Has anyone else seen this brilliant slice of 80s cheese which created the greatest movie villian in Bennett?

Not only have I seen 'Commando,' but I'm going 'commando' as I type this!
Not really.
BUT . . . did you know that the movie's screenwriter was none other than Jeph Loeb, current comic book superstar, and author of such other films as 'Teen Wolf'?
Nice guy. He was very tolerant of my inebriated self at Wizard-World Chicago a few years ago. On the last full day of the con, I bid on some art in an auction to benefit the scholarship for his son who died at a young age of cancer by holding up my newly purchases plastic Mjolnir during the bidding. I think that moment inspired his return to Marvel . . .

ROTFL And the 2IGTV Rhetorical Question Award 2008 goes to Cpt. Winters. Anyone attempting other Rhetorical Question's of the same ilk such as "has anyone else seen Aliens or Predator?" in order to gain the coveted award next year will be summarily disqualified from all 2IGTV related completions forever.
However it's great to discuss the movies such as Commando which made us the people we are today! So long may it continue.
My favourite part is where Matrix scalps his enemy with an improvised shuriken in the form of a buzz-saw blade.
There's a memorable movie-goof in the same battle where you can see the spring-board used by a dude caught in an "explosion".
My favourite Arnie One-Liner is in this movie where Cindy asks where Sully went and Matrix replied "I let him go!" (he dropped him off the cliff).
Even the filthy imagination of a young adolescent mind couldn't have imagined that "Jenni Matrix" would grow up to be the smokin'-hot sex-vixen Alyssa Milano - Oh Momma!!!

"I like you sully,that's why i'll kill you last" it features the only toolshed scene that may be better than Evil Dead 2.

Thanks, you guys. Thanks. I've barely had my 5 cups of coffee (the latest of which has gone cold and the microwave is busted), I have to work today (On a Sunday!) I've had to yell at 4 kids and 2 parents (within the past 5 minutes), endure a conversation by my juniors that makes me feel a wretched old crone (including momentarily (temporarily!) forgetting Boba Fett's name), and now this. I should know better than to read this forum and try to sip a drink at the same time. And it's my bowling league night and my team is the losingest. After only one set of games.
Colonel, my good pal gyno-American Hillary Rodham Clinton will be on her way to personally escort you to re-education camp.
