I started crying at the end when they started showing the credits of him throughout all the movies. Rambo series will always be one of my absolute favourites
Who doesn’t? That montage is amazing. I thought that Rambo is sitting their dying and makes it more powerful. You see that he has fought hard his whole life and now he’s going to finally be at peace. Or course, then he saddles ups and rides off into the hills.
Those magnesium shells Rambo used essentially peppered those bad guys with flaming powder that was burning at around 4000°F. That's almost twice the heat needed to liquify steel, and it can't be extinguished with water.
Critics panned this one because they thought Rambo was too sadistic to the bad guys. Far as I'm concerned if the bad guys are going to be like that this movie handled it perfectly. On that note I recommend the incredibly underrated Shooter (2007)
Rambo wasn't sadistic; he displayed what any one of us would have done to people who get away with rape and drugs for a living and feel no remorse, Rambo displayed true justice the execution method
Thought Rambo was to sadistic in killing the drug people? Give me break lol!! If they treated those innocent girls like that ,they deserve even worse than what Rambo done in this movie
Rambo 3 is underrated imo, it's so overlooked and it is the only of the series to feature both Rambo and Trautman fighting side by side with one another. I say Last Blood was average-to-decent, I wish there was more, but still an okay watch.
And another thing. Out of all the Rambo films, this movie is where Rambo is the most vulnerable he's ever been. At least until Gabriela died, he was no longer held back and out for blood.
I agree! People like to knock this one a lot but Stallone played the character perfectly and gave him so much emotion and subtle elements to his performance that's unmistakably John Rambo.
Is that the extended version of Rambo Last Blood they are watching? I like I never seen the flashback scene to Vietnam when Rambo walking down the tunnel.
To me it wasn’t heart wrenching because it all felt so forced. Eventually, sequels become forced and unnecessary, and this was one of those times. It has cool moments, but it was all totally unnecessary and contrived. It didn’t need to be made. Just my two cents!
They messed up a potentially great ending, it feels like it had 2 directors on this a great one and one that doesn't know wtf he's doing, the intro is rushed, horrifically bad CGI, him having a family is rushed, as is the howl nephew turned into junky-Rambo healing story thread. The bad guys are there just to get killed off, the ending is the studio trying to eat their cake and have it too, they had NO idea how to end it. Sly is THE best thing about this film, tremendous as always.
I agree. I remember seeing this in theaters and being pleasantly surprised to be actually emotionally moved by a Rambo movie. Didn't think i'd get that after the first blood,
Liked how Rambo viscerally and viscously dealt with those cartel human traffickers, one by one. They got a taste of their own bloody medicine. It was a great send off for Rambo at the end including the montage to the classic films.
The way I see it Rambo dies at the end on the porch in the chair? Him riding on the horse after that was more symbolic, like riding off into the sunset or heaven? Well that's they way I interpreted it, because they don't outright show him die, but I thought they implied he died. It makes more sense than he rides off for medical help.
The thing about this movie is that it actually IS a happy ending vs what normally happens in real life. In real life, people's daughters are kidnapped and enslaved by cartels all the time, and the family never sees them again and can do absolutely nothing about it. It leaves people feeling hopeless and helpless for the rest of their lives. In this movie, Rambo at the very least gets to see the girl one more time before she died and he got to take his revenge. It is as positive an outcome as anybody could ever hope for under these circumstances.
Oh, that Home Improvement line gave me a chuckle. I can just imagine Heidi saying "Does everybody know what time it is?" The audience yells "Bow Time!" And then Rambo comes out and says "I'm John 'the Bowman' Rambo."
@@TBRSchmitt be ready for a RIDE with *The Expendables* you basically have every action hero you can think about Arnold Schwarzenegger Bruce Willis Sylvester Stallone Jet li Dolph Lundgren Jason Statham Harrison Ford Jean-Claude Van Damme Chuck Norris Wesley snipe Terry crews Mickey Rourke Antonio Banderas Stone Cold Steve Austin Eric Roberts Just jam-packed full of action heroes
You guys got to watch Night Hawks (1981). Not only for Stallone but for Billy Dee Williams and special bonus, Rutger Hauer as the bad guy terrorist. One of the best endings to a movie also. A must watch.
