Thanks for celebrating all these movies, Razor. COMMANDO is still one of the best action movies ever made. I don't give a shit what anyone says, it's amazing and still just as fun to watch to this day. It never gets old.
Proud white Male Oh I dunno, if you lived in the 80's you'd have to wait for them to come out and pay for a full price cinema ticket. Today they're all available in bargain buckets for pocket change. Progress at least did somethinh right
“Where in nebulous fuck are these people coming from?” The programmers forgot to set a spawn limit. You just have to run past them. Not even coming back to the map from the other map turns it off. It’s insane.
@@mrscruffles801 I guess what ifs are sometimes better off NOT KNOWING in Schwarzenegger's case. No I do not wish Schwarzenegger died in the 90's, even if he is one of the BIGGEST Neo Con shitbirds who was about as close to the Bush's as he was his housekeeper, or our former, proxy Commander in Chief Sniffy Joe to a 12 year old girl. That would e evil, seriously.
"Let off some steam Bennett", after piercing the man with a hollow pipe that shoots out steam from some who-knows-what steam engine. Quite possibly, the cheesiest and the manliest one-liner in the whole history of cinema.
Some choice quotes that made me laugh so hard you could mistake it for an asthmatic fit to either look back on or look forward to for those of you like to read comments before watching the goddamn video for some reason: "Even his moustache is outta shape!" "So of course, the first time he gets 3 seconds alone with this walking pair of love handles..." "Jeff Loeb, for writing that line...I could actually fuck you."
I don't care how connected John Matrix is, he's going to prison for life for what he does in this film. Multiple assaults, murder, kidnapping, GTA, escaping from custody, destruction of private and public property, border jumping, plane theft, and flagrant use of _Rokit loncher!_ This movie is so bad, it's brilliant.
There was only one thing better than watching Arnie blast his way through the entire South American military on a grainy VHS copy .. and that was playing his avatar on the C64 action shoot em up, god I loved the 80s.
I don't know if you saw this, but when he goes to access his weapons safe which is "Password Protected", You do realise WHAT the unbreakable password is? 13
Commando is a loud, ridiculous, hyper violent, psychotic, over the top explosion of 80's action movie testosterone. And that's precisely why we love it.
It is a classic no the classic 80's action movie. A plot as non-existent as a politician integrity, so much macho that the only wat to kill it is to chain it to a great white covered in dynamite and drop it into a volcano and more classic one liners than Groucho Marx. Watching this and Die Hard back to back would give a bronze statue wood. Razorfist keep up the great work.
The movie explains why Matrix's former team members were being killed off. They were being killed off by the former dictator of Valverde whom Matrix's team deposed. And they faked Bennet's death, so he could work for the dictator and get back at Matrix. He hated Matrix because Matrix kicked him out of the unit.

Nah... The reason Matrix threw Bennett out of his unit was because Bennett finally came out of the closet.
Hey Rageaholic, thanks to you I got around watching this movie and it was the most fun time I had in a very long time. Absolute 80s Carnage towards the end. Yeah yeah, being born in 90s does suck in a regard that you miss out on a lot of good movies until you get to them yourself.
And then 1000 years in the future, someone found Bennett's DNA, and cloned him into a time traveling mutant crime lord who would go on to fight the Power Rangers.
They STILL understood action movies in the past time of the 80s. They actually had actors who could pull off good action movies. Hail Arnold. Hail the 80s.
When I was a little girl my father took my sister and I to the cinema. I got to pick the film and much to my sister's chagrin I refused her pleas to watch The Incredible Journey of Natty Gan. We watched Commando instead. I've never allowed my sister to make important decisions again after that close call.
Just watched this movie and it's amazing, the script is very clever and well made, it's great fun and tight action, but it's really a product of its time. I'm thoroughly enjoying it whilst also really being amazed by the American style lack if realistic character moments. The women isn't constantly in total panic. She straight up becomes good sidekick, totally on board with using rocket launchers on cops and flying him to an island to murder everyone... and the girl after being kidnapped and seeing a guy get impaled is obviously not traumatised in any way... the whole movie is like that but it's still a masterpiece that knows exactly what it is.
To be fair to Bennet, for a tubby dude he faired better than any of us would against John “kill punch murder” Matrix. The fact that he managed to land some blows that actually hurt the dude is testament to his skills. Although it would’ve been better if Dolph Lungren was Bennet.......sorry I came a little from that thought.
When Arnold is stalking "doogie Howser" in the mall, hiding in plain sight, looking suspicious as hell that the mall cops have to arrest him for conspiracy of starting shit, that's my favorite scene
Gotta love the over-dramatized death throes :D Were the script-writers contractually obligated to put in the dad puns by "The Arnold?" He seems to get those lines in...most of the films in which I've seen him.
6:48 I think you meant Stephen de Souza. Sure, Jeph Loeb came up with the story and wrote the original script, but it was de Souza that retooled it into an Arnold movie.
7:11 Nice line, though I would went, "It didn't just jump the shark, it jumped into the water and fucked it so hard the front row was turned into a splash zone."

