@SpaceIce you forgot the best part ever!!! At the end when 80s music cranks up "youll be back Matrix" guitar riff of doom brant BRANT BRANT... No chanceeeee THEN he jumps in his stolen plane and no one bats an eyelid
Actually, the grenade thing is not that unreal. There are WWII testimionies of soldiers who had a grenade exploding just in front of them, and went out almost unscrached. There are also testimonies of soldiers who would take close to 20 bullet hits, go unconscious for a couple of hours, then wake up in a middle of nowhere, walk miles back to the camp not even aware of injuries, and then collapse.
@@piotrmalewski8178 None of that is true. If you go unconscious from bullet wounds, it's because you're bleeding out. You don't just magically wake up hours later, that only happens in movies
My dad rented this movie one night when my mom was out of town. I was, like, maybe seven or eight years old, and my dad told me "this is a really, really cool movie. You're probably too young to watch it. But I'll let you stay up and watch it with me on one condition: you can never, ever tell your mother I let you see this."
Same here with Predator, but guess what? I was so excited after watching it, i went straight home and told my mum all about it. Well she tore a massive strip off him lol, he never lets me forget 30 years later
I totally agree!! 😂😂 I watched this movie in the theater when it came out and I remember the entire crowd cheering like crazy, and I mean like everyone getting up and jumping on their seats, throwing their popcorn in the air crazy, when he put the pipe through Bennet and saying that line! 😆😆😆 You could truly feel the tension in the theater building up to that moment, and exploding when he said it. It was as if the entire crowd had agreed on doing that, but we were all strangers to one another. There was no agreement, it just happened. I have never experienced anything like that ever again. It was fucking AWESOME!! Man... as cheesy as a lot of it is, I sincerely love Arnold for giving us so much joy from & through his movies!! A true action hero!
When I was a kid, commando was banned in my country Norway, because of the violence, which of course, made the movie even more attractive, and we were trying to find a way to get it. Then a brother of a friend came back from the states and he brought the VHS tape. Can you imagine as a kid, not only did we get to see the new Arnie movie (and the movie blew my head off) it was illegal too! I can still remember how exciting this was 30 plus years later. The cover, the weapon depot robbery, the level of testosterone in my body must have matched Arnold’s at the time 😂 Oh, and even as a kid, we all knew something wasn’t quite right with Bennett.. How they managed to cast him we’ll never know 😂
It wasn´t suppoesed to be Vernon Wells. It was another actor, who was smaller. When the other actor couldn´t do it, Vernon Well, a much bigger guy had to wear the other guy´s clothes. That´s why he looks like that :)
Bennett was perfect though. It was someone you loved to hate, the opposite of the badass that was Arnold, where Bennett was more of a "badass" because he was a psycho against, well, Arnold.
@@razorwire3056 Are you crazy? If the two ever came closer than 50 feet in those days the combined manliness would have collapsed into a singularity and destroyed the planet.
I thought they were a little unfair about Bennett. The actor who played him was Vernon Wells who played Wez the psychotic Mohawked enemy of Mad Max in Road Warrior. Were good movie heavy.
This whole video is comedy gold, but the absolute best part is 6:58 when Bennett says “I’m gonna shoot you between the balls!” And even Space Ice almost break’s character and says “What?!” That had me rolling 😂😂😂
Definitely one of my favourite arnie flicks. Totally unapologetic, balls-to-the-wall violence. The third act is hands down, some of the most entertaining set pieces ever put on the silver screen. Pure 80’s testosterone ✌️
The sawblade to the head and the machete arm chop, as well as the table leg out through the chest, stuck in my head for decades as the most disturbingly awesome things I had ever seen!
My dad tried to name me James Logan (wolverine). Mom wanted Jonathan, thats fine, in some comics wolverine is John Logan. Since that's not my name I guess mom won. This was 30 years ago too. Before the x-men movies or other common superhero stuff was mainstream.
After the breakdown of the Warsaw pact and the reunion of Germany this was one of the first movies I saw on video. This was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. It screams out U S A every millisecond. Amazing flick. A piece of art and history.
those action movies which were only available on pirate VHSes (usually copied with the use of two VHS videos) had a unique value if you were living in post soviet countries like Poland for exp. Rambo II who fights Russians was also our here not only American.
