- Commando (1985) First Time Watching Movie Reaction, Review, and Commentary for JL. Many moments of admiration of Matrix's ability to live up to his name and curious thoughts as to just how much Columbian marching powder the writers were on were had.

"The main villain looks like he sings backup for Prince!' Lordy...that 'bout killed me!🤣
No - he was a lead singer for Queen...
If anyone wants to know why Vernon Wells got the role. He was the villain in Mad Max Road Warrior. They wanted to try to recapture that badass dude.
"We gotta acknowledge the fact that this man just scalped that man with a f*#kin' frisbee." Dude, you almost made me pee my pants.🤣
Commando has to be on the mt Rushmore of movies that epitomizes the 80s. Absolutely glorious
Exactly, when someone asks what an 80's action is, just tell them to watch Commando.
many 80s action movies could. Hell, I got the Cobra grips on my 1911.

JL pausing the movie to break down everything Arnold did up to the point of frisbee'ing a dudes scalp off is the best moment I've seen on this channel so far lmfao
Was about to say the same shit. WHen you do some shit like that, you know the movie is fucking looney tunes level.
"Let off some steam Bennett" one of the best lines in cinematic history!
It's up there with "stick around" and "I lied."
Wrong!
I let him go.
Is it better than remember when i said ill kill you last... I lied
"So they shot him up and got on the back of a garbage truck and took their time leaving..."
Was so waiting for you to say "Where are they, Detroit?" 🤣
The guy who plays Sully is the guy who cleaned up all the bodies in John's house in the first John Wick.
Holy crap...you're right!
we was also the guy who was "Warriors come out to play guy"
The number of one liners in this movie was awesome. This is classic Arnold. My favorite Arnie film by far.
"Please do not disturb my friend. He's DEAD tired".
The thing about Billy Duke is that he is so recognizable that even with a mask on, you can still tell it's Billy Duke.
My father's name is Billy Duke 🤣
Bill Duke looks older on commando and younger on predator
@@dameinparker7636 "I see you"
I watched another reactor watching Menace to Society and he immediately recognized Bill Duke's silhouette before he even came into the foreground lol.
This is The Most Arnie, of all the Arnold Schwarzenegger films.
And the blueprint that Every 80's action film is compared to.
Fact.
But the one unusual thing that set this movie apart was that the hero protagonist was named "John".
Excellent reaction, I especially loved when you needed to stop the movie to rant about how nuts everything was. God bless you with excellence.
The one Arnold told that he'll kill last. Well, also played in 'The Warriors'. He was the one who clicked some pop bottles together while saying, "Warriors! Come Out And Play!".
Also played T-Bird in The Crow. Patrick something, something. He's a good actor that's been in a ton of stuff and should be more well known than he is.
“PLAYEEYAY”
He was also Charlie, the cleaning guy in John Wick.
He was also in a Dennis Quaid movie called Dreamscape
@@ralphwiggum6385 Underrated 80s flick.
“This is more like a Canoe with Wings!” ….. “Well Start Paddling!” 😂😂🤣🤣💪🏽
I was 9 when this came out. It was THE badass movie with all us boys back then. As we got older we realized how ridiculous it is, but that just made it even better!
Side note: my lifelong crush on Alyssa Milano started with this movie. Lol
Same, same, and SAME!
My favorite 80s trope in this film…
Matrix shoots 173,000 rounds of ammunition (give or take) and never reloads once
The only action film I can think of with synth + steel drums as the musical theme. That’s special..
Excellent bit of recycling from James Horner there, basically just reusing his righteous score from 48 HRS. again.
@@ResidentPetrolhead It's crazy because every time I hear that score it reminds me of 48 Hours. I had no idea it was the same composer, but it makes sense now.
@@disconnexionsdotcom Yep, and when you watch the trailer for Commando they used a track from 48 hours, and for the longest time I thought it was just scratch stuff that was done for the movie that never got used. Horner had some interesting phases in his career. Some of the elements of Commando make their way into Aliens.
