Schwarzenegger as John Matrix in Commando (1985)

[MrOlliguitar]

the chainsaw is just there for show... he chopped the tree with his hand.

[plastique45]

Thumbs up if you grew up thinking bodybuilding was the key to military success.

[MrHoppers002]

damn arnold why did you hav eto go running for governor. That ruined your life. You should've done what stallone did. stay in the action movie game and keep that awesome physique you had. :)

[fatmike01]

astalawaga fella

[CooochMcGoooch]

Como esta! [get knifed]

[gaylordNL]

watch close...the log is hollow and filled with styrofoam or somthing...haha

[24Stiffler]

Let off some steam bennet......

[DyingSID666]

He smelt them coming

[Octopolish]

Arnuld carries a lot of wood, jah...

[cataldz1]

the tree is his arm ffs

[KmdLtd216]

Dutch > Matrix

[DaimondInTheRough]

Ohh Im lumberjack and im okay :P

[Ultralism]

In the future, the 80's in general, and this movie in particular, will be researched to restore manliness in a pussified world.

[Nerevar1990]

Wrong!

[epicvlas]

great scene

[Henzzman]

You are a funny guy sully.Thats why i am going to kill you last.

[boRja90]

I first saw this movie when I was 8 (now Im 20), and I just enjoyed it from start to finish.

Arnold, became in the best action actor ever to me, 2 weeks ago, i showed the film to friends, and they freaked out when Arnold shows up with a fuckin tree.

EPIC.

[tsrajan1]

The best is when he goes God Mode in the end, I can't even do that in Modern Warfare 2...like a 250:0 K/D ratio!

[aboeljamal]

what's the name of this song??



[emilioarroyomohamed]

One arm, one tree.

[SilentSprinter]

ARNY SUPER KILLER!!!

[Pradaotors]

this is reall the best movie ever.

[Pradaotors]

This is really the best movie ever.I will make karriere like he.

Manager and to be a general

[finalcut75]

I really don't understand why they continued making movies after commando came out... How can you top this 49 second clip of Arnold carrying a log ? You can't !

[RetroJenny]

"Remember Sully when I said I would kill you last." "That's right, Matrix you did." "I lied." Best line ever.

[Pederzen100]

They dont do muscle-zoomins and endless ammo-aimbot carnage in movies anymore :( i miss the golden 80's action flicks

[Mr12azaza]

I love it!!!

[damiresq]

I watch this every day when I'm gettin ready for going to the gym :))

[wilfryjules]

Bien sûr que c'est un vrai tron !!! Vous prenez Schwarzenegger pour qui!!!

C'est à cause de ce putin de film que j'ai commencé la muscul !



[turbots]

my ultimate bad-ass movie of all times!!! Used to watch this beginning scene over and over when I was a kid

[littlewalk]

notice the tree log is fake lol

[rainxxxx]

@littlewalk no we diddnt fag!

[Chabalien]

Arnold, a true man !!!

Greatest movie at all time !

[D7eadnaught]

Dont think he did a risk assessment with that saw!

[cacaman11]

lol they zoom in on his bicep

[Brutaka921]

@cacaman11 Well he was the greatest body builder of his time, so they made sure people remembered that.

[KHEBIKER15]

classic

[loveSc7]

AND, when a movie in fact almost begins with the scene of someone's biceps that is a sign that it is either a very bad movie or the most epic movie of all times

[loveSc7]

hey don't you think that they should have made something like a "Commando: directors cut" and the whole movie would be only Arnold carrying logs and paddling a boat like at the end of the movie? That'd be great x)

[jlobillorecio]

anybody knows what is the name of the song which is sounding?

[weathered79]

i wonder how much that log weighs

[Lufttygger306]

@weathered79 For some reason, i burst out laughing by that

[AndresRequenaFielOE]

bien mamado!!!!!!

[Fuel1873]

this is the scene i remember seeing when i was 4 and was in awe at the time on how huge i guy can be and strong as hell

[expedition16]

Commando has THE BEST opening ever.