This appears to be a modified version of Rambo. The one I have seen starts off with Rambo searching for some tourists who are trapped in a wild storm and end up facing a dam that has breached if I am not mistaken. Assuming this started out at the farm straight away, it cuts out about 5 minutes of the start.
I advocate for Nighthawks as well. I miss how New York looked in the late 70s and 80s. The gritty NYC was more real to me than the City I serve and live in now.
I think what frustrates me about commenters when it comes to sequels that have mixed opinions is that ultimately if a sequel is bad or good, it doesn't matter. For most people it won't change your opinion on the other movies in the series. The Terminator franchise is a good example of this. I love 1 and 2, but many fans love to try and gate-keep reactors into not watching past Judgement Day because they believe that's where the series should have ended. That's fair enough, but if you want to watch a sequel, just go ahead and watch it. Please don't let commenters dictate where you should stop reacting to a storyline if you're still having fun with it. Obviously that's not what's happened with you guys as reactors as yet, but I'd hate to see it happen. Thanks for your reactions guys. Love the content. TL;DR: Enjoying a less well-reviewed sequel doesn't make you lose appreciation for the ones that came before it. Watch what you want.
I thought so too. That's the first thing I thought of when I was watching him prepare his property. "He's going to Kevin McCallister them!" Only these traps are much more deadly. They are designed to maim and kill.
The thing you have to understand about Rambo is that his story is basically a greek tragedy. Always has been, and always will be. For some characters and stories, a happy ending just isn't in the cards. I honestly think a traditional happy Hollywood ending would feel insanely out of character for Rambo. Especially if we're looking at First Blood as the template that sets the tone for his story. Stallone has often compared Rambo to the Frankenstein monster, in the sense that he's this creature that was created by man (ie, the military), who wants desperately to be human, but can't be, because they didn't create him that way. And that comparison is often alluded to throughout the series, and in this movie as well. And when the Frankenstein monster tries to live amongst humans, he is harshly reminded that he will never be able to have that kind of life, and just has to accept that he is a monster. Likewise, this movie shows Rambo (the tragic monster of this story) fooling himself into thinking he can live a normal life, and being reminded in the harshest possible way that what he is at his core, is the monster they made him. Which explains why the third act of this movie kinda feels like a horror movie. It's a fitting ending for this kind of story.
Very nice reaction to the last and, as you said, very different "Rambo" movie. Unfortunately, the WHOLE INTRO-SCENE (around 10 minutes) is CUT from the US-VERSION of this movie! The prologue starts during a heavy rainstorm in the mountains. Rambo is helping the police searching for a trio of lost hikers. He finds the first, a woman, dead from drowning. Later, he finds the other two, a man and his daughter (?). While he's able to save the woman, the man runs off to his death (a flood), refusing to accept the death of his wife - the woman Rambo had discovered earlier. Rambo returns to the base-camp with the girl he rescued, It's a very intense and spectacular scene , that totaly changes the mood at the beginning of the movie. I have no idea, why this is included only in the international version (which we have here in Germany). Maybe there is an extended cut available in the US. It's worth checking out.
I really love this film. Having him deal with trauma issues while trying to recover was a great touch. Sadly Rambo was never going to get a happy ending. He is the living embodiment of the saying "live by the sword,die by the sword". His bloody past was never going to leave him . It's very much a western with him dying at the end while riding off into the sunset after avenging his lived ones. A fitting end for a man who fought all his life.
@@johnhuddleston8647 That is exactly it. Rambo was a good guy deep down but he did a lot of things that he had to end up paying for. He got to go out like a hero and that was the best end he could have had.
Rambo is a tragic hero, a happy ending is not in his cards. Also the tunnels have to do with his time in Vietnam. That was how the North Vietnamese fought. It strange but some times things that gave you dramatic experiences also feel familiar and give comfort.
I agree that this could have been a solo movie instead of being part of the franchise. I love the revenge aspect, the action, gore, kills and emotions are great. Stallone's acting is really good. Thx for the reaction guys, it made my night alot better.
