A one man army. A new kind of soldier in a new kind of war. [Video] [Australia]
When everyone's the victim .. He's the only hope they've got.
In war you have to kill to stay alive ... on the streets of New York, it's often the same.

THE EXTERMINATOR ... the man they pushed too far.

If you're lying, I'll be back...

He's not only smarter than the police-He's doing their job...He's the Exterminator
