This was that sweet spot Arnold created where everything was a bit over the top and silly and borderline parodying itself but still extremely badass because it was Arnold doing it, and he actually looked like he could run through a brick wall. Golden age of action.
You're right, if you stuck Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley into this you wouldn't have to change anything else about the scene but the genre would be completely different.
It’s a masterpiece of what it’s trying to do. It’s completely unpretentious entertainment and it excels at being just that. Makes it an all time great for me. I love thought provoking artistic cinema as much as the next guy, but sometimes I just need dumb and silly (but above all well constructed and executed) action to get my kicks. This film is exactly that. Perfection!
I can see why Stallone hated him. This was obviously Annie's answer to rambo 2. Same year and even uses the m60 just like Rambo. That rivalry gave us some of the best action flicks of the 80s and 90s, though so you can't complain.
The whole point of an action movie is to see real stunts and real actual set pieces get destroyed and marvel at it, not stupid cgi crap you know was made on a computer in a freakin stupid ass studio
To be honest, it's quite hard to spot it. I only noticed because I was wondering how those bad guys were able to jump that high. If I didn't replay that part, I would remain oblivious.
Because you’re so focused on the explosion and the fact that the camera quickly tilts up along with the quick cut, it’s easy to miss on a first time viewing. I think the very static dummies outside the barracks when they explode are _much_ more egregious 🤣
You know what I love about this movie, especially at 2:20. These poor souls are just hired sentries. Some of them meet fates worse than the actual guys that kidnapped his daughter. I mean, one guy gets scalped by a saw blade and another takes an ax to the groin. All this when they are just following orders and making a few bucks. Best movie ever.
Man 12 gauge sends people back 20 feet in the air. Gotta love the 80’s cinema. When I was a kid I thought that was all cool. Now as an middle 40’s guy I laugh. 😅
Yup! The way those soldiers reacted to being shot up was Ultra Silly. Same with me and my Dad and uncle and cousin. Our sides hurt from laughing so much.
@babymammoth34 I remember watching this one as a family, My brother laughed so hard that he Squirted soda through his nose and my sister fell out of her chair and hit her head on the wall 😆

2:25 This scene needs some one-liners. “RAKE it in.” “Just a little off the top.” “I SAW you coming.” “I must AXE you something.” “Now you are DISARMED.”
Commando and Rambo are basically the inspiration for the game *Contra* on the NES. The two main characters (player 1 and player 2) are John Rambo and John Matrix. Of course, the NES couldn't call them that, but the likeness is definitely there.
I'll never forget watching this movie as a kid - not only did I end up believing that magazines held waaaaay more rounds of ammo than they actually do, but I also learned the difference between what a bullet from a rifle will do to a person vs a shotgun blast. So glad my parents let me watch any action movie I wanted while I was growing up. 😁
That first minute. Best sounding machine gun ever haha. That's the number one thing I always remember about this movie. It sounds like a damn helicopter.
Just suspend your disbelief a little bit and imagine that is truly the most dangerous man on the planet that is actually capable of all these things and those exactly how fast or slow and when to move so he doesn’t get hit with any bullets. This movie is epic. John matrix can kill anybody
Exactly my sentiments. As long as I’m enjoying it, I don’t care how unrealistic it is, I’ll happily watch it, if that’s the tone it’s going for at least. If it tries to be all self-serious with stuff like this, then I’ll laugh at it rather than with it. But I’m in on the joke when I watch this one, the filmmakers had a blast making it, I have a blast watching it. Silly, streamlined, badass… fun. What more could you ask for?
The good old springboard assist ‘triple back somersault with a half twist’ grenade explosion followed by the sound of wet cabbages being slapped on every bullet hit. I LOVE this movie!
I like the fact that none of them are even aiming - add the fact all the gunshot sound effects are the same that were also used in Big Trouble and Little China, including the bullet 'pinging' sounds 😂😂

No, rambo was the best.
@@Lalamove9850how is he better than Commando
@@luyolomenziwa2112 rambo is more realistic😅

well said, arnold in his element, great cinema action
hell yeah - all these 80s action movies were great - rambo, delta force, etc
All the bad guys slights must have been off.

