I loved this movie when it came out for it's over the top badness; hysterical that the villain looked dumpy and out of shape and wandered onto the set from a nearby leather bar. The one-liners were great: "Sully, remember when I said I would kill you last? I lied." "Can you bring a pillow for my friend? He's dead tired." I crack up every time at the scene when he throws the circular saw blade like frisbee and scalps a guy with it.

A young DJRed fondly remembers that Alyssa Milano pool scene.
Think you've either got the wrong movie or the wrong actress, Alyssa Milano played Arnie's kids daughter in Commando, she was about 12 at the time...
No, I have the correct movie. My point was I was 12 at the time, too, and seeing Alyssa Milano in a bathing suit was a slice of heaven for a pre-teen boy.
The ratio of awesomeness to hilariousness is a perfect 1:1 in every damn scene.
1980s cinematic brilliance.
The most awesome of the awesome Ah-nuld 1980s good-guy-action-hero movies, with the possible exception of Predator. ;-)
"Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? I lied."
Then Ah-nuld proceeds to let go of the upside-down Sully's leg, causing him to plummet to his death from the cliff top on which Ah-nuld was dangling the guy.
"What happened to Sully?" (Rae Dawn Chong)
"I let him go." (Ah-nuld)
It don't get much better than that, boys. :-) "Politics is just show business for ugly people."
Damn, thanks for the reminder. I'm not sure there's a cheesy film with better one-liners. Personally, my favorite is the part where the dude with the thick accent says something along the lines of: "cutting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter."
Showgirls is the greatest terrible movie of all time.......
^ this
Showgirls was just a T&A softcore porn movie gussied up as "art."
Commando never pretended to be anything other than what it was, making it -- by definition -- a more honest movie.
That's why Commando gets the coveted "Greatest Terrible Movie of All Time" Award.
Now, if you'll excuse me...I have to go and review Showgirls clips for, like, the third time this morning. ;-) "Politics is just show business for ugly people."

My wife couldn’t understand why I never returned that movie to the video store in 1996 “It’s just such a fastenating story honey. Now go to bed I’ll be up in a while”

How can you consider The Warriors a terrible movie? That is one excellent flick. I have watched it multiple times over the years. Not because you're watch a car wreck but it's the basic good guys beat bad guys scenario.

Definitely didn't mean to call it terrible. It's one of my faves. It's cult classic, for sure.
Commando is an all time classic...for a more recent great terrible movie check out Kung Fury. Best part it’s only 30 minutes long, it was on Netflix at one point.
