A few "fun" thoughts on Commando

Thoughts about Commando
Reliving the classic, 23 years later.
Been 23 years since I've seen it, and woo HD actually brings out all the nasty flaws !
1. Interesting how the first guy didn’t have a gun ready in the first part of the film inside the girls room.
2. Did he have to rip out the Seat?
3. How cheesy were the sound effects :P (Rocket Launcher). Some of the sounds were decent and located well though.
4. I like the 80s movie rules how everyone just leaves the keys in the ignition.
5. Lol since when do they do have random supply depots with Rocket Launchers and every weapon available? Every Arnold movie there’s always a weapons depot.
6. I love the blue screen effect outline around Matrix and Cindy in the “canoe airplane”.
7. The Mansion has a great familiarity in Max Payne.
8. Far Cry and many other video games and films have been inspired by things in this film.
9. Cheesy one liners. Arnie has the best one liners evarr.
10. Enormous amount of strength for any human to rip out telephone booths, push over cars, push 8 guys off of your back!
11. Matrix is carrying as many weapons a& equipment as a DOOM or Unreal character, i.e. not normally humanly practical: (Please give me correct names if you know guns well!)
1. Assault Rifle 2. 4-Rocket Launcher 3. M9 Beretta 4. Grenades 5. Combat Knife 6. C4 Mines 7. Binoculars 8. Shotgun Shells/Shotgun 6. Uzi 7. Throwing knives 8. Dart gun?
12. Love the Explosion! You can tell the guys were total dummies/mannequins with HD resolution revealing their fake faces and also falling stiffly in HD during the big explosion, har har har
13. Chopping off that arm made me laugh out loud. (So fake looking!)
14. Weapons used later: M16, Sawblades, pitchfork, gardening axe. Belt-fed SAW or some RPD machine gun, pipe.
15. Funny how Bennett gets electrocuted but comes out faster immediately after, wouldn’t he be extremely unconscious or disoriented at least?
16. Color was very washed out. Upped PICTURE/Contrast to max, and brightness reduced to 47, saturation of color to 63. It definitely had the 80s look to it still. Could have been reworked, quality was eww, but tolerable and still better than TV or dvd. The trailers of the original pretty much showed how much worse the quality was before, so I'm still ok with it.

All in all this preserved my 1985 memory. My dad was a war veteran so he had no qualms about showing me cool Arnold flicks at 5 years old .
