Don’t be an April Fool!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for joining us for another Friday Night Flick. We have been having an awesome time watching these movies with you and we’re going to have so much fun watching Commando! It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger at his prime, my friends. His PRIME! He’s doing what he does best, rocking out and kicking ass. Can I say ass? I just said ass. Deal with it.
In this classic 80’s action movie, John Matrix (Schwarzenegger) is a retired special ops COMMANDO (get it?) who must rescue his daughter from some crazed dude.
You may recognize Matrix’s daughter from Who’s The Boss 80’s fame playing Tony Danza’s daughter Samantha. Alyssa Milano was able to play some awesome 80’s actors’ daughters. I’m only a bit jealous. The only thing I got to play at that age is make-believe, alone, in the bush behind my parent’s house.
Kernel likes to spend his time alone in the bush and I’d just rather not know what he’s doing in there. Doing what dogs do I guess. I hope.
Let me know what you thought of Commando! I absolutely love to hear your feedback. We’ve been getting some on our Facebook page as well! Find us there too.
I look forward to hearing from you.

GOING COMMANDO

I don’t know what it was that got me going all Commando this week- no not that way- I mean just thinking about Arnold Schwarzenegger at his finest just pumped me up! He’s one of my favourite actors of all time. There’s nothing like watching him kill people in various ways and then punctuate it with a clever one liner. “I’ll be Back!” That’s classic, right!
Just thinking about Arnie and this great movie was almost too much- it was like he took over my body… my voice got deeper (and had a funny accent), my muscles got even bigger, and I felt an overwhelming urge to marry a Kennedy… watch the movie with us this Friday and you’ll see what I mean. It started to kind of bug Chantelle- almost as much as when I drink out of the toilet- so she put me in a kennel. Man, did that give me bad flashbacks of when I broke out of the “spa”. When that alarm started blasting I knew they were on to me and I had to high tail it out of there. You can’t keep a clever dog in lock up for long. And you can’t outwit Arnie. Check out Commando this Friday and you’ll see what I mean.
Remember, I’ll be back!

Fun Flick Factoids

COMMANDO

Released: 1985

Starring:
Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Matrix
Rae Dawn Chong as Cindy
Dan Hedaya as Arius
Vernon Wells as Bennett
James Olson as Major General Franklin Kirby
David Patrick Kelly as Sully
Alyssa Milano as Jenny Matrix 

The shopping mall (Sherman Oaks Galleria) used is the same one that was used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), also starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since both films wrapped, the mall has been remodeled.

Martial arts expert and fight choreographer Michael M. Vendrell worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the film and by the end of production, Vendrell estimated that Schwarzenegger had become a second degree black belt.

The film took 45 days to shoot.

The mansion used in the final shootout between Matrix and Arius (the former Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills) is the same mansion see in the final shootout between Axel Foley and Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
