The number of one liners in this movie was awesome. This is classic Arnold. My favorite Arnie film by far. "Please do not disturb my friend. He's DEAD tired".
Nobody, but NOBODY can give the camera a deadpan glance the way J can. That's what I want on a t-shirt. J with a deadpan glance. I would wear that EVERYWHERE. As usual, your reactions are The Best On RUclips and you made me laugh and smile. This was so much fun to see you react to. 🙂
@@EOMReacts If there is any way I could get his face on a black tank top, I would wear it to all my fitness classes. (Hooray for broader channel exposure!) "EOM" on the front, and J's face on the back. Every client behind me in barre class would want to know the scoop with who is on my shirt. 😀
@@ResidentPetrolhead It's crazy because every time I hear that score it reminds me of 48 Hours. I had no idea it was the same composer, but it makes sense now.
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l Yep, and when you watch the trailer for Commando they used a track from 48 hours, and for the longest time I thought it was just scratch stuff that was done for the movie that never got used. Horner had some interesting phases in his career. Some of the elements of Commando make their way into Aliens.
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l If you get the chance, back-to-back Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan and Krull. Horner did both of those a year apart (maybe less) and it's like he wrote 1 score and split it in half for the films. There's only a small bit of overlap, so they're not the same score, but you can tell he wrote them around the same time.
The one Arnold told that he'll kill last. Well, also played in 'The Warriors'. He was the one who clicked some pop bottles together while saying, "Warriors! Come Out And Play!".
Also played T-Bird in The Crow. Patrick something, something. He's a good actor that's been in a ton of stuff and should be more well known than he is.
I was 9 when this came out. It was THE badass movie with all us boys back then. As we got older we realized how ridiculous it is, but that just made it even better! Side note: my lifelong crush on Alyssa Milano started with this movie. Lol
Yes, Matrix's daughter was Alyssa Milano and the radar guy was Bill Paxton. Did you know that Carl Weathers from the Rocky movies and Predator had a starring role in the action movie "Action Jackson"? I love that movie and wish that more people would have appreciated and watched to that movie.
Funniest parts of this reaction: 1) the pause to rant at Blank; 2) how animated you got cursing the woman because she ratted on Matrix. 😂😂 Love the reactions. Keep after it!
😂🤣😂🤣😂 I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again you are by far the best reactor on RUclips, your investment and reactions to bits within all films is pure entertainment. You have me in stitches from start to finish, keep up the great work & can’t wait for more videos….. 👌🏻
Great reaction J Man! Couldn't stop the laughing during the course of your reaction 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. "The main villain look like he sing back-up for Prince." 😂😂🤣🤣
Thanks to Blank for leaving in the rant. It really is a crazy movie. 🙂 I also tend to think that people laughing at JL for jump-scares, it's because the jump-scares get us, too, so its nice to see someone else jump, too. I think it's more laughter of a shared experience than mockery. 🙂
Your impersonation of the guy who had the top of his head sliced off at the shed door just about finished me off! "He was Surprised!" 😂😂😂This, like all the rest of your reactions... Was the best one yet! You smashed the fourth wall down with this one
My nephew's name is Bennett, and when he would cry, as a baby, I would just say "Let off some steam, Bennett!!" Also, when you paused after Matrix scalps the dude with the saw blade, and went on your tangent, I laughed my ass off!!
I love this movie, it is the epitome of 80's action. The motivation for what Matrix does works for me. Loved your reaction and your rant, BTW it was a circular saw blade he shaved the top of that guys head off with. Whenever you say "Shuddup" or "Don't Laugh" it makes me laugh even if I wasn't laughing. Thanks J & B.
This movie is kind of a satire of the action movie genre because it is so over the top. It was released when I was an early teen and we watched it on VHS a couple of times that day. A lot of the fun was just pointing out all the times Matrix or Cindy would have died or been badly injured, and laughing at the way he waded through all those bullets without taking a hit, aside from a flesh wound that had no effect. Also check out the Nostaglia Critic's video on "Commando". He has much the same opinion of it but does a better job of explaining it.
I can't explain it, but JL has the ability to make you happy just because something has made him happy. I have 5 brothers, one of them also has this ability and everyone likes him. But I'm not jealous or resentful or anything.😅
as many people have said, this might not be the best arnold movie, but it is the *most* arnold movie! "i have to remind you sully, this is my weak arm." 😆😅😂🤣
OMG...I am laughing so hard at your reaction!!! Commando is the quintessential 80s action movie. Great one-liners, a one-man army, and Rae Dawn Chong...lol
"My bad. Your leg, balls and nipples gonna fall off" 😂😂😂 when describing the medicine commercials. They always speed run through the side effects at the end lol and make you wonder if worth it to even use in the first place.
There’s a reason for all the Arnold movies this far. LoL True Lies and Running Man will prob come first. But Last Action Hero is 1000% coming. Had to put him thru the Arnold boot camp first to make it as good as possible. LoL
I had a teacher in middle school who would quote Commando, so I knew every iconic line before I ever saw this piece of 80's madness 😅 Also, David Patrick Kelly (Sully) is always a treat, even in small roles like this.
I haven't seen this in years, an Arnold 80's classic! As always another great reaction J and Blank does such a great job editing!!! Much love from Oregon💚😄

