Commando 2 is coming with Arnold Schwarzenegger attached. This is like, Hollywood and Arnie's last chance to show that they've learned any kind of lesson over the last several years of flops. If it's another "sad and broken old man gets dragged across the finish line by an insufferable female sidekick" movie then it's a guaranteed flop. If it's like Top Gun Maverick then it will be a hit, as long as Arnie doesn't go rambling about his daddy issues on social media again.
i prefer predator 2 to predator one. love the atmosphere more. its been called "anolog-punk"--that 80s/90s guess as to what te future would be without spending a shit ton of money and just giving everyone casios. kino.
>"Analog-punk"
I can smell the zoom zoom, unwashed fedoras, dilators, and cat piss from whoever came up with that. Why are zoomers such an absolute failed generation that emulates hollywood and can't come up with anything original? Holy shit.
It'll have a goblino female protagonist, Arnie will be on snooze mode as the old torch-passing white male, and the movie will be about ebil drumpf supporting terrorists or something. Modern movies cannot be saved.
These people are the pro grifters of the movie world. These shitty cash-grab, ESG boosting shit heaps are their version of juicy super chats.
This. Frick him and anyone who says shit like this. Why do people insist on forgiving these old bumblefricks that put us in this mess, all because "b..but they were in a good movie once!".
Stallone will forever > Blacknegger.
Why can't they just retire with respect?
Arnold's movie career never bounced back after his stint as governor of California. As his term limit approached it was looking pretty clear that he was not going to be a senator in California either, and he was not nearly successful or popular enough for a presidential run to be possible since it would require a constitutional amendment. He would have had to have been like FDR popular for such a thing to happen.
That's kinda burying the lead though. The point is, Arnold is kind of desperate for one last hit because he hasn't really had one since he got back into acting. He did two geezer sequels for Terminator and both kind of demonstrated the the franchise is dead. For better or worse he missed his chance to return to the Predator franchise, so his only real standout roles from his early career are Conan, which again, he missed, and there's no hope of King Conan getting made, and Commando. Commando is a role that was tailor-made for Arnold Schwarzenegger and it's not something they're gonna try rebooting with someone younger.
It will probably be a lot darker and grittier than the original, that much feels like it's probably a given, but the question is if Arnold can pull off the physicality of the role at his age, and if the writer room isn't gonna frick the movie up by making him the sidekick of his own movie. It could potentially pull a Maverick and be better than the original but it will be an uphill battle to not have it end up like so many other "passing of the torch" failures recently.
Arnold could never be president. He wasn't born in America.
That's why anon mentioned an amendment dumbass.
>An amendment too allow foreign agents enter our elections
>Letting China into our elections
Yeah, and he's the moron? morons.
He's not American. He cannot be president.
>i lack reading comprehension
>It could potentially pull a Maverick and be better than the original
>potentially
You do remember the original right? Wouldn't be much of an achievement that, lol
Yes. It's 12/10 at what it does.
I love Arnie but he’s just sad to watch in his old age. He’s either getting paid off or someone has some grade-A blackmail material on him from his younger days as the original gigachad, because it’s honestly jarring what his public statements of political and philosophical ideals are nowadays compared to his younger self. I honestly wish he’d either passed away at the height of his powers or just quietly retired from the public eye after his run as governor.
Could you imagine how legendary he would be if he died in a plane crash or some shit in the late 90's/early 00s?
He had a heart attack during the production of Terminator 3
That'd be the moment, all legacy and a final "flawed masterpiece" (surely they fricked it up a bit in the final edit because their star was dead, but the fundamentals are there dammit, it's his swan song!)
People still remember who Zyzz is and he was just some Australian juicer who shitposted on fitness forums and happened to be blessed with excellent genetics for his proportions and muscle shapes/insertions. It’s impossible to imagine how legendary Arnie would be if he’d passed away sometime after doing Terminator 2, for example.
In hindsight Terminator 3 was the beginning of the end. He was no longer working with apex talent like Cameron or McTiernan behind the camera, and he demanded things be sanitised and family friendly due to his forthcoming run for political office. It only got worse when he came back to acting, probably his best showing was his extended cameo in Expendables 2.
