On July 10, 1992, "Universal Soldier" was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Now, in the 25 years that followed, the franchise has gone to some truly nutzo places and has one of the more complicated mythologies and timelines of any modern franchise.

Half of ranking the movies is just explaining where they fit into the larger "Universal Soldier" ecosystem. But, trust me, it’s worth the effort. Put on your ill-fitting rubber armor and get ready for a trip down memory lane, as we rank the "Universal Soldier" movies, from worst to best.

Holler at me, JCVD!
