> [@Rodgers01](#): > > I have no idea what move it’s from but when Arnold says the line at 3:32 [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqSyQl3SCo8) he sounds so sincerely hurt that it makes me…laugh. You mean “You used to be somebody I could trust.” ? It’s from _Predator_. Arnold’s character is directing the line to Carl Weathers, who is playing a CIA agent who lied to get Arnold’s commando team to escort him into a warzone. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > Arnold really loves his daughter (young Alyssa Milano) in Commando. It is probably his most over-the-top action movie of all but one of the main premises of it is that he just wants to be a good single parent to his little girl. This was my vote, it was perfect acting chemistry between those two and the father-daughter interaction was completely convincing. ---

I loved that bit. I love the whole movie, and think it was his best role. “I’ve never just _talked_ to a woman. It’s _nice_.” “Mom! You’ve turned him into a wimp!” ---

Arnold was very touching in “Commando” when he told Solly that he lied when he said he was going to kill him last. Has me all teary-eyed every week when I watch this classic. ---

It’s why his character in that movie is named John _Matrix_: it was a subtle announcement that, for the first time, he was going to be playing a role that wasn’t one-dimensional. yup, pulled that straight outta my ass. ---
