Commando (DVD 2003)

This was a great action film when it first came out; Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his prime, and no one worrying about how many people got killed in a film.

This version has some scenes deleted, still it’s a great movie


Plot summary:

Retired, Colonel John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) lives an idyllic life in the country with his young daughter.

Somebody wants John to come out of retirement to kill a Latin American President, in order to encourage John out of retirement, they kidnap his daughter.
Somebody just made a mistake!

Unfortunately this is an edited version if you saw the original film you may feel cheated because of the deleted scenes, I did.

Commando is an awesome movie and one of Arnie's finest!
Always been a fan of this film since it's release and I have seen it many times.
Arnie's action films never disappoint and I always go back for more.
Some of the things that go on in this film,have to be seen to be believed and it's a typical action flick from the eighties.
Plenty of laughs along the way too in Commando!
See it now!

Had the film on video, however the picture quality was poor, the dvd rectifies both picture and sound quality.

Commando is a brilliant, well planned film. Arnie is amazing in this action film. The acting is great and the whole film is exciting, well paced and overall, a brilliant 80s flick!

Plot:

Colonel Matrix has retired and is living with his 10 year old daughter in the country. His Daughter is kidnapped to assure that Matrix will kill the president of a latin American country to allow the return of a dictator. Matrix escapes off a plane flight and has until it lands to rescue his daughter. Matrix must follow the clues he has and save his daughter in time.

If you're like me and my mates who love watching Arnie movies with some snacks and a few beers then I only need to say two words!

Arnie classic!

Arnold Schwarzenegger was trying to make his name when he made Commando.
A film to show of his muscles, and dry sense of humour!
There is the usual gratuitious violence as in most of his films, normally accompanied by a dead pan comment (pipe throw the chest, "let off some steam!")
Not a film I have a plan to watch with my partner, as I dont think she would get it!

It just has everything you could want from the Austrian superhero turned governor. "Let off some steam, Bennet"

Commando, a mix of big guns, muscle, testosterone and big BIG explosions that just has to be watched with your mates enjoying a pizza and multiple cans of lager!

The story, what there is, is a simple one.

1. Arny's daughter is kidnapped by bad guys.
2. Bad guys hold daughter hostage so Arny will assassinate some dude.
3. Arny is put on a plane with a member of the bad guys.
4. Arny kills bad guy and escapes.
5. Arny kills the other bad guys after using them to track down his daughter.
6. Enter love interest.
7. Arny finds the big boss and goes after him.
8. Arny kills the big boss.
9. Arny kills the last bad guy, who used to be his mate in his former Commando unit.
10 Arny just blows everything in sight up and walks out hold his daughter in his arms.
11. Arny turns down an offer of further gainful employment from his old General Franklin Curby and flys of into the sunset.

A class 80's film full of shoulder pads, porsche 911's, camp bad guys, cheesy one liners, big guns, bigger explosions and rippling chest muscles.

The best monent of the movie is the big show down with Bennet and Matrix "Im gona kill you John!!!!"


"Let of some steam Bennet!!!" LOL

All in all, a great if slighty cheesy film that I loved when I was 10 years old, buy it, watch it and remember a time when film violence was still fun!!! :-)

best mavie i ever watched me and my dad love it. it is soooo cool and fun to watch i thought it was made it 1960's

Ok movie certainly a lot of action for the money and it is a good story line to. Arnold makes a good commando but is a bit unrealistic to play the girls father.

arnie is the dog bollox in this film. at the peak of his looks i think. its a shame he is so old now so he cant make these any more. there is only one arnie.... legend.

old style classic of arnie in his prime a real dvd till keep you happy for days after days!!!!great!!!

I brought this dvd as Commando is my favourite film ever, I would watch it over and over again, anytime it is on the tele I would watch it. Its a good action film I like arnie very much in this film but as an overal, I love the film

It took this seller over two weeks to post this item. Seller did not reply to any emails that I sent. DVD is ok but I will not buy from this seller ever again. Very poor service. Not happy at all.

As my title means ebay is ideal for those past films still retailing above a tenner in a shop you manage to find it in

for its age still a very good film, its arrine at his best
well worth the money i paid for it i nice easy watch film

Unless your buying the region 1 version dont bother! The american version is the boss and is Arnie at his best! Is it in my collection?? To right it is!!

I Love This Film As Its Writer has no clue what is going on and a few cheeesy lines i just bought this of ebay cant wait to get it to rip the hell out of arnold

i absolutely love this film. it is one of the best action movies made and one of Arnie's most iconic. non stop action from start to finish. great value for a brand new sealed DVD. there is nothing i dislike about apart from one or two scenes have some of the violence cut out of them that was in the original. but apart from that it is great.

good film really enjoyed it had the film years ago on video plenty of action thngs i didnt like about it was it was cut

ive seen the film before but i always thought it was classic arnie. i watch it at least once every fortnight. superb film

a brilliant film watched many years ago but now you can watch them on
dvd the colour is better and you can stop where you want and most films
we have been trying to get we can always get them on ebay

This film obeys all 80s action movie clichés by the letter. A retired crack commando, arnie would never hurt a fly. Then, when evil latin-armerican types kidnap his sickeningly cute daughter to get him to use his fighting finesse in thier shady plot, Arnie snaps. Trying to count the number of deaths in this film results in despair. Arnie consistantly fights whole armies of gunmen from the cover of... an open lawn without the smallest injury, dealing out witty one-liners when killing characters worthy of note, and uses a satisfying variety of weapons to achieve revenge on a biblical scale. Textbook action classic.
