Having watched this film again, it brought back memories of how enjoyable and funny it is. Ok, so it's unbelievable and the dialogue is littered with cliches, but the cliches are funny and the characters are so comic-book that it goes well with film.

I mean, this must be the film where Arnie has the most one-liners and kills the most people (undisputedly). The end scene where he mows down endless South Americans (who, on closer inspection are the same 10 extras with just different facial hair everytime) is priceless. Arnie strolls onto a garden lawn with guys shooting all around him who *somehow* manages to hit the leaves on the plants and missing him completely. Arnie throws a grenade 10 feet away from some soldiers, and they blow up sky-high. Grenade gets thrown right at Arnie's feet, and he gets a little graze on his stomach! But it's all good fun...

Arnie's complimented well by the energy of Rae Dawn Chong and the bad guy Bennett, who makes us believe he can beat Matrix with his stick-on moustache, chain-mail vest and beer gut! Also Alyssa Milano makes a great appearance as Arnie's daughter.

I definitely recommend this film for some quality entertainment - easy viewing and not much thought needed (what do you expect for a Schwarznegger film?). Just remember the one-liners: 'I lied', 'he's dead tired', 'let off some steam'...trust me, it will have you in stitches.
