I love how in this movie Arnold acts like a video game protagonist... he just follows the big arrow to the next objective and fucks up anyone that gets in the way.
I assume that kind of unrealistic action fantasy genre being missing is why we have Taken, John Wick etc… there’s still a place for them as they are just a fun release!!
we don't really have movie stars like arnold , jean claud, and stalone. They make movies like this often they are just B movies that go straight to streaming because they have B list actors.
The best thing about Arnie's pure action films is that they never took themselves too seriously. Comedies like HOT SHOTS PART DEUX later went on to parody the type of over-the-top testosterone action flicks that Eighties cinema is known for, but Arnie's movies were already like self-aware parodies of themselves.
Arnolds movies were not parodies or comedies, they were dead serious each time, Predator is not a comedy any more than Conan the Barbarian or Commando. The comedy came when he did Twins. For action films having a sense of humor, that would've been kindergarten cop and Last action hero, and those were not comedies, they were action films with a sense of humor
@paulpolpiboon No one ever said they were parodies or comedies though, op specifically said Arnold’s movies never took themselves too seriously and that the movies that were essentially making fun of his films were the parodies because they didn’t understand then to begin with
Rae Dawn Chong (Tommy’s daughter) is fantastic in this. She stands in for the audience, commenting on all the ridiculous things the other characters do and say and keeping it from taking itself to seriously.
Arnold has Superman-level strength in this film. He rips through a chained fence with his bare hands. He throws a metal pipe THROUGH a person AND a metal steam tank at the same time. Me as a kid: "Seems plausible."
I LOVE that you guys appreciate movies like this. A lot of modern audiences would roll their eyes at such an absurd movie, not realising that it's not supposed to be taken seriously.
Movies back then were made to be enjoyed just like the music. Then the 90s hit and everyone wanted to be depressed all the time. Now everyone wants to be anxious and afraid of their own shadows. Good to see people that are still happy and can enjoy movies like this, instead of complaining about everything.
The ultimate 80's action movie. It just embraced the genre shamelessly and didn't pretend to be anything but that. No need for twists or turns, we know the good guy is gonna win and they go all in with that. He's unstoppable. Some incredible one-liners, an actually capable leading lady who's poc.. and she saves him instead of being just a damsel in distress. Plus some of the shots and editing.. I mean that gearing up scene is perfect and Arnold shooting an M60 without a shirt on and the shot focusing on his torso is just.. chef kiss stuff. It's a classic! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! There was supposed to be a remake of this movie in 2015 starring Sam Worthington, which gladly never happened, as Russia did their own version of the movie.
@@TBRSchmitt www.lamuscle.com/knowledge/men-photos/new-arnold-schwarzenegger Is this the new Arnold Schwarzenegger? Anton Ryskin has a crazy resemblance,,,,,, cloned ????
Oh thank God that never happened. Not a fan of Worthington much at all. I did like him in Hacksaw Ridge though but that was a just a great movie period.
Great reaction. Arnie mowing people down at the end is bloody hilarious. Looking forward to seeing both of your reactions to The Last Action Hero when you get around to it.

And I love your reactions are genuine and not trying to act up for an audience. Keep it up! (And yes it was Milano as his daughter and Cindy was played by Tommy Chong's daughter)
I've always wondered what happened to his wife. Then I soon learned in the Director's Cut, Matrix wife died giving birth to Jenny, leaving him a widower.
@@travisfoster1071 Yes it's available on DVD. I have the 2 disc collectors edition, with disc 1, the original cut and Director's Cut, while disc 2 has new cast and crew interviews.
The guy who plays the "main bad guy" actually has some great comic acting chops. He is Carla's sleazebag ex-husband on CHEERS, and he is hysterical in that role.
Also Bennett is played by the guy from Mad Max II: The Road Warrior, he's the motorcycle madman who's boyfriend (or whatever) gets the metal boomerang lodged in his skull o.O
@@scottknode898 Which incidentally, like Commando also co-stars David Patrick Kelly. Speaking of Kelly, The Warriors (1979) would make a good reaction video.
I liked it as a kid but then kind of never rewatched it in till much later as an adult. It went instantly from one of what I considered a lesser Arnold movie to my favorite one!
@@TBRSchmitt lol well thankfully it's not spoiling much, you'll get it though. XD that being said when you get to PA you should watch them all eventually, i enjoyed all of them up to the last one, Mission Moscow.
