The Ultimate Weapon
Theatrical Release Poster
The Ultimate Weapon is a 1998 Canadian action movie directed by Jon Cassar. Ben 'Hardball' Cutter (Hulk Hogan ), a seasoned mercenary, is hired for a mission against gunrunners. Together with Vince Dean (Carl Marotte ), a son of Cutter's late friend, he successfully completes the mission but finds out that he is double-crossed, and his employers are members of a terrorist group who want the guns for themselves. Angered, Cutter destroys the weapon depot. Then the terrorists under the command of McBride (Daniel Pilon ) start the hunt for Cutter and his family.
The following weapons were used in the film The Ultimate Weapon :
