COMMANDO (1985) Movie Poster Refrigerator Magnet - Design Description

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic design of the 1985 "Commando" movie poster, a powerful visual representation of 80s action cinema. The artwork immediately conveys the film's intense and explosive nature, focusing on the character of John Matrix and his unwavering combat readiness.

Heroic Imagery

The primary visual element is a striking close-up or half-body shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Matrix. He's depicted in full action attire, often with a tactical vest, immediately signaling a military presence and combat expertise. Matrix is typically armed, holding a weapon such as a rifle or grenade, which establishes him as a force to be reckoned with. This imagery symbolizes strength, resilience, and the relentless determination to overcome any obstacle.

Visual Impact and Symbolism

The poster's design is heavily influenced by the action genre's aesthetic of the time. The bold, blocky typography used for "COMMANDO" and Schwarzenegger's name, further enhances the poster's visual impact, echoing the raw, unyielding nature of the film. The prominent placement of the title reinforces the film's central theme and the star power of Schwarzenegger. Some versions incorporate elements of explosive action, such as helicopters or jungle backdrops, deepening the thematic elements of conflict and high-stakes adventure.

Overall Impression

The poster design is a quintessential example of 80s action movie marketing. It is more than just a promotional image; it's a visual promise of intense action, heroic defiance, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. It captures the essence of John Matrix: a one-man army, ready to face any challenge and exact a brutal form of justice. This magnet is a tribute to the film's lasting legacy and an embodiment of classic action movie iconography.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
