Commando (film)/YMMV

"Mook: (Waving Jenny's "I Love You Daddy" Father's Day card in Matrix's face) If you want your kid back then you gotta cooperate, right?
 * Crazy Awesome: John Matrix. The whole film, actually.
 * Creepy Child: Jenny is remarkably serene after being threatened and  
 * Crosses the Line Twice: Arnie slaughtering an island full of soldiers? Hilarious.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: John Matrix runs into a lot of these.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: James Horner's steel drum score. It is no surprise that the score album sold out in one day (still the record for the fastest sellout in the history of La-La Land Records)?
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Sully. The dude is a Casanova Wannabe with a humiliating memetic death. Also helps that he has an epic comeback when shot down by a woman.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: This movie is extremely popular in Japan.
 * Hilarity Ensues: From this point on in the film, it's all a barrel of laughs:

Matrix: Wrong. (Shoots the Mook)"

""Remember when I said I would kill you last?"
 * If you can watch the entire Storming the Castle sequence without laughing, you have no soul.
 * Ho Yay: Perhaps the most unintentionally homoerotic movie ever made, particularly where Bennett is concerned. "I DON'T NEED THE GIRL!"
 * Memetic Mutation:

"I Lied.""


 * The Scrappy: Cindy's clearly there for sex appeal and comic relief. How successful she is at either of those WILL vary depending on the viewer.
 * So Bad It's Good: Hammy and goofy, but very awesome.
 * Special Effects Failure:
 * When Arnie is holding Sully over a cliff, you can clearly see the wire running up his pants. It's that kind of movie.
 * Several of Arnie's grenades send soldiers flying through the air. Not only is the explosion itself a) a huge distance from the soldiers and, b) relatively small in comparison to the results, but the soldiers are "clearly" shown being launched off hydraulic platforms, with the propulsion rods on obvious display, as well as the grass mats used to disguise them shown flying as well.
 * All the guns in this movie practically have no recoil. At all. Arnie fires a machine gun one handed, and he barely misses.
 * When Matrix wraps Cindy's car around a telephone pole at the end of the car chase with Sully, the head on a dummy filling in for Cindy separates from the rest of the dummy body and flies into the air. (watch it frame-by-frame)
 * Did anybody notice the dummy soldiers standing at attention outside the island's buildings throughout the massive explosion near the end of the movie? There are multiple opportunities to see the obvious mannequins, since this explosion is shown multiple times from multiple angles, and several of the shots are duplicated.
 * Those same explosions are supposed to have been caused by a few claymore mines that Matrix placed outside a few buildings... but all the buildings are seen exploding from the inside.
 * WTH? Casting Agency: Bennett is supposed to be John's only rival when it comes to being a One-Man Army. So why did they cast a guy whose muscle mass is at most a tenth of Arnold's?
 * You don't need huge muscles in order to fire a gun... but of course, Bennett DON'T NEED NO GUN! I'M GONNAH KILL YOU NAAAAOOOO!!!!
