Commando: Best/Worst line ever?

Commando: Best/Worst line ever?
We talked about Commando in class and this scene came up.  It is probably the best line/killing ever.  I never understood what made Bennett such a badass.  He looked like an out of shape dude from Wal-mart with a mesh vest.  And, what about those badass leather pants?  They couldn't have hired a muscle bound dude? 
Can you imagine the force it would take to throw a pipe like that through a thick guy like Bennett?  And, isn’t he wearing a chain-vest too?  That would make it even harder to cut through his body. 
I also would like to note that there is an Urban Dictionary entry too. 
Next time you’re in a fight to the death, make sure to throw a pipe through their stomach and say, “Let off some steam, Bennett.”
 Pipe it through the system. 

I let him go…

  1. It is bad costuming on their part. Vernon Wells is buff.

    He was the main baddie in The Road Warrior.

    And he has a great sense of humor about his career too:

  2. yeah, that video was great. It put a smile on my face. He's done a lot of roles where he screams a lot.

    yeah, the mesh Chailmail was a bad idea. Not even in the 80s didn't one dress like that. I'm sure someone might try to dress like that now to be ironic.