>probably his best showing
Last stand was good as well
Nobody except for incels on cope forums know who zyzz is, but the Sentinelese probably know who arnie is
He's been on the decline since T2. 'Last Action Hero' tanked, but it's a great movie an. He was struggling in the nineties. Sly adapted better.
It really was phenomenal
Amazing how it was doomed by the same kind of self-awareness that audiences went absolutely batshit over just a few years later, proves that being ahead of the curve isn't always a good thing
was around when it was trying to get hype; trailer came across as full of itself and expecting a hit.
really turned people off.
diddnt introduce the action movie satire angle at all
shit advertising/10
Last Action Hero came out 10 years too early. People forget how gay "irony" is. You were not cool for doing that shit until the internet went truly mainstream with broadband. Would have been a completely different movie if made a little bit before or after as well as 1993 was literally THE pivot year when the 90's became THE 90's. Surprisingly good soundtrack, though.
Oh yeah the irony of the movie is that it would be absolutely loved by the MCU quip crowd and meta reddit oh my science c**ts, but it was way above both groups. Why did it fail? It even has Charles Dance as the villain.
Anon, True Lies was after Last Action Hero and made more money than any of his other movies ever.
Except T2. That movie was a $500M box office hit and who the frick knows how much they made on the franchise, selling merchandise etc.
>original gigachad
>his public statements of political and philosophical ideals are nowadays
It makes sense if you take the context of he doesn't believe in anything *except* being the best
In the roided gigachad '80s he had to be the ultimate roided gigachad
In the soi vegan '20s he has to be the ultimate soi vegan
If he was a Nazi he'd have gassed more israelites than anybody
If he was a Saracen he'd have beheaded more infidels than anybody
If he was in your fricking WoW guild he'd have to have the first raid on the server
The mountain itself literally doesn't matter, only the climb
Like that episode of South Park where Randy tries to take a bigger shit than Bono
>The mountain itself literally doesn't matter, only the climb
Wise words and based post. But Arnold would not cheat some meme Donkey Kong record, he would beat Billy KBlack person's emulation and custom stick on official arcade cabinet. Maybe he would take amphetamines to get there but it would be his body to make that climb.
Arnie is no Dolph Lundgren level genius. He's a charismatic midwit who leveraged his discipline into a successful career built on a cult of personality.
>It will probably be a lot darker and grittier than the original, that much feels like it's probably a given
They should follow in Rambo's footsteps
Given how much campier Commando was than the first two Rambo movies I would be impressed if they do something more dark and serious with the sequel. Although I don't want to see them do something as dark and hopeless as Last Blood.
>Arnold's movie career never bounced back after his stint as governor of California
eraser is the film that ended him as a star
Which is too bad because I enjoyed that movie. It was a flop though.
I still think his last great movie was The 6th Day.
6th Day has its problems, but is so underrated.
To be fair, probably would have worked better with someone other than Arnie in the lead, and has a general 2000 era stank on it, but still a decent film of his.
As a guy who loves MGS I appreciated Eraser more than most because it had fricking railguns.
Although the crocodile CGI was laughably bad and they really dropped the ball by having Vanessa Williams fully clothed all the time
There is no way Commando 2 can match the original in any sense.
Arnold’s political would’ve gone better if he had run during the internet meme years instead of as early as he did.
He could not have won by the time those years came around. He was too moderate for the post-2010 Republican Party, and there was no chance of California electing even a moderate Republican post-2010.
>pull a Maverick and be better than the original
Lol. Lmao even
Maverick being better than the original is a meme.
It's the same shit movie, with special effects proportioned to the year they were made.
An unneeded rehash that contributed to to reshash problem
The VFX in the original were fine, the biggest thing that changed is we have much better cameras than we did in the early 80s which makes for much more dramatic footage of the pilots in the planes.
>It's the same shit movie, with special effects proportioned to the year they were made.
Oh wow maybe thats what the people want from commando 2, moron.
They're both decent movies but that's about it.
How anyone can cream themselves over war movies where 95% of the runtime is just military training is beyond me
>King Conan
This is honestly the only "old Arnold sequel" I'd watch, but it would probably be crap.
