Legionnaire is a 1998 film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a 1920s boxer who wins a fight after having been hired by gangsters to lose it, then flees to join the French Foreign Legion. The cast includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Steven Berkoff, Nicholas Farrell and Jim Carter.
Deemed unreleasable for movie theaters in the US, Legionnaire was released on home video despite a reported thirty-five million dollar production budget [1].
