military squad in the forest, there's a werewolf, but it's NOT Dog Soldiers

I think this came out sometime in the early 90s.  I remember a scene with a bunch of soldiers getting lined up and executed, but a couple of them survive and escape somehow.  One is injured.  They get chased through the woods.  The injured guy ends up getting shot later I think.  Also, one of the guys who was in their unit turns into a werewolf.  At the end, there is a Predator-like showdown at a cabin, and I think there's a woman at this point too.  The werewolf sees a tripwire connected to an explosive, and he salutes to the hero, and then chops the wire with his claw to set off the explosive and kill himself (like he's realizing he became a monster).

I'm sure this movie is NOT Dog Soldiers, but all my google searching comes up with is Dog Soldiers results.  Any help is appreciated!

I found some films that are similar to your description, but none of them seem to match perfectly.

War Wolves (2009)

Last Stand (2005)

Lycanthrope (1999)

Could this perhaps be from a horror series, such as "Monsters" or "Tales from the Crypt"?

There's a small chance that it's Lycanthrope, but definitely not any of the others you mentioned.  Problem is, there are ZERO images/videos of Lycanthrope online to verify!  I see one used VHS for $40 on amazon, but that's it.

I vividly remember the scene where the werewolf salutes, and then lowers his hand to chop the tripwire and set off the explosive.  Grr this is driving me crazy!

I really wish I could be of more help here-because I remember seeing the movie your talking about, but I can't remember its title either. Although, maybe I can help narrow the search. If it is the same movie I'm thinking of, the monster isn't exactly a werewolf-it just sort of looked like one. The commander was infected by some sort of chemical (super solder) serum that turned him into the creature.  There's a scene where his senses start getting hypersensitive to the point he hears a spider spinning its web.  Yes, there's a woman in the cabin and her younger brother is with her.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Yes you're right - he wasn't exactly a werewolf, but similar to one...and now that you reminded me, I definitely remember the woman and her brother at the cabin.  Ok I will try doing google research for "creature" and related terms instead of "werewolf" and see if I can find it.  Thanks!