Arnold should've won the Oscar for this scene alone. My boy got robbed!
@FagberDeschain Is that a joke?
Oscar is now a joke sadly. Arnold doesn't need an Oscar to prove him the best actor, Arnold is already a legend
@@deensaid7762 Arnold has become a joke too, unfortunately. His career is over at this point.
@@2H2521dude still makes more money than any of us can dream of.
Your boy "got robbed"!? Dare I ask what that means!?
Arnold unlocked the infinite ammo ability.
and aim bot
I wonder if anyone has actually taken the time to count the total number of rounds that he fired with one weapon and throughout the battle!
And invincibility
Terminator mode.
As if reload scenes were most important
"Commando" is really a masterpiece.
No thinking, it´s only entertaining.
Finally. Someone who sees what I see
It’s a masterpiece of what it’s trying to do. It’s completely unpretentious entertainment and it excels at being just that.

It's so ridiculous it's entertaining. Throw in some one liners and you have an action star.
This was unfair. Those guys had no idea it was The Terminator attacking 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
GOOD ONE!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also Dutch in his early years prior of encountering the first Predator 😅😅
.....the next time he'll BE BACK and they'll know it's the Terminator😅😅😅

Even with all the modern technologies and CGI this is still one of the best action scenes in history of cinema.
No doubt ❤
CGI ruined action movies.
@@Kruentubecause nobody wants to risk an actor's life for something called "action movies", insurance is expensive nowadays you know? 😅😅
@@deensaid7762The action was a lot better. I remember in George of the Jungle the stuntman actually vine swings into real trees and got hurt doing it.

I love the never ending M-60 belt. It just keeps going and going and going.
It just seems to grow ever longer
The AKM in the beginning might be more ridiculous
I don't know what bout that M16? Early models only had 16 round magazines, slightly later had 21!
It looks better if it's not realistic. If people wanna see realism, they should watch Mars Attacks instead.
😂😂
I love how Arny's shotgun sounds like a damned howitzer going off LOL!
0:15 I love how he can stand in one spot and kill every moving thing but the 30 bad guys can’t hit someone sitting still, good lord! 😂😂😂
Third world soldiers can't hit anything!😂
Me too
1% of his body was covered by that tree. More than enough cover!
Stormtroopers of Central America.
@@stephenc4790 haha
The realistic physics of the grenade explosions throwing men into the air is incredible.
u can literally see the trampoline that makes the men fly in the air lolol
@@b0zay*You !!!
Yes sir those are nuclear grenades
Arnold used some cheat codes to lower gravity value.
Especially the guy who jumps before the grenade even explodes :-))
The henchmen in this movie make Stormtroopers look like expert marksmen. 😂
I know Arnold handling that M60 was badass, but I love it when he fires an M16, on full auto, one handed 5:35
💪
Of course. He's John Matrix 👍🙂
0:31 This film is so frivolous that no one even tried to hide the springboards that threw the guys up when the grenade exploded.
لقد رأيت المنصة 😁😁😁✌👍👍👍👍
To be honest, it's quite hard to spot it. I only noticed because I was wondering how those bad guys were able to jump that high. If I didn't replay that part, I would remain oblivious.

WOW! I've seen this movie like 100 times and I had never noticed that!! It's hilarious!! Thanks for pointing it out.
Because you’re so focused on the explosion and the fact that the camera quickly tilts up along with the quick cut, it’s easy to miss on a first time viewing. I think the very static dummies outside the barracks when they explode are _much_ more egregious 🤣
The immutable law of the genre: as soon as the main superhero is bare to the waist, he immediately becomes bulletproof.
He went full Contra mode.
AKA plot armour
and the 100 people shooting at him suddenly can't hit anything

One guy even loses an arm. Even if he survives, he will never be the same.
The saw blade deaths were on a whole other level! BADASS and Clever Stuff. Matrix was highly resourceful turning to the garden equipment.
The Central American scruffy unshaven soldiers are paid a few bucks, and all the rice and beans and pupusas they can eat.
@@babymammoth34 Yeah... he had maybe 30 seconds to decide what to do...before they ambushed the shed.