We all know that finally making a Turbo Man movie is the only way for Arnie at this point
Anyone have any idea what the financial trajectory of the Star Wars IP was before the prequels and then Disney acquisition?
I'd like to see that laid out in a graph for comparison, because being old it was undoubtedly on the downhill glide, and so you'd expect George to want to try to revitalise it at that point, but a great example of how you can make shit so much worse.
I can't imagine it is making more money now than it would have in the long-term if left alone, even before they had their first failure at the box office. Which is to say, that you can probably run the numbers and know, at least in retrospect, that you should have left well enough alone.
I guess at some point the gamble is going to be worth it in terms of risk vs reward, and you're in danger of the older audience, original stars dying/being too old, and all the Zoomies not giving a frick anymore, but Jesus they've totally screwed the pooch on so many of the classics.
Also there seems to be a kind of 'Death Zone' where they revisit these IPs where it's at least a decade too late, (and seems to coincide with when the actors, who thought they were too good to be in a sequel, are knocked off their high horse by reality and need the money). Ghostbusters is a good example of that. If they had gotten off their arses and made a third movie - and Bill Murray stopped being a total dickhole for once, they might have had a very good shot at making something kino when it would have really counted. Now you just have dregs, reboots, and trying to restart the franchise from fumes.
>seems to coincide with when the actors, who thought they were too good to be in a sequel, are knocked off their high horse by reality and need the money
It's really stark how strong that particular strand of human egotism is, that even people who swear it would never be them end up doing it anyway

>they got McFadden
>I can't imagine it is making more money now than it would have in the long-term if left alone
Nah. I'm old enough to have lived through the OT theatrical release and the dead period between ROTJ and Episode 1 and this is all anecdotal but I was also the target demo for SW merch so I feel like my experience is relevant.
It's true that the OT and just the concept of Star Wars in general was so beloved that it didn't need more movies to perpetuate itself. The extended universe filled in the gaps very nicely ad there was always a new game or book or comic in the pipeline. If you liked Star Wars, the brand was always "live" so to speak.
But you gotta keep in mind how increasingly insular the fan base was becoming. The books and comics sold, but they never had the broad appeal of the films. Shit like Dark Empire or Tales from the Cantina were well received by the fan base but they probably got 10% of the audience the original films did. The games were more popular but still, they were a reflection of the films' enduring popularity, not a substitute for it. People's moms and grandparents didn't play Rogue Squadron, but they'd probably seen the movies.
Star Wars became the most profitable IP in the world because almost literally *everyone* watched movies, which you can't say about any of the peripheral stuff. If the franchise stayed relegated to spin-offs in other media it was never going to die but it would cease to be as impactful. The Prequels, divisive as they were, got the world's attention in a way none of the other stuff did. They were bigger than the rest of it combined. They were always going to have to make more movies eventually, but Lucas did it the right way by letting everybody get thirsty for new content instead of milking it until people were burnt out. People were disappointed in Episode 1 and they still ate it up because it was the only Star Wars movie in 15 years
Okay, what would you say to the proposition that Lucas would have been better off in the long-run if after he had made Phantom Menace, he recognised it was shit, put it in a lock box and dropped it to the bottom of a lake, never released it, ate the full cost, and started all over again?
Of course assuming he made something even sem-kino the next time, (got help with the writing, direction, editing, etc.) Like imagine we got a sequel post RoTJ, or some other cool corner of the Star Wars universe, or an actual good prequel of non-whiny non-child Anakin and young Obi-Wan fighting as friends in the non-gay Clone Wars.
The next movie was always going to make a bazillion dollars in the SHORT-TERM because of Star Wars thirst after the OT, and Phantom Menace is proof, because it actually did even though it was boring shit. At the time though it didn't deal the deserved damage to the IP on its own, because it could seemed to be going somewhere, and it could have been course corrected in the next film. Lucas could have still gotten away with Phantom Menace if he buried Attack of the Clones along with his copies of the Holiday Special after it was made and ate the cost using the undeserved money he made from Phantom Menace.
