Dolph made a sequel to this film

The Mechanic released in 2005 is a sequel to this in all but name. In this movie his character is called Nikolai Rachenko in the Mechanic they changed it slightly to Nikolai Cherenko which is pretty damn close. I wonder if they ran into to some rights issues that stopped them calling it Red Scorpion 3 or Red Scorpion The Return or something.
