Anecdotes
According to Alyssa Milano, Arnold Schwarzenegger was very protective of her on set. He also helped her with her homework.

Gaffes
When Matrix crashes his car while chasing Sully, neither Matrix nor Cindy are affected by the crash even though neither are wearing seat belts and the crash was powerful enough to severely damage the front end.

Citations
Sully: [20:34] Here, have some beers in Val Verde, Matrix. It'll give everyone a little more time with your daughter.
[Henriques laughs]
John Matrix: You're a funny guy Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

Autres versions
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. 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. All cuts were fully waived in 2007 by the BBFC (although it was not released until 2015). 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. In this version additional edits include, but are not limited to:
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. These second hits have been removed.
When Matrix breaks Henriques' (Charles Meshack) neck on the plane, he simply elbows him, and in the next shot, Henrqiues is already dead. The shot of Matrix snapping Henriques neck is gone.
The shot of the piece of wood sticking through Cooke's stomach is absent.
All close ups of the pole in Bennett's (Vernon Wells) stomach are gone.

Classic Arnie mayhem.

Disgraced commando Bennett (Vernon Wells) kidnaps Jenny (Alyssa Milano), the teenage daughter of his retired superior John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger), with the hope of blackmailing her father into killing the president of a banana republic. Matrix has other ideas, and, with a little help from trainee pilot Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong), borrows a shopping cart full of weapons, a pair of flippers, and some black Speedos to wage a one-man war against the bad guys.

If my memory serves me correctly, Commando was the first 18-certificate I ever saw at the cinema, so nostalgia undoubtedly plays some part in my love for the film. Taking off my rose-tinted glasses for a second, I can see that the film is incredibly naff in places, with numerous cheesy action scenes in which the hero stabs, shoots and blows up countless enemy soldiers (including numerous static dummies) without suffering so much as a scratch.

However, with star Arnold spitting one-liners like an Uzi spits bullets, lively direction from Mark L. Lester (Class of 1984, Showdown in Little Tokyo), a script that acknowledges its ridiculousness (Cindy proclaiming "I can't believe this macho bullshit"), and lots of OTT cartoon-style violence, it all amounts to a hugely entertaining dollop of '80s action excess. **Puts rose-tinted glasses back on** they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
