I think it's why it should be talked about more, Commando is the best.

Not to mention the amazing one-liners. The entire Sully scene has Arnold speaking entirely in awesome one-liners.

"Loyalty is very touching. But it's not the most important thing in your life right now. What IS important is gravity."
"I have to remind you Sully, this is my weak arm."
"Remember when I promised to kill you last? I lied."
"I had to let him go."

Commando is just balls-to-the-wall in every way and I adore it.

"If you want your kid back, then you gotta co-operate. RIGHT?!"
"WRONG!"-BLAMMO-

Commando is the best sort of "no fucks given" action movie that goes completely over the top but somehow manages this without becoming unwatchably ridiculous in the process, and I loving love it. Way back when in 2002 or whatever, Sky One in the UK was showing drat near every Schwarzenegger action movie and I recorded a bunch of them on numerous VHS tapes. This resulted in stuff like Commando and Predator on one tape, one right after the other :haw:

I honestly don't know which one you mean. Every gag in Day of the Dead is that one. They're all so, so good.

I've also never seen Movie Magic. Was that a TV show in America? Tried looking it up on Youtube to no avail.

The scene where Rhodes gets eaten alive by zombies.

Yeah, Movie Magic was American, it was on the Discovery Channel.

Movie Magic owned. I remember the episode about Day of the Dead, it was pretty cool seeing how they made that scene, you know the one.

I think I know the one you're talking about, now I want to go look it up to see if I'm right.

Sorry if this comes off pedantic but this is a genuine pet peeve of mine: it's not 'homoerotic' when a straight couple does pegging. Anal sex has nothing to do with being gay any more than it does being straight.

I should have started a new paragraph, I wasn't speaking to that specifically.

Also shut the gently caress up.

Y'know, Predator presumably exists in the same universe as Alien, so we could have Dutch Schaefer vs Alien. Or even use CGI so we can have John Matrix and Dutch Schaefer vs Aliens.

MST3K used to do these short summer movie previews & the one where they covered Batman & Robin had Pearl laughing nonstop through the entire segment.

In short, Batman & Robin rules in its ridiculousness.

The movie is horrible but Arnold is always good fun & watchable, ~~even~~ especially in garish trash such as B&R where he's allowed to chew scenery.

Kindergarten Cop/Aliens mash-up would be amazing. Instead of quiet, character-building scenes of Ripley being a mother to Newt, we have Kimble screaming "THERE IS NO BATHROOM" at her just before they go into hypersleep, and shouting "IT'S NOT A TOOMAH" when the colonist starts convulsing with a lump breaking out of her chest.

Also tells Burke to "SHUUUT UUUUUP!" when he's exposed as the piece of company rat-poo poo that he is.

gently caress, I want this so bad now.

Might as well mash those two together then. Turboman & Robin.

Kimble stomps into the cargo bay in a powerloader, where the Queen has cornered a class of kindergarden children on a field trip, "Hi there Queenie! We're going to play a wonderful game called, "Who is my daddy and what does he do?"".

Had he not gone for just the look it should have prevented him from being impaled even.

Instead he had to let off some steam.

God dammit Pennywise you better be watching Commando right now!

Well, I mean, the capcom beat'em'up Predators vs Aliens had Dutch as one of the four selectable characters...but it was Dutch's distant descendant, who more or less looked and acted like him, but with cyborg robot gun arm and stuff. ...it's better than I made it sound!

If you mash the Predator and Alien Legendary Encounter games together one of the possible options is the marines from Aliens hunting Dutch & Co through the jungle for sport.

e: It can be an alien infested jungle, if you like
