Is the intro to Last Action Hero the greatest scene in motion picture history?

The movie was too forward thinking for a summer blockbuster when it released. It's really one of Arnold's best movies as he shows off a bit of his acting chops as well.

Haha, took me a couple viewings as well. In my defense, I was 11 years old when I first saw it and English was not my native language.

Still remember the first time watching it. Prime Arnold; Terminator 2 to True Lies.
Great movie. It's one of those movies, where as a kid you just wanted to be in that universe. Walk around that police station and the video store.
But the film drags towards the and. It's too long, has too much plot. And even though I love Ian McKellan I find it weird they didn't get an actor who actually resembles Ingmar Bergmans Death character.
Are there any fan edits of this movie? Maybe some that edits it down and makes it a bit snappier?

Movie was ahead of its time. I remember it got panned but I loved it.
I love the "360/180" scene.

It's the greatest cock tease opening of a movie ever.
The rest of the film is ok but a movie in the style of the opening actually being played straight would have been 10,000 times better than the overly long, 4th wall genre commentary that we got

Danny: "There is no unattractive women here because this is a movie!"im more partial to the scene where the kid is trying to prove the world is a movie and they go to blockbuster.
Slater: "No, it's California."

Would have loved to see them recreate some scene from the film with Sly instead. Haha. "Come uh, with me uh, if you want to live, y'know"
How are you going to snap your fingers after I rip both your thumbs off?

The greatest scene in an action movie ever probably comes from Terminator 2
I still think the finale of Hard Boiled takes that.

That scene, framing wise, doesn't really make sense if you're watching it from Danny's perspective. Slater walking on top of the cop cars, legs only in view, slowly but surely in anticipation to reveal to us, Arnold's face with cigar in mouth. It's supposed to be the very end of the movie, but it's framed in such a way as to serve as the introduction of the main character to us, the audience.
LOOK, ELEPHANT!

It kinda pissed me off cause I wanted a little more of grizzled, scarred up face, no name actor John Connor, doing future shit.
The unshot prologue that JC wrote was pretty awesome.

Maybe he's thought to be dead in the film when the last act kicks in and its his return?
Chenny look at the deer
Funniest story ive heard about Commando is apparently for the opening scene where Arnold is carrying a massive log the crew were like "here arnold just lift this" and he was like fuck that its way too heavy.

It took me longer than it should have to get that joke when watching it as a kid. Cracks me up every time now.
