Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Night of the Comet, Commando, Phantom of the Mall, Innerspace, Chopping Mall, Terminator 2 etc...

I had forgotten just how many shots there are in there of John Matrix walking sideways and shooting a zillion guys. From there you go to Operation Wolf a couple years later and a sort of genre springs out of that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fact: That is only good for billionaires, not you. Fact: He's lying. Fact: He doesn't have the authority to do that. Fact: That never happened. Fact: He seems to be referencing the 1985 movie Commando as though it is real. Fact: Lies. Fact: "Regular Americans" only means billionaires.

Got to meet his mom too, nice lady. In one room he had a collection of wall hangers straight out of that movie Commando. Shit I'd never seen before, and I'd

positive · AI labelView post →Two not-Schwarzeneggers from Capcom's Mercs, sequel to the precariously named Commando (which actually came out before the movie). There's a third guy in the game that also obviously has the Arnie body, but I haven't found a matching pose for that. #TracingTheInfluence samderboo.com/tracing.php?...

neutral · AI labelView post →I dunno call me wacky but Deadpool and Wolverine managed to 100% be a fan service film while subverting and commenting on fan service and particularly fan service in Marvel movies and it all totally worked for me. Big Commando energy. Self-aware and knee-deep in its genre at the same time.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Streetfighter with @mzspress.bsky.social. In a word? Glorious. The anime moments are so strong that I wish the whole movie were done way. But the Frankenstein patchwork is vivid, fun, and true to 80s action-trash sensibility à la Commando, '86 Running Man, Kickboxer.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not shedding any tears over Hulk Hogan's death. I am, however, still mourning the loss of $8 I paid for a movie ticket in 1991 to see Suburban Commando.
neutral · AI labelView post →If Terminator and Predator got a dozen spin-offs, Total Recall and Conan too, surely Commando is worth a revival of some sort? Either way, the original 1984 film is a fun slice of action + comedy, one of the first X/18 movies saw. Let off some steam! 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/04/21/c...

neutral · AI labelView post →Commando was an insane action film that feels like a Cannon film, but was made by a major studio. You'd almost swear that it made by Golan-Globus (but there was NO way they could afford Arnold's salary, or a fraction of the budget for his films).
