LETTING OFF SOME STEAM
My brother and I grew up in the ’80s and loved the Sly/Arnie action films. But having read your ranking [‘The Ranking ’, issue #437] where Commando came second (and very nearly first!) —are you kidding?! It is total arse and definitely not one of Arnie’s best. Yeah, it might have more cheesy one-liners than Rambo II, but surely nothing will beat: “Mission... (bit of a pause)... accomplished,” snarled by an angry John Rambo!

Thank you, Tim, Chris, and the many, many readers who wrote in with feedback on Commando’s shockingly high place in our 1985 ranking. For your brutal honesty, Tim and Chris, have a Picturehouse membership on us. As penance, we’re off to hand-feed a baby deer.
