    The first Rambo movie had a couple of legitimate points to make about how Vietnam vets and police brutality. The later films were just body counts.

    Hey, as a kid, I loved it, as did many others. That's one reason it had a toy line, video games and a cartoon.

    Some additional criticisms about RAMBO 3 that I've read on IMDb: - Afghans are portrayed as bumbling peasants who need outside intervention to win. Rambo is their savior; w/o Rambo, they would be helpless & hopeless. He wins where they couldn't. - The Afghan conflict is shown in simple Cold-War era black/white simplicity. - Soviets are portrayed as cookie-cutter "evil empire" drones bent on torture & destruction.

    Saw Rambo films last night and I have to say all three are great. I have yet to see the fourth one.

    Good idea. Cutthroat Island, Ishtar, Heaven's Gate, John Carter, The Alamo, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, One from the Heart, Speed Racer, Battlefield Earth, Waterworld, Leonard Part 6, Howard the Duck, Shanghai Surprise, The Bonfire of the Vanities, Hudson Hawk, Showgirls, 1941 and hey, I love The Postman!

    It's funny that Eric talks about movies about the heroes teaming up w/ the people w/ limited resources against the tyrants because it reminds me of the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" going up against the Stormtroopers on Endor.

    I agree with Edwin. Rambo V was the best. When i saw the Trailer to that I jizzed my pants. After seeing it at the theater I was so loved that movie. It's one of the best "GUY" or "MAN" Movies ever. Just a true Hollywood Blood and Guts, Action Packed movie. It's just a badass movie. I love when Hollywood gives us these types of movies.

  • @19RaxR91
    @19RaxR91 12 лет назад

    ... and the final confrontation between a chopper and a tank, in my opinion, has to be acknowledged as one of the highlights in action film history. Also, the supporting characters werent too bad, and the story, though simple, was ok. Even the onliners were enjoyable. I watched all 4 Rambo films for the first time just a couple of days ago. I saw the first 3 in one sitting and Rambo 4 the next day. Even though First blood has a more thoughtful story, I enjoyed Part III the most.

    @colddrake2152 12 лет назад

    Eric, I can see what you're saying about the mixed message with violence in Rambo but I think Stallone knows there's a desire by some audiences for less of the gray villains and more of the 80s style masculine good guy vs bad guy type action films. Evil people like the villains in Rambo do exist in the world and most people find it satisfying to see them get absolutely destroyed on screen. I look forward to future episodes

    Interesting to consider how Stallone's career might have been different if Rambo had died at the end of the first film.

    Funny how the tagline ‘God would have mercy. John Rambo won't!’ was stuck to the latest Rambo. It made me think of spaghetti westerns like GOD FORGIVES I DON’T. Never saw it , though. The trailer looked too stupid and Stallone looked pathetic.

    I love First Blood part 2, and George P. Cosmatos does a great job. Its such a fun movie, but at the same time its so cold. Its just wrong on so many levels. Cosmatos son have by the way made this years best flick, Beyond the Black Rainbow.

    I remember at one point there was talk that Rambo was going to concern him hunting down and killing Osama Bin Laden. I'm SO glad they didn't go with that one.

  • @TMC1982Part2
    @TMC1982Part2 11 лет назад

    Apparently, Sylvester Stallone himself, actually directed RAMBO II. A similar thing was rumored to have happened to George P. Cosmatos (where his leading man "ghost directed" it) w/ Kurt Russell on TOMBSTONE. Hell, TANGO & CASH, w/ Stallone & Russell was apparently ghost directed too. There's a Den of Geek article that goes into more detail about ghost directed films.

  • @TMC1982Part2
    @TMC1982Part2 11 лет назад

    Another argument can be made for why Rambo 3 underperformed at the box office is because it didn't really deal w/ an American problem (it's the only Rambo film to not have a scene in the USA). Rambo 2 was the most successful commercially (just like Rocky 4) more than likely because of the then current, general political situation (i.e. the USA vs. the USSR).