I used to rewind that part as a kid all the time lol.
One of the best films of all time
Playing Doom with cheat codes be like...
More like Duke Nukem 3D.

I love how the grenade thrown at him gives him extra 10 seconds window of escape whereas the one he throws at them explodes on impact!😂😂

@@bizzyizzy9526 HEY! Don't say that. I used to love both Sylvester and Arnold's movies back then I was little. Show some respect.

@deensaid7762 hey Matrix took quite a lot of men here with just gardening tools
One of the best documentaries I've seen
How can you not LOVE Arnold! Such a badass! I like how he single-handedly took out the entire battalion! Not even Rambo was on that scale.
Do not compare them rambo is more realistic than arnold the goat😂
Commando is far better
One of the funniest films ever made.
Lmao 😂😂
Film? I thought this was a documentary
You want funny? Go watch films like The Evil Dead or Sharknado 🤣🤣🤣
Call of Arnolduty.
.....
Congratulations, u got best comments
Peak entertainment in the 80s and 90s, bruh. This guy on your team means the baddies are toast, every time.
Never forget the most important rule of being an 80's action movie disposable henchman: shoot to miss!
Here's the kick. They were shooting blanks, but were too dumb to realize it! Thus, the 80s
Gotta protect the main character, or the movie's end 😅😅😅

I watched it in 1986 in China, when cassette was smuggled into there and only played underground. The title is "The last fight"😂
What did people in China think of the movie at the time?
2:25
This scene needs some one-liners.
“RAKE it in.”
“Just a little off the top.”
“I SAW you coming.”
“I must AXE you something.”
“Now you are DISARMED.”
nice
_Stick around_
😅😁🤣😆😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
0:57-1:10 I love how he switched between 3 different weapons in the span of 13 seconds.😄
Great live action comic book, starring Arnold and the amazing endless ammo belt, co-starring the can't hit the side of a barn bad guys. Lots of fun. 😁
Commando and Rambo are basically the inspiration for the game *Contra* on the NES.
The two main characters (player 1 and player 2) are John Rambo and John Matrix.
Of course, the NES couldn't call them that, but the likeness is definitely there.
Blue one was Bill Rizer Inspiration of Arnold
Red one was Lance Bean Inspiration of Sylvester
This film was awesome and one's of best action movies in the 80's . It was crazy and most explosive ending in this film😊🎉
Lotta widows created that fine afternoon
The era when masculinity was still respected and celebrated.
And still is no matter what woke losers say.
Hmmm! That's a big one. ❤
God Mode on + unlimited ammo on
_How do you turn this on?_
Its not that they can't aim, it's that his sheer manliness is so powerful it repels bullets.
I'd hate to be the home insurance agent who has to come out the next day and add up all the damage.
Arnold the best 😀
Amazing !!! So realistic !!!!
So realistic even his ammo never runs out 😅😅
Arnold is a legend!
This is still the greatest documentary ever made
The only film with the balls to show combat as it truly is. Awesome.
Arnold films were class.
Running Man, Total Recall, Terminator and Predator are still classics (last two are action movie Mount Rushmore).
5:00 guy didn’t stand a chance 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that Steyr AUG.
Me too. I first saw the AUG I’m Die Hard.
unlimited ammo and god mode was free in the 80s. now you gotta pay a subscription fee for it.
The good old 80's. When action movies could be comedies at the same time. Sometimes action movies could be horror movies at the same time.
Diese Szene finde ich absolut obergeil.👍😄📺
Love how the henchmen all look literally the same like NPCs in a video game.
いつ見てもここのシーンが好き😊
Bullets: Don't mess with Arnold, just leave him alone!!!
3:31 - Check out the second guy on the roof that throws himself off acting like he’s been hit 😂😂😂😂
I think he’s actually trying to save his buddy
Hope Commando gets to be in the new MK game :p
He can destroy outworld in ways you wont believe 😅
This action sequence doesn't make any sense and we love it!
Arnold movies are the best of cinema 🎥 he deserves several OSCARS.🏅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Never trust someone who doesn’t get PUMPED-AF during this scene!

Attacking Arnold with an AUG is like "See, what I brought you from home..." 😂
