Reading the character bios are almost as fun as the movie

For example

Later, Cooke was supposed to meet Sully, another member of the scheme in a hotel room. But what he got instead was a woman who claimed he was in the shower. Cooke told her to move back while he entered the room. Matrix, who was supposed to be on a plane to another country attacked him. Despite Cooke's fighting skills, he is no match for Matrix. He tried unsuccessfully to shoot him several times while being beaten.

Matrix kicked him into another room, where a well-endowed couple are making love. Cooke pointed his gun at Matrix and tried to shoot him. But it was empty. Matrix resumed beating him up.

Funny stuff. Yet another reason why "Commando" still kicks ass!

Brilliant stuff. I had no idea movies/shows had character bios.

Arius

Arius was a exiled Latin American dictator who kidnapped Jenny, the daughter of retired Special Forces Commando John Matrix. He tried to use the girl to force her father into killing the current president of his country, so he could retake control. However, this proved to be a very big mistake.

Lol no sh*t!

I liked this part also:

During this time, he and Bennett argued about the quality of Arius' men. The former dictator valued their loyalty to him, but Bennett considered them incompetent and said that he and Matrix could kill them all easily. Arius pointed out that Bennett was scared of Matrix. Bennett admitted this, but replied that he had one advantage: Jenny.

The plane arrived in Val Verde on time, but Matrix was not on it. Furious, Arius ordered Bennett to kill Jenny. However, it was too late for this, because Jenny had escaped from her room. Meanwhile, her father, who had tracked them to the island, began a one man war against Arius' army. Bennett's assertions about the quality of the soldiers proved accurate as Matrix decimated them.

Pretty great. Nice find OP. Commando is the one movie that keeps on giving long after release.