A potential problem if it were a non-Rambo solo movie would be explaining why the protagonist was so good at weapons, combat and explosives. It being Rambo means we already know that as a given. Plus there's the basic audience pull of it being a "Rambo movie" vs. some unknown actor or entirely new character. Funny how films vary, eg. Neeson in Taken movies takes out a lot of baddies, but almost always just with guns, his character doesn't do the splat stuff with traps, knives or bare hands.
I thought the whole tunnel idea was stupid. In the novel “First Blood”, Rambo always lived out in the open due to having flashbacks of being in a pit having filth poured on him while he was a POW. This movie could have been a lot better.
The end is left up to the viewer.... We saw the horses go away, but then at the end he's on one riding off into the sunset... haha He died on that porch, and that was a white horse.
I haven't seen your full reaction yet. I find Rambo a tragic character with this addition. Rambo is always looking for peace in his life. Unfortunately Rambo was conditioned to be a proficient killer. So the people that wants to protect unfortunately are always ruined by circumstances beyond their control. Rambo then has to resort to violence to go back to peace. It's very much like any country at peace. If there's peace within a country I question at what cost does that peace came from. Peace is paid with blood and tears of those: before, with, and after us.
I agree. People seem to forget that a lot of time has past between Rambo 4 and this one. He went home. His father had people working at the ranch. His father passed and now it is his. This lady worked for his father and Rambo has pretty much lived with them now for the last 10 years. He has been out of the war life for a while now and is a little slower and older than he used to be. We all will get there. Life for John Rambo has slowed down for the last 10 years. My question is, how does he deal with, dispose of, or explain all of the dead bodies on his ranch? He is not in a war zone anymore.
I've always had respect for Sly, but my respect grew exponentially when he decided to reboot this franchise and instead of doing a crappy version of it, he went all out and ramped up the gore and violence. He presented very realistic scenarios as far as how violent armed conflicts are, none of the violence was implied and he just didn't give a f*ck! 😂
Funny fact: I worked with the girl who played Gabriela from 2011-2014 at a movie theater. At the time, she was just starting acting classes. She was a nice & funny person
Yeah the film was absolutely Rambo throwing out anything and everything that he has ever learned ever done ever been. He spent his whole life after Vietnam trying to escape who he was and to come full circle and really except and unleash everything he is on these people who took away his niece who became his whole world for about a decade of peace and happiness. It's sad and also enlightening that you can't run from your demons. You have to face them. I always wished when I saw this film that if maybe her grandmother and her uncle Rambo would have told her the truth about her father what a despicable human being he was and be very graphic and detailed she wouldn't have gone to see him and this wouldn't have happened. I always believe in telling kids the absolute truth even if it's ugly. I'm glad you were able to finish off your Rambo series it's been phenomenal. Continue on with Sylvester Stallone films please
What I particularly enjoyed about this final story of Rambo is how they showed how vulnerable he could get trying to save a person's life he tried to do the peaceful thing when he went down there to get her back and he didn't even want to cause any trouble and even when trouble came to him he did not resort to the Rambo we all know until it was necessary it became necessary when she died the girl... But I love the fact that we get a glimpse of what John Rambo could be if he did not have all that combat experience we get to see more vulnerable side to John Rambo..... And to ask the question you had earlier it's always good to close out a story, even if some of the audience may have mixed emotions or feelings about it and even if the movie is not that great I would still watch it, but if it's horrible don't watch it... But as long as it closes out a characters story arc, go ahead and watch it and just hope that the story doesn't destroy the character. We've had a lot of current movies do that recently where they would just completely destroy the character and replace it with a female or some inferior man....
Me and my wife saw this in the theaters and everybody was squirming in their seats on the collarbone scene. I yelled out “yes”!, because that’s when it felt like a Rambo movie to me. On a sadder note, Rambo was able to save lots of people in all the other movies, the POWs, Colonel Troutman, the missionaries, but he could not save his own niece/daughter. I think the final kill was a perfect ending for Rambo. This movie gets a lot of hate, but I still really liked it. I’ve even made some edits and rescores using this movie. I understand some people may not think it feels too much like a Rambo movie because he has short hair. He’s not in the jungle or at war with an army, but it was 11 years since the last movie came out, so I would hope the character would change a little bit for the better. And he did, so it makes sense to me. Plus he is a lot older in this one so the days of being a one-man army like the first three Ramboz would just be unrealistic and hokey. So I think Stallone did a good job with what he had to work with. I’ve been watching your guy’s reactions to the Rambo movies and I was most excited for part four and part five. Did not disappoint. Thanks guys.
