UNIVERSAL SOLDIER III: UNFINISHED BUSINESS (Extended Preview)
Added 2022-05-20 19:18:31 +0000 UTCBrand new on RiffTrax.com, it's a 1998 made-for-TV Universal Soldier sequel that isn't in any way related to the second movie in the original film's universe, Universal Soldier: The Return (released the following year), but is related to the second TV movie, Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms — and that's what matters to us!
This movie, like the previous one, were "backdoor pilots" in miniseries form which the producers were hoping would lead to a TV series. Unfortunately, the world wasn't quite ready for such a thing... but, seeing as how everything from the 90s is cool again, maybe we'll get that show at some point, too.
Here's part of our synopsis for this one:
Clearly, the saga of Universal Soldier was so epic that it could only be told over the course of three movies, or perhaps three Snapple caps. But now Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business is here to chew bubblegum and finish business, and the budget’s too low to afford bubblegum.
The Universal Soldier program has branched out and is now growing baby soldiers in jars under the direction of Burt Reynolds. We suspect that this baffling new corporate paradigm may be because nobody understood what Burt Reynolds was saying, given that he delivers most of his lines in an Irish accent that’s even less convincing than his toupee.