    Let It Die: Rambo
    lebeauleblog.com/2019/07/05/let-it-die-rambo/
    The backbone of Sylvester Stallone’s movie career is undoubtedly the Rocky series. The first Rocky made Stallone a household name way back in 1976 and as recently as last year, the actor was still portraying his most famous alter ego in the sequel to a series spin-off, Creed II. How Stallone managed to milk eight movies out of the story of an underdog boxer is one of life’s great mysteries. But almost as puzzling is how thirty-seven years after First Blood, Stallone is still playing Rambo.

    Rambo 4 was the grittiest and was super violent but it was very well made and fun to watch. Easily the second best. The first guest of the show was too hard on it.

    I forgot that Jack Cardiff was the cinematographer on 'Rambo: FB - PII'. I agree the film looks great, but why would you think of Jack Cardiff for that film. It's like saying: "The only person to direct this film would have to be David Lean"!!!!

  • @txunderball
    @txunderball 12 лет назад

    How did Rambo 4 (basically an ok straight to video sequel) get the most discussion time!? :)
    The only message Rambo sequels ever had was "Live for nothing or die for something". Not much else there. As Ed said - the sequels are cartoons for grownups, and they work for the most part as such.
    There's a great indepth podcast episode (with interviews) about the first movie. Every fan should hear it.

    I actually prefers Rambo III to the last one, John Rambo. The last one was so heavy and dreary from the characters to the cinematography. While Rambo 3 was pure escapism action picture. It did not try to be anything else.

    I don't agree about Unforgiven. It's just as guilty of cashing in on what it ostensibly condemns. I didn't see anyone in the theatre 'not wanting to see the action' at the end of that. They cheered when he killed Little Bill.

    Fuck me, was this episode filmed on a cameraphone and then transferred to VHS or something? If it's supposed to be an 80's tribute style, then I can see what you were trying to do, but it simply looks dreadful, almost to the point of unwatchable.
    On the plus side, great choice of subject, and I really enjoy the 'retrospective' episodes, I think you guys are at your best giving your unique take on classic film series, everyone has an opinion on these and can take sides, even watching from home.

    Nah. This show isn't about current releases. It's about talking over the stuff we either all know and love or recommending little-known gems of the past. I'd be a lot less interested if they were talking about stuff I haven't seen yet.

    It woul'd be a GOOD film, If; they took out the unecessary intro of a 1oo people slaughterd, make it a bit more funny, bitt more collore, making a film bleak doesn't make it sirius, and maybe M. Gibson for the last guy, a surprise for the end, as a secret sponsor of the war in the area, maybe he gets badly wounded and walks off into the dark or the "monster" floded river, bleeding ending on him dying or NOT.

    @19RaxR91 12 лет назад

    Although First Blood had an interesting idea, I dont think it was made really well. Plot wise it seems a bit incoherent, the same with characters. Why did Art Galt become a dick towards Rambo once he found out he is a soldier was never even hinted. Also, I think you guys are confusing Rambo 2 with Rambo 3, because the fight scenes in 2 are poorly done (especially in the last chopper scene, where some of the shots are used more than once), but in 3 they all are quite excellent, ...

    First Blood is interesting because it's thematically the opposite of the other Rambo movies: the steady escalation of violence is obviously pointless (and ultimately pathetic). There's not much political subtext, and the movie gets its antisocial thrills from watching an unstoppable killing machine take on a small-town police force. Then Stallone took over the series and made it about a right-wing superhero murdering Communists. Oh, the 80s...

  • @bach5150
    @bach5150 3 года назад

    after three films with comedic references in them...why go to the same well yet again.... of course this 4th film was more serious and gruesome... that's the film we all wanted in the first place ... and it was delivered... now you look at that as some kind of a slight AGAINST it? sorry... i completely disagree with that analysis.... vehemently...

  • @bach5150
