Commando Director's Cut

Why aren't all movies like this? Simple, violent, and goofy at times. Here a young Arnold Schwarzenegger is hell-bent on killing around 1,000 people to save a very young Alyssa Milano. As a bonus, it also features one of the least intimidating villains ever. (Nothing like the main bad guy looking like a fat Freddie Mercury trying out for the Village People.) This edition hypes five minutes of "never-before-seen" footage added back into the movie that is virtually indistinguishable. We're totally cool with this because we hate when directors are allowed to screw up movies we love as is. The short featurettes are new; and while they don't include the current California governor, they do have a very loose-lipped Rae Dawn Chong, who finally won us over with her sense of humor and honesty… Though we could have skipped the part where she talked about Ah-nuld's package. We've got enough to be insecure about.