My favorite scen is the fight scene in the hotel,when Arnold punches Cook through the door and there's a couple in the next room doing god knows cause he's bent over under the sheets with her behind him 🤣
Just letting you know that because of that scene. Me at 11 in 1986 decided I was going to open a gun store some day so I could have a hidden back room like that at 40 I was finally able to achieve my dreams. Than you Arnold.
Completely forgot that Arnold's daughter in this movie was Alyssa Milano and one of the other overconfident guys was Bill Duke who also was also killed in an unexpectedly quick manner in Predator. This movie is legendary!
You can't afford to be a black side character in an action movie. Not only are you guaranteed to die, you're going to die quickly, if not even die first. Lol
In the final fight when he's strolling along with the M60 mowing people down and every time they cut to him the ammo belt is a different length cracks me up every time.
This was basically Arnie's Demo Reel If you wanted to have Schwarzenegger in a film, you watch this one, so you know how to best utilize him Most actors show have a Demo Reel of them in their favorite genre, so they're not wasted on something dumb
As a teenager the shed scene blew my mind. He puts a pitchfork into one man, takes an axe to another guys balls, cuts off a dudes arm with a machete, and scalps someone with a saw blade. All this in about a 30 second time span. Absolutely crazy violent but somehow fun! Love Commando. Terminator and Predator are wonderful Arnold movies too.
I just watched this recently for the first time in like 20 years and it's surprisingly entertaining, with some great one-liners, crazy action sequences, and just general shenanigans and tomfoolery. 11/10, careers were forged here.
He's practically a Super Soldier in this movie. Jumping out of planes with no parachute, overpowering ten men, taking down a whole army by himself, surprised The Avengers haven't called him. Give him a shield and he's basically Captain America.
@@blairsmith3199 he also wouldn't have needed some lousy infinity stones to kill half of the population of the universe. Just give him a knife and some grenades and he is good.
He's one of the few humans to ever commit the word 'pissant' to film, and does it better than anyone else ever has done x infinity. It's important that everyone tries to use the word pissant as often as possible, to get it used much more commonly.
Dude i still remember all those 1 liners. "Let off some steam Bennet" 🤣🤣 this movie is the most bad ass movie ever. Plus the opening scene is just epic. I even had the boots he wore and told all my friends i had the commando boots...classic
Who can forget the magically regenerating Porsche. It's so in fear of Arnold it removes all the scratches and dent when he gets into it to drive away after killing Sully.
Commando is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING Arnold Schwarzenegger is John Matrix he eats Green berets for breakfast Taking on enemy Soldiers is like cutting warm butter
And Lies about having a bad arm to Sully while hanging him off a cliff ..then again… maybe he did have a bad arm considering he ripped a phone booth out of the floor while carrying tjat huge ass tree on shoulder in beginning too
About the only movies I watched thru the 80's were action adventure shoot 'em ups. If it didn't have firefights, explosions and a high body count I wasn't interested. I must have seen Commando almost a hundred times at least once a week. Such good times.
Don't forget the obligatory tit scene in many of those movies. The one in Commando was when the couple was banging in the hotel. Arnold and Bill Duke were beating the hell out of each other and destroying the room next to them and they just kept on banging. I like to think that after Arnold and Bill crashed into their room then Arnold killed Bill right in front of them they just went right back to banging. The girl from that scene, Ava Cadell, went on to obtain two doctorates. No matter what great things she went on to achieve, I like to think the highlight of her life was flashing her tits for a few seconds in Commando.
Only a pissant would say this. I used to watch it a hundred times EVERY week! :D Keep on watching it - it's the best film ever created. Along with every other Arnie action film. But also better.
Fun fact: When Arnold slices off that dude's arm with the machete, he originally said "Need a hand?" but the producers thought that was a bit too morbid, so they cut it.
This is easily one of my favorite action movies of all time. It is pure distilled spirit of the action genre at a time - the 1980s - when the best action movies of all time were made. This movie stands out as tickling almost every single nerve of the action category, and solidified Arnold's place as a the de-facto action star. In a decade filled with incredible action movies and actors, this was perfect. I show my sons this movie every few months. Popcorn and all that. Great fun. The death toll in this movie I can't even quantify.