@@TBRSchmitt Since you liked the stewardess, you should see the brunette stewardess as Bruce Willis's wife in The Last Boy Scout since you're into these 80's type of movies, albeit the last boy scout came out in '91 I think.
Another film my dad took me to see when it was released - I was 13 years old and loved watching Arnold movies- I’m glad you two are finding these 80’s flicks. Very cool 👍
If you look close at the scene where Arnold tells Sully, "this is my weak arm", you could actually see the harness wire attached to Sully's ankle area while Arnold carried him.
Not to mention the rows of mannequin "mercenaries" that just tip over when the charges go off. When _Commando_ was released on VHS (or was it DVD? It's been so long) the image was improperly framed, so the cable running down into Sully's pant leg while Matrix was holding him over the drop was fully visible. I mean, REALLY visible. INSULTINGLY visible.
Not only that, but when he blows up the buildings, you can see the manakins tied to post that are supposed to be the soldiers. And by the way, claymores don't blow up buildings in that way. They're anti-personnel mines that throw out a bunch of large buckshot in one direction. But that's not really important in this movie. It's all about total destruction of the bad guys.
Sully, who Arnold promised to kill last, but dropped off the cliff, is the gray haired guy in charge of the clean up crews in John Wick. It took me SEVERAL times at watching that before I recognized him.
Really enjoying watching you guys react to Arnolds movies. I grew up watching Arnold and Sylvester Stallone rack up body counts in great fun popcorn movies.
@@mikeoxstiff When he screams, you can tell he's the one who is in the movie *The Warriors* clicking the bottles together and saying *Warriors, come out to play*
This movie is pure 80's action perfection. It doesn't take itself seriously at all but at the same time it doesn't cross the absolute ridiculous line and still some what believable. It's almost like an action movie fairy-tale. I've watched it hundreds of times. 😂
My favorite action movie line is in this film: “you wanna put the knife in me! Seeing what’s going behind my eyes when you turnnnn it!” Lol love this movie. That delivery was EVERYTHING,
There's a reason Arnold was the greatest action movie star of all time. I grew up watching Arnold movies at sleepovers, this and running man were favorites of ours.
The mall cop that Rae Dawn Chong pushes down the stairs to prevent him from shooting Matrix is played by Dick Warlock ie Michael Myers in Halloween II among many other stunt man credits to his name.
Of all the great one liners that Schwarzenegger has had in his career, "Let of some steam Bennett" is definitely one of my favorites. It's SO over the top, just like the entire movie. But it is perfect for that scene.
The man who plays "Cooke", who also played "Mac" in "Predator" , is Bill Duke. Most recently seen in episodes of "Black Lightning". "Sully" was played by David Patrick Kelly... "Warriors", just watch it and to answer the question that you will ask, YES, that's pretty much what growing up in New York was like.
@@TBRSchmitt Commando was not replaced as my fave Arnie movie until Kindergarten Cop came out; Predator came close, but ultimately sits third for me. Commando though is one I always went back to when people used to dismiss his comedic chops; Arnie never took himself seriously; always felt he knew just how lucky he was and vowed to just enjoy it, kerk
Commando is peak 80s. This is why i loved the Expendables movies. They were all a callback to these kind of movies that were just FUN. no politics, no social commentary, no complicated plot, no forced romance sub-plot.... just action.
This is one of those guilty pleasure film. Even though no bullets hit him. I always love how he takes out the guy on the plane. I Especially like as the guy raising his arms up in the air as his necks breaks.
I love this channel! Usually when you watch other ppl reactions to things you hold dear to your heart you’re disappointed coz they just not getting it…well not here! You’re so passionate about movies and you’re noticing every little detail and care for characters that it is a real pleasure to watch. 90’s action movies were happening during my teen years so it’s awesome to see your reaction to all the cheesiness and awesomeness of those times. Keep it up guys you’re very likeable ppl, and yeah I’m waiting for Rambo 2 in the future!
This one is the most Arnold of all Arnold movies in my opinion. It's an unfiltered lake of pure mindless amazing action, with all the quips and absurdity you have to just love to watch. A+
When she said she didn't realize the age difference between Alyssa and Arnold, my first thought was "Well, there's somebody that's never seen Who's The Boss."
