I love the bits where he puts the vest on over a bare chest, puts three black stripes of “camo” on his face, then goes into the fight. When he unzips his vest, he has camo stripes on his chest.
What the heck? Does he have some sort of heat-activated camo transfer on the inside of that vest?
Imagine my disappointment when I enlisted to discover Claymores weren’t remote detonated and couldn’t destroy a multilevel timber abode…
Thats because your not at a unit that can remote det,
O’h snap that remote det ……
Thats because your not at a unit that can remote det,
Or that there wasn’t quad m72 rocket launchers.
M202 Flash.
Also the M74 Incendiary that used the M202 Flash quad canisters.
ok i stand corrected and by the way that’s a cool rocket launcher
There was an experimental version of the M202 that fired LAW rockets but it didn’t go anywhere. The M202 was reloadable too.
They still have those in storage, wonder if they will ever get pulled out like the recoilless rifles. 😛
I thought they were all pulled and disposed of in the mid to late 80s because the propellant was leaking. I heard that it lead to a few “training accidents” when Soldiers tried to fire the system.
Yeah, I saw one of those “training accidents” when I was on a Live-fire RangeEx in Alberta… *shudder* Fortunately, the poor fellow was ultimately OK but the Range Officer(after declaring “Never again”) said the the guy was “reeeeeal lucky on that one”. Recoilless Rifle – glad to see that one(like Arnie) “is back”. Packs a helluva good 1-2 punch…
Dude, I’ve got that one on DVD! I don’t have to wait for it to run on late-night TV.
One of my favorite lines in Commando – “Remember I told you I’d save you till last? I lied”. Granted, not THE most memorable Schwartzeneger-movie line but definitely one of his better ones…
(tip of the hat) – Mine too, good sir!
I’m a fan of “let off some steam Bennett”.
“Where’s Sully?”
“I let him go.”
Ok its time for the Commando musical now 😉
Commando: The Musical (Arnold Schwarzenegger): http://youtu.be/8FFQ_g8OoQM
Ok this guy should get the Internet bolo babge… That is awesome i tip my hat at you
Predator: The Musical is a far finer rendition. Look it up.
agreed 😀
I love the part where he fights Freddie Mercury. http://cheezburger.com/2401979648
Always wanted a Crain knife after that movie, too bad the guy that made them is, shall we say, less than respectable in the knife trade….
Still waiting for Commando with Rifftrax. Mike, Kevin, and Bill I’m going to need you to get on that…
Personal friends know why I like that movie.
Both Predator and Commando take place in Val Verde.
General Esperanza in Die Hard 2 is from Val Verde too…
Sweet
STICK AROUND is my favorite.
Remember when I said that I would kill you last, I lied. that’s my runner up.
bad ass movie for one liners.
GET TO THE CHOPPA!!
My kids loose their freakin’ minds whenever Predator comes on.
“I eat Green Berets for breakfast”
And right now I’m VERY hungry!
Great movie. But seriously, the lamest villain ever
Let off some steam. 😀
“Don’t disturb my friend…he’s dead tired.”
So many amazing moments. Just after that scene he jumps off the plane and it’s cleary a dummy flailing in the wind. Then it cuts to Arnold basically jumping off a 6′ step ladder and landing in the swamp.
Then there’s the amazing self repairing Porsche.
