I love the 80s best movies ever even the music was brilliant a team air wolf Rambo aliens terminator best star wars movie empire Strick's back back to the future 48 hours feel sorry for the kids growing up now
Im the same in the fact that films like Commando take me right back to my childhood! My Grandad used to take me to car boot sales when I was a kid and I'd always buy the VHS's of the classic action films! Commando, Predator, Total Recall, Universal Soldier and The Terminator! Well i had to get my Grandad to buy me them cause the were all 18s but he didn't really care about that 😂 Good times, thanks gents
I saw that movie in the theater when I was 14 years old; I knew it was cheesy even at that age but it was fun. I still catch it to this day whenever i see it on cable. It's an entertaining, fun watch. No one can do a movie like that now because so few movies are any fun anymore.
I was waiting for them to mention that in this. First time I saw this that scene made me smile, and I wore that smile the rest of the flick. This movie kicks ass
Give credit to Sylvester Stallone, because without him, Arnie wouldn't have been pushed to this heights of action perfection. They really had the most legendary battle in cinema landing hit after hit. Commando is one of my all time films of any time.
Still say Stallone's Cobra is manliest. At one point in Commando the lead female character says "I can't believe this macho bullshit". Cobra in the other hand is totally unapologetic lol
Drinker is absolutley on fire. Stumbled upon the wraith of Khan review and then undiscovered country, he and mauler talking terminator films was heaven. And it just keeps.getting better. Let off some steam Bennet
arnold was always the best. i was the guy that had parents that didn't give a shit so all badass 80s and early 90s movies were at my house. robocop, terminator, predator 1 and 2, aliens, die hard, total recall commando...you name it i had it. my friends and i liked to play war stuff in my backyard and woods and we were all arnold fans so we did the only sensible thing...we all played as a different arnold. one guy was john matrix, one guy was dutch, one guy was harry tasker, one was the t-800....we were like an unstoppable multiverse force....ah the days of my youth...
I saw Commando when I was 6 or 7, can`t remember exactly. My dad had a big VHS collection of then new american movies (it was 1990s Russia, the borders were open and all these great movies flooded the country), so I used to watch Rambo, Rocky, Terminator, Predator and Boodsport on repeat. The dubs were terrible - everyone voiced by 1 guy - but the movies were so great that it didn`t matter. The joy with which you guys talked about the movie brought me right back into those times, thank you!
All the critics of Commando: "This film is toxic/outdated/rubbish/violent/etc..." Every Commando fan: *puts on best Arnie accent* WRONG. - Cue gun blast -
Remember reading that Arnold actually carried that Tree Log at the start of the film with the chain saw. They did apply a handle for better grip, but still impressive! these days it would of been CGI.
2:18:16 from here the talk about real masculinity and how it's being oppressed and the negative impacts of family and suppression have on people really hit me and made me feel. I lost my father when I was young, thankfully even from a young age he gave me the well rounded self improvement mindset to value all I have a work towards what I want in life, I know I won't get a reply from you, the amazing drinker, but you're an inspiration to me with your videos and novels, thank you
Fuck it, I don't really trust 2020 filmmakers doing cheesy balls to the wall action movies without doing self-awarene winks to the audiencebevery 5 minutes, like Expendables 2 does. The sensibilities just aren't what they were in the 80's, and not even The Rock has the kind of presence peak Arnold had. There are good action movies now, they're just different, more slick, and that's fine.
Amen brother.Just do what I do if you want - give up on modern popular culture.Mad Max,Predator,Alien/Aliens,First Blood,Big Trouble in Little China,countless 80’s schlock..Lots to keep you entertained,even if you’ve seen them countless times👍🏻
Best actor for stunts today.... Tom Cruise. Say what you want about him, but watching the mission imposs films he is very impressive in his own stunts.
Dude, I haven't laughed this hard in so long. I know this movie almost line by line and fucking shit that was a hilarious commentary. Felt like I was watching the movie with couple friends. Great stream.
Amazing stream. Amazing film. I love how Drinker's drinking buddy is laughing his ass off, it's just as entertaining to listen to as to when they talk about the over the top ridiculousness of the film.
