(taken from your post, the first Univ. Soldier. grossed upwards of $100,000,000):
Reigning as one of the world's premiere box-office stars and
action heroes, Jean-Claude Van Damme jumps into sequel
territory for the first time in his career with UNIVERSAL
SOLDIER: THE RETURN.
With more than 20 films to his name, including hits such as the
original ?Universal Soldier,? ?Timecop,? ?Double Impact,? ?Hard
Target? and ?Nowhere to Run,? Jean-Claude Van Damme
defines action in its purest form. He constantly tackles new and
inventive projects that showcase his charisma, charm and martial
arts prowess. Once again he brings these assets to the forefront
withUNIVERSAL SOLDIER:THE RETURN, a sequel to one
of his most successful international hits that grossed upwards of
100 million worldwide.
The sequel continues the saga of Van Damme's Luc Deveraux,
the unstoppable soldier who was the last man standing at the end
of the original film.The story picks up years later when Luc, now
a caring father and widower, serves as a technical expert on a
special government project preparing a new, stronger breed of
soldier that is more sophisticated, intelligent and agile.
Designed by Ryan Lathrop, all goes well with the project until
the soldiers' supercomputer, S.E.T.H.(Michael Jai White),
develops a mind all its own. The Self-Evolving Thought Helix
then devises a number of plans, including the destruction
of Deveraux. In order to get access to Deveraux , SETH
kidnaps his daughter, Hilary (Karis Paige Bryant).
The only people that can help Deveraux in his plight against
S.E.T.H. and Ryan Lathrop are Erin (Heidi Schanz), an
assertive,witty and tough-as-nails reporter striving for her
big break, and Maggie (Kiana Tom), Deveraux'spartner and
close friend who's been through countless
hours of training and combat with the vigorous soldier.
This time around, Deveraux faces off against morethan one super
soldier, since his opponents not only include S.E.T.H. but an
entire army of Unisols bent on destroying him at all costs. At the
front of the platoon is Romeo (Bill Goldberg), a giant
six-foot-plus Energizer Bunny who takes a licking but keeps on
ticking.
Racing against the clock to save his daughter and keep his family
together, Deveraux encounter obstacles that only he can
surmount, especially since he knows the way a Universal Soldier
thinks,feels and fights.
