    The Commando Appreciation Thread

    Arnies finest moment, bar none.

    This was such a groundbreaking film it's untrue. It paved the way for ALL action films to come. Featuring such great ideas:

    1) Hunky semi-homosexual main character. In the first 10 minutes he sneaks up behind someone, pokes a "hard thing" in their back, wanders half-naked through the forest whilst feeding deer, and chops wood semi-nude. And he's called John Matrix XD

    2) Fat full-homosexual main enemy. Bennett is the greatest nemesis known to man, in his chainmail vest and camp moustache. Apparently, Vernon Wells, actor who plays Bennett, likens Bennett to "Freddie Mercury gone fat".



    3) Guns that never run out of ammo. EVER.

    4) Doors that you can rip the handle off, then use said handle to pick your way through a nailed-shut doorway.

    5) The best climactic fight EVER. Bennett and Matrix have the best fight known to cinema, concluding with the timeless "LET OFF SOME STEAM, BENNETT" quote.

    However, Commando loses marks due to the lack of Arnie's trademark "EUOWWWW" shout he does in all films.

    Links to amuse you, make sure you play the "Let off some steam, Bennett" flash game.



    Commando -The 1985 Action / Adventure movie featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rae Dawn Chong at the award winning 80s Movies Rewind. 8 pages of info, trailer, pictures and more.


    USELESS FACT!

    Commando 2 had a script written, and it turned into Die Hard, because Arnie wouldn't commit to another film. Shame.

      "I DON'T LIKE GIRLS, JOHN!!"

      No kidding. Who ever thought Freddie Mercury in a chain-mail vest would be scary should have a pipe thrown him. Great picture

      Commando pwns in its ludicrousness. A triumph of stupidity over common sense.

      RAH!!!

                          Arnie's confused by men in make-up - and not for the first (and least ignoble) time.

                          Why deny yourself the pleasure, Bennett?

                            What a film!
                            John Matrix jumping from a plane taking off and being unharmed = amazing
                            John Matrix questioning a dead person was also good

                              Even more of an achievement when you see the swamp he lands in only has about 3ft of water in it
