This sequel to UNIVERSAL SOLDIER has Jean Claude back in action for more mayhem as robotic soldiers duke it out with flesh and blood soldiers. Unfortunately, the film is a major dud, badly written and badly staged and abysmally acted. It is just one chase-and-fight scene after another, with absolutely no character development. It's like watching Rock Em Sock Em Robots, but only half as interesting. At least those toy robots were colorful, if limited in their motions. The fight scenes, theoretically the only thing that might have saved this no-budget flick, are clunkily staged. The shabbiest episode of WALKER, TR is far superior in the fight department. God, what a mess. I ask myself, what was I doing, watching this at all?