The same goes for Disney with The Force Awakens, which I thought was a shit film, but made money and didn't totally destroy Disney's chances at with the IP at the time. Again, Disney had the opportunity to at eat the cost of a shit movie after seeing the result, (either TFA or the travesty that came after).
Which is to say, you can always make money in the short-term, at the long-term cost of gutting the IP, but I don't think it's worth it, even to the point of protecting it at great cost in the short-term, even if you're just protecting it's future positive potential as part of the calculation.
What you're describing is kind of insane. You take the loss and start over when you fail. TPM was one of the most successful films OF ALL TIME, at least in financial terms. Nobody, ever, except maybe Howard Hughes at his most OCD, would just throw it all out and start over again after that kind of reception, critics be damned. And trying to course correct after every bit of fan backlash is how you wind up where Disney is now where they started second-guessing themselves, changing direction multiple times, firing people, canceling films and committing pathetically obvious acts of desperate fanservice (somehow, Palpatine returned! And look, there's Hayden Christiansen ! You guys liked him, right? Right?!). Not to mention that's what WB did with the DCEU and, well, I don't need to tell you how that worked. Meanwhile, when people were underwhelmed by Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 Marvel just kept going and were fine. Better to stay the course.
Also it's important to note that for Lucas, this was all like the fulfillment of a prophecy. He wasn't making these just as a commercial venture. He had a story he wanted to tell and the prequels were the other half of that story. He wasn't going to drastically alter it. He might shove Jar Jar off to the side but why would he start over again? He'd been planning this for 20 fricking years and despite all the screeching was making money hand over fist.
The prequels didn't damage the SW brand. People wished they were more polished and didn't have such cringe dialogue but they generally liked the premise, characters and story. Because it was from the same guy as the OT. It still had that Star Wars flavor because for better or worse Lucas is Star Wars. It's Disney that put everyone off but making a soulless and cynical imitation. The IP was just fine right up until Lucas sold it. That's why he got billions for it.
support this movie, let hollywood flood the market with geriatric casts and senile projects no one will watch
the business will burn
Divorce wiped him clean
Arnold wants to show that he still has one more great film in him before he retires. I don’t even blame him for his string of crummy flicks , they just don’t make good action flicks anymore

How about no. Arnold is almost 80. Just fricking retire already, your glory days are long gone. Everyone will remember your best movies like original Commando, Conan, Predator and Terminator
Why even make a new Commando? What is Arnold supposed to do in it? Walk around like an old man and break his hip?
>If it's another "sad and broken old man gets dragged across the finish line by an insufferable female sidekick" movie
It basically has to be if it's meant to be a proper sequel. John Matrix saved his daughter in the first, now his daughter's grown up and kicking ass. This shit writes itself.
>now his daughter's grown up and kicking ass. This shit writes itself.
Oh, wow. That sounds awful, just awful.

The only film that would have made sense with an old Arnold would have been a King Conan one, and even then, it'd have been best to do it ten years ago, not nowadays as Arnold is nearing 80 years old.
>no King Conan movie with an older Ahnuld
>no Crusade movie with prime Ahnuld
>no Red Sonja movie with Rose McGowan in the late 00's-early 10's before she turned into a SJW
Frick this shitty timeline
All we got instead was this piece of shit
Jason Momoa was a great choice to play Conan but everything else about that production was bad.
it wasn't that bad
I have not seen this movie. Is it guilty pleasure enjoyably bad charming movie like the Scorpion King or is it just plainly bad?

>Commando 2 is coming with Arnold Schwarzenegger
will he be defending a "community" of black african-american animal-frickers, lesbians and troony vegetarians against white christian families (so occasional meat eaters)?
isn't he like 100 at this point?
I remember he was "too old" when I was a little kid, he was "still doing movies??" when I was 20.
he's a mummy by now
I wonder what changed. Die Hard was alledgedly supposed to be the sequel to commando originally and Arnold said no.
Hopefully Arnold and studios have paid attention to sly. Rambo 4 and 5 are some of the best action movies of the last 20 years
Are you dumb?
Rambo should have ended with the first movie.
2 and 3 were an abomination, 4 and 5 were the shit of an abomination.
