The way the above antagonist prances around after Matrix's daughter once she escapes her room is hilarious.

I suppose Commando wins it as its still a total joy to watch nearly thirty years later. I should try and answer it again in another twenty five years and see if i still rate Taken so highly. |
Both are indeed superb actioners and
Commando is definitely the more outrageous outing with
Taken maintaining a more serious edge imo.

I like Lester's
Class Of 1984 even though it's not an actual action film and i agree
SILT is an horrendous effort that pales vastly in comparison to
Commando.

Yep, Bennett's facial expression when Matrix convinces him to fight one-on-one is absolutely priceless. Eyes wide and mouth open in an ecstatic state of mouth-watering anticipation of finally killing his old army adversary.
