- The stolen 48 Hours theme is put in both categories.
- Rae Dawn Chong's character joins Team Arnold almost immediately despite his wrecking her car, like instant Stockholm syndrome.
- By the end the three are a full-on 80s sitcom family hugging on the plane, though the kidnapped girl should be scarred.
- Not getting Commando 2 is named an aged-worst pick; the sequel was set up with Kirby and one last job.
- Rae Dawn Chong firing the missile launcher is offered as improbable, but others disagree and call it great, including her first firing it backwards.
- The police let a mall-rampage suspect found with a pile of weapons walk out unhandcuffed and ride in the back of a truck.
- A 'former' South American dictator makes no sense, and the Dan Hedaya casting is awful.
- Going under the bed returns, and the closing song, 'We Fight for Love', is horrible compared with Peter Cetera ('Satera' in the transcript) or Point Break's ending.
- Her plan to fire the launcher at the truck Arnold is in could have gone badly, and destroying the yellow Porsche hurt. — Shea Serrano
