No Chance

The production values are practically as good as the original 80s movies it takes off. Those old Arnie movies were just as bad as this film, they really were bad films. If you know all the old films this one is kind of funny. Maybe it's 20 years too last to the spoof craze but it's funny. Don't expect too much though.

This movie is awesome. You can tell this was a labor of love for the filmmakers. I've always loved the cheesieness of the 80s Schwarzenegger movies and you can totally tell they do too. Commando was one of my favorites and they hit it out of the park. While they did a great job spoofing the most ridiculous parts of the original movie, they took it to the next level and advanced the story, adding original content that is just as cheesy. The backstory for "Barrett" and "Mantrixx" is a great addition and the actors are hilarious - I couldn't stop laughing. The production quality also exceeded my expectations. I really hope they do a Total Recall parody.

Totally lame but that's the point. It's a PARODY. If you take this seriously, your missing all the fun IMO. I'm a child of the 80s action flicks when you had to go to the theater and watch along with other people. Cheers, boos, laughs all added to the experience. I digress, this is a good poke at all those over the top flicks. Cracking up at all the "eyh!"s. Every time John takes an action. 😅 There's a good drinking game in there somewhere Accents are great. Stupid catch phrases abound.

I have to type 145 more characters or IMBD will not allow me to post this review. So here are a bunch of filler characters.

I'll give it a watch again!

The hero looked goofy and I did not have much hope but the actor and the movie defy all assumptions. It is a spoof of the Commando movie starring Arnold Schwarznegger but with a slightly different storyline. The Arnold impressions are exceptional. Even his walk and action scenes voice-acting are all spot on. This is also an action movie and they have used real arms and ammunition. It is a funny action movie. Somehow they managed it. The funny part is mostly around Ahnol and the Austrian style of speaking. The scene where the Commando movie villain comes back with a piece of plumbing in his chest is pure genius. The scene where Arnold brings his grown-up daughter on his hip is over-the-top hilarious. The movie seems a bit long but otherwise it is entertaining.

I have no idea what the budget was for this spoof of the 80's Commando flick, I don't think it was much. around the 30 minute mark I began thinking "I hope this doesn't go on for too long". An hour and 35 minutes was way too long for this, I don't think that a spoof needs to copy/reenact most of the original movie. An hour would have been better forcing scenes to be cut/shortened or improved.

This is not a masterpiece, it's mildly entertaining with bad acting sound effects, which mostly work. Yakov Jakemoff looked more like Joe Dirt than a menacing foe. I could go on, but I don't like reading long comments/reviews, so I won't expect you to do so.

Overall, I had a few giggles. Probably not the best spoof of a movie, but definitely above average. I would recommend this to watch.