Bro this was the funniest I've laughed at any of your videos! This is literally one of my favorite movies. I recite every line whenever I watch it. So glad you got to experience it. Cheers.
One of the pinnacles of 80's action movies. They must have had a team of people thinking of different ways to kill bad guys. The internet says he dispatched about 87 of them.
This movie is absolutely perfect. Of course it's ridiculous, but it's perfect. It is exactly what you expect it to be and it delivers in spades. I have seen it probably 20 times or 30 times, and I never get tired of it. It's just the epitome of stupid, ridiculous action movies of the 80s, and it's glorious.
Yes, that was Bill Paxton and he was certainly the guy from Terminator, he was also in Aliens, Predator 2 and pretty much all the other late 80's and early 90's action movies.
Haha, yeah when I saw this in the 80's my favorite part was the circular saw blade cutting off the top of that guys head! Glad it tripped you out so much you had to pause and rant!!😅😂🤣
That cocaine cabinet is gonna be filled soon!! May need to hit up IKEA for a new one! Thanks for another epic reaction JL and amazing editing by Blank. Much love!!
Sully final line when he screams to his death is "Ooh La La". The chainmail vest was actually knitted and made for a different actor, but with changes and time constraints they didn't have time to make one for Vernon Wells. Die Hard the movie was ment to be Commando 2, Arnold dropped out of the casting and rewrites were done so Bruce got the job so Arnold=Matrix and Bruce=Mcclain are the same person.
@32:00 is the most amazing, and funny description of a film I've ever seen. Actual tears of laughter when you where talking about how surprised buddy was when he caught a side fade.😂😂😂😂
In his final assault on the compound, you can see like cardbord cutouts of the soldiers in the building explosions, and also he ends up killing the same extras over and over since they only got so many people to play the soldiers. You can especially notice a guy with a big mustache.
Man. Breaking down the ridiculous 80's action movie plot, you said the main bad guy after Arnold "looks like he's a back up singer for Prince" !!! OMG!! I literally laughed out loud. So glad I subscribed.
"The main villain looks like he sings backup for Prince!' Lordy...that 'bout killed me!🤣
No - he was a lead singer for Queen...
If anyone wants to know why Vernon Wells got the role. He was the villain in Mad Max Road Warrior. They wanted to try to recapture that badass dude.
Like number 69. 🧨🧨🧨🧨👏👏👏🍻🥂
"We gotta acknowledge the fact that this man just scalped that man with a f*#kin' frisbee." Dude, you almost made me pee my pants.🤣

Was about to say the same shit. WHen you do some shit like that, you know the movie is fucking looney tunes level.
Commando has to be on the mt Rushmore of movies that epitomizes the 80s. Absolutely glorious

I watched another reactor watching Menace to Society and he immediately recognized Bill Duke's silhouette before he even came into the foreground lol.

we was also the guy who was "Warriors come out to play guy"
He was also T-Bird in "The Crow!"

This is The Most Arnie, of all the Arnold Schwarzenegger films.
And the blueprint that Every 80's action film is compared to.
Fact.
But the one unusual thing that set this movie apart was that the hero protagonist was named "John".
In my life, I have never been in tears laughing at a reaction. Thank you, sir. You have made my day. 😂😂😂
The only action film I can think of with synth + steel drums as the musical theme. That’s special..
Excellent bit of recycling from James Horner there, basically just reusing his righteous score from 48 HRS. again.

I caught that too, when he sh0t the gun store owner with the shotty.
That muscle is called pectoralis claviculus 😂
I loved this movie as a kid...now it's one of the most comical action movies to watch, but I still can't stop watching it.
I have never laughed as much at an action movie as this! Thank you!!!🤣
Bennett is the same actor who played the mohawk guy in Mad Max II: The Road Warrior starring Mel Gibson.
I read that that's why they cast him, but he put on some pounds since that film, so he ended up not being as intimidating here.
I really like this movie with Arnold, I often watched it on TV as a child) In the film, a young Bill Paxton appeared in a cameo role back then.

I always forget how much I love these movies until I watch someone who’s never seen them enjoy them!
Laser Mission with Brandon Lee has the same vibe as this movie. So much action, unrelenting cheese, walking off bullet wounds. Fun stuff.
In his final assault on the compound, you can see like cardbord cutouts of the soldiers in the building explosions, and also he ends up killing the same extras over and over since they only got so many people to play the soldiers. You can especially notice a guy with a big mustache.
Those soldiers put those cardboard cutouts there and went home, because they heard Matrix was coming.
Best part...."He's carrying a tree. He's carrying a freshly cut tree."
Bruce Willis' movie, 'Hudson Hawk' is one for 'the cabinet'! React to it and find out why!