The Flight attendant girl is Ray Dawn Chong, Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong's daughter. Another movie you'll enjoy is Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans in the action comedy Last Boyscout.
Fun fact: The lead actress in this movie (Rae Dong Chong) went out to dinner in Maui about 20 years ago, and she ended up casting her waiter in a movie she was working on. That waiter was Chris Pratt.
Not going to lie, this seemed ridiculous to me because Chris Pratt is the same age as I am and I was thinking "20 years ago? What was he, 9?" Then I realized I'm old...
I loved this movie as a kid! When I first saw it when I was about 4 or 5, at the scene he was getting ready to storm the compound; getting dressed, loading up on all his weapons, painting his camouflage, I yelled at the TV "He's turning into a robot!"
Arnold's daugther is played by Alissa Milano. Christ Pratt plays Starlord, and his ship is called 'the Milano'. Christ Pratt maried Arnold's real daugther!
One of the best things about an Arnold film is the power of His Charisma. Even when it's a serious film or an action epic or even something a little over-the-top like this, the man knows how to use his Charisma to sell the film and it makes you more willing to go along with the ride. As you go further in his filmography, you'll see it more and more.. Other than that great reaction from you guys and your channel is becoming one of my highlights every week! Keep up the great work!
I have seen this movie so many times! I love the action. Given the one liners from Matrix I think he was working on a stand up routine on the side. Man that car wreck into the pole is jarring every time. Ironically she would have gone airborne. Also back in the mall that drug dealer could have escaped but had to come out shooting! I’m pretty sure Sully screams “ooh la la!” When he plummeted to his death.
I was visiting my cousin out in the middle of nowhere in the Dominican Republic in 1991 and this was the only movie my cousin had in VHS, which was the best entertainment I had for the day!
You guys are Fantastic!! 📽⭐....you React to a great variety of Movie genre....and you really bring awesome feel good vibes to your viewers.... Yall are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I met Vernon Wells, the actor who played Bennett at a comic con and he was the coolest guy. He just sat there and talked to us for several minutes because nobody was in his line. He's been my favorite celebrity that I've met at cons so far. Ernie Hudson was cool also.
He was also a bad guy in 48 Hours as Luther and was a Irish Mob boss in the Bruce Willis movie Last man standing with Christopher Walken playing David Patrick Kellys psychotic right hand man.
I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing through your whole reaction that was so fun thanks it was almost like a Naked Gun movie so many laughs, please react to “ The Warriors “ classic
It's fun to spot all the mistakes in this movie. There's a lot! For example, you see the wire attached to the guys leg at 11:59. And you can't see it here since you cut it, but when they drive away in the crashed yellow Porsche you can see that it's suddenly undamaged again.
The guy who plays Sully is David Patrick Kelly, who was the "Come out and play-ayyyyy" guy in The Warriors and the villain in Dreamscape (another awesom 80's flick)
Commando is pure 80s cheese... I absolutely love it! It doesn't take itself seriously and is a blast to watch. Movies don't get much more fun than this. Great reaction guys!
That scene when Arnie and Cindy crashed the car chasing Sully. There was no inertia or shock for Arnie, he just instantly turned to Cindy who was in shock "Are you all right ?" The timing was split second.
Weird & random trivia: * In 1985 Rae Dawn Chong plays with Arnold in Commando. * ~15 years later Rae Dawn Chong convinced a 19-year-old Chris Pratt, whom she met at a restaurant in Hawaii where he was a waiter, to star in her one and only short movie she directs, "Cursed Part 3". * This was Chris Pratts very first role and sparked his interest to try to pursue the acting business. * Another 19 years later Chris Pratt marries Arnold daughter Katherine.

Commando is pure, uncut Arnold. I love it.
The most Arnold of all Arnold movies.
Man I was literally saying the same thing as I seen your comment lol. Arnold being prime Arnold. Never be anyone else quite like him.
This also spawned the arcade game, Commando by Capcom.

Kindergarten Cop, and Twins with Danny Devito.
They are both under rated, but good fun films to watch.
We definitely will!
@@TBRSchmitt Commando was not replaced as my fave Arnie movie until Kindergarten Cop came out; Predator came close, but ultimately sits third for me. Commando though is one I always went back to when people used to dismiss his comedic chops; Arnie never took himself seriously; always felt he knew just how lucky he was and vowed to just enjoy it, kerk
Commando is peak 80s. This is why i loved the Expendables movies. They were all a callback to these kind of movies that were just FUN. no politics, no social commentary, no complicated plot, no forced romance sub-plot.... just action.