How did I miss this. 4+ hours of Drinker and HeevsBabyFace cracking on about the most over the top 80's action movie, with Arnold!!!! Settling back with a bit of liquid refreshment and enjoy. Oh and 80's cars were shit. Most memorable bit for me was the way Arnold was able to just shrug off shrapnel by tensing his muscles. What a stud. Conan the Commando.
This movie had the absolute best kill lines, and there was at least one for pretty much every dead bad guy. Matrix: "Remember Sully when I promised to kill you last?" Sully: "Yeah, Matrix, you did!" Matrix: "I lied." Sully: "Aaaaaaah..." **gets dropped off of cliff** Cindy: "What'd you do with Sully?" Matrix: "I let him go."
I never laughed so hard in my life when I saw Arnold rip a fucking steel pipe off the wall and throw it like a spear and skewer Bennett with it, and of course we can’t forget “Let off some steam Bennett” right after that, 80s gold right there
Drinker and Az collabs need to be a more regular thing. These two are great together, the funniest stream I’ve listen to in a long while. Not even half way through and I had to watch Commando again. The most unrealistic thing about the entire movie, is that an ex U.S. Army special forces soldier doesn’t have a gun in their home. I know those guys, they’ve got guns in every nook and cranny lmao.
My dad was either the world's best dad, or the worst. I was born in 78, so raised in the 80s. Growing up, my dad took me to the movies on the weekends. We saw all the latest Arnold, Stallone, and 80s action movies upon release. He always told my mom he was taking me to see the latest kids movie, and would go over the basic plot of the kids movie (read from the paper of course) with me on the way home so I knew what to say to her if she asked. What say you gents?
I'm watching it again for the first time in literally decades. The gratuitous use of Arnold's body parts and general physique to fill the screen are some of the most brilliant comedy I've ever seen! Looking at it with current eyes vs the young teenager enthralled with all things manly and military is actually better. I can now appreciate things about this movie overall, that I could never have even noticed so many years ago! Pure brilliance!
As a child in the 80s I loved this film and thought it was a bit silly and pushed the bounds of realism As a man in his 40s I now.understand this is the most realistic and truthful scripts in the last 50 years
RollingThunder69 without checking , I’m guessing Dick Miller? He was a National Treasure, in so many films (eg garbage man in The Burbs with Robert Picardo)
Even though I was late to the party when it comes to Commando (I've watched it for the first time when I was about 22-24), it's easily in my top 10 favourite movies ever. Watch it at least once a year. I think it's time to let off some steam and watch it again this weekend.
As a former Marine, I always laugh hard at how grenades blow up buildings with the big ass fireballs and shit in the movies Its definitely not like that in real life
Thank you for your service, Cousin Eddie. I don't think anyone takes the physics in these kinds of movies seriously. At least I never did. I remember seeing this movie in college with friends and us all joking about how ridiculous it was, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
Dude u guys left out one of the best lines.....when he is about to fight bill dukes character bill duke says something like "u just pissed off the wrong green beret" and Arnold says "I eat green berets for breakfast" lmao. So great!
That whole fight is effing bad ass: Cooke "You scared, motherfuc*a? Well, you should be, because this Green Beret is going to kick your ass!" Matrix: "I EAT Green Berets for BREAKFAST...and, right, now I'm very hungry!" Cindy: "I can't believe this macho bull**hit! These guys eat too much red meat!" Two muscle rippled guys wrecking a motel room and the girl - wisely - decides not to interfere.
Watched it today after listening to this live last night. Must be 20 odd years since I last watched it. Bloody awful film.The script is awful, the acting is pretty awful, it’s badly made, the fight scenes are terrible. Bloody loved every minute of it.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁Why did I enjoy it so much?Mostly because it’s not trying to be something it’s not, it’s an unapologetic 80s naff action film. It delivers exactly what you want, silly one liners, big explosions and Arnie killing loads of bad guys without once ever actually aiming at anyone properly, I think the main reason I still like it so much is it’s a big middle finger up at any sort of PC culture, it’s even more relevant now after everything that has gone on in the last few years.
Wish I'd seen this live. When us (my mates and I) 40 year olds still only talk and text message in Arnie, Stallone and RoboCop lines you know we're fans. The film's of this era are just pure fun!
