cool movie

My husband classifies Commando (1985) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the best film ever. One of those it’s so bad, it’s good testosteronic bonanza. The lead star’s lines, catchphrases, expressions, invincibility border on utmost hilarity. The then former Mr. Universe and future California governor plays John Matrix, a one man killing machine, capable of gunning down a private army of hundreds. The body count in the film is so amazing, two men drop dead every second in Matrix’s attack of the dictator who kidnapped his daughter. One scene has Matrix fighting a platoon of combatants while using rose bushes as cover. Bullet-proof bushes, yeah, why not . Some of the men in villainous fatigue uniforms fall even before shots are fired. He gets shot in the arm, no signs of bleeding in the affected extremity. Then he is stabbed in the abdomen and still has no marks. He gets burned in the furnace in the final confrontation and survives the battle with barely a scratch. His daughter Jenny played by Alyssa Milano witnesses her father throw a pipe through another man into a boiler. But for all that the pretty tyke manages a smile in the ensuing close-up. Letting-off steam, indeed. Remarkably entertaining.
