Continuity mistake: After chasing down Sully, the yellow Porsche is totally wrecked on the left side, until Arnie drives it away, and it's fine. Later, when Arnie and Cindy arrive at the hotel, the car is wrecked again. (00:39:50)
Commando (1985)
Directed by: Mark L. Lester
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dan Hedaya, Alyssa Milano, Rae Dawn Chong, Vernon Wells
Factual error: If the access hatch to the nose wheel well on an airliner was opened at any time during the flight, every alarm panel in the cockpit would light up like a Christmas tree. In this case happening within seconds of takeoff the pilot would immediately declare an emergency, turn around and land at the airport he had just left. (00:22:10)
Continuity mistake: When Matrix is driving the red car and trying to run Sully's yellow car off the road, watch the front bumper of the red car. At some points it is hanging off the car, and at others is it attached onto the car. (00:39:50)
Trivia: When Col. John Matrix is with Cooke in the motel, Matrix says the famous phrase: "I eat green berets for breakfast." This was a reference to Sylvester Stallone, who played a Green Beret in the Rambo movies. (00:46:45)
Trivia: The shopping mall used in this film is the same one that was used in Terminator 2.
Arius: Your father appears to be cooperating. You will be back with him soon. Won't that be nice?
Jenny: Not as nearly as nice as watching him smash your face in.
More quotes from Commando
Question: When Matrix says to his captors "Why not have Bennett do it, looks like something he will get off on"; did he mean it was something Bennett wouldn't go to jail for (considering he was psychotic), or was it some kind of sexual implication?
Answer: Not sexual but something that he (Bennet) would find immense joy in doing due to his unstable mental nature akin to a sociopathic tendency.
Question: When Sully is in the phone booth, he fires his gun once as Matrix comes up to the phone booth. When Matrix starts to grab the booth, why wouldn't Sully keep shooting at him?
Answer: He grabbed the phone booth and started to shake it. Sully stumbled and fumbled, losing his balance, especially after Arnold threw it over his shoulders.
Question: I know that Wings Hauser was originally supposed to play Bennett. Why was he fired?
Answer: Director Mark Lester replaced Wings Hauser the first day of shooting because he didn't think Hauser clicked as a maniacal counterbalance to Schwarzenegger's larger-than-life portrayal of Matrix. Last-minute cast changes are not unusual when an actor fails to meet certain character expectations. A classic example is Michael J. Fox replacing Eric Stoltz in Back to the Future because Stoltz portrayed Marty too intensely for a humorous sci-fi film. Viggo Mortensen replaced Stuart Townsend as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings because Peter Jackson felt Townsend wasn't properly preparing for the role.
Also, Peter Jackson thought that Stuart Townsend was too young to play Aragorn.
Chosen answer: A sexual implication, suggesting that it's something Bennett would find exciting.