Well chosen my good man 👌👌
Seeing Razorfist without his aviators is just not right.
It's like seeing 80's action flick and no one dies.
so the A-Team version of Raz0rfist?
Kinda reminds me of Duke Nukem before he started rocking his shades.
You got to love Arnold's one liners.
One line at a time.
Let off some steam, Bennett!
INDEED
You son of a bitch
Yeah love his films
"I let him go..."
I cried man tears
I eat green berets for breakfast
You look like you do that a lot.

Didn’t he do the fantastic score for Wrath of Kahn?
@@brucechmiel7964 and Aliens, Glory, Backdraft, and Apollo 13.
He also did the score for Walter Hill's Red Heat, which also featured the Austrian Oak.
Commando is a work of art and you, sir, are a turbocharged motormouth metal machine of genius.
Turbo charged motor mouth, I like that. Oh so true!.
well said,
The manliest review of the manliest film in the history of manliness. The only way it could be manlier is if Manowar wrote the soundtrack.
So does Rob Halford, the Metal God. Your point?
No, there is yet a manlier movie than this one: Predator
Gregg Mather You manowar the race horse?
I was about to say Predator, the ultimate testosterone fueled alpha male movie.
Blood is upon my steel!
"He's dead tired" haha best laugh I had today.
Thanks for celebrating all these movies, Razor. COMMANDO is still one of the best action movies ever made. I don't give a shit what anyone says, it's amazing and still just as fun to watch to this day. It never gets old.
I miss movies like this.
Chris Marlborough Can't have that shit now. Everything's offensive and 'misogynistic'.
+Feminism is for nobody check out "shoot em up"
Sanny Folkesson seen it
I can't stop watching this video for just that reason. We also need directors like Andy Sidaris, because beaches & boobs.

Dude, you should do a Rageaholic Cinema of Last Action Hero. Damn, if that's not one of the most underrated movies in existence.
also its a parody and love letter too the action movies of the 80's
"Hello? I've just shot somebody, I did it on purpose."
Cliffhanger
Little know fact, Bennett is the red mohawked guy from Road Warrior.
Yes my dog of war but we go in my way
Keoni Anderson Losers, losers wait.
Man he really let himself go in this film.
Hardly.It's Vernon Wells FFS.
He also played Mr. Igo in Innerspace and a wasteland warrior who resembled Wez in Weird Science.
I've watched Commando more times than I care to mention. It is indeed an ode to manliness.
I love how they drop the base on Arnold's gunshots, like these aren't your little bang-bang minion rounds, these are Arnold Schwarzenegger bullets!
"How you let an oily Austrian Mountain sneak up behind you" and "Shaquonda Shoulder pads" - You've earned this sub my man!
Yes I’m pretty sure this review is also the reason I subbed. No regrets!
"Bennett! I thought you were-"
"Dead?"
"No, Canadian."
Nice NC reference. :)
I have watched this movie like 30 times or so.
It never gets old.
Arnold Schwarzenegger went from this to "screw your freedom." I guess he lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
Alas, he did indeed. 😔
They have a no responsibility do whatever we want club and we ain’t in it
Be nice if arnold died in the 90's so instead of being sick of his political posturing we'd view him as a great American icon who was taken too soon.

most coherent and convincing Commando review i've seen. Good job Razore!
"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired." GREATEST ARNIE LINE EVER.

The perfect example of a movie that knows exactly what it wants to be, pure mindless fun. Excellent Work Razorfist
This was, fuck that .. This IS a proper action movie compared to the sissy in spandex cgi shit we get today
I’m pretty sure that the FTA would have had a couple of questions for the owner of that military surplus store
I can remember when I was a kid going to the theatres and watch this timeless classic thanks for the cool review dude.Thank YOU

Hilarious review, as always, thanks so much for these! You forgot to mention Sully's magic self-repairing Porsche though.

