Sublime comedic performances!


I love this film and am now awaiting an import of the Special Edition dvd.

I'd just like to comment on how underrated the acting of Van Damme and Lundgren is in this film! Van Damme makes me laugh with subtle facial expressions, just see the scenes at the restaurant when he's tasting the mashed potato, or when he says "I just want to eat" or when Veronica is checking his body for "bugs" and he says "Is that supposed to be there?"
Truly brilliant. Unfortunately for Lundgren he gets the funniest unintentional laugh, when at the finale he has a dazed and drunken expression and he yells "you're dead soldier" and Van Damme replies with one of the most cheesiest responses in action cinema history..."No, I'm alive" and kicks the *beep* out of him. This is truly classic b-movie material and I love it!

One of my personal favourites is when Luc is driving of the base and is ordered to stop, he turns around and says

"I Am Confused"
