Super Dated

I was -really- looking forward to seeing this again for the 1st time in 25 years but MAN is it B-movie or -what-?

I mean this was a major release movie, right? But the HUGE and obvious continuity errors are ridonculous.
--The fight scenes are total cartoon. (I think the stunt double for Bill Duke may even be a white guy in black face?)

--The car chase with the yellow Porsche? It's a wreck, but then when they drive away it's magically back intact.

It goes on and on. I just find it notable because it was -not- a cheap movie. It had a budget... and a major composer.

Just surprising that the production values were so low.

Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement... Listen, kid, we're all in it together.

Watching Commando makes me laugh. If John was here, he'd laugh too!

I gotta admit... this thing has some -great- one-liners.

This would be straight to DVD if it was made now

It's the typical cheesy 80's action movie, what were you expecting? Still tremendously enjoyable.

If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

You Lie!

No Commando started to age badly a week after it was released. Still makes it a great movie .