36:21 it's very common for veterans particularly ones with heavy PTSD to want to be underground I believe it has to with being repeatedly being mortared and bombed and only getting any rest in a fortified bunker that are generally under ground or are concrete caves
Greetings from Costa Rica. I really liked the movie, and although it wasn't as violent as 4, let's say it wasn't, it had a very cruel ending that unfortunately happens in real life.
I love the fact rambo a Vietnam vet set up his own Viet Cong tunnels filled with Viet Cong traps. Boobytraps like Toe poppers a punji pit and mechanical spear traps. LOL 😆😂 God i love Rambo!
I think where we see the flashbacks from the previous films at the end maybe where supposed to mean Rambo died while he was sitting on the porch. Kind of like he was seeing his life before his own eyes.
Fun trivia about Last Blood: when Stallone was developing the story for the fifth Rambo movie, it was gonna be a sci-fi horror movie based on the novel Hunter "which finds a legendary tracker being tasked by the government to track down a feral, man-made monster. Hunter leads a team of mercenaries after the creature, which seemingly cannot be killed. Since Hunter and Rambo are essentially the same character, Stallone felt the book would make a strong basis for a sequel." 😄
This Rambo actually ties in perfectly with the franchise. Thematically, Rambo was always trying to go home, like Gabrielle. He ended up with the events of First Blood, she ended up with the events of Last Blood. I'm sure it could've been great as a standalone action film, but it's my second-favorite in the series. I also recommend watching the opening of the director's cut, because the U.S. version cut out a long scene at the beginning that kind of showed us how he'd reintegrated into the world again.
It's a complete tonal mess. The 1st is one of THE greatest movies of it's type, the 4th one is one of THE closest to the real deal war films, absolutely brutal, tragic and a GREAT action film with clear and simple story, perfectly paced. With this, Last blood they messed up a potentially great ending, it feels like it had 2 directors on this a great one and one that doesn't know wtf he's doing, the intro is rushed, horrifically bad CGI, him having a family is rushed, as is the howl nephew turned into junky-Rambo healing story thread. The bad guys are there just to get killed off, the ending is the studio trying to eat their cake and have it too, they had NO idea how to end it. Sly is THE best thing about this film, tremendous as always.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 Not by any standards, not as film quality goes, nor as a Rambo fan, cause there's 2 versions of Rambo, the 1st and 4th movie is one Rambo(interesting as a character, deep, brooding, human), 2nd and 3rd another(killing machine, action hero with trying to stuff some humanity at the end).
I've never seen this one, but watching this reaction I can tell what everyone was talking about, and I see you echo some of the same sentiments. It really doesn't feel like a Rambo movie and probably was an unnecessary addition to a completed story.
I like this movie. It's to the point and kicks total ass. Great reaction. I highly recommend Cobra from 1986, Lock Up from 1989, Demolition Man from 1993, The Specialist from 1994, Assassins from 1995, Daylight from 1996, and Bullet To The Head from 2013. And of The Expendables. Stallone's action films must watch for action movie fans.
There is an extended version of the beginning that was released on Amazon Prime where Rambo on horseback is helping local police in search for 3 hikers who got caught in a flashflood. He was only able to rescue one of the hikers. There is also a scene where his "niece" is comforting him for his perceived failure regarding the two dead hikers.
"Every legend has one more fight left in them". Proven for Rocky Balboa. Just as much for John Rambo. Part 5 was announced back in 2015 while Sly was working on Creed 1. Heavy duty training after he finished Creed 2. The synopsis sounded interesting in the vain of TAKEN or Sicario. Speaking to another great travesty of young girls snatched up and forced into prostitution by cartels. Losing his neice, regaining his killer instinct and doing damage to these cartel punks was definitely the film I was expecting. What did get me was the tunnels. Built to deal with his darkness. So he can keep his peace on the surface (literally and figurative). I feel this was a worthy ending to the film series. Sly has talked about a prequel series about Rambo's early military service.
