Oo, Director's Cut? Interesting. I don't think I have that. Edit : I have that.

One liner heaven "You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last." "I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry." "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? ... I lied." "Let off some steam, Bennett." Enjoy

Didn't you guys react to this with Cinebinge an eternity ago before you had your channel ?

The oneliners were so abundant in action movies from the 80s that they were a running gag when Arnold made the ultimate action movie parody Last Action Hero.

Dallas Knight

Him and Sylvester Stallone had competitions for body counts in their movies. And who had the biggest guns and the most guns and explosions? It was a pure rivalry. This is the first time I've ever seen this director's cut. I've got to find it and own it

David Harvey

Hi Chandra and Jordan - Loved seeing your "Commando" reaction this morning. It the height of pure '80's Arnold Action Movies. Amost a 100 body count, with Arnold shooting and exploding everything, great alternate killing techniques with his trademark one-liners. No one else did it better than Arnold back then. Oh! Seeing this reminded me to ask you to put his second Conan Movie, "Conan The Destroyer" on your Fantasy Movie List. I think it's the best Film in the Conan Series. Cheers! Dave

I love the movie, but I'll never understand why they thought a bad guy dressed in Australian Freddie Mercury cosplay would be an intimidating bad guy.

Barry

I don't see them in Cinebinge's reaction of Commando 4 years ago.

pinkdino99

Yes, its no longer on their channel. It was really early work and they did a comparison between Commando and Rambo II with two special guests that I swear were Jordan and Chandra. They are after all in the same area.

Yes Vernon Wells was in Road Warrior (he had a mohawk and butt cheeks out). Also that was not chain mail. It was a crochet top.

Jay Davis

Peak 80s action cheese on a Tuesday afternoon? Yes please!

Sadly, the extra 5 minutes in director’s cut (which was on sale through Amazon for me happily) is only about half violence … oddly, most noticeable to me was some extra dialogue between Matrix and Cindy when they’re driving together. The film remains so great for its non-nonsense pacing and Bennett’s crochet chainmail shirt (such protective armor 🤣).

Jon Johns

There is absolutely no reason for me to associate this movie with Hitchcocks classic North by Northwest, but who can argue with a random though? Y'all should do another hitchcock pill. Or, maybe, start a Monday Mystery theme, or something 🤔🥰. I'd be curious what patrons would suggest for great mystery movies??

Jon Johns

Well, it's time for me to suggest (yet again) the Finnish action film "Sisu" (2022). It's Finnish, but it's all in English. It actually says "From the makers of John Wick" but I think it's only produced by them. But Sisu has everything you two like! Gratuitous violence, amazing scenes & stunts, and one badass good guy.

I was 5 or 6 when I first saw this in the 80s and I had the BIGGEST crush on Alyssa Milano.

Barry

Did you recognize Cooke, Bill Duke? He plays Mac in Predator (1987).

Dallas Knight

Is that's the same guy from weird science as well?

Dallas Knight

Yes, I've just checked that page. They have seen total recall

Maplenuts React

Ooo high praise for the Conan movie! We'll definitely be throwing that one on another poll eventually.

Maplenuts React

Wasn't us... I don't know who the heck it could have been though. Unless the other 2 people were remote. Way way waaaay back we did a reaction with them to a movie called Old Boy though!

Maplenuts React

I thought I mentioned recognizing him, at the end of our watch during the outro!

Hans Engelen

Ah must have missed that. It was quite late for me.

Hi Chandra and Jordan - Here is the posting from today's Cinema Shorthand Society Postings on Facebook on the backstory to "Commando"; "On this date in 1985, "Commando" was released. Writer Jeff Loeb said his original script was about an Israeli soldier who had renounced violence. Steven de Souza rewrote the script, tailoring it to Arnold Schwarzenegger. According to de Souza, Schwarzenegger told him, "I like this picture. I'm not a caveman. Before the shooting and killing, I'm a normal person." Originally, the studio execs didn't want Schwarzenegger to talk at all in the movie. This would have been a real loss, as Arnold's hilarious one-liners would have been sorely missed. Martial arts expert and fight choreographer Michael M. Vendrell worked with Schwarzenegger on the film, and, by the end of production, Vendrell estimated that Schwarzenegger had become a second degree black belt. According to Alyssa Milano, Schwarzenegger was very protective of her on set. "He even helped with my algebra homework." Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, Elisabeth Shue, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly and Patricia Arquette all auditioned for the role of Jenny. Rae Dawn Chong nailed her audition for the role of Cindy and was given this role on the spot. She took it, saying, "I knew Arnold would make the film a hit, and I wanted to be part of that." Schwarzenegger and Chong shot a love scene, but this was so unconvincing it was dropped from the movie. (IMDB). Cheers! Dave
