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.

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...You mean the one where the guy goes out with his rubbish bin and gets shot up by Cook? What part is hard to follow man!

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

He ended up with the Girl Band after stalking them in Ford Fairlane rock n roll detective

Loves Arnie
I think he's an under-rated actor. Does great action stuff but also great comedy too. Watched him in Aftermath a few years back and he was excellent in a straight, serious role.
-
Right, so - I don't remember much of last night - pretty sure I didn't even manage to finish watching Commando - so giving it another go now. (Imagine how drunk some fluffybunny must be to not finish Commando! Or to forget it.)
Starting from the point where he's rowing to shore - with a completely clear ocean behind him. -

I can't believe I'm saying this (to you). But if you are concerned about the transparency of seawater in an Arnie movie you simply aren't drinking enough.
-
@nostrildamus I didn't mean the ocean water was transparent - but the horizon was clear. He was supposed to be rowing towards the island... but... no island in sight.
Your sentiment holds true regardless, I guess. -

Maybe this is the start of an Arnie-palooza, discussion about all of his best films.....
I never noticed before, but is that actually real footage from the movie?
Mac is one tough sumbitch, and he's screaming as he's firing. Arnie looks like he's just chilling

…….and good old Billy in the background.
He’s worth a google and how he was on the set of Predator. Sounds like a lunatic.
Throw in Jesse the body Ventura and Carl Weathers……wow, what a cast of units !!!
