Is that supposed to be a joke? The rest of the movie is fine up until that point. I almost spewed in my mouth haha. Makes Conan look like a Disney movie.

Ain't no goddamn takes, ain't no goddamn motion picture

It makes ME laugh. If Matrix saw it, he'd laugh too.

I always liked the part where all the pissant soldiers are unloading their machine guns into the shed, and then when they're all done shooting, one of them fires a single shot from a handgun. I would have been funny if Matrix stumbled out of the shed with a mortal wound immediately afterward.

But I guess I enjoy killing a little too much...

Felt bad for the guy who gets an axe in the balls lol

Likewise the poor dude who had his arm chopped off, reeling away on the ground gaping in horror at the bloody stump that was once his limb.

It's like the film makers put that scene in as a joke thinking the censors would take it out, but it got left in somehow. I love action movie violence - Rambo, Predator, Terminator etc, but that shed scene in Commando takes the taco. I don't know what the *beep* they were thinking with that scene. It's horrific.

Acting like you some one-man GPS

Circular saw blades make great makeshift throwing stars.

I like how the circular saw takes the top of the guy's head...leaving that big bald spot as it took off his hair!

Hair-raising scene, literally.

I read that he wanted to pick up the severed arm and hit the guy on the head with it. They nixed that

I remember Toxie from The Toxic Avenger (1984) doing something like that, ripping a guys arm off then beating him and his goons with his blood dripping arm. Pretty brutal even if it was meant as a parody of the slasher genre.

Yes! And the soldier without his arm was screaming and Matrix was hitting him with his own arm shouting 'SHATTTAAAAPPPPP'.. man that sounds like cinematic gold

Another brilliant post Steinberg...

Some say this whole movie is a joke (both in a good and bad way), so... I don't know. It's a rad scene for my money

You want something corny? You got it!

It's one of the funniest and coolest scenes of all time. The movie is much better since the legit uncut shed scene was added. Seeing the weird looking guy get scalped then "Cutting warm butter" get his arm hacked off never fails to raise a smile with me. I may have some issues...

Yeah. That was so hard core. Someone in this topic mentioned they wanted to have Arnold whack the guy in the head with his detached arm. Something like that happened in a Frankenstein comic from the 70s. Only it was a robot version of the monster that lost its arm and it uses it to whack some little trolls attacking it. It's as funny as it sounds. Anyway it is funny how easily Arnold took those guys out.

Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw

If Arnold swarsenegfardgddhhtgjjvfgjnn decided to do the axe in head scene he wouldn't have enough energy left over to fire the 6000 round belt clip at da bad guys!