My mom was hardcore Christian Conservative and thought pokemon was demonic yet terminator 2, matrix, predator, aliens and many others slipped through the cracks 😂😂
One of my all time favourite movies. I saw it for the first time while in South Africa as a kid. My Aunt lives out there and my Parents used to visit a bit. I watched it so much I knew every line pretty much off heart. To the point that even now (Many, many years later!). I was correcting you and Az on some of your quotes :D It was an absolute pleasure listening to you both for the full time. Now I'm going back to watch your Terminator video :D Please keep doing these :D
Gentlemen, it may have been over a year since you've aired this episode. Nonetheless, thank you for the entertainment and company today while traveling on the left lane on the Autobahn.
One time some friends of mine and I played a drinking game where we'd take a shot every time Arnie had a one-liner. We got soooo hammered, I believe it was 13 shots in an hour and a half. Worth it!
This is probably one of my favorite videos from the Critical Drinker. It just seem like he and Az are really enjoying themselves here. I wish we could get more content like this instead of the more negative stuff we see these days. It’s the kind of content I wish I could make, just taking about stuff i enjoyed with my friend.
Same my first video with critical drinker, i found him through Az.. still best to this day, no comments about negative current days, just a good times and laughs
Not as far as I know. In his autobiography he mentions few times, that when he was starting his movie career he had to LOSE quite a few kilo, because he was too big for movies. Those who hired him obviously wanted him mainly for his physique, but even for them his prime form was too much, he would be too big on camera. Peak Arnie was even bigger :)
@@beardedbjorn5520 He wasn't that lean. His BF was around 10.5%. He was under 105 kgs, also. Olympia shape for him was 102 kgs and some 8% BF in 1980. 1975 Olympia he was over 107 kgs around 8 to 9% BF. For a 1.87m tall guy 40 years ago, classic, well proportioned but massive.
Continuity mistake apart from Porsche. Arnold gears up, puts his vest on and then applies tiger stripes. But when he takes his vest off he has stripes all over his body even the bits covered by the vest.
Best movie of all time. Even if it was a short with just Arnold throwing the lead pipe and his one-liner it would still be the most epic action movie of all time.
Drinker, babyface, your laughter in this conversation is contagious & I've never seen this Arnie classic slipped through the cracks of my Arnie childhood, working on it!
Fantastic livestream of one of my favourite 80's films. It's both hilarious and has awesome action scenes. One of my favourite parts is at the beginning, where he goes to access his armoury and types in its epic lock code: 13. I grew up watching The Prisoner on reruns in the 90's with my mum and dad and it has always stuck with me. That giant white ball is unforgettable!
In the next motel room, with the woman being behind the man and having a video camera.......they were into some freaky $hit. I'm sure they went back to it after, Matrix and Cindy left (just ignore the dead body, broken door and bullet holes).
I remember in the year 1995 I was 7-8 years old (I don't remember exactly) and I somehow came across a VHS tape on which there were 2 films Commando and Cobra-this tape I rubbed to holes, was almost my favorite And phrases like "LET OFF SOME STEAM, BENNETT" and "You're a disease and I'm the cure" have stayed with me forever Hello from Russia
why oh why did you do this NOW, the week after EFAP 100. There is literally not enough hours to listen to this and missed EFAP pieces, extras and this in a week
One of the best streams and of one of the best action movies ever! You guys play off each other extremely well. Very entertaining. I laughed the whole time. Love you guys, thanks for the stream!! 🍻🍻🍻
I was a little girl in 80s/ beginning of 90's and yes, I loved all films with Arnold. It wasn't even a crush, or wanting to be like him. It was just awe.
The stewardess is played by non other than Chelsea Field - who was Bruce Willis's wife in the mighty Last Boyscout - another OTT Joel Silver production worth some Commando love 🤟
My number 1 "Movie so bad that is actually good". I just love this movie. Every time i see it, my mind try to convince me that it is a genious parody of the 80s action genre, but it is not. It is what it is. A movie sincere with what it is.