[KraigieAdare]

So like if he has a chain saw why is he using an axe to chop the wood up?

[mobius1aic]

@KraigieAdare That's how real men do it. 

[KraigieAdare]

@mobius1aic yes but why didnt he use it to chop the tree down?

[mobius1aic]

@KraigieAdare He needed to save time in order to kill more people. Besides, it would be difficult to use a chainsaw on small pieces of wood for a fire place. An axe will give you those nice cuts.

[rainxxxx]

@KraigieAdare he did, he chopped the wood once it was down!

[infrabuse]

Hey tree, remember when I said I was gonna cut you down last? ... I LIED!!

[MeBenHalpin]

One of Arnie's best action movies.

[busheytube]

Best movie EVER. Gotta love it. The dude has to basically kick half of Cuba's ass to get his daughter back.

[MeBenHalpin]

@busheytube And he pretty much does, one man killing like 100 baddies.

[jflasssh]

that log is fake!!!

[rainxxxx]

@jflasssh so's your mum!

[Fender1976uk]

You think this is better than predator?? as you can see in this clip! Arnold was training with the tree! he knew one day he would have to know how to drop one on some alien creatures head

[MeBenHalpin]

@Fender1976uk Think its better than Predator, for some reason that film makes me quiver.

[Fender1976uk]

But don't worry! Arnold had it all under control! he trained on how to use trees in Commando so he would be ready for the pussy alien in Predator! why do you think he wasn't in Predators? they wouldn't have a chance against Arnold! it could have been called Arnold vs Predators! they would have needed alot of Predators to make the film last

[Hatinonthehaters]

Gotta love AHNOLD! he was a good looking dude, no homo.

[Dewzy100]

who's he gonna hit with that tree....?

[coryboy345]

I would so DO Arnold Schwarzenegger..... hahah

[45383]

@coryboy345 hes an old man now...

[Eksimilio]

Hi, guys check out my parody of this movie.. go to my videos and you will see;-)

[a90sfan]

Arnold just kicked Paul Bunyan's ass, and he's bringing the proof home.

[TheHJman]

If someone doesn´t know this, the first Die Hard movie (1988) with it´s plot and environment was originally meant to be sequel to this movie. Not sure how it could have turned out as a sequel, though.

[rainxxxx]

@TheHJman they could have easily made a sequal if they wanted to, but arnie would not have been in it!

[vincentchivello]

He actually punched the tree until it fell down.

[emdiuenmaxi]

this scene is a classic of the 80's

[ZimmermanTelegram]

saw this when i was 11. Epic movie.

[timelessfilmscenes]

I think Arnie might be carrying a prop log painted to look real or a hollowed out real log with the ends sealed. I could be wrong. But it makes you wonder. The cuts and bark don't look right. Funny no one else though that. I used to love films like this and all older films when I was a kid. I loved trying to figure out how they did stuff. No if you see a movie there is no mystery or fun for your imagination to figure SFX out , it's just Microsoft and apple.

[chreberle]

@timelessfilmscenes of course this log is fake. A log this size is VERY heavy and even if you are a bodybuilder or a strongman... you don't walk around with a log like this so easy... or at all...

But it's a movie, a real great and fun one!

[PeterStevens01]

Your comments make me laugh, if Matrix was here he'd laugh too.

[xvxpivotxvx]

God, Arnold is a fucking TANK.

[jameseyk1]

how heavy would that log have been?

[CleverDjembe]

@jameseyk1

If it was real, I'd estimate 180pounds. I've carried puny logs half that size, and they restrict blood flow to your shoulder so much that after a few mins, you'll be aching to put the log down.

[MrSlowSkyline]

FUCK I LOVE THIS PART

[Genossin110]

Oh i love this movie i think its one of his best films ever!!!!

[filmer197]

really good soundtrack in this movie

[rainxxxx]

@filmer197 i got it, its great!

