Commando
Movie • 1985 • Action
ReportJohn Matrix, the former leader of a special commando strike force that always got the toughest jobs done, is forced back into action when his young daughter is kidnapped. To find her, Matrix has to fight his way through an array of punks, killers, one of his former commandos, and a fully equipped private army. With the help of a feisty stewardess and an old friend, Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: finding his daughter before she's killed.

We're clearly not supposed to think of it as such, but Arnold grabs the front of the female lead's blouse and rips it open in order to create the impression that she is a sexual partner of someone he killed for the new bad guy showing up. That is, in fact, assault, though she ultimately willingly goes along with the ruse, but he could not have known that that would be her reaction and the point of the scene is to tittilate male viewers that he is doing something forceful like that to her. Of course, she then has to go through the rest of the movie with her blouse hanging open.

No. I was worried about it when they were fighting next to a furnace at the end, but it didn't happen. There are some explosions, but not any one person going up in flames.

The unrated version adds in some slightly stronger gore, but most of the film isn't particularly graphic.

It is threatened and there is a rather graphic line about killing the little girl (which they do not do). This comment happens about an hour in - as two guards are speaking outside the room they are keeping the girl in (right after Arnold gets into the sea plane).

No, but there is a very mild gay joke (my perspective as a queer person, especially given the homophobia the 80's typically dished out). Also, there is a white car salesman who keeps calling a Black customer "brother" in a less than racially kosher way (which probably ties into why the customer kills him).

As a gag, a fight spills into a neighboring hotel room where we see a surprised naked couple in bed, but there is not an actual sex scene per se.

No, but at one point it looks like a plane may crash into something, so there's a hint of the feeling.

Lots of deaths, but someone is impaled on a table leg, and an arm is chopped off, for instance.
