Commando, Cover may vary

I remember when I saw this as a kid, I kept telling the school bully to "Blow off some steam" He had no idea what I meant and beat me up anyway. But I knew, one day he would watch this and remember!

Its perfect

Could Arnold make a bad movie back then?

This is really a cartoon pretending to be a motion picture, exciting and fun, but totally unrealistic. Arnold Swartzenegger is the Commando, who shoots down the bad guys with impunity, but is never shot himself despite a barrage of high-powered guns being fired at him continuously. If you want to have a good time watching the body count climb ever higher, while hand grenades, trucks and helicopters are constantly exploding, this movie is for you. But if you expect drama and realism, forget it.

Awesome movie

"Commando" is not the kind of film that takes itself very seriously, but when it rocks, it really rocks, and you feel the blood-and-thunder effects of a great old R-rated shoot 'em up that has now become a practical lost art in our age of cinematic CGI atrocities. When I read on Wikipedia recently that some misguided souls are plotting to ruin the film's legacy by funding an ill-advised remake of this title, I shook my head in disbelief that they intend to take a "serious approach" to the script. Oh sheesh, I say. (Sure, the original script was probably more serious and less Arnold-fied, but who cares? "Commando" is a kill 'em all movie that is fun for a reason. The filmmakers who try to make it "serious" are spoiling the sexist, macho, overly unrealistic structure that makes these movies fun for all guys who are still boys at heart--the point is that these are fantasies (as at ease on the SyFy channel as it is on TNT, for instance) in that they make no bones about their unbelievable elements. Is it an Oscar-worthy effort, a great movie? No. Would I rather watch it than a rerun of "Gone with the Wind"? Sign me up!The picture and sound quality of the movie (and the widescreen presentation) are fine, very good through a nice pair of headphones. The director's commentary (available on the theatrical cut only) is quite fun, but not as informative as I would have preferred...but then again, the movie doesn't require much thought or explanation anyway. Rae Dawn Chong is hilarious (and quite racially insensitive!) on her interview segments, whereas director Lester is also interviewed extensively on the film's two featurettes. Joel Silver apparently had a warped sense of humor (he was the one who told Black to tell those, ahem, lady jokes in "Predator") and his vision is thoroughly preserved on this 1985 classic. The best parts of the deluxe DVD are the deleted scenes, in which you see a longer version of the shed attack scene...watching this on TV when I was younger, I knew some stuff was drastically cut, but this is the most complete scene you'll get of this. Overall, the extras aren't all that revealing, but if you're a real fan, buy this edition, don't just settle for the old bare bones edition (which is currently going for cheap at Wal-Mart stores). A-

This movie is stupid. It's got all sorts of storyline errors, continuity problems, and goofs. But it is just so much fun. You want to see action? Do you want to see adventure? Do you want to see the big hero muscle man kill all the bad guys and rescue the one he loves, while dispatching the evil mustachioed villain in a one-on-one brawl to the death?Do you want one-liners that make you chuckle? Do you want Arnold at his most Schwarzeneggerest? Then this is the movie for you. Watch it. It will put a smile on your face. This is Arnold at his finest. Unapologetic 1980's action machismo. A body count the size of a small country. Machine guns that never run out of ammo. And all the cuss words, and gore the kids love.Fun for the whole family!

Friday movie night. This movie was perfect with pizza a wine. My husband and I had a great time watching it. Entertaining! The movie is not so much 5 stars, but the fun watching it definitely was.

Muy buen producto, muy buena calidad y precio