I went for a walk with this video playing I was crying with laughter about 3 times in front of strangers mostly about Bennet banter and the shed scene thanks guys :D
How did i miss this 2 years ago? luckily i got to see this in the theatre, my dad had a love hate relationship with Arnie but knew i loved his flicks and would take me to every one that came out. My dad’s side is Austrian so Arnie was a bit embarrassing to them but we all watched his movies. I remember my dad shaking his head laughing during and after seeing Commando. The thing that cracks me up is from the jump Matrix does not give a fuck about what anyone has to say and is only driven to get his daughter back snd kills anyone in his way……….i have to say that as a kid from the 80s Harrison Ford, Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood were my film heroes. Stallone and Schwarzenegger were great and you knew what their flicks were going to be but i can’t say that i was in awe of them. Great flick, cheers.
I am surprised that the Drinker did not see the film in its entirety. Here in Brazil it passed without any cut. In other words, the scene in the shed was not cut and I was able to appreciate Arnold cutting heads in my childhood.
What a fun film and it's not just for men, but for women too. I first saw this a kiddie, I think my second 18/R-rated film after Running Man. I love Schwarzenegger as a kid, the silly one liners, awesome fight scenes (if a little over the top), classic 80s violence and nudity, etc. Years later at uni, I was intrigued to learn how many women liked this film. There is an audience out there for women who like beefcake men playing the fantasy of the total kick-ass father. From an evolutionary standpoint I can see why, so I really hope the current trend of men playing sissy characters because there's a woman "strong" in a film, just runs its course and dies away. We had great female characters in the 80's, even in Schwarzenegger films (I'm looking at the two ladies in Total Recall, damn!). Tough, bad-ass and sexy ladies, a great fantasy for men and women. Thanks for covering this, Drinker. I look forward to your next reminiscence.
Commando was the first movie I saw where I had the theater to myself. I went to college in a small midwest town that had a one-screen movie theater. They'd get movies about a month after they hit the big cities. On Tuesdays, they had $1 movie nights. So I went on Tuesday night. It was awesome, altho I felt a bit guilty making the theater staff stick around all night because one guy spent a buck.

Even the worst movies in the 80's action genre were made with more sincerity than most of the movies today. Thanks for another great stream Drinker

It took me a long time to understand what a weirdo like David Foster Wallace meant when he said "Irony is ruining our culture."
the picture of Matrix and his daughter feeding the deer from the opening credits has been part of my computer's rotating desktop wallpaper for years.
I was waiting for them to mention that in this. First time I saw this that scene made me smile, and I wore that smile the rest of the flick. This movie kicks ass
I searched for years for buttons underneath the glass counters at outdoor stores to see if there was a hidden gun room.
Give credit to Sylvester Stallone, because without him, Arnie wouldn't have been pushed to this heights of action perfection. They really had the most legendary battle in cinema landing hit after hit. Commando is one of my all time films of any time.
I didn't know he was in Death Wish.
It's his first role listed on imdb.
Cobra, man. That movie's peak 80's Stallone. Always a pleasure to watch when it pops up on the tv.
@@teddyharvester "crimes a disease"

Commando, a film made by men FOR men. One of the best action movies ever made.
Also, fathers.

Still say Stallone's Cobra is manliest. At one point in Commando the lead female character says "I can't believe this macho bullshit". Cobra in the other hand is totally unapologetic lol
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 I would love to see the original idea of Cobra. Like it actually explains some things about the cult.

One of the best movie themes ever, those steel drums man.
They need to bring steel drums back. And sax solos...
Definitely made Commando and 48 hours that much more cool...
Yes! But nothing beats Paul Hertzog soundtracks for those Van Damme movies
In Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones needed an inflatable raft for a safe landing after jumping out of the plane.
For John Matrix, "Nah, I'll be fine."
I saw Commando when I was 6 or 7, can`t remember exactly. My dad had a big VHS collection of then new american movies (it was 1990s Russia, the borders were open and all these great movies flooded the country), so I used to watch Rambo, Rocky, Terminator, Predator and Boodsport on repeat.

The joy with which you guys talked about the movie brought me right back into those times, thank you!
That is the story of my childhood. It feels like ALL movies were voiced by the same guy. From Commando to Lion King.
I think it really speaks to the entertainment value when a single person dubbing a video can not deter someone from enjoying them on repeat.
This was an absolute delight to listen to. Thank you, guys.
Such a great stream
All the critics of Commando: "This film is toxic/outdated/rubbish/violent/etc..."
Every Commando fan: *puts on best Arnie accent* WRONG. - Cue gun blast -
Right in their fuckin brainpan...
