Trivia:
When S.E.T.H. cracks his kill-code, it flashes up on the screen, starting with "NCC1701", which is the registration code of the starship Enterprise. moreGoofs:
Continuity: During the battle in the Chemical Weapons storage room, where UniSol Romeo is stalking Luc and reporter Erin Young, Luc starts out wearing a dark jacket over his gray shirt. After a short cutaway from him and Erin, his dark jacket is suddenly gone with no visible sign of it. Later, as the movie returns to the Chemical Weapons room fight after a brief detour, Luc suddenly has his dark jacket back on, but this time we also see him actually take it off after it catches fire. moreSoundtrack:

Lame, cheap special effects. Awful acting. A plot that's stitched together obviously just in order to make a sequel to the original featuring Van Damme. Everything about this movie screams "made-for-TV" and "80's B-movie". Had it actually been a TV movie, or had it just been a regular B-movie, in no way related to the original Universal Soldier, I probably wouldn't have hated it so much. But it was, and I did. The plot is laughable, and ridiculous at best. It's just patched together to avoid explaining everything that the original didn't explain, and just stuff Van Damme in the movie, and throw a lot of UniSol's his way. The first one was no masterpiece, but at least it wasn't so predictable and lame. The acting is a joke. Each of the actors pulls off a mock-worthy performance. The film is built up by randomly taking different cliches from 80's action movies, and putting them all together in one horrible movie. They take what was good about the first and spit on it. All in all, a movie to avoid unless you really love Van Damme or movies that feature martial arts. I recommend this only to the biggest of Van Damme fans, and to fans of 80's action B-movies who don't care about the first and who have extremely low expectations and/or standards. 1/10
