God bless you both! 😆

I got tix for this Tuesday night. Psyched.

Been anticipating it for years and years. Shit, the last one was 2008.

^^^Damn, has it been that long?!?

I may give it a week or two before I go see it, but it’s on my list for sure.

Haha.. some reviews are rolling in on RT. It's hard to tell the positive reviews from the negative ones... they all sound good to me... 😂

"Trump-era Rambo is essentially a human border wall keeping America safe from Mexican rapists and murderers. Absolutely deranged, a must-see."

"A film that aspires to be Logan, yet lands somewhere closer to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

"Rambo: Last Blood is an incredibly boneheaded amalgamate of the third and fourth installment. It combines the comic-book fantasy of the former with the serio-comical splatter of the latter."

I'm surprised, too.

Certainly doesn't feel like it. I mean, wtf? More than a decade has passed? Really?

But... time flies like that 🙁

^^^Yeah ten years went quick!

Sadly, the world is too pussyfied now a days for these type of movies to succeed or even be made anymore.

and some later, copland, cliffhanger.

Can't recall Cliffhanger too well. I think I only saw parts. Will have to add it to my Plex and have a watch.

^^^John Lithgow was fun to watch in CLIFFHANGER.

Copland was surprisingly good. It would be good for me to revisit it.

Cliffhanger is classic cheese. Hard to beat John Lithgow as the villain. 👆

True. Stallone was pretty by the numbers in the movie, nothing inspired or bad in any way, but Lithgow was the draw for me.

so.. does rambo die

He did in an alternate ending for first blood

Read a small article this morning on how Stallone hated First Blood.
He wanted every copy of the film destroyed before it hit the cinemas.

He was worried about his character attacking his own country.
Fortunately with additional editing his character came across as the victim & not the villain.

Hm.. I didn't know that. Yeah, I think the cops were portrayed as big enough d!cks to make Rambo the victim. 👆

Some more amusing RT quotes...

""Rambo: Last Blood" features what's easily the most violent movie scene of the year. It's awesome."

IMO, that scrapped ending where Rambo kills himself would have been way better than the one they went with. It would have meshed with the narrative better.

Well sure. But then we wouldn't have a bloody and awesome franchise into the year 2019! 💃

Interesting, as the entire premise of the film is about a guy who fought and killed for his country, then gets abused by a bunch of bigoted dicks. A shout-out to the abuse many Vietnam vets received when they returned home. This starts with the opening scene.

Do wonder how much they edited then if they original film portrayed Rambo as the villain.
