I purchased this DVD recently and was astounded. I remember seeing the movie when I was younger (my Dad had no sense of censorship besides "no titties" when it came to filtering out movies) and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I fucking love this movie. It's perfect!
It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Matrix, an ex-marine/army/whatever guy that gets "pulled back into duty" to save his kidnapped daughter (played by Alyssa Milano). I think this, along with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, marked the end of an era of great action movies. Commando is in my top 5 for greatest action movies of all time. It's not politically correct. It's not censored. It's just guns, explosions, and huge muscles by Arnold.
Some memorable moments:
Running the girl's red sports car into a telephone pole going like 80 MPH and jumping out immediately after impact asking if the girl is ok, like nothing happened.
Tearing the phone booth out of the wall with the guy still in it.
The whole ass-end of the movie, where he kills like 100 guys in 15 minutes.
I know at one point Arnold uses something along the lines of a M249 SAW and an M16 assault rifle at the same time, one in each hand. Cinematic greatness.
Some of the lines in the movie are just freakin' great.
"No chance."
"Let off some steam, Bennett."
"Trust me."
Any other fans of Commando out there?
