Back when hollywood understood entertainment. And also human nature. A man's inner will to take on the whole world. I know that's how I feel often in this world. That's why many people hold this movie dear. What goes on on screen is what goes on in a man's heart. They bring out one of the most human aspects of humanity. This movie is beautiful.

@adamn75162 жыл бұрын
There were "agendas" in films back then if you went looking for them. Even this film black actress playing a lead in a big budget film opposite one of the biggest white stars in the world as a quasi love interest was a milestone. Even Bill Duke eludes to this fact in this very interview. Films have always had agendas but in some cases depended on which side of the agenda you were on as to whether you picked up on it. Not to mention unless someone pointed it out many didn't realize it. With the internet and social media we have easy access to the opinions of millions of ordinary people and take queues from that. People have just become more aware due to the social media echo chambers they hang around in.

Commando was the second movie I bought on VHS (the first was The Last Starfigter), and I still have it now. Commando's still a unique action movie. Even the cover is a cool looking army green colour. One part of the movie I've never understood, though, is why is Bennet wearing a knitted grey vest? It is supposed to be chain mail? It makes him look like more of a weirdo than a tough guy.
@tomservo53472 жыл бұрын
It was supposed to be a punkish chainmail outfit except the previous actor playing Bennett (that was replaced by Vern) was twice as small as Vern. So Vern had to wear the chainmail that was way too small for him but he made it work.