[KHEBIKER15]

wen i saw this i was 6..i wanted to be jus like that

[zdrav4072]

Awesome neat vid!Love heroic movies.Blessed

[cornel10]

he-he-he, old tricks, a polistiren tree trunk.

[reubentg]

this is gay

[Saint1429]

"Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok

I sleep all nite and the barely I way I wear women's clothing

Yah"

[Noromongrel]

Best action scene ever.

[SombraroKilla]

he could eat that log if he wanted

[loveSc7]

hes the reason why i started to building muscles =D and one day, when i become big, i'ma go through the city with my own log too =DDD

[stalactite56]

intense

[alamol93]

he carries a log... and yet it's one of the greatest scenes

[indiancricketfansNY]

Please don't disturb my friend...he is dead tired.

[Henzzman]

Now thats what i call badass.Man anybody, who gets on his way with that log,is dead.

[partygirl209]

man!! look at those arms!!

[finerhope231]

sully i said kill you last

lie

had to let him go

[somethinglacking1]

sexy.

[reniisgod]

Your a funny guy Sulley...thats why im going to kill you last

[dknight7]

I looooooove this movie. I always wondered as kid if that was an actual tree or a prop ??? :P

[TheBrotherhoodOfSony]

let off some steam bennet.

[Brady2k10]

bad ass. i grew up watching this wanting to be a commando, guys a legend.

[chickenmobile]

mmm muscles and boots... kinky.. and the LOG OMG

[SolidRev28]

ha ha fuckin classic arnold right here! I grew up on this shit!

[broccol]

How much this would weight in real?

[Hhamsteri]

It depends on what type of wood that log was. Most wood types aren't all that heavy, so even a smaller man might be able to carry a log that size with relativelly little difficulty.

[cardosoman]

he lives in the woods

[mtube1990]

I'm a lumberjack and it's okay.

[axel310]

he must be strong to carrie that log :D

[JakeSolitaire]

This is the greatest action movie ever made.

[EmoticonProductions]

no

this is the greatest movie ever made

[Hallinilla5]

"Put a KNIFE in me!"

[airsoftmama]

He's so Cock Diesel.

[huckfreeon]

One of ahhnold's greatest !!!

[sockbat25]

over compensating much??

[sickasso72]

I love those tan astronaut boots he's wearing. I want em!

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

That tree trunk is nearly as thick as Arnie's arms (^_^)

[jtnjkk]

BUT THEIR GOING TO KILL HER!!! Saying that in an arnold voice is shit.

[ERIKEPAIOS]

great music!

[ARNOLDisPREDATOR]

best movie ever!!! ARNOLD is my hero!!!

[DocePares11]

one of my favorite movie intro's ever

[ACD3SIGNS]

wicked the best arnold intro ever look at that man that,s what you call a muscle man no drugs pure muscle look at his muscles he can carry two

[LibertyPrimeV1]

no drugs? are you dumb? he even admitted he was on steroids in the early 80's to the early 90's

[MasterCress009]

70's buddy....when he was a bodybuilder.

[LibertyPrimeV1]

Point is? he himself said he took roids from the early 80's to the early 90's....soo?

[MasterCress009]

The point is, is that he admitted he used roids when he was bodybuilding. That was in the 70's....so im just pointing out you got the dates wrong.

[Skonmonke]

plus when he took them they werent illegal. they were basically supplements at the time

[ASDFGHJKLWTF]

subliminal messages....

I'm gonna go buy a log!

[KimLeesBoy]

Arnie at his absolute best. Shame they dont make these kind of movies these days........

[gun4hire]

John Matrix carries a log.

He certainly does.

[dudikof85]

great  music!

[TheUKImperial]

Hes actually carrying a fucking tree through the woods....

[ozzyyermom]

now thats some bear hunk of man chicken

[kmp3000]

Your training ..... Matrix!

[XtremePerformance]

he would not have a problem lifting that log , look how big he is.

[szybki1925]

Simply the best!!!