Razorfist keep up the great work.
This has been my favorite movie for a while now. John Matrix is the most perfect action movie name ever. That mall scene is golden.
I discovered your channel because of battletech, but you are by far my favorite person on you tube! GOD BLESS YOU!
I genuinely and unapologetically love Jeph Loeb. He's written some of my favourite comics.
We used to watch this on Saturday nights when I was in the Army................your review is fucking hilarious and spot on!
I watched this movie well over 20 times, in three different languages. And I will watch it again, tonight.
So I can't be the only one to hypothesize that Commando and Predator exist in the same universe (the country of Valverde is in both movies).
Saw this 3 times in the cinema when I was 13 ..underage in the UK where the film was rated 18...my aunt snuck me in to see it!
I saw this movie in Spanish a few years ago. Holy fuck, I had no idea what I was missing.
Love your narration..... very fun. My favorite line was "Oh, sweet gentle Jesus!" when Arnold smashes down the Suplus City store front
The movie explains why Matrix's former team members were being killed off.
They were being killed off by the former dictator of Valverde whom Matrix's team deposed. And they faked Bennet's death, so he could work for the dictator and get back at Matrix. He hated Matrix because Matrix kicked him out of the unit.
Nah... The reason Matrix threw Bennett out of his unit was because Bennett finally came out of the closet.
Sounds legit...
Bennet was the most pathetic antagonist with maybe the exception of William Forsyth as Richie in Out For Justice.
He enjoyed killing a little too much. "You're training Matrix!"
@@rustykuntz94
Getting kicked out of the unit by Matrix is a really lame reason for becoming a traitor and murdering his teammates.
Hey Rageaholic, thanks to you I got around watching this movie and it was the most fun time I had in a very long time. Absolute 80s Carnage towards the end. Yeah yeah, being born in 90s does suck in a regard that you miss out on a lot of good movies until you get to them yourself.
SnakeEater7771 Man... my folks had a bit more leniency considering 80's movies. I grew up on them..
My all time favorite movie line: "I like you Sully, I'll kill you last." I use a variation of that at work all the time.
"He hits him so hard the fucking plane moves." That's great.
6:36
15:52 Thats how a man prunes flowers.
All through this virus bullshit I have been watching these movies with my dad then coming back and watching these reviews.
And then 1000 years in the future, someone found Bennett's DNA, and cloned him into a time traveling mutant crime lord who would go on to fight the Power Rangers.
He is Ransik?
I never knew
you should make the movie you have the basic plot covered :D
They STILL understood action movies in the past time of the 80s. They actually had actors who could pull off good action movies. Hail Arnold. Hail the 80s.
Nothing has made me want to watch this movie more after seeing this review, the funniest shit I've ever heard...!!!!
Im 15 and have probably seen this movie over 100 times. My favorite action movie of all time.
A man of culture.
That Owen Hart joke...goddamn.

Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers in commando with so much action and him gun welding
Just wanted to mention that the actor who played Sully was also the main antagonist in Warriors. And Rae Dawn Chong is Tommy Chong's daughter.
God damn this is an awesome review. You deserve MOAR VIEWS!!!
"Hits him so fucking hard the plane moves" has got me rollin.
First Arnold Schwarzenegger movie I've ever seen and it..was....FUCKING....AWESOME!!! BEST 80's movie in my opinion!
I've been spam watching the entire cinema playlist, the Owen Hart joke had me just choke up my drink, then a lung. Cheers Razor
One of the best videos yet. Keep up the the amazing work.
How did you meet mom? See she used a rocket launcher and sprung me out of jail
This is the best historical documentary filmed in real time that has ever existed!
Commando is one of my all time favorite movies :D
I laughed so hard... Never saw this until today. I've followed you for years!
Ahh the 80’s / 90’s action films. Where men were men and women were wet.
Awesome review! 😊
Suffering from a saviour case of hemroids is better than Nostalgia Critic.
Bennet played by Vernon Wells, was also in the film the Road Warrior.
...Ahhhhh, Those were the Days!! Keep up the good work Rage!

Yes non-descript evil bastard island!
Not since Seanbaby has verbal overkill made me laugh hard enough to weep!

Masterful Review. Your Channel is the best!
This video introduced me to WOLF and I've never looked back
You made those words dance, my friend! Very entertaining review. blee427 said it best, "Fist pump and salute to you good sir".
Bennet should’ve been played by Jesse Ventura. That would’ve been a kickass fight!
Poor Sully survives the drop from the cliff only to be killed by Brandon Lee years later.

Thank you for reminding me, the whole Heath Ledger (RIP) Joker bit about using a knife to see the person's reaction, Arnold did it decades earlier.

Well done sir, your electron focus and disregard has engaged and mesermised me, I await the future ...
Btw, I attempted to edit my comment and it was a fuckfest. I will support you sir as I respect your platform...
I laughed so hard when Arnold beat the crap out of the 20 mall security officers...best comedy scene of 1985!