@@disconnexionsdotcom If you get the chance, back-to-back Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan and Krull. Horner did both of those a year apart (maybe less) and it's like he wrote 1 score and split it in half for the films. There's only a small bit of overlap, so they're not the same score, but you can tell he wrote them around the same time.
Can’t forget the steel drums in American Ninja 2. ~_~
In my life, I have never been in tears laughing at a reaction. Thank you, sir. You have made my day. 😂😂😂
Fun fact: the studio executives for this movie didn't want Arnold to talk, at all
P.S. She didn't really have karate class. She was trying to make herself sound threatening so he wouldn't mess with her.
He dressed like a back up Dancer for Prince 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
Nobody, but NOBODY can give the camera a deadpan glance the way J can. That's what I want on a t-shirt. J with a deadpan glance. I would wear that EVERYWHERE. As usual, your reactions are The Best On CZcams and you made me laugh and smile. This was so much fun to see you react to. 🙂
I’m trying to talk him into that shirt. LoL
@@EOMReacts If there is any way I could get his face on a black tank top, I would wear it to all my fitness classes. (Hooray for broader channel exposure!) "EOM" on the front, and J's face on the back. Every client behind me in barre class would want to know the scoop with who is on my shirt. 😀
Yes, Matrix's daughter was Alyssa Milano and the radar guy was Bill Paxton. Did you know that Carl Weathers from the Rocky movies and Predator had a starring role in the action movie "Action Jackson"? I love that movie and wish that more people would have appreciated and watched to that movie.
Action Jackson...I've heard of it just never watched it. I'll check it out whenever I can.
Funniest parts of this reaction: 1) the pause to rant at Blank; 2) how animated you got cursing the woman because she ratted on Matrix. 😂😂 Love the reactions. Keep after it!
Thanks to Blank for leaving in the rant. It really is a crazy movie. 🙂
I also tend to think that people laughing at JL for jump-scares, it's because the jump-scares get us, too, so its nice to see someone else jump, too. I think it's more laughter of a shared experience than mockery. 🙂
😂🤣😂🤣😂 I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again you are by far the best reactor on CZcams, your investment and reactions to bits within all films is pure entertainment. You have me in stitches from start to finish, keep up the great work & can’t wait for more videos….. 👌🏻
My nephew's name is Bennett, and when he would cry, as a baby, I would just say "Let off some steam, Bennett!!" Also, when you paused after Matrix scalps the dude with the saw blade, and went on your tangent, I laughed my ass off!!
Movie aside, James Horners music in this is also frigging awesome
Raw Deal (1986) is another one of Arnold's earlier movies you might wanna check out.
This movie is kind of a satire of the action movie genre because it is so over the top. It was released when I was an early teen and we watched it on VHS a couple of times that day. A lot of the fun was just pointing out all the times Matrix or Cindy would have died or been badly injured, and laughing at the way he waded through all those bullets without taking a hit, aside from a flesh wound that had no effect.
Also check out the Nostaglia Critic's video on "Commando". He has much the same opinion of it but does a better job of explaining it.
Great reaction J Man! Couldn't stop the laughing during the course of your reaction 🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
"The main villain look like he sing back-up for Prince." 😂😂🤣🤣
I LIED! 😂
I can't explain it, but JL has the ability to make you happy just because something has made him happy. I have 5 brothers, one of them also has this ability and everyone likes him. But I'm not jealous or resentful or anything.😅
He threw a steel pipe through guts, spine, and a metal steam tank. Still the most unbelievable thing is he only got shot once in the arm.
Logic is a unused concept in the best late 20th century movies so glad I was born in 75 all these movies were right on time
This movie was batshit insane! I loved every second of it as a kid. Arnie also went nuts in Raw Deal! >_
This movie is absolutely perfect. Of course it's ridiculous, but it's perfect. It is exactly what you expect it to be and it delivers in spades. I have seen it probably 20 times or 30 times, and I never get tired of it. It's just the epitome of stupid, ridiculous action movies of the 80s, and it's glorious.
as many people have said, this might not be the best arnold movie, but it is the *most* arnold movie!