Nothing beats the 80's and 90's Action. Was a Great movie, had some of Arnies best one liners. haha

Thats a cool connection actually
Please follow that up with a cool story or something. Otherwise who cares
AJ Aidañ damn.... bet he met Tom cruise
Commando is one of my favorite movies and y'all recapping it was an incredibly entertaining listen. Appreciate you both.
Arnie reached black belt standard with the stunt co ordinator for this movie. Beast.
Commando is the Gold Standard. Without a doubt, the 80s was the Golden Age of pop culture.
It’s an absolute crime we don’t get films like Commando anymore, awesome stream!
We will again, once the SJW's slither back under their rocks..
Hollyweird/Netfux and the like are on that Paedophilic Child exploitation bandwagon with "Cuties".
Taken is basically modern day Commando

Commando is the purest expression of the 80s action movie.
Gotta love a commentary for a film so fun that the commentary is almost 3 times as long as the film itself.
"Bennett's at his limit break"
I never would have thought Drinker would pull from Final Fantasy, nice job.
When Dutch goes to his gun shed at the beginning of the film I was disappointed he didn't grab Old Painless.
Or the Plasma rifle with a 40 watt capacitor.

They have different effects when Arnold throws them.
Or when he would come out of cover with the pig and just unloading on all of those pissant soldiers...
That and how people fly backwards when a bullet hits them. And glad you made it home, brother.
Bad Guy: "No No No.. wait! You said that you wouldn't kill me if I helped you"
Arnold: "I lied"
~ Best Line Ever IMO
No. I think the line was "You promised to kill me last". Matrix: "I LIED". And yea the funniest and best line
It's
"Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?"
"That's right, Matrix, you did!"
"I lied."
Followed by the classic I let him go...
This was the most fun I have had in a long time. Took me way back. I felt all those same feelings as a kid from the 80s.

Cindy: "I can't believe this macho bull**hit! These guys eat too much red meat!"
Two muscle rippled guys wrecking a motel room and the girl - wisely - decides not to interfere.
"This green baret is about to kick that big ass".
Thanks Drinker and Az, I just re-watched this movie today and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Commando doesn't have a plot so much as it is just a series of action setpieces.
And it's glorious.
The shed scene was mostly cut for the theatrical version. The crazy cartoon violence was restored/extended in the dvd and bluray directors cut.
An hour in and I'm loving this. Great memories.
Watched it today after listening to this live last night. Must be 20 odd years since I last watched it. Bloody awful film.The script is awful, the acting is pretty awful, it’s badly made, the fight scenes are terrible. Bloody loved every minute of it.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁Why did I enjoy it so much?Mostly because it’s not trying to be something it’s not, it’s an unapologetic 80s naff action film. It delivers exactly what you want, silly one liners, big explosions and Arnie killing loads of bad guys without once ever actually aiming at anyone properly, I think the main reason I still like it so much is it’s a big middle finger up at any sort of PC culture, it’s even more relevant now after everything that has gone on in the last few years.
That last fight with Bennett was awesome. Matrix hit him with so many lefts, he was begging for a right (nod to another 85 action movie).
Good evening Drinker, 4.5Hrs of awesomeness - ah cannae wait! 😁
Wish I'd seen this live. When us (my mates and I) 40 year olds still only talk and text message in Arnie, Stallone and RoboCop lines you know we're fans.
The film's of this era are just pure fun!
As soon as I saw Commando I Knew this podcast would be ridiculously awesome! Just like the movie
Listening to this stream yesterday and I went straight home afterwork and had to watch Commando! Brilliant
My Parents were one of those, as long as it kept me and my brother quiet on a Friday night they didn't care what type of film it was.
My parents were the same
My mom was hardcore Christian Conservative and thought pokemon was demonic yet terminator 2, matrix, predator, aliens and many others slipped through the cracks 😂😂
One of my all time favourite movies. I saw it for the first time while in South Africa as a kid. My Aunt lives out there and my Parents used to visit a bit. I watched it so much I knew every line pretty much off heart. To the point that even now (Many, many years later!). I was correcting you and Az on some of your quotes :D
It was an absolute pleasure listening to you both for the full time.
