In 1980, Arnold Schwarzenegger was starring in the made-for-TV movie The Jayne Mansfield Story. By 1990, he was Hollywood's biggest box-office star. In the 10 intervening years, the Governator redefined the action film with the Conan movies, The Terminator, Predator and Total Recall. And 1985's Commando ranks up there with the best of them, with the body count (85, according to the figure on the DVD) piling up as quickly as Arnie's deadpan one-liners. From the moment retired Army commando John Matrix (Schwarzenegger) jumps from the wheel bay of an airborne jetliner taking off at 200 miles an hour, lands in a marsh and emerges wet but unscathed, it's clear that Commando doesn't take itself seriously in any way. That's what makes it so fun to watch. Matrix is a retired Army commando whose daughter (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by a deposed South American leader as leverage to get Matrix to assassinate the new president. Of course, Matrix has other plans, dispatching the kidnapper's campy henchmen by the dozen as he races the clock to get his daughter back. Vernon Wells almost steals the show as psychopathic bad guy Bennett, who turned to the dark side after being trained by Matrix, and who -- as mentioned in the DVD extras -- seems to have a serious man-crush on his foe. (His leather and chain mail wardrobe looks like "Freddy Mercury on steroids.") Rae Dawn Chong, as Matrix's initially reluctant sidekick Cindy, sets up Arnie's double-entendre jokes perfectly, as when Matrix drops one bad guy off a cliff. "What'd you do with Sully?" Cindy asks. Matrix answers: "I let him go." Classic.
