Where was Universal Soldier filmed?

Police agencies are ordered not to make an attempt to rescue the hostages or intervene as a team of UniSols is deployed to resolve the hostage situation. When the police officers see uniformed men running down the building without effort and using nothing but a rope and body strength, they can’t help but wonder who these guys are! If the setting of this scene looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s the Hoover Dam, one of the tallest in the world. It’s as tall as a sixty-story building and was the world’s highest dam during its completion in 1935. It has a thick base and can handle the water volume that flows over the world-renowned Niagara Falls. Visitors are welcome to explore the iconic Hoover Dam. In fact, it attracts nearly one million visitors each year. You can go on a self-guided tour or a guided dam tour. It allows you to visit the historic tunnels, admire the Colorado River through the inspection ventilation shaft, and more. The dam is open to the public every day from 5 AM to 9 PM. There’s no public transit that goes directly to Hoover Dam, so you have to drive or use the rideshare service, which can cost about $60, depending on the time of the day.

One of the gripping battles between Scott and Luc starts during a chase scene in the film. Luc and Veronica are caught and arrested by the police. But the police convoy is ambushed on the way to jail by GR76 (Ralf Moeller) and Scott. “Got you now, boy,” Scott says. The prison bus, now with a dead driver, gears off the road, still chased by the massive UniSol truck driven by GR76 while Scott continues to fire at them. Later, Luc pushes Veronica off the bus to save her. The chase continues, ending with the truck and police bus driving off the cliff and exploding, killing GR76. Look closely at the scene where the bus is pushed over the Canyon, and you’ll catch a glimpse of the Eagle Point at Grand Canyon West. Located on the Hualapai Reservation, the Grand Canyon West provided a setting for this scene, which is open for visitors today. Several adventures await you at the site, including spectacular views of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world on Skywalk. You can’t see this ten-foot wide, horseshow-shaped glass bridge in the film because construction didn’t start until 2003. It opened in 2007 and is now one of the major attractions in the area. You’ll have to go by car if you want to experience thrilling adventures at Grand Canyon West. Alternatively, you can join a tour that will take you there and to the Hualapai Tribal Lands. You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Las Vegas and transported back there for approximately 12.5 hours.

After destroying the motel where Luc and Veronica are staying, the UniSols head to a gas station where the couple flees. But unbeknown to them, the duo set a trap in the place. When two UniSols are inside, Garth (Tico Wells) realizes it’s a trick, yelling, “No, no! He tricked us!” He commands everyone to retreat and take cover. But it doesn’t take long for the entire place to explode, causing several soldiers to be caught on fire. This scene is the second time that Cool Springs service station has become ruins once again. Established in the mid-1920s, Cool Springs was a booming camp and service station and an essential stop for motorists traveling from the historic Route 66. It represented a lifesaving stop for travelers looking for a place to gas up, check for oil and water, or grab something to eat in the middle of a remote area. With the new roads built decades later that bypassed this part of Route 66, the place quickly became a ghost town. Then in the mid-60s, a massive fire burned Cool Springs, turning it into a crumbling stone relic until it came to life when Universal Soldier used it as a film location. Today, Cool Springs station is a functioning gift shop that opened in 2005. It offers souvenirs and memorabilia. It looks like a gas station outside but only sells gift items and snacks. No public transit will take you directly to Cool Springs station, so you’ll have to bring your car or rent one to get there.
