	Filmtracks: Commando (James Horner)
		Commando: (James Horner) By 1985, Arnold Schwarzenegger was determined to take on an acting roll in which he could not only kick butt, but also show a softer side not seen in The Terminator or the two Conan films.
		Despite using these mainstream films to accelerate his career rise, Horner was still earning his salary composing for some wretchedly hideous films as well.
		The love theme, for the daughter's character, is heard only at the beginning and end of the film, and represents the only moment when the small orchestra exists apart from the electronics.

	Tokyo Raiders Review - HellNinjaCommando.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The film begins with some unexplained, but energy building fights that get the viewer prepared for the film's style then introduces us to our three main characters in a logical, plot-building fashion.
		It seems that development of characters has been replaced by the changing image of the characters with revelations that come in the film, which is particularly fitting for a light film such as this.
		The action in the film may be dissappointing to some in some ways, but it is very cool in others.Some will be disappointed that it uses a lot of close up and quickly cut shots, making the action less clear.

	Midnight Eye review: Samurai Commando: Mission 1549 ('Sengoku Jieitai 1549', 2005, Masaaki TEZUKA)
		Usually such a film sums up everything the studio is about, or rather how it would like to see itself, resulting in some sprawling would-be epic that is the textbook example of producer's cinema.
		The Sonny Chiba-starring film, with its godawful synth-driven title ballad, was one of those typical products of the era when the fl sheep of the Kadokawa family, Haruki - who would later spend time in the pen for cocaine smuggling - filled the vacuum of the post-studio era with one inane, high-concept moneyspinner after another.
		As heroes are wont to do in films like these, Kashima is more than a little reluctant, still carrying the emotional burden of the accidental death of a colleague, an event for which he blames himself and which led to his departure from the military.

	Commando - Music from the Movies
		However, Commando is an interesting early effort at a time when Horner composed three totally different scores; Cocoon, The Journey Of Natty Gann and Volunteers (the latter two virtually begging for a release and yet remain in the vaults of some film company executive).
		The difference between Commando and the previous two scores is that Commando is far noisier, has no subtle romantic themes (other than a brief theme in the main title) and uses repeated synth rhythms far more.
		In the film Horner’s score fades away during the final confrontation between Matrix and Bennett and the end titles feature a dreadful song; repeating the main title rounds off the album well and provides and excellent finish.

	Commando Cody Speaks: An Interview with George Wallace page 2
		Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe, a 26-minute featurette, was released theatrically in 1953.
		I gave them the film; they said, "Hang around, we want to take a look at it." I was there until about 3:00 p.m., and I was getting ready to go home.
		I remember the miniature of Commando Cody's rocketship which is about three or four feet long, that you see in its actual size at the end of the show, when it plows through the window and hits Billy Bakewell in the stomach.

		DeSouza completed a script for "Commando II" for Joel Siver, set in Downtown LA as more of an "urban thriller", but this was dropped when Schwarzenegger failed to commit to the project and the movie was re-worked entirely for another rising action star, Bruce Willis.

	Commando (1985)
		Plot Outline: A retired commando has his daughter kidnapped by an exiled dictator and one of his old commando buddies and is told that he must kill the president of a country in order for her to be released.
		Commando is an enjoyable action film right up until the completely unbelievable climax where it turns into a complete and utter farce.
		Final Verdict: Commando is excellent "Arnie in his prime" but leave your brain and disbelief behind before you check in.

		“Commando Attack” is probably among the worst of the slew of commando movies to “grace” the late 1960s, distinguishable only because of the appearance by screen legend Michael Rennie (!) and a superb Bruno Nicolai score.
		American commandos are given three days to locate and destroy a radio station in Normandy.
		The “commandos” are all volunteers, mostly misfits and off-kilter types, immediately bringing to mind the dregs of the famed “Dirty Dozen”.

		Commando was released by 20th Century Fox to anxious crowds on Oct. 4, 1985.
		During the big shoot-out near the end of the film, Matrix is using an M-60 machine gun which repeatedly acquires more ammo (the ammo belt is replenished) even though Matrix has no spare ammo with him, nor any time to reload.
		The acting in 'Commando' is spot-on: Arnie is absolutely convincing as the unstoppable one-man army Matrix, Vernon Wells is sly and depraved as Bennett, Dan Hedaya as Arius conveys ruthless authority, and Rae Dawn Chong as Cindy is precisely comical enough.

		Now Bennett (played by Vernon Wells, in a remarkably flamboyant performance) is back and has kidnapped Matrix's beloved daughter.
		Commando works on just about every level - from the hilariously over-the-top action sequences to the brutal violence - but hands down, it's the script that makes Commando such a gem.
		Plenty of movies have tried to emulate the ease with which Commando unfolds, but never quite as successfully.

	DVD Times - Samurai Commando Mission 1549 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pure nonsense, it was a sci-fi/action movie hybrid which saw a modern day Japanese military unit unwittingly sent back to the 16th century where they were able to demonstrate their superior firepower over the two-hour plus running time.
		Samurai Commando, a 2005 remake, reconfigures this plotline only slightly; the essentials remain the same, yet here the focus is on the rescue mission put into action to prevent our time travellers from irreparably changing the future.
		Rather it’s the physical and technical side of things which are given the greater mention and as such tend to provoke a loss of interest early on.

		Arnie is a retired elite commando, he has 10 hours to save his daughter from an evil dictator, he's quite cross.
		An Arnie action flick which you could be forgiven for confusing with any one of a dozen strikingly similar muscle-bound fight fests.
		The Hours somehow changed my perception of myself and those around me. The film has such a sad (yet marvellous) ending that you can't help but think about your own life.

	Cinema Strikes Back - Covering the World of Film » Commando: Bollywood Ninja Action
		In Commando, Mithun plays Chander, a guy who was trained by his father since childhood to become a top soldier (mostly by doing wiggly push-ups that my gym teacher would never have let me get away with).
		During the film’s somewhat tedious second act, Mithun is promoted to the rank of officer and wins the respect of his comrades through various feats of bravery, while at the same time falling in love with Asha.
		All of the film’s action scenes — even the ones without ninjas — feature the same kind of minimally choreographed high-energy brawls and explosions for their own sake that make 1970s Turkish cinema so much fun.

	Trappola diabolica (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Well while I agree that Strike Commando was one of the worst action movies ever, it also has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious films ever.
		Although the film does simultaneously rip off Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, Predator, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, AND Romancing the Stone, the funniest aspect has to be how Mattei cranked up the camera speed for all the fight scenes to make them look faster.
		This film was made almost simultaneously with about seven other Bruno Mattei films, somewhere after Zombi 3 and Double Target, but before Robowar and Cop Game, judging by which stock footage appears in which film.

	Review for Commando
		In Arnold's breakthrough film (at least in terms of him having spoken lines in a movie), he is pitted against a gang of thugs commanded by Arius, an evil dictator who wants to regain his political power by assassinating the current leader (it's explained in the movie for about two minutes).
		Matrix is literally a one man army, and literally takes on an army (see the last twenty minutes of the film).
