    Commando

    I watched this film again recently and have a renewed appreciation for how it manages to be one of the best and worst films ever made, at the same time. I was reminded of it in the "I love you Philip Morris" thread and the reference to Bennet. So I thought this film deserved a thread all of its own.

    The amount of epic quotes contained in this film is incredible. Here is one of my favourites.

    Somewhere... somehow... someone's going to pay

    Matrix: Let off steam Bennett

    Bennett: John, I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes. I'm going to shoot you between the balls.

    'Dude! you crashed your Porsche!'

    'It's not mine'

    'Awesome!'

    Only Arnie can make the top of a wooden guard-tower explode by placing a Claymore at the bottom

    One of my favourite films just because it's so cheesy

    Old Arnie films are the best, Commando is the best of them.

    Un-limited ammo FTW! He runs round the corner, and suddenly has a massive belt of rounds from no where

    Sprays it from the hip and nails 10 guys from 200 yards away.

    Commando is one of my all time favourites. I was about 10 when it came out. My Uncle let me borrow it, my dad watched it, decided it's not for me being an 18, hid it. I woke up at 6am, found it and watched with amazement

    Lady: "Where's Sally"
    Arnie: "I had to let him go"

    I love the theme tune too

    one of my all time fav arnie action films.
    i watched it with the uncle when i was very young and every Action Man/GI Joe playing session started with loading up with as many guns/grenades/knives/bombs as i could fit on them.

    Can't beat the Shopping centre scene of the knife fight in the motel.
    brilliant.
