![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Schwarzenegger’s side gig as governor kept him off-screen during most of the 2000s, but since then it’s drama ( Aftermath, Maggie) that’s he mixed in with minor-comeback vehicles, like The Last Stand or Stallone team-up Escape Plan. The rest of the decade saw him mixing action with more overt comedies ( Jingle All the Way, Junior, Kindergarten Cop) to varying success. He started the ’90s with a bang with mega-violent mind-bender Total Recall, which was followed by the legendary Terminator 2: Judgment Day. On this list of Schwarzenegger’s best movies ranked by Tomatometer (alongside the worst), we’re including the 1976 Pumping Iron documentary that helped him land Conan the Barbarian – even though he’s not playing a character, Iron was vital in crafting Arnie’s on-screen image.Īlso included, of course, are his star-making ’80s action films, ranging from sci-fi ( The Terminator) to horror ( Predator) to practically comedy ( Commando). Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding career, begun at age 14, was enough to take him abroad in competitions, and eventually into the viewfinder of Hollywood agents. What do you make of this news? Are you looking forward to watching Commando 2 when it’s finally released? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.Much like his breakthrough role Conan the Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger transcended a childhood of neglect and poverty in 1950s Austria, pushing his body over over the top, to become one day the king of the Hyborian Age governor of California. But regardless of the direction Commando 2 takes, it’s safe to say that fans are ready and waiting to see Schwarzenegger let off some steam once again. Whether the sequel will maintain the original film’s serious tone or incorporate a more comedic approach, like Schwarzenegger’s recent Netflix show, remains to be seen. However, these are still speculations, and official cast announcements are yet to be made.Īs we wait for more information about Commando 2, one thing is certain: the prospect of seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger back in action is a thrilling one. Rae Dawn Chong, who played Cindy, Matrix’s love interest and ally, is another potential returnee that fans are hoping to see. Alyssa Milano, who played Matrix’s kidnapped daughter in the original film, is a fan favourite for a return, considering her character is central to the plot. Looking Forward to Commando 2Īs the news of Commando 2 breaks, fans are eagerly speculating about which cast members will return for the sequel. Who could forget when Matrix killed a villain by driving a pipe through his chest, causing steam to pour out of the pipe, and quipped, “Let off some steam, Bennett”? Or when, after killing a man on a plane and posing him to look like he’s sleeping, he told the flight attendant, “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired”? These unforgettable lines have become part of the legacy of Commando and Schwarzenegger himself. One of the film’s most memorable aspects was Schwarzenegger’s expert delivery of corny, but irresistibly hilarious, one-liners. Unlike the sci-fi classic, Schwarzenegger was the undeniable protagonist in Commando, leaving an indelible mark with his memorable one-liners and action sequences. While it was The Terminator that launched Schwarzenegger into the stratosphere of superstardom, it was Commando that truly defined him as an action hero. For those who might not be familiar with the original film, Commando was a tour de force in the action genre. ![]()
