[ReviewAZON asin="B000K0YLM8" display="inlinepost"]Commando is one of our beloved Governor Arnie's 1980's violence crazyaction flicks.

Its well loved amongst 80's kids for its cheesiness and extreme ultra-violence…only recently released as an R1 uncut edition.

But did you know that Commando is also a treasure trove of little known movie facts?

Thanks to Steve over at the Empire Forum for enlightening me to the hidden depths lurking inside this 1980's utterly shameless action epic…