>muh first blood
I said best action, not drama piece.
2 and 4 are the best Rambo movies action wise. First blood is a good film but it is not an action movie
Rambo 2 is one of my favorite action movies of all time and I am tired of people retroactively shitting on it. It was an R-rated movie that made a billion dollars adjusted for inflation in the 80s which is a monumental achievement. It didn't just make Rambo a household name, it made "Rambo" a slang term for one man army.
>Rambo 4 and 5
They are shit. It tells a lot of the current state of things if they are the best at anything
>he didn't like Rambo 4
Pleb
You arer not high IQ for likeing bloated old Sly wandering in colour corrected jungle and killing people with sprays of brown cgi blood.

Ok I'm semi hopeful now.
The original had no women at all save for the daughter and maybe a scream from the lady whose husband got iced by garbage men and maybe just one red guard who Arnie ate for breakfast.
Pretty sure that goes against e s g these days.
how could you forget a whole character you troony freak
You talking about the guy who was also in predator? I mentioned him
Chong?
She had to have been the Zendaya of her day because I'm aware she was marketed as massively attractive, and she wasn't
It's kinda unusual that Arnold did so many movies with non-white heroines.
What's not unusual back then is literally nobody giving a flying frick about it. I never even heard anyone mention it, and I didn't even think about it myself at the time.
It's like how I watched all of Red Dwarf and never even once noticed that the last human being alive wasn't white until CURRENT YEAR homosexuals started calling Boomers racist. Craig Charles is just well-cast and fricking hilarious, same with Danny John-Jules, so that's half the main cast right there.
To be fair though, Lister and the Cat did commit a disproportionate majority of the Space Crime now I think about it ...
I noticed exactly one racial reference in Red Dwarf and it was oblique
When Lister first tells the story about being a foundling, Rimmer says it's because you can tell just by looking at him that his parents getting together must have been a terrible scandal at that time
Then instead of making the obvious miscegenation jab, he bait and switches the punchline and calls him inbred
Then he's proven EXTREMELY right when the story about the Baby in the Box is revealed
Ever see the failed pilot for the American version? They changed Lister for a white guy and "Americanized" the jokes. It was bloody awful:
I can understand them thinking Charle's accent might be a little hard to understand for that market at the time, but Jesus Christ, what a mess.
No one cared there was always something slightly endearing about seeing a British Caribbean on a British comedy back in the day. I guess this was long before I realized how annoying minorities can be in larger numbers.
Also much like gay shit, the left ruined black people in movies.
>Also much like gay shit, the left ruined black people in movies.
This. I can watch an old movie that has black people, but if I see blacks in modern movies I just can't watch.
I mean, humanity going extinct when there's only black people left is quite believable.
>She obviously doesn't exist and this is some kind of AI generated picture or something, because my college professor told me that people of colour - especially blacks - weren't allowed in movies before the CURRENT YEAR because everyone was racist. They sure as shit didn't get to play the leading lady because of misogyniophobiaism.
never point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill
How sure are we this wasn't eraser?
Vanessa Williams is much better looking.
>Radon Chong
She was fricking rockstars at like 14 and her dad was famous. She had an "in" from day 1 on multiple levels. Also, she was in some real kino.
Cmon, she had a certain cuteness to her.
massively attractive no, but she's pretty and doesn't have a c**t face like Zenmeme
In the original, Arnold spends a huge portion of the movie with Tommy Chong's daughter tagging along, remember?
I honestly forgot her, haven't seen it in over a decade
fricking homosexual moron
Yeah, but she was based and necessary. I dug that they depicted him as having at least some limits and that men can need women sometimes without pretending that women are actually good at fighting or much else apart from panicking.
Yeah she was fine in the movie. I never had an issue with her character. Best scene in the movie is when she's talking to the cop in the mall, betraying Arnold, and his gigantic Austrian self tries hilariously to hide behind a pillar, only for most of his chest and jaw to be visible still.
Kek you made me remember. She also flew the plane didn't she?
How about you watch the movie before talking shit about it you absolute fricking waste of life?
Whut, one of the most well known moments was Rae Dawn Chong shooting the rocket launcher backwards during the car chase.
