No, it hasn't really stood the test of time, like most 80s action films.

'Die Hard' and 'Lethal Weapon' have stood the test of time, I think. They both raised the level of action films way above 'Commando' though. (still; it was brilliant in 1985 when I first rented it.....)

Matrix: Where is she, Sully?
Sully: Kiss my ***!
Matrix: I can't hear you!
Sully: I'll say it a little louder then, get f*cked!
Matrix: Listen, loyalty is very touching. But it is not the most important thing in your life right now. But what is important is gravity!

Matrix: I have to remind you, Sully, this is my weak arm.
Sully: You can't kill me, Matrix. You need me to find your daughter.
Matrix: Where is she?
Sully: I don't know. But Cooke knows. I'll take you to where I am supposed to meet him.
Matrix: But you won't.
Sully: Why not?
Matrix: Because I already know.
Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully: That's right, Matrix, you did!
Matrix: I lied.

Cindy: What happened to Sully?
Matrix: I let him go.

Class!

Commando is one of Arnie's best films He's never gonna win an oscar, though he deserves one for bull$hitting his way into politics. How stoopid and fickle can the americans be?

You wanna watch 'Raw Deal', now that makes the rest of his films look fabulous even if they are utter $hite
