I got to spend a few minutes talking to Rae Dawn Chong about this movie at a Bed and Breakfast in New Orleans we were both staying at a few years ago. She was there with her boyfriend who was a pilot. Delightful conversation. The boyfriend later disappeared while flying over the Bermuda Triangle never to be seen again.
A fun ’80s comedy.
I love drinking every time he blows someone to smithereens!
The art of action movie one-liners peaked with this film.
Mustaches are to be worn at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS.
it’s a great movie if you want to let off some steam
Random fun fact, that 4 tube rocket launcher is actually meant to be a long range flamethrower that replaced the M2 flamethrower! Was not super super used because it was still bulky and the ammo was unreliable but still neat.
It just got added to hulu or netflix the other day and I watched it for like the 60th time. I was 2 when it came out, probably watched it when I was 5 and my 8 year old brother put it on. Spent my whole life training to smell the enemy if I was down wind from them. So Far they have yet to sneak up on me.
Used to watch this one with my Dad as a kid everytime it came on.
This and Predator were two of our favorite Arnold movies.
I remember watching this as a kid for the first time and seeing Arnold casually carrying a giant fucking tree over his shoulder in the opening scene. Knew I was in for a treat.
They don’t make action movies like this any more.
Cheesy dialogue, bad acting, ridiculous plot…This is a bad movie on paper.
BUT IT”S A FUCKING AWESOME TIME
“What happened to Sully?” — “I let him go.”
recently discovered that Sully from this movie is in John Wick. He’s the old man who John pays to dispose of the bodies.
**STEEL DRUMS**
Just in this clip there are two things that make this movie stand out. First, as always, out of shape Vernon Wells as the main edit: ~~protagonist~~ **antagonist** and ex super soldier. Second, the great practical effects of claymores placed next to the buildings blowing up from the interior as obvious mannequins in army clothes stand next to the huge blasts.
I watched this movie yesterday. Girlfriend said “I regret giving you the TV remote”.
I owned this on VHS as a kid and watched it weekly. “Remember when I promised to kill you last?… I lied.”
And with no CGI, this holds up as one of the best movie of all times.
I prefer the musical – https://youtu.be/8FFQ_g8OoQM
The most violent movies set to a playful carribbean beat soundtrack.
You gotta love the part where he planted a frag device near the house, in a stupid place, armed it, then walked directly in front of it.
“I read the instructions.”
The stunts in this movie were some of the worst ever put to film. You can see the launch plates that stuntmen use right before they fly into the air. Other props are obvious. Explosions are utterly ridiculous. Editing is sloppy and skips crucial parts of scenes. The bad guy looks like he’d lose a fight with an angry poodle.
And it doesn’t matter. This film is pure gold from start to finish. EVERYTHING that Arnold is best known for is front and center in this film. The one liners, the muscles, the fights, the angry stares. This might be the ultimate 80’s movie.
*They kidnapped his daughter.*
*Bad Move.*
Man, forget Arnold. I was 11 when this movie came out and it had Alyssa Milano in it
Fun fact: to stay in character Arnold I didn’t wear underwear the entire movie.
Let off some steam, Bennet!
Steel drum main theme was on fucking point.
​
Also best Arnold lines of any movie.
“Don’t disturb my friend, he is dead tired”.
​
“You’re funny sully, that’s while I’ll kill you last”.
<later on in movie>
“Hey sully, remember when I told you I would kill you last?” ::as he hangs the fucker over a cliff by his foot::
“Yeah matrix you did, you did!!!”
“I lied”
:drops him: and that “I lied” was pure ice cold Arnold “I’ll be back” level energy.
​
See for yourself.
