Testosterone Overload: Top Ten Films To Pump You Up

2. Commando

Any movie that starts with Arnold Schwarzenegger straight up carrying an entire log deserves a place on any testosterone movie list. Don’t believe me? YouTube the trailer right now, that’s all the evidence you’ll need.

Much like Die Hard, Commando defies all odds by pitting one expert soldier against an entire small army. Not just any soldier I may add, as the legendary Austrian body builder extraordinaire takes down poorly matched henchmen with his usual cocky flair. Counting every over the top 80’s kill and each increasingly cheesy one-liner (“Let off some steam…”), Arnold’s macho exploits define the term “manly man.”

Commando only amps up intensity, having Arnold betrayed by an old squad member named Bennett, adding a dramatic element to already overwhelming circumstances. You can’t help but cheer on the one man army, using an awesome arsenal of weaponry to dole out sweet revenge one empty shell at a time.

The 80’s were a special time for action movies, finding that perfect balance of minimal story telling and maximum popcorn worthy action. Commando exists as a shining example of such.
