The Terminator isn’t the only movie in which the Governator said, “I’ll be back.” He said it again in 1985’s Commando, and now our trusted and proven sources tell us Arnold Schwarzenegger is keeping his promise by returning for Commando 2.
The sequel’s proper name is Commando 2: , and Schwarzenegger is attached to reprise his role as former Special Forces Colonel John Matrix.
According to the logline for Commando 2, the plot won’t stray too far from the original. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s John Matrix is forced out of retirement when his daughter is kidnapped, leading him on a high-octane mission to rescue her and bring down the ruthless criminals responsible.
This sounds quite a lot like the first movie, in which his daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by mercenaries, opening the door for lots of shirtless firefight
It’s an interesting move for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will turn 80 at the end of July. T. Commando took itself a bit more seriously , but there’s no reason Commando 2 couldn’t go in a different direction.
What The Original Commando Was Like
While it was The Terminator that catapulted Arnold Schwarzenegger into superstardom, it’s Commando that made him an action hero. Unlike James Cameron‘s iconic sci-fi flick, Commando features Schwarzenegger as the protagonist. Many of Arnold’s subsequent films were far superior, but you can see all of what would become the hallmarks of a Schwarzenegger action blockbuster in Commando.
In particular, Commando began Arnold Schwarzenegger’s beloved delivery of corny, but irresistibly hilarious, one-liners.
