Just goes to show, one man can wage a war against an army of gov't dipshits without much trouble lol
He did try. I mean, outside of "NOTHINGISOVER" that scene played REALLLY well with the first-shot ending - Rambo shoots himself in the head. All the movie he's this dark dangerous no-talking dude. In the crying speech, he shows he's a guy who left a lot in Nam and was "normal" once. Shooting himself was the perfect ending to that. Instead, they went for a more hopeful ending. Which led to a franchise. Of 2 movies and 3 (3?) piles of utter crap. (Outside of him vaporizing that guy at 3" with the 50cal. LOL)
I think the ending of Rambo II was just over-written. It was that time. This "we're here and we deserve justice" sort of ending. Like Iron Eagle and other "war" movies from that time. Every Chuck Norris movie since Lone Wolf Look At My MF Bronco McQuade.
I still like Stallone in general.
Figures. Guy literally makes his living off of guns, and in real life turns out to be an antiRambo Hates Guns: How Sylvester Stallone Became the Most Anti-Gun Celeb in Hollywood
This weekend, you can see Sly lay waste to hundreds of fools in The Expendables 3. But the man formerly known as John Rambo is, surprisingly, one of the NRA’s most reviled stars.www.thedailybeast.com
Was your first response at seeing that face a startled, "Scheiße!"?Umm, yes, in the mirror this morning
Part of the problem is that the book First Blood goes off the deep end in the last quarter, where the sheriff starts to telepathically be able to predict Rambo's moves and is able to kill him.
So, just like a Stephen Hunter novel, eh?
I grew up in the county that was the setting for the Bob Lee Swagger series.I don't think I've read any of his books but I grew up reading his movie reviews in the Baltimore Sun.
That's why I don't think they're well written.Hunter's books, while really well written, always end up with cartoonesque heroic actions by the main character.
