In December 2004, I received an e-mail from Mark L. Lester (Director of Commando) stating that he enjoyed CommandoFans.com, and if there were any questions he could answer, to let him know. After consulting with members of the Commando Fans Message Board, I compiled 9 quick questions to ask him. Below is my e-mail to him, and his reply e-mail to me:

Dear Mr. Lester,
Thank you for your kind comments about Commando Fans. I am honored by your endorsement! I must say that it's amazing to be corresponding with the Director of COMMANDO. Everyone on the message boards is very excited. It would be a crime not to ask you a few questions, and the message board members have compiled a few quick ones:
1.) As a director, did you enjoy making Commando?
2.) How long did it take to shoot Commando?
3.) Were there any budget problems?
4.) How was Commando received when it was released?
5.) Who made the decisions for Bennett's 'chain mail vest' costume?
6.) Was there any extra footage removed from the uncut 'tool shed scene'?
7.) What was the hardest stunt to do?
8.) What was it like working with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
9.) and finally...What WAS in Jenny's sandwich?
Also, if there's any other information about the film you'd like to add, please do so.
Sincerest Regards,
Andrew LeRoy

Andrew:
1.) Yes, I loved it. Great time. All actors wonderful to work with.
2.) 45 days of shooting.
3.) None, right on budget. Cost was about $10 million dollars - a lot back then.
4.) Fantastic. #1 film in the first 2 weeks of released. Grossed $35 million in the US . Big numbers in 1985.
5.) I chose the costume for Bennett.
6.) No extra footage from tool shed scene but the rating board made us quick cut some shots to get the R rating.
7.) Rolling the car in the opening scene. The stuntman took 4 tries to do it. We were shooting in Griffith Park and landscape difficult.
8.) Arnold is a great man. Easy to work with, very cooperative. Followed all my instructions to the letter. Even agreed to the short haircut, which started a craze at the time.
9.) Peanut butter.
Keep in touch, happy to answer anything. One of my favorite movies along with my Class of 1984, being released on DVD soon. Tell Fox, I'll do a commentary if they ask.
Sincerely,
Mark L. Lester

son BETRAYAL avec Erika Eleniak a l'air de donner aussi.
-T'as la trouille mon salaud? 'ben tu devrais...Parce que le beret vert que tu as devant de toi va te bousiller la gueule..."je te préviens j'suis Béret Vert!"
Arnold:"Des bérets verts, je m'en tape 5 au petit déjeuner"
Eric adore l'oeil de lynx de Romain... rien ne lui échappe!!Romain a écrit :Le vrai Fan remarquera que la figurine où Matrix est torse-nu n'est pas correcte puisqu'il ne retire sa veste qu'une fois blessé par la grenade...
Et là...pof...pas de blessure...
