Arnold has many great action flicks over his career but in the 80's one of them stands out among them all and that is Commando. I think there are more one liners in this movie then most of his put together. It has a great cast in it and the action is spot on as only Arnold can bring it. The Stallone/ Arnold rivalry was big in the 80's and I believe this was Arnold's version or answer to Rambo. Who...
