Watching Commando....
First scene - doesn't make a lick of sense
Not sure it matters... I know the rest is going to be awesome
Second scene - doesn't make a lick of sense...What ?
I can't think of a movie with an easier plot to follow.

Overall plot - yeah definitely - but just watch the first scene in isolation. Not a lick of sense.
Also - just be patient... I'm drunk, watching it for the 50th time, will be updating that post as I go... -

@MN5 I'm talking about the garbage truck assassination.
And then the random "steal a cadillac"Do I have to explain everything ?
That is VERY CLEARLY the bad guys taking out Matrix's men. Of which the guy who ran out to put the bins out was one of........
Although if I heard rubbish trucks coming on the wrong day and I was lying in bed I would think fuck it, I'll catch them next week so that scene is very silly, yes......

Exactly. I'm drunk, belligerent, and not willing to accept that sort of silly shit.
But... "if you want your kid back, you've got to cooperate, right?" ... "Wrong! boom!" - Fred Flintstoneing the pickup as @Tim put it - makes up for it all immediately. All is forgiven.

Was the salesman one of Matrix's men who'd decided to give civilian life a go as a car dealer ?
That's the only explanation I have...
In fact - I'm willing to give the 2nd scene a pass based on that.Well based on what we've seen.......
Guy get killed in his jimjams while desperately trying to get rubbish out on time.....shouldn't he have been slightly suspicious ?
other guy gets killed while focusing on a quick car sale instead of remembering his training....
and....
TWO "elite" soldiers sent to guard Matrix get killed in seconds
based on all that I think the state of the US Army in the 80s was a disgrace.

I'm not quite sure why Arnie felt the need to ( SPOILER ALERT ) rip the seat out of Rae Dawn Chongs car......I'd appreciated your take on that.
Just happened... it's so that he could sit below the line-of-sight. Despite the fact that he never actually did that after the fact.

Later on Matrix very helpfully explains that they’ll take Cooks car cos he won’t be needing it.
The reason he won’t be needing it is because he’s dead.

Where’s Sully?
I let him go.

Earlier than that Matrix catches up with Sully. After deadpanning the fact that he would kill him last after Sully jokes about molesting his daughter, he reveals that he in fact lied and drops him off a cliff
David Patrick Kelly has been a short slimeball who has died in every single movie I’ve seen him in
