Anybody know this movie?
I remember this as a kid (I'm 30 now). But no idea from what movie...
A cop or state trooper is standing by an 18 wheeler on the side of a highway, nothing is around. He is questioning a guy in a tan trenchcoat and tells him to put his hands up. As the trenchcoat guy complies, we notice that there is a double barreled shotgun in his sleeve. Once its level with the cops chest, he fires, producing the nastiest gaping shotgun wound I think I've ever seen. The cop flies back and the bad guy goes on his way.
Its been years but that scene from where ever has always stuck with me. I would love some help with this mystery. Thanks!

A few years ago I asked a similar questions, but cannot find the old thread for some reason.
If this is the same movie, there is a scene where an assassin is cutting off the end of a lightbulb, filling the bulb with gasoline or something, and reattaching the end. Later, when his target enters the room, he flips on the switch and the bulb explodes.

The Mechanic with Charles Bronsan maybe? I've seen this movie with the exploding lightbulb more than once. Hope somebody knows for certain. Going to bug me till I find out now.

Thanks, HN! "Soldier" was the name of it - not the Kurt Russell film, a different one:
http://www.amazon.com/Soldier-James-.../dp/0792840801
I could picture the lead actor but couldn't remember the name - Ken Wahl.
