The shot of the piece of wood sticking through Cooke's stomach is absent.The shot of Matrix snapping Henriques neck is gone. When Matrix breaks Henriques' ( Charles Meshack) neck on the plane, he simply elbows him, and in the next shot, Henrqiues is already dead.In the opening scene, after Cooke ( Bill Duke) has initially shot the man in the robe, he walks over to the body and shoots him again.In this version additional edits include, but are not limited to: The heavily edited 2001 UK DVD version, with a total of 56 seconds removed, was also used as the master for the initial Australian DVD release. All cuts were fully waived in 2007 by the BBFC (although it was not released until 2015). The 2001 UK DVD release retained these cuts and also added a further 44 seconds of distributor cuts this was because the DVD master used for the UK release was a censored German/Scandinavian version. We want to root for him but does he really need us to root for him? As the audience, we know he's going to come out alright and that the "bad guys" never have good aim even when he's right in front of them.The original UK cinema and video versions were censored by around 15 seconds, and removed the shots where Matrix ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) slices off the soldier's arm with the machete as well as Bennett's death to remove a shot of the pipe in his chest and the tracking shot of it sticking from his body. And how that's possible is beyond me, and again, does it matter? Matrix is able to escape and with the help of a woman he kidnaps named Cindy, played by Rae Dawn Chong, he is able to track Jenny down to a little island off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. So, that's it, that's why he was abducted and his daughter was kidnapped. Arius wants him to commit a political assassination so he can lead a military coup. His daughter is kidnapped and he is blackmailed by a former Latin American dictator named Arius (played by Dan Hedaya who is probably better remembered by American audiences as Nick Tortelli on "Cheers"). Matrix is a former member of a special forces unit. But in "Commando," Arnold Schwarzenegger's character John Matrix is no match for the countless obstacles that are preventing him from saving his kidnapped daughter, played by a young Alyssa Milano. This is why "Die Hard" was such a great film, the hero of the film didn't look like everyone who came into his way was doomed. Apart from a bad script, there are numerous horrible one-liners and bad acting. These films have outlandish or undeveloped storylines that take a backseat to action sequences that involve the hero of the film being a one man army taking down countless "bad guys." It's an excuse for violence from men with too much testosterone and roid rage that appeals to the adolescent moviegoer. Do the plots in these films actually matter? Probably not. They're extremely boring, anticlimactic, unsatisfying, and for the most part bad films. Surround, Dolby A, Dolby SR, Dolby StereoĪction films don't impress me much. Instead, Matrix sets out to take down the rogue leader and rescue his daughter. After Kirby leaves, Jenny is kidnapped by former Latin American dictator Arius (Dan Hedaya), who wants Matrix to restore him to power.

Retired Special Forces soldier John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) lives with daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano) in isolation, but his privacy is disturbed by former commander Franklin Kirby (James Olson), who warns him that his fellow soldiers are getting killed one by one.
