All Of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Commando' Kills, Ranked

Don't disturb my rankings. They're dead tired.

There's an excellent moment in the Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie "Commando" where flight attendant Cindy sums up every single ridiculous plot point in an equally ridiculous rant.

"You steal my car," she says, "you rip the seat out, you kidnap me, you ask me to help you find your daughter which I very kindly do, and then you get me involved in a shoot out where people are dying and there's blood spurting all over the place, and then I watch you rip a phone booth out of a wall, swing from the ceiling like Tarzan, and then there's a cop that's going to shoot you and I save you and they start chasing me. Are you going to tell me what's going on or what?"

His response? "No." Of course.

Welcome to "Commando," one of the most underrated films in the entire Schwarzenegger catalogue. He plays John Matrix, a retired commando who springs back into action when terrorists kidnap his daughter and threaten to kill her unless he cooperates with their demands. Spoiler alert: He does not cooperate with their demands, and they don't kill his daughter, because he kills all of them first, and Sully last. (Okay, maybe there's a lie in there somewhere.) Even though it's not named "Terminator," there's a real argument that "Commando" is the most lethal Schwarzenegger movie of them all — and it's all thanks to the final 30 minutes.

Today, "Commando" turns 30, and in honor of the milestone, let's look at all of Schwarzenegger's crazy kills in the movie, starting with the non-human and inanimate objects, and progressing into one of the most absurd ballets of blood ever put forth on screen. It should go without saying that the following images are not for the faint of heart.
