About ‘Conan the Barbarian’, ‘Commando’, and ‘Predator’
‘Predator’ from 1987 is one of Schwarzenegger’s most popular roles, featuring him as Dutch, who takes his team on a rescue mission in Central America. What they thought was a simple mission turns into a game of life and death as an extraterrestrial warrior hunts them down. ‘Commando’ follows a former U.S. special forces soldier who goes on a hunt after he is pursued by the same mercenaries who killed all of his friends. The sequel in the works will follow the story directly after the end of the first film. Lastly, ‘Conan the Barbarian’ is about a young Cimmerian boy who is captured by evil forces and enslaved for years. After working and labouring away, the boy becomes a gladiator and escapes the clutches of the evil king. Free and boiling with vengeance, he pairs up with other groups to exact revenge on the king who had wreaked havoc on the land for years.
