I can’t believe it’s Wednesday again, I wonder where the time go. Speaking of time, there was a time action was defined by one man and his name was Arnie. He kicked ass every day of the week whether as a robot or a fictional character. In between the ass kicking he got his kicks playing Danny DeVito’s twin. I’ve collected a few unknown and known videos and music from some of his movies. I miss Arnie, I miss the 80s, I even miss his cliche lines. This is what’s good about music, it’s a time machine, it’s a way back to the past where Arnie broke the office instead of being in it. Ah well, enjoy!

I love Commando and that amazing song by the Power Station. The Power Station was comprised of members from Duran Duran and Robert Palmer but in this instance someone else took over the vocal duties.

Commando is also a very good hard to find type of soundtrack. The beginning section is very nice and James Horner uses steel drums here to their best effect. Way more than he did in 48hrs.

This brings back memories. Running man was done by Harold Faltermeyer of Axel F Beverly Hills Cop fame which reminds that I just heard to today. Eddie signed on for BVC 4

Commando is a score “everyone” wants. The various forums are filled with requests for that one. If I sold my copy on ebay I would probably make a million bucks… or more likely hundred :D

Wait, there will be BVC 4? Oh… Harold? Where Art Thou?