I'm with you TBR. Rambo 4 is the most appropriate ending to the Rambo saga. This movie's storyline was simply attached to the series to get 'fans' bums on seats. This was basically 'Taken' meets 'Rambo'.
40 years of Rambo and Rocky, where he wrote and directed most all of them! Amazing! Every big star of the day, passed on Rambo! And Hollywood. They thought he had no talent!
Since Rambo 4 i kinda missed the character of Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna) . It's weird how nobody ever mentions this. Yeah the last Rambo is somewhat derailed from the story. This one reminds me of the A team except there's no team...lol. When you see how he looks back on his life at the end, that's a powerful piece when you witnessed all parts coming out. So as a viewer you feel as if you also have come a long way in life by the time this saga ends.
Don't worry. RAMBO will be back. I believe the next and really last film will have Rambo taking refuge on the Navajo Indian Reservation. There to heal his wounds and enter some spiritual transcendence that leads to a fully realized redemption of his life.
@@k.delpino1124 Prequel is always a silly idea, just another way to start the franchise again with a younger actor. I think there should be one Final Blood, putting Rambo to rest and maybe in the grave...
There are still some good Stallone movies to add to the list: Daylight, Lock Up, Assassins, Cobra, Over The Top, The Specialist, The Expendables Saga, Over The Top, etc
My rank of this series is 1,4,5,2,3... but I don't dislike any of them. 3 is a little to 'superhero-ish' but still thrilling. BTW, unrelated, but Stallone's new series "Tulsa King" is great (so far anyway)
I posted on another video that Rambo Last Blood is Rambo at his most vulnerable and most viscious. I’m glad y’all finished the Rambo movies now it’s time to watch The Expendables trilogy.
I haven’t seen this myself but I kind of feel that watching it cut up but with you guys and your funny commentary, I’m positive that I will completely follow the plot 😅 that’s the beauty with Rambo
There's a few movies that are out that I'm content with this logic on. I enjoy the reactor so much I don't really care for all the fluff I'm missing. It's good enough I'll watch it
The directors cut is alot better but Rambo cutting that brothers heart out and seeing Rambos skill for traps was FANTASTIC 😆 great show guys keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀
I think Stallone wanted to put a true ending to the Rambo series. Everyone wondered in the first movie what would have happened if he was a killer. This movie showed us
For me this was a great Rambo film,was really satisfying watching the bad guys get ripped apart. Sex trafficking is a terrible,very current problem,just like the civil war was a thing when the last Rambo came out & if you remember they were sickening baddies too. Think the death of his niece was to hit home to the audience how the real families of these young girls felt,probably never to see them again. It’s harsh but at least Rambo got to bury her,a lot of the families didn’t even get that,they were just left wondering what had happened to their loved ones,never seeing them again with absolutely no closure.
There's a great comedy called Son of Rambow about two kids remaking the original Rambo movie. it's worth checking out even if it wouldn't be a hit for the channel
The planned cut of this film was 101 minutes. Opening with a flood rescue scene where Rambo as a volunteer on horseback saves someone, and laments that he can't save everyone. That includes a guy who drowned because he went back from safety to look for his wife, even though Rambo told him his wife was already dead. Then you go to a shot of Rambo taking drugs for his PTSD. Then to the opening scenes you see here, but longer cuts of them with more character development. That WAS the theatrical release everywhere in the world except the U.S., U.K. and Canada. For some reason, they decided at the last minute to cut down the domestic English release to 89 minutes. The other version (which is superior because it gives a fuller view of what Rambo currently is) is the Extended Cut on Amazon Prime U.S.
Magnesium packed behind the 12 gauge slug is called a Dragons breath round. It fires the slug and a flame that's close to 3000 degrees . ( the flare point of the Magnesium )
I don't know why this movie wasn't well received. I loved it. It took a tragic character and tried to give it a realistic end. At first I was honestly hoping Rambo would finally die, but I liked the ending. It's so weird that the word "Rambo" essentially means, "violence" when he himself is constantly trying to avoid being violent.
Ok can i just say the death scenes in this one are way more grusome than the last Rambo, in most movies you hear someone say "im gonna rip your goddam heart out" Rambo literally ripped the guys heart out considering that he ripped out a guys throat in the previous movie
If you are going to stay on the Stallone train, I would recommend the movie "Shade" from 2003. Stallone plays a card sharp. Great ending in that movie.
