Corrected entry: It is established that the Universal Soldiers are more or less remote controlled, depending on the computer Seth to remain operational ("No matter what happens, if Seth doesn't get the code he'll shut down in eight hours, and the UniSols will just go offline."). Nevertheless, after Luc destroyed Seth (in 1:12:10) nobody seems to care for that concept anymore, neither the UniSol Romeo battling Luc for quite some time (1:12:47 - 1:14:13), nor the one chatting with him (directly afterwards), nor the >9 UniSols marching out of the building just before it explodes (1:15:28) - they all seem to be rather operational and 'online'.

Universal Soldier: The Return (1999)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mic Rodgers
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Xander Berkeley, Michael Jai White, Bill Goldberg, Heidi Schanz
Continuity mistake: Seth goes to put his miniaturized brain into a body, that body goes into the surgery area, with hair, the laser makes the incision to a bald head, the chip is inserted then the body comes out again and has hair again.
S.E.T.H.: When I was a machine, I yearned to be a man. Now I'm better than both. The created has become the creator.
Trivia: The termination code for Seth is "NCC170182461VIR" - whoever came up with that probably also likes "Star Trek" since the USS Enterprise's registration number reads 'NCC-1701'. That the following numbers add to 10 in pairs of two (8 2 and 4 6) while 'VIR' is the Latin word for 'man' (which 99% of the film's cast are) might simply be a coincidence - but then, perhaps not...

Correction: Presumably Luc was talking about the SETH computer in the base; the bases's computers remained operational even after the UniSol Seth was dead. It is likely that the computers in the base would have kept controlling the UniSols even after Seth's personality was downloaded into squid's body.
