Bezenby This is one of the most entertaining Italian films I've ever sat down to watch. And I really mean that. By the time Reb Brown and Jakoda were squaring up for the most half-arsed punch up ever committed to film, I was dragging my wife away from feeding our kids to see the randomly appearing waterfall, poking her in the shoulder with my finger, crying 'listen to Reb Brown's weird voice'.Oh, to have been there in 1986 or 1987 when someone probably sneaked a bag of weed onto the set of Strike Commando, causing Bruno Mattei, Claudio Fragasso, and Reb Brown to say 'Ah, we're too stoned to carry this one out, let's just botch it!' turning Strike Commando into what started out as a First Blood 2 clone into something much more profound, and we the audience get to see the actors and staff involved struggle to deliver a coherent film as Brown continually gurns for the camera. No one involved in this film cared about the end product, and what we have is truly one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Speeches about popcorn growing on trees in Disneyland. The aforementioned punch up which has zero continuity. The second punch up with the same guy which ends so stupidly I couldn't even spoil it here. Brown's err 'disclaimer' at the end of the film. The last half of the movie being totally insane. Brown shrieking 'Our father who art in heaven' in a weird 'hair-metal' voice. Honestly, Bruno Mattei is just beyond crazy. He seems to tackle his films in the most lazy way, just hoping he gets to the end somehow and submits a film that lasts 90 minutes. For some reason, when he does that, we end up with greatness. I hail Bruno Mattei for Strike Commando, truly one of the greatest product to emerge from Italy.

dbborroughs American commandos in Viet Nam raid an enemy depot. During the operation they are discovered and the general in charge sets off the explosives before his men get clear. All but one are killed. The survivor makes it to a small village where he's hailed as a savior. He briefly helps the people before being rescued. He is sent back to the village to help organize resistance but arrives to find everyone dead. He is captured and tortured by Soviet and Vietnamese bad guys.Testosterone pumped action film gets sillier and sillier as it goes on, with torture sequences that will have you on the floor laughing. You will not believe that anyone could have been even remotely serious in this out there exploitation film that is nominally a rip off of the Rambo movies. Give the producers credit for keeping things moving and action packed but where you watched the film at the start because it was interesting action drama by the end you're watching because the film has become so over the top and silly that you want to see where its going to go. Granted its clear towards the end that the film is being slightly tongue in cheek, but at the same time its maybe a little too much.I liked the film bit at the same time I wish it had maintained one tone through out the whole thing. Its worth a look preferably with a bucket of popcorn, a soda and some people to laugh with.

Calder D. Holbrook Yes, the movie is bad. Tragically so. But I can't deny that I am overcome by a natural charm that movies this bad exude. Imagine a movie that cheerfully includes the hackneyed scene where the hero looks over the carnage wreaked by the bad guy and dramatically shouts his name out really long.Special note should be made of our lead man's character-building scene where he tearfully brags about the food and candy at Disneyland to a dying Vietnamese boy. Simply priceless. For this kind of badness there should be a medal. If you see it, go ahead and try it for a lot more laughs than you'd get from a genuinely good comedy. Look for Reb Brown's "performance".

RebBrown YES!!!!! THE ultimate Commando film!!!! Forget Stallone and Arnie, Reb Brown is the King, "there's no one who can touch him, not in your whole damn army!" This has all the necessary ingredients for a top notch piece of one man and a lot of weapons against an entire country of soldiers and mercenaries action!! Betrayed and left for dead by his superiors, our Reb sets out to escape from the POW camp and is taken in by some friendly locals who proceed to be brutally murdered by Russian monster Chacuuda!! After and excellent finding the bodies of massacred friends and screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to the sky scene, our hero sets off on the trail of Chacuuda and manages to kill an entire army before defeating the evil villain in hand to hand combat! This rules!!!! Watch it!!!
