    Yeah his criticisms of it are fair now I read his review in a less triggered frame of mind.

    Still an amazing flick though.

    You have to excuse some artistic licence I reckon. Unlike many films they didn't make out that the little band of men singlehandedly win the war

    I don't think he'd be a fan of Commando despite it clearly being based on a true story.

    anyone not a fan of Commando is obviously mentally deficient. Clearly the pinnacle of 80s action, if not action full stop.

    The realism is what gets me. Muscle Bound guys standing in the middle of a garden will always defeat multiple enemies hiding behind trees and walls.

    Funny how Arnie could spray the area with his M60 and kill all those guys trying to shoot him....

    As long as you wait a few years before perving at Alyssa Milano I agree 100%

    Or the chick with the massive cans during the Matrix/Cook punch up.

    Cook shoulda been the main baddie, not gay Bennett.

    Choose or die I would have to go Predator as that was so unique at the time.

    My fall back from missing out on Commando would have been Rambo so I would still be happy.

    I sill love the "Murdock! I'm coming for you!!"

    Commando every day for me. Predator is all sorts of awesome. But Commando is another level. Better lines. Better novelty deaths. Better bullshit. An off-the-charts body count. It has everything.

    I would really miss Predator though. Like, a lot. Arnie was the fucking king

    And fuck you Hooroo, Commando shits on any Rambo movie from a very great height.

    Both are the twin pillars of 80’s movie fucking awesomeness.

    The Interview

    I thought this was going to be a pile of shit but I actually quite enjoyed it. Mindless comedy as per most Seth Rogan novies but some funny stuff in there, and anything that mercilessly mocks the NK regime is worth producing.

    3 celebrity journalists out of 5 crying Jong-un's.

    Original isn’t a bad movie but it’s not the same thing as Commando etc
    Rambo II and III went there but failed pretty spectacularly.

    I reckon you could go back about 100 pages in this thread and find pretty much the same conversation about Commando...

    Why do I have to choose between the 2? I have both on VHS 🙂
