It's widely rumoured to have been converted into ''Film/DieHard'', although de Souza [[https://movieweb.com/die-hard-not-based-on-commando-2-script/ has denied this]] and the leaked script doesn't resemble ''Die Hard'' at all. The actual ''Commando II'' script features a serious ShockingSwerve near the end, as [[spoiler: Kirby pulls a FaceHeelTurn and becomes the film's BigBad.]]
