- Well, part of the problem level here is that the ultraviolence level
- in the mainstream (e.g. Rambo, Terminator N) is so high that it is
- hard to do an "over-the-top" parody. The scene in which AF runs down
- a hall flanked by two galleries of machine-gun-firing opponents and
- not only doesn't get hit but manages to kill them all might seem more
- like a parody of the action-adventure drama if you hadn't seen AS
- (Arnold Schwartzenegger (sp?)) kill as many as easily during his
- storming of the bad guy's villa in Commando.
