5. Val Verde Villa (Commando)
In theory, setting up base in a country you're the despotic dictator of is pretty damn sweet; just look at what M. Bison thought about it. Arius (Dan Hedaya) is the dictator of Val Verde (a fake South American country that 20th Century Fox use to avoid diplomatic Hell), and it seems to be a pretty damn good place to formulate some evil plans; it's isolated, not too large, is armed to the
gills, and what's more, Arius has stocked it with a healthy supply of guards. Oh, and the whole thing looks like a gorgeous vacation home resort, so it wouldn't be so bad if you had to lie low for a while or whatever. It's easy to watch Commando and assume that Arnie cutting through all those guards like warm butter with his machine gun is simply on a count of Arnie being too awesome to contend with, but really, it's a payroll and personnel issue that this lair sucks so much. Arius' seemingly interminable fleet of soldiers don't hit Arnie with a single bullet throughout the film's extensive shootout sequence, such that he's able to quickly make a B-line for Arius and shoot him in the head. If his men could have shot straight, then Arnie would have been screwed...
