Otherwise, well worth seeing-lots of fun if you don't mind mindless, violent films (like me). My only complaint is that the final battle between Arnie and psycho Vernon Wells (badly overacting) is way too violent-even for this film. Also Rae Dawn Chong (whatever happened to.?) is very good in a supporting role.
#Commando 2013 movie full
The plot barrels also full speed and it's very short (88 min).
It makes all the blood and gore seem cartoonish. It's full of noisy battles, tons of gun play, loads of fistfights and a grand total of EIGHTY-ONE bloody on-screen deaths! The film works so well because it has a good, strong sense of humor and never takes itself seriously. To get her back he has to kill someone else. Ridiculous but fun film with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a retired special agent being pulled back into action when his daughter (well played by Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped. All close ups of the pole in Bennett's ( Vernon Wells) stomach are gone. Commando of the Indian army, Karanvir Dogra (Vidyut Jammwal) escapes from China (where he was in the custody of the Chinese army after being falsely implicated as an Indian spy and mercilessly tortured thereafter) to India (albeit in miraculous circumstances).The shot of the piece of wood sticking through Cooke's stomach is absent.The shot of Matrix snapping Henriques neck is gone. When Matrix breaks Henriques' ( Charles Meshack) neck on the plane, he simply elbows him, and in the next shot, Henrqiues is already dead.In the opening scene, after Cooke ( Bill Duke) has initially shot the man in the robe, he walks over to the body and shoots him again.
In this version additional edits include, but are not limited to:
The heavily edited 2001 UK DVD version, with a total of 56 seconds removed, was also used as the master for the initial Australian DVD release. All cuts were fully waived in 2007 by the BBFC (although it was not released until 2015). The 2001 UK DVD release retained these cuts and also added a further 44 seconds of distributor cuts this was because the DVD master used for the UK release was a censored German/Scandinavian version. The original UK cinema and video versions were censored by around 15 seconds, and removed the shots where Matrix ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) slices off the soldier's arm with the machete as well as Bennett's death to remove a shot of the pipe in his chest and the tracking shot of it sticking from his body.
