[@dalemcdenver7816]

It's how it's shown. Can the "new model" beat the everloving out of it's precursor in a straight up fist fight because he's stronger and has better reflexes? As we saw, yes. But that doesn't help with navigating a battlefield and a bullet doesn't care if you have a black belt in judo or how fast you can sprint. If your enemy can spot and take opportunities to attack faster than you, thats curtains unless he misses (in which experience also helps).

[@joshuaortiz2031]

​@@dalemcdenver7816 yeah but if you have been genetically engineered to the point that you are bulletproof I'm sure that would be a huge advantage. Imagine soldiers with skeletons made of alloys that are near indestructible like some real life wolverine shit.

​@@joshuaortiz2031No matter how strong your skeletons are your brains are still as squishy as a jelatin.

[@joshuaortiz2031]

@@neiabaraja8040 yeah but if they perfect stem cell tech they can just regrow the part of your brain that's damaged. If anything getting shot in the head will just incapacitate you and put you in a coma. Plus head shots are rare. Imagine genetically engineered soldiers that when they get shot their blood instantly coagulates when it comes into contact with the environment outside the body. Imagine men like that who never get tired, never get sick, are never incapacitated by pain, maybe they don't even need oxygen to survive because they discovered a way to store ATP (the molecule that powers our bodies in cellular respiration) in muscle tissue and when the blood oxygen level dips it's released into their body. That is all within the realm of possibility. Good luck taking on a platoon of guys like that with decades of Special forces level training. I was in the army and my lame ass was medically discharged for a shoulder injury I got in training, a ruck march. So pathetic. The military would love soldiers that can train nonstop and never acquire permanent injuries they lose so much money to having to discharge service members prematurely and pay them disability.

I agree. Kurt Russell is fantastic in this film and I’ve watched it several times. He saves the woman and her son, he tried to save the woman’s husband but wasn’t able to.

[@craigkerns6722]

Two things: When Todd decides to fight the soldiers,he is adked " what are you going to do?". Todd replies " kill them all, sir". When Todd and Cain fight at the end, Cain dies and Todd gently lays Cain's head and body down rather than just dropping him. Respect for your enemy soldier. A really good movie. Lots of little things only a soldier would know and appreciate. Russell did his homework.

[@flukedogwalker3016]

This was one of the few movies he actually had to act in, since he had so few lines and had to play a obsolete soldier suffering from too much PTSD, fighting against soulless killers. He managed to convey his humanity though an almost expressionless face and that was his real acting skill in action. Totally different from "Big Trouble in Little China."

[@zacharylortie2786]

This guy proved that battle experience is all that really matters. Nothing is more real than the battlefield, I think the fighting on chains was a stupid test to begin with. Doesn’t get the heart racing & the mind twitching like stepping foot on land you know you may die on

[@bl8388]

Yeah that was an odd test. Especially when three people fight a roided guy. If the three won, would their leader cheer and say, " I knew 3 of my guys were better than one of yours!" Then he spikes a football and does a victory dance.

[@MtuckerGoBlue]

The physique Kurt Russell was able to build for this movie was very impressive for a man in his 40's.

[@enisberkaymert1669]

Ah, good old, well-written, simple movies.

[@TrangleC]

Well written? Seriously? After a lifetime of super elite military training all they do in actual combat is to just awkwardly walk towards their enemies like Frankenstein's Monster, guns blazing. Something tells me you could have had that level of tactical finesse and cunning without training them from childbirth on. Also, after probably investing millions into each of those supposed super soldiers they just kill one because he wasn't particularly fit that day? Without checking whether he might have had a illness? And that was the first day they actually tested the physical strength of their super soldiers and they didn't detect that that one was too weak sometimes during those 12 years or so they were training him at that point? Is this story happening in the "Idiocracy" universe, where everyone is really, really dumb? I guess that would explain why the ability to walk and shoot at the same time makes you a super soldier in that world.

[@ironspaghett]

​@@TrangleCPeople who speak like that are enthralled by nostalgia. They failed to be smarter than their parents, so fall for the same intellectual traps and get caught. Forever. And there's no changing them.

[@edthomas6548]

@@TrangleC that’s basically what the Spartans did. You showed weakness and you were dead. Even at birth. If you had a small defect you were thrown away. You had to be the best of the best. You weren’t allowed to have an “off day”. You have an “off day”. The man beside you could die. Better to get rid of the weak link in the chain now so it doesn’t fail in combat and get stronger better men killed.

[@TrangleC]

@@edthomas6548 No, it is not. They did discard deformed babies after birth, but they did not kill older kids for showing weakness once. Where did you get that nonsense from? It is also a bad comparison because they were not a modern government project that invests millions into raising super soldiers to then throw that investment away like that.

[@enisberkaymert1669]

@@TrangleC I meant "comparatively", my friend. I know this movie is nothing but a "cool muscle guy saves the day" cliché where the guy is secretly badass and he saves everyone in the end with blazing guns and big explosions!!! And the world building is not consistent and lacks of verisimilitude. But this movie had the core elements. Main character had a bad background and flaws but in time, he overcomes them and makes a self-sacrifice decision to save the people whom saved him previously. In comparison to today's "all powerful females!" or skinny males wearing metal costumes or special serums to be powerful; a guy who has been trained and brainwashed all of his life overcoming from this and his flaws and learn how to be a human is incredibly rare. That's what i had meant with well-written "SIMPLE" movies.

*[Soldier (1998) American film]* is a great example and film-making execution of, _"Less is more."_ *;)* The laconic (speaking as little as possible) nature of the Soldiers, for both Todd-3465's (Kurt Russell) generation and Caine-607's (Jason Scott Lee) generation effectively delivers the near-inhuman nature of the Soldiers. And yet, the Soldiers still manage to convey the point(s)/meaning(s) of each scene to the Audience. I enjoyed [Soldier (1998)] so much, I owned it on hard-copy on VHS, and currently own it on DVD; and if I ever see it for cheap on a bargain bin/shelf, I will upgrade to Blu-Ray.
