here's a couple of other ones:

Deathrace 2000 (might not be 80s... cant remember)

Who Am I? (yeah the one with Jackie Chan, it rules!!!!)

Die Hard was the first violent movie I ever watched, I think I was 8 years old :lol: and it was the uncensored version haha

Keith, I can't believe you haven't seen Commando!!!

It's gotta be the cheesiest and funniest of all Arnie films!!!! It's like a James Bond movie with all those one-liners! You see the same extras getting killed about 50 times aswell :lol: My fave part from that is the line he says after dropping that guy off the cliff.. but I can't remember exactly what it is so I won't post, for fear of looking retarded :D

That was "Hey Sully remember when I said I would kill you last?"


"...I lied"



Arnie is awesome. And it is the cheesiest film ever, the best bit is when he kits up on the beach.

Sooo many cheesy one liners though...

Let off some steam, Bennett!

That's classic stuff! Also seeing him in his swimming trunks just before that bit is absolutely marvellously hilarious.

The first post also mentioned Bloodsport - now that was a fucking great film! Can't beat a bit of Jean-Claude in his prime. It had the greatest soundtrack too. And that Chong Li guy was insane. His face when gets excited and starts jumping up and down makes me laugh and shit my pants at the same time. I certainly wouldn't like to fight him.

Commando (1985)

Postby Phillybomb on Fri Nov 23, 2007 12:38 pm

My favourite scenes in Commando, in no particular order:

* The scene where Bennett arrives for work as a humble fisherman, nearly slips off the wee rail on the side of his boat onto his face, and then gets blown up by Cooke, who has a massive remote control with him. A remote for blowing up boats.

* The bit where Jenny makes Matrix a lovely sandwich, the contents of which entirely mystify her father; "What's in this?" "You don't wanna know". Even though he buys the groceries. And can see the sandwich.

* The moment when Arnie kicks a guy in the chest with both feet after escaping from a burning, overturned car and exclaims 'eggs!'.

Now THAT's respect for a classic.

Nahhh that's not the one!!!

I remembered it though! the chick says 'where'd he go?' and Arnie replies 'I had to let him go' or something - classic

What did you do with Sully?

I let him go ;)


haha, shit I shouldn't be allowed to watch that movie any more. I think the lines are only so great because of the way Arnie delivers them :D

Haha well his voice just sounds so ridiculously manly he could say 'I'm a little fairy' and still look metal and mildly scary...


I mean, only he could get away with Junior... was it because of his wonderful acting diversity? HELL NO, it's because no one would dare mess with Arnie, he's a man of steeeeel.
