The latest movie to get shoved into the Hollywood remake meat grinder is the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Commando. This movie holds a special place in my heart. I have seen it at least twice a year since I was 10. If I'm flipping through channels and this movie is on I will stop and watch it no matter how far along it is. This travesty will be written/directed by David Ayer whose past work includes Street Kings, Harsh Times and Training Day. According to the article by deadline.com Ayer will be making a more realistic version.
"Ayer's protagonist will be less brawny, but more skilled in covert tactics and weaponry."
You might as well call it Taken 2: electric boogaloo or the Bourne Tortada. Commando is the epitome of 80s action cinema, big muscles, big guns, big explosions, Rae Dawn Chong, Cheezy villains(The main guy looks like an overweight Freddy Mercury) and hilarious one liners. Why even use the Commando name? So far, this sounds like the opposite of Commando. I can already see it PG13, CGI blood and they'll cast Adrien Brody to replace Arnold like they are doing in Predators.WTF.
