Commando: The Torment of Bennett

[Earl1972]

I find it odd that in 1984, Cameron chose a 230-240LB Terminator. Then in 1991 he wanted a 160-170LB Terminator.


Dolph Lundgren would’ve been better IMO

because the T1000 is a completely different model terminator, makes sense that they would look different

the terminator originally was supposed to blend into normal society, as if it could look like an old woman to surprise it's target, which is why his first choice was originally lance henriksen to be the terminator

cameron talked about all of this in the dvd commentary, it wasn't until he saw arnold in person that he thought his build was the perfect look

robert did an excellent job, dolph would just be a generic arnold knock off

You're judging the story from a bodybuilding fan perspective ....

The new terminator  was more advanced ,supposed to be an updated MODEL ...

being heavier is a direct sign of being obsolete  in any machinery technology .

Bringing an android assassin totally different from the previous movie  was the turning point and the success of the franchise ,

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH   LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I absolutely hate shitty casting when it comes to villains. That's why Booty had Lee fired.

Who was on more gas in Rocky IV Stallone or Dolph?

First off, it has nothing to do with height.

If we are assuming that they are both using....They both looked great for the movie scenes. Dolph was  much taller, but that doesn't mean he had to take more to get more. Hell, I'd argue that both were around the same body fat, and were just as muscular.

Dolph was just taller.

That would’ve been great! That makes sense. Idol had a good look for that type of role.

Ironically, Bennett did always remind me of Freddy Mercury, but somehow gayer.

I thought they could have picked a better and more sinister looking bad guy. Bennett was so gay he made Richard Simmons look like the punisher.

I always wondered why they didn't instead go with classic 80's bad guy actor Brian Thompson.

Vernon Wells wasn't the original actor cast to play Bennett. He did audition for the role and lost to Wings Hauser. On the first day of filming, however, director Mark L. Lester fired Hauser and hired Wells. This is the reason that Bennett's clothes seem so tight, because Wells was bigger than Hauser, and the production didn't have time to make a new costume.

Bennett, in real life, is probably MUCH more down to earth than Schwarzenegger and Milano.

As a matter of fact, these days, I would rather meet Bennett over Schwarzenegger. I don’t know when exactly Arnold became a puppet for the Deep State, but he and Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro and Johnny Deep really took a wrong turn somewhere in the past 10-20 years.

They all sold out and joined the "small and useless" club.
