I am for realz. Just never saw 'em for some reason. Probably wasn't allowed to when I was younger and then forgot about 'em. So seriously, are II and III still good macho escapism? Cuz i'm thinking about a blind blu-ray buy..

Oh, and the UHF parody always made it just seem silly... this is hilarious, though... 😆

They're ok...but watching them now they will feel very outdated.
I mean they were very typical for action movies of the late 80's....big explosions, guns that don't run out of ammo & bad guys who can't shoot straight....

Lol, yeah. But the first one was obviously an older movie, but it really didn't feel too dated. I still really enjoyed it. II and III are much more dated?

Well Firstblood was true to the novel that it was based on.
It was a simple yet serious & violent story.

2 & 3 were basically an excuse to put a big gun in Rambo's hands & get him to save some POWS or stop the Russian army on his lonesome...

Outdated, as in, there's nothing new, you've seen it all before...

Just had a look at that novel on wikipedia

Rambo dies at the end of it.

It's a good book, Rambo felt a lot different to me in the book, as did several other characters. I don't have the book so I couldn't check but situations and events are also, I think, changed.

I found it funny when Morell wrote the sequel based off the movie and starts the foreward with something like 'in my first book Rambo died, however he lives on in the movies', I thought, oh, come on, that's the lamest excuse for an author to continue with a dead character. Money talks.

"Who cares?" I say. Rambo II is pure unadulterated epic greatness. Just watched it. You can kind of tell it was written by James Cameron and Stallone.

😆

Hard to get over how distorted Sly's face & neck was in this movie; the after effects of taking human growth hormone to get in shape for the film (illegal in North America, but not in Thailand it seems.)

I just wish it was a little longer.

I kind of thought the same thing. Did anyone know that there's an extended cut: Amazon.com? Anybody seen it? I think it's like 9 minutes longer. The deleted scenes on the theatrical cut blu-ray are mostly repeated or extended, but wouldn't have added much. There was one scene where Rambo takes care of a cut on her foot that I thought was pretty good and should have been in the film.

I started watching the 3rd film. Almost halfway through it. It's pretty good so far. Perhaps a little slow-moving, but I really like the old-school style filming at least (long shots without cuts, steady cam, no CGI). I'm enjoying it a lot more than I do many new movies. I'm finding these movies just about as entertaining as the Indiana Jones movies. And the fourth one didn't suck, so it's actually a step above so far...

(I don't care if that's blasphemy 😛 )

This is an interesting read, about the potential 5th film... ‘Rambo 5′ Still In the Works, Now Titled ‘Last Stand’

Oh, geez... 🙄

I thought Stallone was being truthful when he says Rambo was ready to be rebooted with a younger actor in the role. THE MAN IS 66 YEARS OLD. How much HGH will he take for the next one?

Yeah I really liked the idea of Rambo hunting down a monster hybrid, that was supposedly set in the snow.

The other rumour was Rambo rescuing kids from a Satanic cult.

But yeah the guy's 66...might be time for a prequel or introduce a protege to the franchise.

Hopefully enough to make him even more Rambawesome... haha.. 😆

No, no, no... I like monster Sci-fi action as much as the next guy (probably more), but that kind of stuff doesn't belong in the Rambo 'verse...

Hey, that's not so bad.. the missionaries from number IV could turn out to be cult leaders. 😛

No, no... I like the idea of one more to have him go down in a blaze of glory. "Live by the sword, Die by the sword." He should have a brutal and epic death sequence (hopefully that's why it's called "Last Stand." It's gonna be painful to watch these movies get rebooted and have them be filled with tons of stupid CGI.

This is really true that "Being good isn't always about being nice."

Stallone reveals a little about the new Rambo he's cooking up...

Clicky

Sounds like

Spoiler:
Rambo will be going out in a blaze of glory.

i like Rambo 1 and 2 very much.....Stallone still looks young at 64 years age.....

Good news perhaps...
