Sorry dude, though I love Commando and Arnold carrying a tree back to his cabin on his shoulder at the beginning nothing can top Predator for the ultimate Arnold/kick-ass/man-flick of the 80’s (possibly ever).
Amazing pic, love it. Word of warning to UK residents though - do not buy it on R2 DVD or watch it on TV - get a R1 DVD to see the full thing sans edits.
What was it with Bennet though, it was like being attacked by Freddy Mercury!
You said you’d kill me last - I lied.
What happened to Sully? I let him go.
Did the baddies rent their mansion from the crime syndicate from Beverly Hills Cop or something…
I saw Commando as a 15-16 year old. And it was the first time that I realized that explosions and gunfire do not make everything awesome. This movie was so bad, it actually matured me just a little. When your continuity errors are so obvious that they distract a teenage boy in the middle of a firefight scene, you have problems.
On that note, I loved how Commando could have a hot babe like Rae Dawn Chong, and NOT shoehorn in a romantic subplot that most of its core audience wouldn’t care about and that would only serve to detract from the “blowing shit up real good” action. Her and Arnie’s relationship in this movie seems to be strictly platonic.