"i have to remind you sully, this is my weak arm." 😆😅😂🤣
I don't know, a case can certainly be made for this being the best.
@@wantutosigh1117 agreed. it might not be the best, but it also might very well be!
I love this movie, it is the epitome of 80's action. The motivation for what Matrix does works for me. Loved your reaction and your rant, BTW it was a circular saw blade he shaved the top of that guys head off with. Whenever you say "Shuddup" or "Don't Laugh" it makes me laugh even if I wasn't laughing. Thanks J & B.
It’s a frisbee. 😂
@@traveldoc1234 🤣
Same. All his catch phrases like those two, thanks for playing and shud the f up make me laugh a lot. J and his crew are an absolute delight. ❤🇨🇦🩵
I had a teacher in middle school who would quote Commando, so I knew every iconic line before I ever saw this piece of 80's madness 😅
Also, David Patrick Kelly (Sully) is always a treat, even in small roles like this.
"Warriors, come out to play"
when you did that rant and said he beat up the whole security in the county i never laughed that hard in years 😮😲🤣🤣🤣🤣
he said you can’t work at McD’s and be called Matrix lol had me dead 💀
“And the main villain looks like he sings back up for Prince! “ 😂
One of the pinnacles of 80's action movies. They must have had a team of people thinking of different ways to kill bad guys. The internet says he dispatched about 87 of them.
Therant near the end made me lose it 😂😂 As a kid I believed every minute of this movie lol
Your impersonation of the guy who had the top of his head sliced off at the shed door just about finished me off! "He was Surprised!" 😂😂😂This, like all the rest of your reactions... Was the best one yet! You smashed the fourth wall down with this one
Just looked it up. Arnie had a kill count of between 81 and 87 for this movie.
“He out in the open. This is some Call of Duty s***”
😂😂😂
Love that movie. So happy I was a kid in the 80s..
I was just about to go to bed but I've laughed at this so much I'm not tired now. Hilarious 😂
Arnold went on a kill streak like that one dude in your Call of Duty Lobby that plays like they're online 16 hours a day.
Man, this review is in my top 3 list, of the best reviews ever made on the internet 👏😄
I'm crying 😂 Love Ur work out there 🙌
Please do some more 80 and early 90 movies reviews, there's a lot of cocaine gems in there 😄
And I wish Ur Mama a Happy B Day, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Wish U all the best, and keep it up.
Ur the Man
Disbelief is required to watch this movie with so much cheese it’s brilliant 😂
You mean, suspension of disbelief.
I wore this VHS out as a kid. So many good 1 liners and great action. Can't wait to hear you say "Shut the F%$@ up" countless times 🤣😅🤣😅🤣
I have never laughed as much at an action movie as this! Thank you!!!🤣
29:30
"Do he need all this?"
No, but he's going to use all of it.
"What happened to Sully?"
"I let him go."
This movie is utterly ridiculous.
Commando is the over the top cheese fest we all deserve now and then. Glad you had fun with it.
I haven't seen this in years, an Arnold 80's classic! As always another great reaction J and Blank does such a great job editing!!! Much love from Oregon💚😄
"My bad. Your leg, balls and nipples gonna fall off" 😂😂😂 when describing the medicine commercials. They always speed run through the side effects at the end lol and make you wonder if worth it to even use in the first place.
The action at the end reminded me of Hot Shots 2, you really need to watch those movies, some of the best comedy out there, in the spirit of Airplane!.
That cocaine cabinet is gonna be filled soon!! May need to hit up IKEA for a new one! Thanks for another epic reaction JL and amazing editing by Blank. Much love!!
Feats of Matrix in Commando:
- Carried log over his shoulder.
