- Why no Commando 2, when sequels such as Rambo 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Rocky IV and a long-planned Terminator 2 were working? Maybe Arnold was uninterested or annoyed he only got a thumbs up instead of a full review.
- Arnold's schedule (Raw Deal in 86, Predator and Running Man in 87, Red Heat in 88) left room if Raw Deal or Red Heat were swapped out.
- Val Verde was reused in more than one movie by the same producer, so why did it not become the go-to fictional country like Wakanda or Zamunda?
- After landing, do they face charges, since she might have killed two cops with the rocket launcher, and what becomes of Ray Dawn and Arnold? One view says she is falling for him; another says she stayed only to see the girl.
- Of Commando 2, Roadhouse 2 with Swayze and Point Break 2 with Reeves, Point Break 2 is the bigger miss; Bodhi should return only in Point Break 4, and Fast and Furious shows the formula works.
- A Commando sequel with Danny Glover replacing Arnold is not the formula.
