> History #25: Going Commando – Action Movies Galore
Humor, Horror, and Heavy Metal: Going Command. World War II and Vietnam. guys with guns, chicks with BIGGER Guns, tanks with EVEN BIGGER guns, and tons of dead people. ACTION MOVIES BELOW.
This little picture was drawn during my Commando phase in Grade School. I was BIG time into the war movies and I was constantly reading books about World War II and Vietnam. I would end up turning a good portion of my homework assignments into stories and pictures of guys with guns, chicks with BIGGER Guns, tanks with EVEN BIGGER guns, and tons of dead people. Let's not forget the dead people. Definitely lots and LOTS of dead people.

Here is a list of some of the Action movies I was worshipping at the time:

  • Aliens (1986): STILL one of my favorite movies to this day. Marines in space with scary fucking aliens trying to kill them (creatures created by H.R. Giger DEFINITELY no relation to H.R. Pufnstuff). Scary shit.

  • Commando (1985): Ahnold is pissed, decked out in camouflage, and spouting one-liners...again.

  • Cobra (1986): Stallone with a big gun, a toothpick, shades, and an attitude. Nothing cooler.

  • Escape From New York (1981): New York is turned into a the nations biggest prison in the future. Guess nothing has really changed then.

  • Rambo – First Blood (1982): C'mon... this is the beginning of John Rambo. Only the coolest, sneering, mumbling Vietnam Vet ever.

  • Full Metal Jacket (1987): Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece for MEN. TOO many GREAT lines in the movie to count ("Do you suck dicks?", "You had best unfuck yourself..", and MUCH MORE). R. Lee Ermey is the loudest, in-your-face, bad ass drill sergeant ever to grace the screen.

  • Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985): This is Mel before he decided to become sainted (and drunk). It has Tina Turner in it... not that this is a good thing, mind you.

  • Platoon (1986): I watched this so many times that I literally memorized all of the dialogue. I can still run through it. Biggest moral of this story: Willem Dafoe... not a pretty man.

  • Predator (1987): Ahnold once more...the only movie containing an entire cast of Hard Bodies turned United States Governors. Best Catch Phrase ever uttered by Ahnold:"You're one ugly Motherfucker!!!"

  • Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981): All of the other Indiana Jones flicks fall under this as well. There is NOTHING more kick-ass than a university professor who travels the world looking for treasure, getting chased by nazis, watching the same nazis MELT by the hand of God, and then getting the chick in the end (if ya know what I mean).

  • Red Dawn (1981): The Russians are COMING!!! The Russians are COMING!!! One of my favorite movies as a kid. Me and my friends wanted to run off into the woods with guns and piss in radiators after this one.

  • The Terminator (1984): Holy Crap, its Ahnold yet AGAIN!!! Dudes, he's a robot from the future come back to the 80's to kill, kill, kill John Connor. Too many one-liners to count. Beautiful.

  • War Games (1983): Ferris Beuhler versus a computer that's gonna blow us all to hell. Sweet.
