> [@joebuck20](#): > > 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. Agreed. Strictly business. ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > There is always Jason Bourne. No, Bourne always jumps ONTO the plane after it takes off. Oh, BTW, I hate to admit this, since the script was so stupid, but, I thought that Arnold actually displayed a little bit of acting chops. A little. Best wishes, hh ---

The IMDB thread is priceless, eg: “M-60 machine guns are perfect for trimming hedges, whereas saw blades are perfect for trimming heads” or “The two greatest killing machines in the U.S. Army’s Special Forces are from Austria and Australia.” Read it [here](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088944/board/nest/136441071)(IMDB reg. required) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commando-1985-schwarzenegger-flick-appreciation-thread/531090.md?page=1)
