Commando (Directors Cut: DVD)

What kinds of things are in the Director's Cut?
 
Awesome. I hope this comes out on R4.
 
I'm one of the biggest Arnold fans on the planet but I saw this movie in the theater as a kid and even then thought it was ******ed.
 
We need a sequel...with Bennet. He could come after Matrix for revenge ;)

Yup ... it never hides the fact thats its simply pure action.

Arnie, the 1980s ...... all good!
 
I didn't even know they were talking about a Commando director's cut. As an Arnold fan, I will make it my own.
 
Matrix: Where is she, Sully?
Sully: Kiss my ***!
Matrix: I can't hear you!
Sully: I'll say it a little louder, get ******!
Matrix: [holds Sully upside-down over a cliff by his leg] Listen, loyalty is very touching. But it is not the most important thing in your life right now! But what IS important is gravity! I have to remind you Sully, this is my weak arm!
Sully: You can't kill me Matrix! You need me to find your daughter!
Matrix: Where is she?
Sully: I don't know. But Cooke knows, I'll take you to where I meet him!
Matrix: But you won't.
Sully: Why is this?
Matrix: [holds the hotel key he stole from Sully that Cooke is staying at] Because I already know. Hey, Sully, remember when I said I would kill you last?
Sully: That's right, Matrix! You did!
Matrix: I lied.
[Matrix releases Sully, who falls to his demise]

A/V QUALITY CONTROL

This is the reason to add another edition of Commando to your DVD library as the film has had its video and audio significantly upgraded. Presented in a Dolby Digital 5.1 format, with a widescreen presentation in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, the film's video is more crisp and vivid, but the DVD's sweet is in its audio. The film takes full advantage of the new format as the sound pushes the limit of any good stereo system. This is how Commando is supposed to sound, as the film experience goes from being merely good to being engrossing merely because the audio transfers well on any number of levels.

The Extras

Pure Action is a retrospective piece on the film. Featuring the principles of the cast, mainly Rae Dawn Chong and Vernon Wells, and Schwarzenegger in flashback promotional footage from the film's original release, this piece discusses the film in a generic, non-specific way.

Let Off Some Steam follows Pure Action in being a sort of general piece about the film and its production. Chong is hilarious in her recollections of Arnold back then as well as some of her commentary about certain parts of the movie.

The film also contains some Deleted Scenes as well as on option to view the Added Footage to the Director's Cut independently of the film. Featuring two alternate line readings, as well as an extended action sequences and an additional scene of exposition, the added footage doesn't really add much to the film. There is a scene where Matrix discusses his relationship with his daughter that does give the film a bit more gravitas than before, and the extended action sequence (the tool shed fight scene) is maybe five more seconds of action.

I love the tool shed scene...when he cuts the top fo the guys head off with the saw blade :0.

This movie does have the most feminine Arnold scene ever.....him feeding the deer in the beginning.

Action was entertaining...but the female side-kick was soooooo annoying. to the point I can't even watch the movie.
 
am i the only one who's favorite scene was when they were stocking up on weapons?
