Red Scorpion

Red Scorpion
Movie · Action · Adventure

Dolph Lundgren is a killing machine named Nikolai. A deadly, highly skilled agent for the Russian army, whose brutal efficiency and single minded determination to serve the motherland leaves behind a trail of battered bodies and bloodied enemies. Now Nikolai must infiltrate an African rebel army who seek to defy their new communist rulers and take out their leader, but as he gets to know his enemies, and the dignified Bushmen he encounters, he begins to slowly realise that all he has been taught was a lie. This Cold War rebel is ready to turn the tables on his Soviet masters and kick all kinds of ass! With a body count that leaves jaws firmly on the floor and a healthy disregard for troublesome logic, Red Scorpion is a classic 80's action spectacular that doesn't let up for a second.
