992 film.2. Despite being set in the U.S., the movie was primarily filmed in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, a popular cost-saving move for TV productions in the 1990s.3. This film was shot simultaneously with its follow-up, Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, to reduce production costs and maximize continuity.4. This TV sequel is not considered canon in the Universal Soldier film timeline, especially after the theatrical release of Universal Soldier: The Return in 1999.5. The existence of multiple sequels with different continuities has made the Universal Soldier timeline notoriously confusing for fans.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

The next movie pick comes courtesy of Chris, who's known for his love of high-energy, action-packed flicks. Following on from his previous picks, Chris has chosen Universal Soldier (1992)—a film that perfectly captures that early '90s blend of sci-fi and adrenaline-fueled spectacle.Universal Soldier is a 1992 science fiction action film directed by Roland Emmerich in his Hollywood debut. The movie stars Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, two iconic action stars of the early 1990s. Produced on a mid-range budget, the film combined practical effects with emerging visual techniques, helping to establish Emmerich's reputation for large-scale action spectacles.Filmed primarily in California, Universal Soldier features intense fight choreography and explosive set pieces that defined ‘90s action cinema.

Its production marked an important milestone for both the director and its lead actors, highlighting the era's appetite for high-energy, science fiction-inspired action movies.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackNordVPN: https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=86289&url_id=902 NordPass: https://go.nordpass.io/aff_c?offer_id=488&aff_id=86289&url_id=9356 Trailer Guy Plot SummaryTwo unstoppable forces.

Get ready—because this summer, the war for control just got personal.Fun FactsUniversal Soldier marked the Hollywood directing debut of Roland Emmerich, who previously worked on German films before breaking into the U.S. market.Released by TriStar Pictures, Universal Soldier received mixed reviews upon release but grew into a cult favorite among action fans.The production had a budget of approximately $22–23 million, blending intense practical stunts with early computer-generated effects.Principal photography was filmed mostly in Southern California, utilizing desert landscapes and urban settings to create its futuristic military vibe.Jean-Claude Van Damme performed many of his own stuntsThe film's popularity led to a franchise with multiple sequels and made-for-TV spin-offs, maintaining the sci-fi action legacy.Roland Emmerich later directed other blockbuster hits such as Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998), The Patriot (2000), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), and 10,000 BC (2008).thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
Today on the TV/Movie Rewind Podcast, Matt & Todd get reanimated and rearmed with Universal Soldier—Roland Emmerich's 1992 sci-fi action flick that boldly blends high-octane combat with Frankenstein, war crimes, and plenty of roundhouse kicks. Starring: • Jean-Claude Van Damme as “LUC, SAD!” Luc Deveraux, a memory-wiped near-automaton as confused about what he is as he is about who he is. • Dolph Lundgren as “ANDREW, MAD!” Sgt. Andrew Scott, a completely unhinged maniac with a necklace made of ears and probably loves Casualties of War for all the wrong reasons. • Ally Walker as Veronica Roberts, a journalist just trying to do her job and not get murdered by government cyborgs. • Whit Bissell Award winners Jerry Orbach (as Dr. Gregor) and Robert Trebor (as the motel owner), plus genre favorites Ed O'Ross and Leon Rippy. This is great early-90s action: • Government conspiracies • Secret military programs • And a plot that could be described as RoboCop meets First Blood with a dash of Short Circuit if Johnny 5 had been developed by Cyberdyne Systems. • Van Damme kicks people. Lundgren screams about betrayal. There's a diner fight, a farm showdown, and a final battle that ends with a hay baler and some light existential horror.Despite 5 sequels, this one is often forgotten in the larger pool of muscley-action films. For one, Van Damme's box-office draw was waning, and it could be said that this kind of action film a dying genre in 1992, especially with Die Hard a few years earlier establishing a new action archetype.Lastly, at least in America alone, 1992 would be dominated by other classics such as:Disney's Aladdin, Academy Award Winning Unforgiven, Basic Instinct, Reservoir Dogs, A Few Good Men, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, Batman Returns, and The Bodyguard, to name a few.

How hilariously inept is Raul Julia's car thief mastermind? How incredible is the opening car carrier chase sequence? How great is this cast full of real-deal character actors? Did Sheen's character really need to drive that motorcycle through the door? Couldn't we get a little more Tom Skerritt and a lot more Lara Flynn Boyle? And what are the odds this movie was a re-worked “one last case” Dirty Harry film?
