646f9e108c Charles Stewart (Earle) is a Vietnam vet who wants answers about his brother Rick's death. He teams up with Dean Daniels (Ernblad), a reporter interested in missing Vietnam soldiers. It turns out the evil Spacek (Fridh) started a training camp in South Africa to pump out Super Soldiers. These brainwashed, emotionless, unstoppable killing machines are now on the loose. WAR DOG is a long-forgotten and insanely violent Swedish action film with a plot similar to that of UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, although it came first. The story sees the macho protagonist looking into the death of his brother and coming across a sinister plot to breed a new type of super soldier, bent on death and without emotion. The film kicks off with an incredible slow-motion massacre scene in which innocent civilians are gunned down, and it features the bloodiest squib hits I can ever remember seeing. The rest of the story follows in the same vein, a mixture of violent and gruesome action and the usual melodrama and character work. The ending descends into slasher territory but is still amusing, while there's a funny stand-off made as a homage to the famous showdown in Sergio Leone's THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. I know the "actor" Jan Lundberg, he was my English teacher in 7th to 9th grade (in the Swedish school system that is). Offcource we pupils got to know about this movie quite fast and all the time we begged to see it.<br/><br/>I had a good relationship with him and when a friend of mine found a copy of the film we were going to watch it but somehow I never saw it anyways which I regret very much now.<br/><br/>I'm thinking about calling Jan up and get hold of the movie now that I've read your posts.<br/><br/>Do you by voice-over mean that the version you've seen have a voice telling the story or that the entire movie has been dubbed? What I know they spoke English in the original so that it would have been dubbed seems kind of stupid to me.<br/><br/>I'll update you when I find out more about this.