[laupiaslammas]

old movie but its good

[23RYDADDY23]

This is what cinema is all about.

[Squeglee]

First take... The awesome Caterpillars... next the saw, then the muscles...

[madmania9]

strong

[MPower507ch]

putin ça c'était un super bon film d'action j'ai du le voir et le revoir une cinquantaine de fois depuis l'âge de 7ans jusqu'à aujourd'hui rien que cette scene d'entré je l'ai revue plusieur fois en rembobinant la VHS ! la musique grandiose !

[sweethouze28]

ouais moi aussi...te souviens tu des nombreuses erreures dans ce film? Quand il accidente la porche jaune et quel que secondes plus tard elle est comme neuve...!!!

[patrikasLTL]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is....

THE' TERMINATOR  *Q*

[terisbub]

Was that real lumber?

[BeeABaw]

im sure it was cus its not a perfect looking log and he's arm is bulging so im sure it was heavy.

[doomstar]

Carrying a treed down a hill with 3 dead bears and a deer n the tree would have been up to arnold

[KineticFrenetic]

0:34 Homoeroticism at its finest.

[vorennaal]

Arni is a simple legend.

[Cromulus1]

HAHA, he's carrying a plastic log.

[ezhacker2]

LMFAOOO TRUEE!!!

[thejokeriscool]

Best intro ever! Carrying a tree down a hill one handed

[ovololloo]

sapete dirmi il titolo di questa canzone?? grazie..

[ovololloo]

qual'è il titolo di questa canzone?

[2012MUSTANG]

Nothing says "extreme" like steel drums.

[mierecords]

lol

[Henkkathehenkka]

Best movie ever ;)

[DX179]

i wish i had that kind of body and strength!

[Contrastos]

FANTASTIK FILM !!!!!!

[odiemodie1]

This totally kicks ARSE! Arnold in his top phys shape at the time! This is HIS first movie that showcases his bod and wise-cracking comments/one liners! Those mountaineer or construct shoes he's wearing became a hot sale during that time for muscle guys, and wannabes too. You can tell the movie is dated when he's talking to Alissa Milano in the kitchen scene when he mentions about Boy George. Nethertheless, still ROCKS!

[tiiito1988]

cool song from of 80's !!!!!!

[verse0001]

Arnies cool but this movies was a cheap mans rambo.

[Cromknife]

This movie is based on my life.

[Talbot6832]

Lol!

[idolpistona]

It was real, i was there I know that. Arnold pick up this tree and moves..

[delshizzy]

I wonder if that tree trunk was real?

[GinoRc]

No dude no way, is not real

[jaydenis123]

he is wicked

[mrdjman24]

arnie rules.....

this could be the opening scene of a movie called 'oakback mountain'

[dudikof85]

super scene and great instrumental song of 80s:))

[billysscorpion]

great scene arnold the best

[Tetsuo315]

Could Chuck Norris or the Technoviking do this?......I don't know

[rahan]

Legendary.

[JEISONSUAREZYATE]

Quiero saber como se llama la cancion que suena al final de la pelicula COMANDO de arnold...... Gracias

[quietearthMT]

Not only is he carrying a log, but he is carrying it across UNEVEN TERRAIN!

BAD ASS!

[skeeterou]

hey sully? remember when i told you i was going to kill you last?

i lied.

[MasterCress009]

I reckon he's in the best shape 4 this movie. awesome film

[DX179]

this movie is a classic. arnold had a great physique, and he rocks!!!!

[AnakinsGroupie]

Hotness.

Also, love the music! I just looked it up, and I can't believe it's James Horner! I honestly would never have guessed it was him.

[Amato1972]

Wel the music sounds about the same as it does in 48hours for example. imho its about as typicle James Horner music as it gets.

[AnakinsGroupie]

I guess whenever I think of his movies, I just automatically think of something like Braveheart or Titanic. I always forget just how many completely different movies he's scored. But you're totally right. This deffo does sound like a couple of his others.

[iarjo]

I'm love this musicccccccc