Some 20th Century Fox executive producer: - We need a snappy Bennett one-liner A coked-out screenwriter: - How about, "I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes. I'm going to shoot you between the balls"
The Valmet M78/83 (the Finnish RPK) was the best gun Arnie used in this movie. It also showed up in Predator (briefly) because both movies were supplied by the same theatrical armory. 5:20 The M202 FLASH was designed in such a way that it's impossible to make that mistake IRL.
I made my wife watch Commando when we first got married 20 years ago... She said: That movie was just garbage... I said: watch your blasphemy woman!! This is a timeless classic.
I remember watching this in the 90s as a kid on Superstation. Usually comes on after the Jackie Chan marathons and Robocop. Cyborg with Jean Claude Vann Dame is good as well as Timecop, as well as Demolition Man 👍🏾
The funniest scene is the blackmailer at the beginning who was so confident he had Arnold over a barrel. "You're gonna cooperate, right?" Arnold: Wrong! BLAM!!!
My brother and I always thank the gods, old and new, that our parents were huge action movie fans and took us to see Arnold, Stallone, and JCVD films in theatres, we had awesome childhoods 😢
That Bennet line is one of the most WTF moments in the history of moviemaking. No matter how many times I watch this movie, which I love, I'm always like WHAT?! at that line.
This is the movie I immedialty think of when I think of 80s action. It's the most pure form of it I've ever seen. It's the action movie I compare all others to, and nothing except for the John whick movies has come close to its greatness. Even rambo owes this movie a debt of gratitude.
For the past 11 years I’ve been celebrating Schwarzgiving instead of Thanksgiving. I build an Arnold shrine in my living room that continues to grow and watch Arnold movies all day. Just finished Commando🦾 Your Arnold videos are now part of this glorious day as interludes. Please make more!!!
Now that you mention it the movie really is made entirely out of one liners. No wonder I like it so much. My favorite is "Hey! You can't drive that in here!".
Dude this was so freaking hilarious I couldn't stop laughing. I loved this movie so much when I was a kid, its still great to this day. Commando, Predator, Total Recall, oh my god you need to do one of these for The Running Man. I swear that movie sets the record for those awesome one liners. Just absolute insanity but its got to be considered top 3.
The first time I saw Commando, I laughed so hard it took me half an hour just to stop. I have never laughed so hard before or since then. Simply amazing movie.
Loved this movie. Everyone knows that grenades are for double jumping. We laughed are arsses when we saw the cardboard soldiers in the explosion scene. Usually you don't notice that stuff until you get the VHS tape but it was clear as day in the theaters. LOL Loved it!
Grew up in the 80’s and boy I missed these testosterone-packed action movies! Always had this smile in people’s faces coming out from the theaters! Movies should entertain! Not preach BS!

"After killing 22,000 men he finally runs out of ammo." Love it!
The Russian Army ran out of ammo before Arnie did.
Retired Arnold without ammo is deadlier than a normal soldier with a nuke bomb.
If you go back and count, it's actually 24,000 men. Many die off screen
And keeps on killing with gardening equipment.

Dude your channel is the best thing I have found in months, keep doing this great work
I remember watching this in the 90s as a kid on Superstation. Usually comes on after the Jackie Chan marathons and Robocop. Cyborg with Jean Claude Vann Dame is good as well as Timecop, as well as Demolition Man 👍🏾
Demolition Man is so good, I was once seeing a girl who brought it up before I did saying it was one of her favourite movies 🥵
The funniest scene is the blackmailer at the beginning who was so confident he had Arnold over a barrel.
"You're gonna cooperate, right?"
Arnold: Wrong! BLAM!!!
Similar to the gun store scene in The Terminator.
My brother and I always thank the gods, old and new, that our parents were huge action movie fans and took us to see Arnold, Stallone, and JCVD films in theatres, we had awesome childhoods 😢
You’re making great videos. I’m loving them. Keep at it pal.
That Bennet line is one of the most WTF moments in the history of moviemaking.
No matter how many times I watch this movie, which I love, I'm always like WHAT?! at that line.