- Pulled handgun from holster of commanding officer coming to visit WITH a whole platoon of armed soldiers.
- SMELLED the villains before the attack at his home.
- Flat out shot the messenger in the head then pushed his Bronco down a mountain to chase the villains.
- Throwing out jokes while his daughter is kidnapped and getting on a plane.
- Easily killed his captor on an airplane without alerting anyone.
- Jumped from said plane and falling into a swamp who knows how shallow.
- Ripped girl’s car seat out while crouched next to said car within 5 seconds.
- Beat numerous security guards down.
- Ripped phone booth out of the floor/wall and flipped it with someone still inside.
- Participated in a car chase.
- Drove head on into a telephone pole, totaling the car but in the same second was checking on the girl in the floorboard of the car next to him (she was a superhero too for not getting hurt there).
- Absolutely manhandled Sully.
- Beat down ol’ Duke while throwing out jokes.
- Ripped off chain on locked fence within 5 seconds.
- Knocked out guards.
- Another car crash in gun store.
- Survived getting blown up by a rocket launcher.
- Did he rip out of the handcuffs at this point? I didn’t see and don’t remember from previous viewing of movie.
- Still making jokes.
- Gun fight with two guys in Jeep while leaning out of parked plane.
- Makes it to a hostile island filled with enemy soldiers, proceeds to change clothes, apply camouphlage makeup and load all weapons on beach in the open.
- Killed EV-E-R-Y-ONE on island in all out assault using arsenal he stole.
- When running low on ammo and outnumbered, he steps into a tool shed and proceeds to cut off limbs, tops of heads and stabbing people with potentially dull gardening equipment found in said shed.
- Running while shooting M60 accurately.
- Threw heavy duty steam pipe at least 6 feet long through villain’s chest / spine and into steam tank behind him, impaling him (I bet the pipe was also very hot when he threw it).
- Ended movie with badass comment .
All this was within a timeframe of, what, a day? Maybe two days? This man would be an amazing opponent for ANY other movie character, let alone the Bride. She was awesome, but her feats of cutting off limbs was done with the amazing and legendary Hanzo sword, not old gardening tools. I’ve always loved this movie and this is my favorite Arnold look out of all his movies (the dress up montage before final confrontation).
In his final assault on the compound, you can see like cardbord cutouts of the soldiers in the building explosions, and also he ends up killing the same extras over and over since they only got so many people to play the soldiers. You can especially notice a guy with a big mustache.
Those soldiers put those cardboard cutouts there and went home, because they heard Matrix was coming.
Best part...."He's carrying a tree. He's carrying a freshly cut tree."
38:52 This is the part of the film where Matrix gets married and starts having more babies.
Yes, that was Bill Paxton and he was certainly the guy from Terminator, he was also in Aliens, Predator 2 and pretty much all the other late 80's and early 90's action movies.
His voice is so recognizable. I keep thinking of him as that nasty juicy frog in Weird Science
I loved this movie as a kid...now it's one of the most comical action movies to watch, but I still can't stop watching it.
I love fun movies like Commando, but your reaction is better than the movie, so thanks for this wild ride.😅
Hopefully you haven't seen "Running Man" (1987), because it would be great to see at some time your reaction to this fun movie too.
Bennet was wearing a stab vest. Basically chain mail and the thing he threw was a rotary blade I think
Dockers were a hit back then , you could save the day any time. This is early, can't wait for the shed scene.
I always forget how much I love these movies until I watch someone who’s never seen them enjoy them!
The ice cream cone covering your mouth during any bad language was classic.😅
seen this when i was about 10 yrs old. Oh so many hours spent playing "commando" & "rambo" in the woods!
I really like this movie with Arnold, I often watched it on TV as a child) In the film, a young Bill Paxton appeared in a cameo role back then.
