Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) *
Directed by Mic Rodgers. With Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael Jai White and Heidi Schanz. A giant computer goes beserk and leads an army of cyborg soldiers in an open rebellion against authorities. Van Demme plays a heroic soldier who saves the day while romancing a TV reporter and trying to cure his sick daughter. Plenty of gunfights, fistfights and nifty explosions, punctuated by a truly atrocious dialogue.