Now I'm going back to watch your Terminator video :D
Please keep doing these :D
Gentlemen, it may have been over a year since you've aired this episode. Nonetheless, thank you for the entertainment and company today while traveling on the left lane on the Autobahn.
Pissing myself laughing with this. Feels like I'm in a room with my mates talking about the shit that really matters. Thanks guys.
One time some friends of mine and I played a drinking game where we'd take a shot every time Arnie had a one-liner. We got soooo hammered, I believe it was 13 shots in an hour and a half. Worth it!
This is probably one of my favorite videos from the Critical Drinker. It just seem like he and Az are really enjoying themselves here. I wish we could get more content like this instead of the more negative stuff we see these days. It’s the kind of content I wish I could make, just taking about stuff i enjoyed with my friend.
Same my first video with critical drinker, i found him through Az.. still best to this day, no comments about negative current days, just a good times and laughs
This was Arnie when he was still peak Olympus body
Not as far as I know. In his autobiography he mentions few times, that when he was starting his movie career he had to LOSE quite a few kilo, because he was too big for movies. Those who hired him obviously wanted him mainly for his physique, but even for them his prime form was too much, he would be too big on camera.
Peak Arnie was even bigger :)
@@kalash_nikov what a fuckin legend
He got quite lean for this movie. He must have cut so hard for this.
@@beardedbjorn5520
He wasn't that lean. His BF was around 10.5%. He was under 105 kgs, also.
Olympia shape for him was 102 kgs and some 8% BF in 1980.
1975 Olympia he was over 107 kgs around 8 to 9% BF.
For a 1.87m tall guy 40 years ago, classic, well proportioned but massive.
Haha! I haven't watched this since the early 90s. Now I want to rewatch it after listening to you both.
2 guys talk for hours about what's great about COMMANDO .... literally everything
Watched this, then went to watch Commando again.
the 80s was the best time to grow up with films.
I love how drinker keeps bringing back to all those amazing movies. I find myself constantly having to get them and give them another watch :)).
Continuity mistake apart from Porsche. Arnold gears up, puts his vest on and then applies tiger stripes. But when he takes his vest off he has stripes all over his body even the bits covered by the vest.
He knew eventually that bad boy was coming off..
Best movie of all time. Even if it was a short with just Arnold throwing the lead pipe and his one-liner it would still be the most epic action movie of all time.
This is hands down, one of my favorite videos! A big thank you to two of my favorite TH-camrs.
Bill Paxton is a Legend!
Drinker, babyface, your laughter in this conversation is contagious & I've never seen this Arnie classic slipped through the cracks of my Arnie childhood, working on it!
Fantastic livestream of one of my favourite 80's films. It's both hilarious and has awesome action scenes.
One of my favourite parts is at the beginning, where he goes to access his armoury and types in its epic lock code: 13.
I grew up watching The Prisoner on reruns in the 90's with my mum and dad and it has always stuck with me. That giant white ball is unforgettable!
Commando was one of the movie I couldn't stop watching as a kid. What a throwback.
In the next motel room, with the woman being behind the man and having a video camera.......they were into some freaky $hit. I'm sure they went back to it after, Matrix and Cindy left (just ignore the dead body, broken door and bullet holes).
The watch with the incredibly loud countdown that is only audible when it's being looked at always made me laugh, if Matrix was here he'd laugh too.
Lololol
Every man should see Commando as a child - agreed!
I remember in the year 1995 I was 7-8 years old (I don't remember exactly) and I somehow came across a VHS tape on which there were 2 films
Commando and Cobra-this tape I rubbed to holes, was almost my favorite
And phrases like "LET OFF SOME STEAM, BENNETT" and "You're a disease and I'm the cure" have stayed with me forever
Hello from Russia
Professional wrestlers called that move the 'Roar Spot', which quite fits Arnie in this movie.
Wow 2 years ago I watched this live. So much had changed in my life since then. But I'm here again to enjoy this stream lmao.
Vernon Wells was also in Weird Science. I understand he was not the original actor to play in Bennett in Commando hence the awkward costume fit.
I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes I'm gonna shoot you between the balls🤣🤣🤣led owf sum steem bennet
caught most of this live .. sounded like you guys had a lot of fun .. AZDAHAHAHA!