Sully final line when he screams to his death is "Ooh La La". The chainmail vest was actually knitted and made for a different actor, but with changes and time constraints they didn't have time to make one for Vernon Wells. Die Hard the movie was ment to be Commando 2, Arnold dropped out of the casting and rewrites were done so Bruce got the job so Arnold=Matrix and Bruce=Mcclain are the same person.
"The main villain look like he sing backup for Prince."
Oh god I needed that laugh.. 🤣
I thought it was freddy mercury
Haha, yeah when I saw this in the 80's my favorite part was the circular saw blade cutting off the top of that guys head! Glad it tripped you out so much you had to pause and rant!!😅😂🤣
Yelp. The Bill Paxton...himself. I had forgotten he did a cameo appearance.
Bro this was the funniest I've laughed at any of your videos! This is literally one of my favorite movies. I recite every line whenever I watch it. So glad you got to experience it. Cheers.
Bro that shit was HILARIOUS. your comments were golden.
Thats the thing about 80s movies - you didnt have to think, you just watched
Nah! That was one of the blades from the electric saws! He throw it like a shuriken!
The actor that played Bennett has the best action fashion of the 80s
38:48 "Hey, Honey, this is your new mum."
LMAO!
The cool thing is The Terminator came out 1 year before this one, and he already, he is continuing on his quest to get the most mileage out of the line, "I'll Be Back". Here's the list of movies he has used that very same line:
1. The Terminator (1984)
2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
3. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
4. Terminator Genisys (2015)
5. Commando (1985) ***** This one *****
6. Raw Deal (1986)
7. The Running Man (1987)
8. Twins (1988)
9. Total Recall (1990)
10. Kindergarten Cop (1990)
11. Last Action Hero (1993)
12. Junior (1994)
13. Jingle All The Way (1996)
14. The 6th Day (2000)
15. The Expendables 2 (2012)
So, along with this one, he used that same line in 15 movies ... so far.
The best reaction I’ve ever seen. Your breakdown had me in tears.
The main villain looks like he sings backup for Prince. 😂🤣😂🤣😅
Meet your new mom, lol. hilarious reaction, I loved this movie as a kid. It’s so 80s and action Arnold
"He better dislocate her hip" 😂😂😂😂
Now that he's seen Commando I am crossing my fingers for a Last Action Hero reaction.
There’s a reason for all the Arnold movies this far. LoL
True Lies and Running Man will prob come first. But Last Action Hero is 1000% coming. Had to put him thru the Arnold boot camp first to make it as good as possible. LoL
@@EOMReacts YES! I'm pumped. 2023 is already off to a fantastic start. :)
Commando: The inspiration for every first person shot!!!
The Porsche is the tuffest character. It gets crushed on one side, next scene it's fine, hahahahaha. Love this silly little movie
One of my favorite reactors watching the silliest Arnold movie ever. Just what the doctor ordered for Friday afternoon.
Well said.
"Silliest Arnold movie ever"? Not sure you've seen all of his movies then.
@@wantutosigh1117 Running Man is on that list as well. But I am talking about is main stream movies, that are not meant to be comedies.
@@ChrisMillerCrazyHouse You do understand that Commando absolutely has a sense of humor right?
@@wantutosigh1117 It's hilarious. One of the funniest films I have ever seen. If I am having a rough week I can always put Commando on and enjoy the hell out of it.
At 13:32 my dude went into fight mode, when that dog came out no where he had catch these hands mode lol.
Everything Arnold does it looks effortless like he wakes up every day and I'm this character today and it's going to look epic
Laser Mission with Brandon Lee has the same vibe as this movie. So much action, unrelenting cheese, walking off bullet wounds. Fun stuff.
The greatest of the 1980s One Man Army movies.
That muscle is called pectoralis claviculus 😂
@32:00 is the most amazing, and funny description of a film I've ever seen.
Actual tears of laughter when you where talking about how surprised buddy was when he caught a side fade.😂😂😂😂
According to the List Of Death's Wiki, Matrix had 102 kills.
That's one fast Triumph Spitfire to keep up with a Porsche lol
