Trivia
Jean-Claude Van Damme finally approved the script of the final fight which he loses and is killed by Scott Adkins the day before principal photography started. In the words of director John Hyams "there was a lot of negotiation around how that all played out" and how he was "passing the torch".

According to director John Hyams, the fight between Scott Adkins and Jean-Claude Van Damme was designed to be much flashier and more acrobatic but had to be redesigned when Adkins tore a ligament in his knee prior to filming.

Quotes
Andrew Scott: My brothers, let's not forget the moment of sickness. Our thoughts interrupted by unfamiliar worships. We were merely arms and legs, moving to the directive of another mind. But in an instant the veil has lifted. And today, brothers, I stand here to declare your minds are now your own! Each and every one of us bred into slavery, superior to our creators. They gave us nothing inside, but the void in our soul, the curse that binds us together, my brothers. But then he came along. He turned the curse into a blessing. He is the inspiration. He is the light that set us free! We are his eyes and ears and soon we shall multiply 10, 20... a hundred fold! We pioneers will spawn the first generation blessed with free will, taking vengeance upon those whose arrogance once assumed our servitude. With each passing day, we grow stronger, digging deeper into the outside world. Unnoticed, we live among them like ghosts, biding our time... waiting for the moment, when our oppressors shall be forced to kneel before us, and pay for their sins! THE DAY OF RECKONING!

Andrew Scott: From this moment on, you are no longer a slave to the government. From this moment on, your mind is your own. From this moment on, you will seek vengeance from your oppressors. Freedom is yours.

Luc Deveraux: [accepting his defeat at the hands of John] There is no end. Always another, John.

Q
Is this movie going to be released theatrically?
A
Yes, starts from August 21st until September 13th where you get the chance to watch it in 7 big cities in Germany. They will screen it in 3D. And Magnet Releasing will be distributing this film on demand and in theaters!!
Q
Why does Luc Deveraux (Van Damme) appear old? Aren't UniSols supposed to be immortal?
A
They aren't. He appears old because he *IS* old. UniSols age like common beings. Cryogenized bodies from sixties were used to create UniSols, that's why Luc Deveraux died in 1969 and was resuscitated in the early nineties as Universal Soldier. UniSols cannot feel pain, but they can be hurt, they age and most importantly they can be killed.
Q
What are the differences between the R-Rated and NC-17 versions?
A
The uncensored version of the film got the infamous NC-17 rating by the MPAA, which is rare in the action sector anyway and especially in the last few years. Though Hyams himself declared that he was contractually obligated to deliver an R-Rated version (for brutal bloody violence throughout, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, and language) for the theatrical release, he didn't rest to mention in interviews that he thinks of the uncensored, harder version as the superior one. The American DVD and Blu-ray does not contain the NC-17 version. Instead, they contain the R-Rated cut which was previously shown in cinemas and on-demand. All the more pleasant is the fact that this won't be a worldwide case since the Austrian DVDs/Blu-rays do contain the NC-17 version. The latter runs approx. 33 seconds longer than the R-Rated version and a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.. The German DVD/Blu-ray available at Amazon.de, is censored for violence for several minutes. The fully uncut NC-17 cut can be bought on DVD/Blu-ray here. The UK and Candian DVD/Blu-ray has also the uncut NC-17 version.
