Trivia:
During the scene in the shed, after Matrix cuts the soldier's arm off, he was originally supposed to hit the victim with it and say "Need a hand?" This scene was never shot however, as it was considered too macabre.
more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When killing people using the M16, during one of the overhead shots, a man is "shot" even though Matrix is not aiming in his direction.

Commando is in my mind the best action film out there to date, this movie was made 14 years ago and no other film can push it out of first position.
The film got everything: a great looking Arnold, extremely fine music by James Horner and great settings for the action scenes. It`s a great ride of perfection when it comes to entertaining action fans. Rae Dawn Chong and Alyssa Milano gives fine performances as well.
