I really think Arnie should stick to comedy or his established franchises . . . Terminator, True Lies. Twins was hysterical . . . Junior was a little odd, but I loved Jingle all the Way and Kindergarten Cop.
"It's not a tooomah!"
i once heard that in commando, that in the part where Arnold chops off that guy's arm with a machete, that he originally smacked the de-armed guy with his own chopped off arm but they edited that part out. has anyone else heard about this? do you think it's true?
Looks like it's not.
Alternate Versions for
Commando (1985)
The UK version has been censored in the scene where Arnie hides out in a garden shed. We no longer see him axe a man groin and chop another man's arm off. There is also reported to be a cut in the final showdown, where a close-up of a pole in a man's stomach has been removed. The UK laserdisc version is reportedly uncut, but the British Board of Film Classification have not reclassified the film since it's original release, so this may be a mistake by the distributors.
German TV-Version was edited in order to reduce violence. The Rental-Video by 20th Century Fox is also cut.
The movie was banned twice for Swedish cinema. Then an another distributor picked up the film and released it on video with 15 min of cuts (the distributor itself cut it).
When shown in Swedish television, it was uncut.
Australian DVD release is edited, must be a transfer from UK version. One of the cuts is when Matrix breaks the guy's neck in the plane. Matrix just hits him and at the end he's dead. The original Australian version is uncut.
The new 20th Century Fox DVD-Release in Germany is uncut.
