Commando (1985)

Continuity mistake: In the dealership, Cooke never shifts the Cadillac into reverse, and yet instantly starts backing up after he says he likes "the price." The car would have had to be in Park or Neutral in order to be cranked up and would not start in gear. (00:02:50)

Suggested correction: There are a couple of shots of the salesman where you can't see Cooke. In one of the shots of the salesman, he even says, "you can't do that." Easy enough to have done it then.

Commando (1985)

Corrected entry: How exactly did Cindy manage to get a hold of the rocket launcher after the police arrested Matrix? Why didn't the police put every weapon back in it's place and prevent such things from happening again?

Correction: Cindy had taken it out to the car. As John was leaving he got busted. Cindy wasn't in the shop.

Commando (1985)

Corrected entry: Matrix uses a bulldozer to break-in the front window of the army supply store. A highly trained operative like Matrix doesn't know how to quietly pick a lock? (00:51:30)

Correction: I think it is safe to assume that being against the clock it would be quicker that way.

Corrected entry: When Matrix is holding Sully by the ankle over the cliff to get the information from him, just above Sully's head you can see an arm holding a microphone. (00:39:30)

Commando (1985)

Corrected entry: A general point which might apply to many films like this; why does Arnie round up so many different guns with incompatible ammo, why not just get one decent weapon and carry lots of ammo for it. Mind you the guys on the island have to face the same logistical nightmare with AK47s plus 9mm, 7.62mm and 5.56mm weapons all in evidence.

Correction: In situations like that, getting the magazine out of a pocket, ejecting the old magazine and putting a new one in gives the enemy time to shoot you, as you can't shoot back. By ditching a gun, it's a lot quicker.