I believe the ending mansion is the same one from the ending of Beverly Hills Cop.
It's the typical bad guy columbian villa in 80s, God I miss old action films.
why oh why did you do this NOW, the week after EFAP 100. There is literally not enough hours to listen to this and missed EFAP pieces, extras and this in a week
Yeah, so unfair. :)
the more the merrier!
One of the best streams and of one of the best action movies ever! You guys play off each other extremely well. Very entertaining. I laughed the whole time. Love you guys, thanks for the stream!! 🍻🍻🍻
Sylvester Stallone movie cobra would be cool to get a review on.
I was a little girl in 80s/ beginning of 90's and yes, I loved all films with Arnold. It wasn't even a crush, or wanting to be like him. It was just awe.
The stewardess is played by non other than Chelsea Field - who was Bruce Willis's wife in the mighty Last Boyscout - another OTT Joel Silver production worth some Commando love 🤟
Bennet is played by Vernon Wells who was Wez in Mad Max 2 and spoofed the character in Weird Science.
My number 1 "Movie so bad that is actually good". I just love this movie. Every time i see it, my mind try to convince me that it is a genious parody of the 80s action genre, but it is not. It is what it is. A movie sincere with what it is.
What do you expect me to smell them?
Arnold: I did.
That's why u don't wear Axe body spray when on duty.
I went for a walk with this video playing I was crying with laughter about 3 times in front of strangers mostly about Bennet banter and the shed scene thanks guys :D
How did i miss this 2 years ago? luckily i got to see this in the theatre, my dad had a love hate relationship with Arnie but knew i loved his flicks and would take me to every one that came out. My dad’s side is Austrian so Arnie was a bit embarrassing to them but we all watched his movies. I remember my dad shaking his head laughing during and after seeing Commando. The thing that cracks me up is from the jump Matrix does not give a fuck about what anyone has to say and is only driven to get his daughter back snd kills anyone in his way……….i have to say that as a kid from the 80s Harrison Ford, Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood were my film heroes. Stallone and Schwarzenegger were great and you knew what their flicks were going to be but i can’t say that i was in awe of them. Great flick, cheers.
I am surprised that the Drinker did not see the film in its entirety. Here in Brazil it passed without any cut. In other words, the scene in the shed was not cut and I was able to appreciate Arnold cutting heads in my childhood.
Rae Dawn Chong was good in “Tales from the Darkside”. Her vignette with James Remar Lover’s Vow was the best
She was also good in "Quest for Fire".
What a fun film and it's not just for men, but for women too. I first saw this a kiddie, I think my second 18/R-rated film after Running Man. I love Schwarzenegger as a kid, the silly one liners, awesome fight scenes (if a little over the top), classic 80s violence and nudity, etc. Years later at uni, I was intrigued to learn how many women liked this film. There is an audience out there for women who like beefcake men playing the fantasy of the total kick-ass father. From an evolutionary standpoint I can see why, so I really hope the current trend of men playing sissy characters because there's a woman "strong" in a film, just runs its course and dies away.
We had great female characters in the 80's, even in Schwarzenegger films (I'm looking at the two ladies in Total Recall, damn!). Tough, bad-ass and sexy ladies, a great fantasy for men and women.
Thanks for covering this, Drinker. I look forward to your next reminiscence.
Sarah Conner... :)
@@bodieofci5418 Totally. Her and Ellen Ripley. My big sister's rold models, no joke.
@@solarsailer4166 i fancied the pants off of Linda Hamilton in the day.
Sharon Stone in Total Recall
@@rubix41 Oh my god, yes!
Missed this last night so it's time to catch up! 😉
Agreed mate! 👍
Great film, my mam let me watch all the best 80s action films
Commando was the first movie I saw where I had the theater to myself. I went to college in a small midwest town that had a one-screen movie theater. They'd get movies about a month after they hit the big cities. On Tuesdays, they had $1 movie nights. So I went on Tuesday night. It was awesome, altho I felt a bit guilty making the theater staff stick around all night because one guy spent a buck.
AZ and Drinker, the dream team!
Feeding the deer ice cream. So 80s ❤
Absolutely love these two guys!
One of the great action movies. Entertaining and fun, as well.
Rewatched Commando recently. It is gold!!!! Now I'm back here for the awesome chat.
