 Commando Commando Quote: Commando is a 1985 American action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vernon Wells, Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, Bill Duke, Dan Hedaya and James Olson. It was directed by Mark L. Lester and shot on location in and around Los Angeles, California.
The film was nominated for a Saturn Award in 1986 for Best Special Effects but lost to James Cameron's Aliens, another movie with music provided by James Horner from Commando. A critical success and commercial hit, Commando is the 7th highest grossing movie of 1985.

Not a very good movie per se.
But, was sure as hell entertaining none the less. I remember thinking years ago how cool this movie was.
I will give it a B.

probably one of Arnold's biggest where he makes fun of himself, hams it up and lots of great one-liners.
Somewhere in the middle of Arnold's 5 or 10 year run.
plus an unfortunately too young but still cute Alyessa Milano.

Great because it is probably the most rediculous film ever made. And it is so amazing seeing Arnold being the ultimate Badass. There are so many things you just laugh hysterically at, and even though its bad, you'll think its amazing
A for Awesome

Cearly one of the best films of all time. Arnie spits out more one liners than any other movie in history and delivers them as only he can. The way he disposes of the like of Sully by informing him that while holding him over a cliff that he is holding him with his weak arm. Also after eliminating Bennet by ripping off a pipe from the wall and throwing it through his chest, he informs him to let off some steam.
I have watched this movie so many times I nearly have the whole thing memorized.

Best moment is in the end when they are fighting, Bennet is getting the crap beat out of him, then he gets electricuted, screaming histerically, then when he gets off he is I guess powered by that and gains the upper hand on Matrix.
though the phone booth is quite amazing too and the airplane escape are quite magnificent too.

Uttter garbage. But it's interesting to see these days and watching it you can tell that video game makers were inspired by some parts of it. Commando is more like watching someone play a first person shooter than watching a movie.

Did anyone ever hear of this deleted scene:
When Schwarzenegger cuts off the guys arm with the ax in the shed, the man screams and Arnold smacks him in the face with the arm and says Shut Up!

Just started on AMC! Even though they cut out the swearing, I am obligated to watch it. Definitely a favorite.

One of the best 80's action films. There is nothing to not like about this film. It is so filled with action and fun and Schwartz is fuking awesome and hulking in this one.
"Remember Sully when I promised to kill you last?"
"That's right Matrix you did."
"I LIED!!!!"
One of most quotable films of all time as well.
10/10

Commando
Chose this for an in-flight movie. That's how you should fly! Never watch a movie you haven't seen. The viewing conditions are not good enough. Watch one that you've seen so many times and that you absolutely love. Commando is that one. One of the best action movies ever. Extremely quotable. Hilarious. Easily watchable.