FACT
I was 15 when this came out and had a buddy who worked at a theater that was screening it, so I saw it at least six times for free.
This is one of those guilty pleasure film. Even though no bullets hit him. I always love how he takes out the guy on the plane. I Especially like as the guy raising his arms up in the air as his necks breaks.
I love this channel! Usually when you watch other ppl reactions to things you hold dear to your heart you’re disappointed coz they just not getting it…well not here! You’re so passionate about movies and you’re noticing every little detail and care for characters that it is a real pleasure to watch. 90’s action movies were happening during my teen years so it’s awesome to see your reaction to all the cheesiness and awesomeness of those times. Keep it up guys you’re very likeable ppl, and yeah I’m waiting for Rambo 2 in the future!
This one is the most Arnold of all Arnold movies in my opinion. It's an unfiltered lake of pure mindless amazing action, with all the quips and absurdity you have to just love to watch. A+
Alyssa Milano was in a tv show called "whos the boss" damn, that showed my age.
When she said she didn't realize the age difference between Alyssa and Arnold, my first thought was "Well, there's somebody that's never seen Who's The Boss."
@@DataCab1e Wow, that is funny because I was thinking the same thing, but then again, they are a young couple, so I can't blame them, lol.
Yup. and she used to go out with corey haim
@@DataCab1e With Tony Stanza 👍 I have a terrible memory but still remember his name 😂😂😂
With Tony Danza 👍 I have a terrible memory but still remember his name 😂😂😂
the mall scene took place in del amo mall in torrance, california. used to shop there with my grandmother when i was a kid
Commando = Instant "like"
Excellent lol! My plan worked!
1985 was one of the greatest years for movies in film history. So many classics came out that year.
The Flight attendant girl is Ray Dawn Chong, Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong's daughter. Another movie you'll enjoy is Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans in the action comedy Last Boyscout.
80's action movies are so good. Full of action, one liners, and over the top situations. It's just enjoyable.
Fun fact: The lead actress in this movie (Rae Dong Chong) went out to dinner in Maui about 20 years ago, and she ended up casting her waiter in a movie she was working on. That waiter was Chris Pratt.
Not going to lie, this seemed ridiculous to me because Chris Pratt is the same age as I am and I was thinking "20 years ago? What was he, 9?" Then I realized I'm old...
Rae Dawn Chong
@@SuedeBoy69 Right, daughter of Tommy Chong, of "Cheech & Chong" fame.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 He's playing James Reece. Close enough.
Chris Pratt ended up marrying Arnold's daughter lol.
I loved this movie as a kid! When I first saw it when I was about 4 or 5, at the scene he was getting ready to storm the compound; getting dressed, loading up on all his weapons, painting his camouflage, I yelled at the TV "He's turning into a robot!"
You guys gotta do last action hero, definitely one of Arnold's underappreciated classics.
If you know who TOMMY CHONG is from the duo CHEECH & CHONG, that was Tommy's daughter RAE DAWN CHONG playing Cindy the flight attendant.
Arnold's daugther is played by Alissa Milano. Christ Pratt plays Starlord, and his ship is called 'the Milano'. Christ Pratt maried Arnold's real daugther!
🤯
Brilliant, man!!!!!! 80s action films like these are pure gold, imagine a vault of unreleased films like this still not released...wow..
First Mr Video watching The Green Mile and then you two watching THIS! What a great day this was!!
Going to mr video next after this
Hahaha does sound like a winning combo!
One of the best things about an Arnold film is the power of His Charisma. Even when it's a serious film or an action epic or even something a little over-the-top like this, the man knows how to use his Charisma to sell the film and it makes you more willing to go along with the ride. As you go further in his filmography, you'll see it more and more..
Other than that great reaction from you guys and your channel is becoming one of my highlights every week! Keep up the great work!
2:34, Arnold and his big Biceps! They are as big as my head! Lol!
Hahaha huge!
Let off some steam Bennett is still the best line in a Arnie movie. Glorious
Have you seen Twins with Arnold and Danny DeVito? It’s a comedy, cute and fun
No but it is coming soon!