This is the movie I immedialty think of when I think of 80s action. It's the most pure form of it I've ever seen. It's the action movie I compare all others to, and nothing except for the John whick movies has come close to its greatness. Even rambo owes this movie a debt of gratitude.
“Because brakes are for pussies” I woke my wife up laughing so hard
I'm a physicist and I approve this message.
When I was 10 years old, I watched this movie at least 3 times a day. There is no singular reason for why. It just fucking rocked.
The greatest Arnie's movie. An archetypical action movie. Perfect in so many ways.
Commando is so awesome that even Deadpool shows up at 2:28 inside the blast to congratulate Arnold on a job well done.
Still one of the best movies ever...it doesn't try to be anything but 80's era fun! 😁😁😁
For the past 11 years I’ve been celebrating Schwarzgiving instead of Thanksgiving. I build an Arnold shrine in my living room that continues to grow and watch Arnold movies all day. Just finished Commando🦾 Your Arnold videos are now part of this glorious day as interludes. Please make more!!!
Best action star ever and forever
Most unintentionally hilarious movie of all time(possibly tied with Death Wish 3). Could never be re-created...a one-off one of a kind masterpiece
Yes! Death Wish 3 is an absolute masterpiece.
@@AdventuresWithMe00 yes, another one of a kind masterpeice
nope death wish wins ... bronson takes bad acting to a whole other stratosphere
@@kitrik23 he just played himself. Just like fellow master steven seagal
Hannibal Barca, Great Man ... Much much respect
This is the best UA-cam channel ever made, congratulations to you my friend.
'I let him go' is my favorite movie one liner of all time.
I had a commando costume and toy set when I was like 5 years old and I wore it to kindergarten one day. The 80s were fucking amazing.
I adore this movie so much,I watch it at least 3 times a year.Whenever I'm in a shitty mood I watch this or space ice 🤘👍
Can't believe I used to watch this after school with my friend when we were in Kindergarten. Ahhh, the 80's.
I always loved the scene where he takes the whole army out, classic. Also the part where he breaks into the gun store to stock up.
Now that you mention it the movie really is made entirely out of one liners. No wonder I like it so much. My favorite is "Hey! You can't drive that in here!".
I grew up watching this movie weekly. This movie is the most awesome movie ever made. You are correct.
Dude this was so freaking hilarious I couldn't stop laughing. I loved this movie so much when I was a kid, its still great to this day. Commando, Predator, Total Recall, oh my god you need to do one of these for The Running Man. I swear that movie sets the record for those awesome one liners. Just absolute insanity but its got to be considered top 3.
"Hey light bulb! Hey Christmas treeee!"
Probably one of the greatest action movies ever, ever, ever, ever made!!!!!
The first time I saw Commando, I laughed so hard it took me half an hour just to stop.
I have never laughed so hard before or since then. Simply amazing movie.
I laughed so hard when you broke character for that "What??"
"don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired" & "I let him go." best lines
Loved this movie.
Everyone knows that grenades are for double jumping.
We laughed are arsses when we saw the cardboard soldiers in the explosion scene. Usually you don't notice that stuff until you get the VHS tape but it was clear as day in the theaters. LOL Loved it!
I think I have watched this video 100 times and still can't get enough of it 😂😂😂🎉🎉
I regard Commando as the single greatest action flick ever made. This movie has the most awesome pacing and editing I have seen to date.
Scientific fact sir.
My pops had this classic on VHS. Simply amazing.
Arnold is so awesome that the 911 Porsche repaired itself after they crashed it
im in my mid 40s ...love the 80s action movies... i havent laughed as hard as i have watching your vids in years great job thank you man
such an underrated movie
It's got zillions of fans
@@markkumanninen6524 it deserves more then that!
Grew up in the 80’s and boy I missed these testosterone-packed action movies! Always had this smile in people’s faces coming out from the theaters! Movies should entertain! Not preach BS!
You should do a review on “running man” 👍
Oooh boy, definitely. Or Total Recall!
I loved this movie when I was a kid.
My dad called these types the "Ten dead for a dime" movies.
The greatest action movie of all time.
I was so hoping one-liners was number 1 and you did not disappoint.
