Schwarzenegger's Commando and the dawn of Commando-esque shoot-'em-up action games
Have you ever noticed that more than a few Nintendo games from the mid- to late-80s bear more than a passing resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger's seminal action movie Commando? It's not exactly news, but you can even see two Arnolds on the western NES release boxart for Contra, starring against each other (his Predator incarnation on the left, and his Commando incarnation on the right). Down to identical veins and little vest hooks!
