(1985) Commando.
ACTION.
The film that revolutionized how action films were made and has solidified Arnold's acting talents than the one note performance he showed while doing the Terminator films. Where else can viewers hear sarcastic and macho bullsh-t comments like "I eat green berets for breakfast" and "we'll take his car for he won't be needing it!!" after killing the owner at a hotel and "put the knife in me, get rid of that chickensh-t gun" !! And the stunts are plentiful actually showcasing what this weightlifter can actually do such as ripping a phone booth out of a socket rolling it over his back while a person was inside!! And balancing a trimmed tree on his shoulder and pushing a four wheeler down the hill. Viewers were craving for more which is why films like "The Running Man", "Raw Deal", and "Red Heat" were made. Because of this Arnold was able to ask for his high price salary of 20 million dollars for every picture he had done(not including The Terminator films which he had gotten more).
4/4.
