Mercenary for Justice
Cinema Poster
Mercenary for Justice Steven Seagal as John Seeger, who commands a squad of mercenaries hired by the CIA to carry out a coup d'état on a fictional island in Southern Africa. After his mercenaries are defeated due to the appearance of French regular troops, Seeger finds that his CIA employers are dissatisfied and now have a nearly suicidal mission for him and his men. Some of the battle scenes were filmed partially in Bulgaria (all scenes with T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles) while others were filmed in South Africa, resulting in numerous continuity errors.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Mercenary for Justice:
