9. John Matrix - 81 Kills

The one-man-army movie to end them all, Commando is 1980's action cinema at its most testosterone-fueled and preposterous. Arnold Schwarzenegger's John Matrix is actually quite reserved in terms of his killing spree during the first two-thirds of the movie, but by the time he reaches Val Verde all hell breaks loose, with an entire army no match for the retired Special Forces soldier.

Matrix only kills about half a dozen people before he gets to the island, which makes the third act's body count all the more impressive. Knives, grenades, assault rifles and a rocket launcher take care of the waves of nameless henchmen, with arch-nemesis Bennett getting the honorable death of being impaled by a steam pipe and becoming the recipient of one of the greatest one-liners of the Austrian Oak's career in the process.

I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
