Seriously though what was up with the bad guy in commando? Did he look way different during casting and then decided to have a cheeseburger and heroin diet? Is he the friend of someone who made the movie? He looks like a $5 Freddie Mercury knockoff, and the only aspect of that movie that’s ever bothered me is the fact that he was a bad guy and was supposed to be feared.
What’s wonderful is that isn’t even a chainmail shirt. It’s loose-knit sweater vest. I’m not sure if they were hoping no one would notice, or if most of us watched it on 480p VHS.
I like to think that his grandma knitted it for him.

He was cast because he was in the mad max movie a couple years before, and the director thought he could hold his own ground opposite Schwarzenegger
Thanks for the info! So he did kind of let himself go after being in mad Max, because yeah, that character would have been a decent bad guy.
I’m just surprised they were like,'fuck it, we already bought a chainmail shirt his size, and I’m not watching anymore casting VHS’s

Oh my fucking God, your right! I always thought it was a chain mail vest!
Was it maybe supposed to be chainmail?
They sometimes use (or at least used to) knittings like this as chainmail stand-ins during stunts or for background extras. LoTR is full of it