>The original had no women
Did we see the same movie?
The opening scene will be a nurse bringing him his medication at the nursing home. kino.
would've made more sense if Ahnold was kidnapped from the nursery home and his daughter teams up with some young Ahnold substitute (probably not shit) or a progressive team of dykes and other mystery meat individuals (because it's the current year, horrible shit) to save him
shit's moronic either way, he's almost 80, who the frick wants to see some old fart dragging his feet around? are they gonna CGI his head on top of a younger actor's body like they did with Ford in Dialator of Dysentery? Release some mess where the action scenes have 80 cuts/second? frick off
>would've made more sense if Ahnold was kidnapped from the nursery home and his daughter teams up with some young Ahnold substitute (probably not shit)
Should be played by Arnold's son Joseph Baena, would be pure kino.
Oh boy, a geriatric actor trying to look tough. Arnold at least knows how to use steroids and HGH so there's some hope it won't be as cringe as DeNiro in the Irishman
Isn't that Taken?
It's going to be shit.
Of course, even commando was an a-team tier turd of a movie and only "good" because arnie was in it
I love The A-Team though.
Hollywood hasn't had a new idea in over 15 years.
No one has. The 21st century is a wasteland. And the ideas sure aren't going to come from millennials or zoomers.
Look up youtube channel Omeletto. It has pretty neat ideas that wouldn't fit a movie format. Or short indies on youtube in general, for example Portrait of God.

then get massive reshoots that frick it even further after a shitty test screening, like 'the predator'
you think some writers plans matter these days?
Remember when I said screw your freedom? I lied..... P-Please come watch my movies again.
die arnold, you suck and you are a wimp homosexual as well.
You can take the man out of the ESL but you can't fully ever take the ESL out of the man, especially when emotions are involved. I sincerely believe he didn't fully realize what he was saying.
I am willing to accept that a lot of people went insane over COVID. However, his next movie has to actually be good for me to show up.
COVID was the best litmus test to determine if someone has free will or not
Arnold failed it, his based status was therefore revoked indefinitely
commiefornians should just die
that includes him
Arnold is so lame now. He pulled a DeNiro. Frick these old c**ts
>more nostalgia bait
Dont care, wont watch it
'member action movies?
'member pithy one-liners?
'member shit blowing up that diddnt have arabs dying?
'member oiled-up hunks in their prime kicking ass?
those times are gone.
>those times are gone.
>not becoming the oiled up hunk yourself
I feel like if any old man can still pull off the action hero thing it’d be him.
>Hollywood and Arnie's last chance to show that they've learned any kind of lesson over the last several years of flops
By rebooting a decades-old movie...
So they haven't learned.
So are we just ignoring the fact that his sidekick and love interest was a black chick? I thought she was cute, I'm just saying you /misc/ dummies will complain about shit you've never seen or read becoming "pozzed". The real reason this will fail is because they aren't going to let Arnie kill people and crack jokes about it anymore.
Frick off
He actually said no chance at the end about coming back, reporters are brain dead
>we got another story to tell about that time he was an old homie and he ruled a kingdom and it all went to shit
>lol j/k
Was this the most blueballs scene in movie history
this ship sailed with that conan reboot. it's so moronic that no one was able to do anything with this, it's everything they want. you have a popular ip and an opportunity to pass the torch on to the next action star while making sense
A movie really isn't needed. If you like Conan that much either read the Hour of the Dragon or thr King Conan: Crown of Iron screen play.
One is from the original author, the other the guy that did Conan the Barbarian
WARRIORS
COME OUT TO PLAAAAAAAAAAAY
based. This is my interaction with every woman I meet
Junior 2 when?
I want a John Rambo vs John Matrix movie
dueling wheelchairs at the nursing home?
Using iv drips as lances.
They should do an all old man action movie. Were old ass heroes fight old ass villain with old ass minions over the nursing home
I wish he didn't go the woke path with the screw your freedoms and the vegan shit; he should have focused more on the mutt son he has
Here's your new mother.
Imagine if modern Hollywood actually made good films and could build up a new action star.
