Universal Soldier (series)

Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business are direct-to-video science fiction film sequels to the original 1992 film Universal Soldier Despite featuring the same characters as the original, they feature none of the original cast or crew.

They were produced for Showtime / The Movie Channel as a miniseries meant as a 'backdoor' pilot for a series.

Subsequent Universal Soldier films essentially ignore the plotline of the direct-to-video sequels entirely.
