Title: Your favourite 80's Action movie?
Post by: Captain Equipoise on February 14, 2007, 01:44:24 PM
Seeing as Commando was on just last night I figured I'd take a poll and see what everyone's favourite 80's action movie is/was..  mine was probably DELTA FORCE with Chuck Norris.

First Blood
To this day the scene at the very end where he is talking to Troutman...

 "...he was  like I wanna Go Home, Johnny, I wanna Go Home...and I was trying to put my friend together but I cant find his legs...I cant find his legs...

 ...can't get it out of my mind...I wake up and I dont know where I am...i dont talk to nobody...not for a day...sometimes not for a week...."

 That part gives me goosebumps and still chokes me up.

 "...over there I was in charge of million dollar equipment, over here I cant even hold down a job...PARKING CARS! "

yes i love that scene. i understand what you mean 100%. there was actually an alternative ending to first blood but they didnt use it, thank god. Also love the beginning of the movie when he comes walking down the road with the music in the background. a special feeling.

Yep.

 What was the alternate ending? I remember reading about it once but I forgot it. Was it very violent?

 Yea...it was. He realized that his friend died from cancer. He just wanted something to eat.

 "...this wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for that bigshot cop...all I wanted was something to eat..."

 " They drew FIRST BLOOD, sir not me...they drew first blood..."

Apocolypse Now



1979.

Anyways, First Blood is THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, hands down.

blockhead, you forget the priceless look on dennehey's face when trautman tells him who he's fucking with.  he had that classic "oh shit" face.

since i saw that movie as a young pimp, i always wanted to get the "rambo knife".  it's made by Lile.  Sadly, the man who made it, Lile himself died and then his shitty family sold off the company to some China's.

Anyways, when you watch the movie again, when he melts down and pwns the entire police station, pause the movie for a second and go "now, was that really necessary?"  he destroyed dudes.  He even broke that one dude's nose who wasn't even trying to stop him, he was just carrying some paperwork.

"What do you hunt with a knife like this?  Elephants"

"Hey Mitch, make sure you get him behind the ears!!!11  (cue ass shot)"

No, because Dutch's last name is Schaeffer.  But you say to yourself "Power Rod, maybe they just changed his name to protect his identity in Commando".

Well they didn't, because his old commander and Bennet and everyone refer to him as Matrix, and they all knew him before he retired and moved out to the mountains to carry 20 ft. logs on his shoulder.

 Hahaha. I threw it against a tree to try to get it to stick? Broke right off. Hahahahahaha!

 Then when I saw Rambo...I wanted a Bow and Arrow. Hahahahaha!

Yea I heard that Predator was kind of a prequel to the charatcer or something.

 It's too deep. I'll get a headache.

 Know the music in Commando...when he's carrying the logs and all that? Or even when he's in the mall following 'Sully'? That shit is in my head all day long!

yeah ok, like some dude named Marlon Brando in a movie directed by some douchebag Francis Ford Coppola (who?) can ever match up to the multiple award winning performances of Sylvester Stallone under the guidance of none other than Ted Kotcheff, who directed not one, but five Red Shoe Diaries episodes, as well as the original Fun with Dick and Jane.

 When I tie my shoes or put my jacket on or even buckle my belt? The scene in Commanod when he's putting on all his gear on the beachfront dominates my thoughts...