>"Damn John you look great, what are you? 91?"
in retrospect this guy being sold within the film as Schwarzenegger's peer, equal and rival in every way was bizarre
kek yeah. jiust a fat sweaty bong wearing a larp chainmail vest, it's hilarious
>bong
i always just filled in the blanks that since they were a 'former' unit and retired now he just got a little out of shape. doesn't mean he couldn't still rekt
that too, but it's still funny
south bong, whatever
>south bong, whatever
They should have made him ex-SAS, some big tough Scottish one with a moustache or something.
AuSAS are pretty badass
That's what makes it funny, the villain is hyped up throughout the whole movie but there's absolutely no evidence that he is in any way Arnold's equal. The way he dies is hilarious too, like, he's clearly terrified of John Matrix but he charges at him screaming like a scared little girl anyway. He's a villain you love to hate.
In this interview during publicity for the movie Arnie says they already had someone cast as the villain, but he wasn't working out. So they phoned Vernon specifically at Arnold's request, because he liked him in The Road Warrior.
Vernon was filming The Fortress when he got the call, where he was playing a chubby redneck. He had literally two days to finish his scenes and fly to the Commando shoot.
He was a peer in the sense that they were both vets but he's really not supposed to be Matrix's mirror image or equal. If anything, he's his opposite. Matrix was disciplined, calculating, and at least somewhat moral and compassionate. Bennett is sloppy, emotional, and a ruthless merc with no conscience. He's a threat because he's an unhinged pshycho with a knife and gun who's wiling to do anything, not because he's jacked.
Also, there's a strong subtext about him having an inferiority complex and being insanely jealous of Matrix with a whiff of homolust. All his bantz and arrogance seem kind of unjustified, because they were. He was just coping and seething.
I agree. First he admitted he needed the hostage and was afraid of Mateix, then got so ass mad whencmocked by Matrix that he dropped the hostage and the gun to knife fight him.
Matrix understood his psychology. The guy's whole thing was wanting to be Matrix but knowing he never could be, so a straight duel was something the guy couldn't refuse. If he admitted he didn't want to fight Matrix straight up then he'd basically be confirming all his self-doubts and worst fears. His ego wouldn't let him decline the challenge
Astute observations. I like how the villain is out of shape rather than nearly on par with Arnold's physique, which is what you'd typically expect from the genre
>board full of morons and schizos becomes intellectual when talking about a dumb action movie
kino
Perhaps you should reconsider some of that moronic, schizo stuff.
These might have been superficially "dumb" movies but they were made by smart people so they're not as shallow as they appear.
I'm not completely sure when we entered the "so the movie can happen" and "because" era of screenwriting but I suspect it was around the mid 90's
>you're getting old john, you're getting old
commando (1985)
dead culture
Die Hard was originally the script for Commando 2
They must have retooled it a lot though, I can't picture John Matrix actually suffering and struggling the way John McClane did
>John Matrix
They changed to the a script based on a book.
Also, 80s Arnie wouldn't fit in a vent, no fricking way
*opening credits finish*
- fade to black -
>remember when I told you I hated nazis?
That's right, Matrix you do.
>I lied.
Bennett didn't stand a chance.
hold my bazooka
Nice.
>the world is like a flat pizza pie, Ray, and I ain't gonna eat the crust
Why? He looks more lithe and agile, while Arnold can't even bend his arms right down due to the muscles that are in the way. I'd say Arnie just got lucky in this instance because Bennett was being wienery and careless. Like the tortoise and the hare.
Cope
the last terminator was so bad and he was in it, watching it get fricked like a cuck
Image is a fickle thing and for whatever reason doing comedies hurt Arnie more than they hurt Stalone or any other action star. I think it's because Arnold was pushing things with some of the goofy, comedic elements in his films combined with his existing personality and delivery and for whatever reason just couldn't seem to do a 100% straight movie. Eventually, the audience just couldn't take him seriously no matter what. He did it to himself and seems to have accepted it to some extent.
I partially don't blame him for switching to comedy. Toward the end of the 80s action movies were at a point of self parody. It did totally rewire his career when he accepted being goofy buff foreign man with a silly accent.
