Commando (1985)
Smart in all the best ways and dumb in all the best ways, this one finds former commando John Matrix (Schwarzenegger, of course) trying to save his daughter (Alyssa Milano) from the deposed leader of fictional Val Verde, a country that also pops up in Die Hard 2 and other films by writer-producer extraordinaire Steven E. DeSouza.
Arnold delivers some masterful one liners, none better than the one after he drops a baddie off a cliff, and then flight attendant/pilot/rocket launcher operator Rae Dawn Chong asks what he did to him. “I let him go,” Matrix replies.
