I always remember Commando for two things:

1. That saw blade to the head moment.

2. The car crash that looks like something straight out of thunderbirds. I could have made that more realistic if I'd made the set up myself.

Commando isnt too clever, if it was a war film it might be quite good. As it is its just 80s cheese about an ex commando after his missing daughter! And dont get me started on Bill Duke (also in Predator)

Predator is a class film though! I think if you merged The Running Man and Total Recall together you might have a good film! Red Heat is rubbish too!

End of Days was very good i thought though.

Commando is a classic, but very very cheesy.

The start is almost too cheesy to watch with arnie feeding deers and stuff with his daughter, and her being all "i love you daddy" - you just know shes about to get kidnapped!

first blood is actually alot better film than commando...not necessarily for all out mindless action, but mainly for the story and a shred of reality

'Let of some steam Bennett!!'

ROFL, how many takes did it take them to get into the sea plane near the end? Arnie's wet to the knees before entering the water, no, he's dry again, nope, wet again

The cheesy gags are what makes this film timeless and watchable over and over again

Matrix: What's wrong?
Cindy: This isn't a plane... it's a canoe with wings.
Matrix: Well, then, get in and start paddling.

or

Cooke: F*ck you, *******!
The he realises that his gun has no ammo left....
Matrix: F*ck you, *******.



Didn't realise that Jenny was played by Alyssa Milano........ hubba hubba!

Too true Predator is the daddy still brilliant as is Aliens.