Yes Twins is very good Devito at his best
The greatest movie ever! Every Oscar in existence should be given to this film...pure 80's entertainment
I have seen this movie so many times! I love the action. Given the one liners from Matrix I think he was working on a stand up routine on the side. Man that car wreck into the pole is jarring every time. Ironically she would have gone airborne. Also back in the mall that drug dealer could have escaped but had to come out shooting! I’m pretty sure Sully screams “ooh la la!” When he plummeted to his death.
Hahaha yeah she should have gone flying! Just a totally fun movie!
@@TBRSchmitt So good.
I was visiting my cousin out in the middle of nowhere in the Dominican Republic in 1991 and this was the only movie my cousin had in VHS, which was the best entertainment I had for the day!
You guys are Fantastic!! 📽⭐....you React to a great variety of Movie genre....and you really bring awesome feel good vibes to your viewers....
Yall are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That casual kill on the plane never gets old! I still laugh every time I see it! :D
8:40, in the Director's Cut, she says," Not as nice when he kicks your ass."
I met Vernon Wells, the actor who played Bennett at a comic con and he was the coolest guy. He just sat there and talked to us for several minutes because nobody was in his line. He's been my favorite celebrity that I've met at cons so far. Ernie Hudson was cool also.
David Patrick Kelly (Sully) plays great villainous creeps. Check him out in The Crow and the Walter Hill cult classic The Warriors.
He was also a bad guy in 48 Hours as Luther and was a Irish Mob boss in the Bruce Willis movie Last man standing with Christopher Walken playing David Patrick Kellys psychotic right hand man.
The actor who played Bennett also played Wez in the road warrior. He was the Mohawk motorcycle guy with the crossbow on his wrist.
I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing through your whole reaction that was so fun thanks it was almost like a Naked Gun movie so many laughs, please react to “ The Warriors “ classic
Good call, that would be an interesting movie to see them react to. I have not seen a TH-cam reactor do it yet.
Awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@namelessjedi2242 yes and Sully actor is in the Warriors also kind of the 80s gang of actors in Arnold movies good memories
@@namelessjedi2242 ............Come out and playyayyayay
I told ya... Paxton in every movie in the 80s and 90s! And Arnold, Stallone, Van Damme, Gibson....
This one is a bit more over the top for an Arnold movie.
Definitely on the extreme side but I love it for that!
The puns and one liners in this movie are the gold standard!
“Let off some steam, Bennet.”
Classic!
Fun fact, the actor who played Bennet, was in Mad Max 2 and would go on to be the main villain in a series of Power Rangers.
@@weldonwin “YOU CAN RUN!
BUT YOU CANT HIDE!”
It's fun to spot all the mistakes in this movie. There's a lot! For example, you see the wire attached to the guys leg at 11:59. And you can't see it here since you cut it, but when they drive away in the crashed yellow Porsche you can see that it's suddenly undamaged again.
Commodo is an awesome movie. Hope you guys have an great and awesome day. Much ❤ as always 😊
It definitely is! Thank you and same to you!
The guy who plays Sully is David Patrick Kelly, who was the "Come out and play-ayyyyy" guy in The Warriors and the villain in Dreamscape (another awesom 80's flick)
Awesome!! My favourite Arnold movie. Been waiting for both of your reactions to this. 🙂
Awesome! Thank you for the support! This movie was amazing!
Commando is pure 80s cheese... I absolutely love it! It doesn't take itself seriously and is a blast to watch. Movies don't get much more fun than this. Great reaction guys!
Young Alyssa Milano , True Lies is the best ! Thanks
"Leave anything for us?" - Kirby to Matrix
"Just bodies" - Matrix to Kirby 😆
That scene when Arnie and Cindy crashed the car chasing Sully. There was no inertia or shock for Arnie, he just instantly turned to Cindy who was in shock "Are you all right ?" The timing was split second.
Weird & random trivia:
* In 1985 Rae Dawn Chong plays with Arnold in Commando.
* ~15 years later Rae Dawn Chong convinced a 19-year-old Chris Pratt, whom she met at a restaurant in Hawaii where he was a waiter, to star in her one and only short movie she directs, "Cursed Part 3".
* This was Chris Pratts very first role and sparked his interest to try to pursue the acting business.
* Another 19 years later Chris Pratt marries Arnold daughter Katherine.
