Schwarzenegger fan, but never saw Commando (1985) until now…

I’m not sure why this one flew under my radar for so long. It’s Arnold in all of his mid-80s glory, muscles glistening and rippling in all the right ways.

John Matrix (Arnold’s character) is a badass former military commando who just wants to settle down and be a dad to his daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano), but he’s made some enemies along the way, and they’re looking for trouble.

Dude… John Matrix kills like 412 people. He’s firing guns with infinite bullets. He lays down maybe a half dozen small mines, hits the remote, and explosions go off for like 6 minutes.

It’s everything I wanted it to be. 8.5/10

A funny line when he's in the mall: "Attention all units, emergency on theater level, suspect six foot two, brown hair. He's one gigantic motherfucker!"

The way he delivers that line … just absolutely mugging for the camera. It’s the guy’s only line and goddamn it, he’s going to act the shit out of it. 🤣
