The Four Horses of the Apocalypse, these film kick ass. These films stand for one thing. Being the best.
But anyway Predator what can i say? it rules. Having Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and Kevin Peter Hall hunt a alien that is far more advanced then them in everyway, but they do it anyway, thats called being a man. As the soldiers make their way to the extraction point, they are observed by an unknown creature, who uses infrared imaging to see. Which i have to say still looks awesome today. Once members of the team are slain mysteriously, they become aware that something in the jungle is stalking them, whose presence is confirmed by eerie sightings of a cloaked figure.
The acting maybe a little cheesy at times but other than that is amazing. There are some tongue in cheek moments when Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and CIA agent, George Dillon (Carl Weathers)
have a sacking hand arm wrestle and there is a close up of there arms. I'm guessing just to show they 'guns'.
As i have said the special effects are still cool to watch. The soundtrack as awesome and the explosions look great if your not going to by this box set I strongly recommend buying this.
Commando, more like ComMANdo. come on. Man's in its name. John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a special forces soldier who once led an elite unit and has left the armed forces to live in a secluded mountain home with his daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano). Unknown to Matrix, the members of his former unit are being killed one by one. Even though Matrix's friend Gen. Franklin Kirby gives Matrix armed guards, attackers manage to kidnap Matrix and Jenny. It a little like Predator, in the way of his team being killed one by one but theres it more of i story behind this than have heart stopping action. Don't get me wrong this film is loaded with it but it is built on more than explosions.. But there are a lot.
The is great there is some comedy thrown in there and the special effects look cool. This film is decently one to look out for.
The Terminator, Manator. what can i say that hasn't been said already? Everyone knows it is a great film.
In 2029, machines control the world and are bent on the extermination of humans. The machines send back someone from the future to May 12, 1984. This mysterious muscular man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) obtains weapons and begins hunting down anyone listed as Sarah Connor in the phone book.
Arnold Schwarzenegger played the bad guy in this film. But even though he does, he is still the main force of the film. This film I would say has the best story line because the fact of they are still making Terminator films. A new film, which hasn't got Arnold Schwarzenegger in it, is set to come out 2009.
But anyway back to this film. Acting great special effects are great story lines great. I cant really say more that hasn't been said. Bottom line get this movie.
And the last on our list. The Barbarian, Conan the Barbarian for it full title. In my eyes the weakest on the list. The story is about Conan, who witnesses the destruction of his village at the hand of three Vanir warlords: Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) and Doom's lieutenants, Rexor (Ben Davidson) and Thorgrim (Sven-Ole Thorsen). Conan's father (William Smith) valiantly fights the bandits, but Thorgrim and Rexor kill him with their pack of dogs. The battle is burned into the memory of young Conan.
It was a great film but it was a great film. Looking back on it how it hasn't aged well. The acting is a bit laughable at times and the 'special effects' are not really want I would called special effect. The story line is good however and when the acting isn't over the top its great. The soundtrack is also cool and fits with the film. But maybe I am being a little to harsh. It was released in 1982 well over twenty years ago and it would have be top technology back then. So have a look at this but don't take it to seriously.
Well there you have it, Four great Arnold movies. Wired to think that the Terminator is the Governor of California.
