Commando by a long, long way. I've not seen it for a few months now. :(

We used to watch it once a week with a load of beer. Those were the days, before University and a banana split girlfriend ruined everything.

I have 5 of the poll options on DVD.

I have Terminator 2 instead of 1. Prefer 2 by a mile. And Robocop never did much for me. He was too stiff.

Die Hard with Aliens as second. If your choice isn't out of those two then you're doing it wrong.

Robocop, without a shadow of a doubt. All are great fun and some are absolutely brilliant but none can compete with the almighty Robocop.

Empire's The 50 greatest movie finishing moves

Robocop comes in at 18 while Commando is at 8 :mrgreen: Terminator 2 and two other Rambo films get places as well.

Anyone who doesn't vote for Commando is dead wrong.
