Let off some steam Bennett!

I don't think any movie has left such a mark on me as this movie has. I saw it for the first time when I was 5 or 6 years old and right from the start I felt like this was a movie that kicked ass. The last 30 minutes of the movie is one long killing spree and my good is there none better at doing that then Arnold Schwarzenegger. I am off course talking about the most bad ass movie of all time: Commando from 1985.






You start off by watching some guys get taking out in different ways by Cooke played by Bill Duke and you have no idea what is going on but then my god does Arnold take charge when you need him to. You see his massive arms wrapped around a one ton log and a chainsaw and right there you just know, that whatever may happen somebody's going to get killed in awesome fashion. Arnold's character is named John Matrix...... John Matrix. That is one of the most bad ass names ever and he off course is a former black/spec ops guy who now lives with his daughter out in the woods of Oregon or something like that. You get to see John Matrix as a loving father and all but after just 11 and a half minute all hell breaks lose. John's former general has let the bad guys to his hideout and right after General Kirby leaves two soldiers at John's house, a one man wrecking crew is started and the only pauses he takes, are when drugged and when he needs to get some more guns. Off course they kidnap his daughter and demand John to do their dirty work but John Matrix is not a man you try to play tough with.   


John is captured after a mad driving scene where he ends up being drugged by one of the guys we saw getting blown up at the start of the film. John sees his daughter in a warehouse and agrees to do the job off killing the president off the country the pussy bad guy in a suite, named Arius, wants to rule. Sully and Jackson follow John to the plain and John tells sully "You're a funny guy sully. I like you, that's why i'm gonna kill you last.". Jackson is taken care off on the plain where John brakes his neck and then he jumps off the plain just after takeoff and lands in a swamp. He meets up with Cindy, a stewards/pilot and the two of them crash a mall, Kill 50 people, rob a military store, steals a plain and set of towards the Island Arius is on with his bodyguard and former member of Matrix's military group Bennett.     

First of all some of the discussions John takes are so awesome it you can't help but to laugh your butt of. One of the guys who attacked his house are telling him that he won't get his daughter back unless he cooperates. What does John do? He shoots the guy in the head and drives his car down a mountain to try and stop Cooke and his guys from getting away. John jumps off a plain while it takes off but some off the shots show that the plain is well in the air but he jumps into a swamp and nothing happens. How can you fall 500 meters or so, land in shallow water and just walk it off? At the Mall John is attacked by 7000 mall cops and while Sully tries to escape by getting into an elevator. John the rips some sort of soft plastic tube hanging from the rafters and swings himself onto the top of the elevator. When Sully is finally caught by John he hangs him in his left arm bye his legs out from a cliff. He then gets what he wants from him and says "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? I lied" and lets him go. When entering the warehouse Matrix was in earlier he doesn't try to get any answers from the soldiers there he beats the living crap out of one and then guesses where the plain Cindy and him are looking for is. He doesn't at any point try to contact General Kirby to get help or information he just want to clear the Island himself and then contact General Kirby to do the cleanup.

At the Island John Matrix is most importantly equipped with a Valmet M83 and a M60E3. Both of these weapons seem to have unlimited ammunition. John just keeps on spraying and spraying until everyone in front of him is dead. The M60E3 is fed by a belt and though the belt shortens in one clip it is back to full length in the next. His Remington 870 shotgun never need another shell and usually never needs a pump. Only a king like Arnold could pull magic like this off.



The punch lines are so awesome it's a pleasure to hear them over and over again. "i'l be back Bennett", "Don't disturb my friend he's dead tired", "Come on Bennett lets Party" and many more gives Arnold what he needs. He needs to be a bad ass all the way with an awesome tone and edge towards the bad guys. 




Speaking off the the bad guys how in the world could a guy like Bennett be a special forces guy. He's out of shape, kind off fat and that mustache he's rocking makes you think he's 50 years old. He's wearing some sort of chain mail on top of his t-shirt and it looks so gay it's funny as hell. Bennett is played by Vernon Wells and he's okay but Bennett is more insane then skilled, and you always feel like, there is no way in hell John Matrix can lose to this guy.

Commando is 80's art at its peak and no movie has ever gotten close to matter shire violence and pure awesomeness that this movie is filled with. Arnold is perfect as the guy who kicks ass all day and loves it. and off course you end off on the best punch line of all time. At the final stand off John and Bennett fight in the basement of the mansion on Arius' island. John is down on his knees and Bennett is beating him up, while telling John that he's an old man and he's a dead man to, but John lunches back up while yelling "Bull Shit" and lands a fury of left handed punches and Bennett is backed up towards a hot water tank and while trying to stand up tells John "John, I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes. I'll shoot you between the balls" and he cooks his uzi. John though rips a led pipe off the wall and throws it trough bot Bennett and the hot water tank. And while steam blows out the end of the pipe and Bennett is grimacing in pain John ends the fight the most powerful line in movie history "Let off some steam Bennett". My god does this movie kick ass.