He sold out to the israelites, movie will suck
Christians have been through worse.
I FOMOed into RIVN calls and I'm up a modest 20% so far.
/smg/ is open in your other window, jackass
had to unfollow arnie on twitter because he was single handedly eating up all of my daily tweet viewing limit because all he frickin ever does lately is just quote retweet literally everyone and anyone who mentions one of his frickin netflix shows or email newsletter.
For me it was Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Torro. Both were a flood of nonstop retweets about whatever low budget indie film of the week that was coming out
No sequel made 30+ years after the fact can ever hope to be good.
This. Frick this necromancy
*digital necromancy
Comxirdo.
arnold has been cringe since like 1998
They could do an old jaded connan the barbarian but nooooo
frick your movies
with current Hollywood it will be about an aging Arnold walking around forgetting to put his underwear on and him just walking around confused while going commando until he is rescued by his black troony can do no wrong nurse who takes him back to the nursing home
The original movie pairs Arnie with a mutt woman (she's very cute) so in the interest of equality this time around the main female character whether its his daughter or grand daughter or whatever, ought to be white.
can they just stop casting geriatric arnold? its spoiling his legacy..
if they stop now at least he wont go full bruce willis..
The only thing you can guarantee is that it's going to be absolutely shit.
Arnie hasn't headlined a good movie since True Lies.
frick arnold he's become super cringe with old age
they should double down and get an even gayer, even less threatening villain to go up against Arnold this time
same gay fishnet shirt
Ron Paul kidnapps his grandchild.
They should use a body double with deepfake young arnold face, and arnolds real voice.
they did this already in terminator genysis, it was shit
just what everyone was asking for.. commando 2
Arnie will play a broken and jaded John Matrix.
divorced from Rae Dawn Chong
his Mullato daughter will follow in his footsteps. she'll be a bad ass special forces type even more over the top than Arnie.
If this shit gets made it will be more embarrassing than dial of disneyslop.
John Matrix should enlist the help of an old special forces friend... John Rambo
I'd watch that.
didnt they make like 11 expendables movie about this already?
Imagine the end of Commando, done in the fashion of Rambo 4
Don’t care about any of that shit
Just watch Commando 音MAD’s instead
Arnold is so old.
>Managed to give not 1 but 2 satisfying endings to Rocky (balboa and creed ii)
>Managed to give some good sequels to Rambo. Rambo V is a trillion times better than Terminator Dark Fate
>Managed to create a new ip: the expendables
>We all know now that Arnold's greatest hits where handled to him by great film makers like Cameron and Millius, without them he is nothing
>Manages to keep the facade of conservative though guy for years long after Arnold became a soiboi
>Anything Stallone makes post 2000 is from decent to good
>Anything Arnold SoisheBlack person makes post 2000 is from bad to mediocre
In 1995 I would have never thought some day I would be team Sly, but here I am. I KNEEL
Arnold burned hotter and faster but there's no question that Sly won the long game. Schwarzehomosexual hasn't made anything good since being governor and Commando 2 won't be the exception
As an Arnold guy all the way I don't like this conclusion but I cannot find the fault in it either
What really drove this home for me was catching a marathon of Sly and Arnie movies some years ago. Went in expecting to catch a nap during the Sly films but seeing them on the big screen ended up enjoying them more than any of the Arnie films. Demolition Man alone is better than anything Arnie did post-T2.
>"John! I am back from the dead and I have been upgraded!"
Collateral Damage was easily the worst movie I ever seen in my life. They were trying to hype that, and that Owen Wilson movie where he is trying to escape Serbia as these "post 9-11 patriot movies" fricking israelites.
Trying to capture the zeitgeist is almost always a mistake. It just feels forced
>Commando 2 is coming with Arnold Schwarzenegger attached.
fricking why man, why
it will be woke pozzed globohomosexual israelitery propaganda. fricking Black folk, asiatics and troons ruining my content with left wing liberalism. I'm tired of seeing coloreds telling me my whiteness is bad and eradicating my culture. ywnbaw

Arnie should probably try doing comedies again, if he wants to keep making movies. People love Jingle All The Way these days.
