It seems that Russia is not content laying waste to European football clubs but it is also taking influence from 80s Schwarzenegger films. Taking its cue from Commando the Russian actioner Day D would appear to follow that movie to the 'T'. Except the actress playing the stewardess is hotter and she totes a bigger machine gun. How can you go wrong? Day D is being directed by and also stars Mihail Porechenkov. It also stars Barbara Porechenkova, Mikhail Trukhin, Alexandra Ursulyak, and Bob Schreiber.
Google Translate puts it like this... Mayor Airborne troops on behalf of Ivan resigns. Together with a small daughter Zheney sequester it in the forest village somewhere of Vladivostok. Their quiet violates arrival of Ivan former chief, Colonel Makarova, who announced a series of murders Ivan his former colleagues by the unknown criminal group. According to Colonel Makarova, will soon turn comes to Ivan. Immediately after the conversation with Ivan Makarov on the house to raid. Ivan does not save her daughter - her hostage unknown, and taken from their homes. Ivan puts in pursuit of the kidnappers...
Looks like big, stupid fun.
Thank you Vladimir
Mac - "Takes its cue" from Commando? More like a bona fide REMAKE of Commando!
Even his house in the woods looks the same. And not knowing any Russian I can tell it includes the exchange "Leave anything for us?" "Just bodies!" Having said that, it looks a lot of fun with the same goofy humour as the original.
This guy makes Arnold look like a seasoned thespian.
Yes, this looks like a remake actually, and one i'm actually curious to see, heck, there's even a "i let him go" scene and a sort of Sully character.
Shot For Shot Remake...Holy Crap. I could almost spot every scene from Commando, with slight variation (He's on a ski/sci doo!?).