Could you not find the extended edition? My copy has nearly 7 minutes of prologue on the side of a mountain that is not just good on its own right, but also a great callback to the very first movie . . .
There's nothing wrong with this Rambo, thematically it fits. Problem is when it was made, last Rambo was 2008 and this was 2019. Society had a major shift in seeing things. Basically since Rambo is a white character, him killing people of different persuasion is problematic to the new type of critics. Otherwise this is a Rambo version of Taken, except Liam was killing "european traffickers" which is OK. The author panned it also, but he panned others also. As a non-white, knowing the real deal, I liked it.
From what I know of Rambo, he is a mix of Navajo, german and italian. But I guess one can call him white. I don’t listen to these new types of critics. I see a man, tired of injustice, kill evil people.
Hey guys a podcast you might like is called Dis-oder wear three Disney guys watch every Walt Disney Animation Studios movie in order plus more theirs lots of great Disney trivia you can find it in most podcast channels
I found this movie to be too dark, especially with what they did with Yvette's character. Just too sad an ending for such a hopeful character. All that being said, I didn't hate it.
That’s the most realistic part, no American Girl Hispanic or not would last a night in some random part of Mexico with 1 friend (that was already in on their kidnapping)
@@sosaboi1352 Agreed. She was too stupid to live. Her character annoyed me with her decisions, but she was a perfect example of today's "strong empowered woman who don't need no man."
One interpretation of the ending is that he's dying from the gunshot wounds, remembering stuff he's been through, then imagining himself "riding off into the sunset" as he dies.
Hahahaha your outro about bloodthirst had me rolling. I never noticed my similar feeling watching movies and shows. What a great take. Keep up the great work.
I started crying at the end when they started showing the credits of him throughout all the movies. Rambo series will always be one of my absolute favourites
I got a tear in the eye too
Yeah cried at the credits too, had tears in the theater
Who doesn’t? That montage is amazing. I thought that Rambo is sitting their dying and makes it more powerful. You see that he has fought hard his whole life and now he’s going to finally be at peace. Or course, then he saddles
ups and rides off into the hills.
me too. :-(
Rambo's neighbour: You workin' again John?
Rambo: No, I was just sortin' some stuff out.
Goodnight Jimmy 😅
Every death scene from the cartel was getting cheers and claps in the movie theater.
I met Yvette Monreal who plays Gabriela in this movie in September. She is such a sweetheart of a person
He was about 72 here, and still built like a tank!
Those magnesium shells Rambo used essentially peppered those bad guys with flaming powder that was burning at around 4000°F. That's almost twice the heat needed to liquify steel, and it can't be extinguished with water.
"Nothing is over! Nothing!"
It never ends for poor Rambo.
Love how Rambo used Vietnam War type traps at the end
Critics panned this one because they thought Rambo was too sadistic to the bad guys. Far as I'm concerned if the bad guys are going to be like that this movie handled it perfectly. On that note I recommend the incredibly underrated Shooter (2007)
Rambo wasn't sadistic; he displayed what any one of us would have done to people who get away with rape and drugs for a living and feel no remorse, Rambo displayed true justice the execution method
that's insane!. how can some people think "oh no, poor bad guys"?, they deserved what happened to them.
Thought Rambo was to sadistic in killing the drug people? Give me break lol!! If they treated those innocent girls like that ,they deserve even worse than what Rambo done in this movie
He could have "ghost-ridered" them haha
There are no more Movie Critics

"I would have gone with the dick, but I guess the head is alright"...I fucking love this channel 😂
This movie is underrated.
No, Night Hawks is underrated.
it is not good rambo movie
Rambo 3 is underrated imo, it's so overlooked and it is the only of the series to feature both Rambo and Trautman fighting side by side with one another. I say Last Blood was average-to-decent, I wish there was more, but still an okay watch.
I remember seeing this in theaters. The kills in this film are brutal
And another thing. Out of all the Rambo films, this movie is where Rambo is the most vulnerable he's ever been. At least until Gabriela died, he was no longer held back and out for blood.
@@danskyl7279 this movie is shit
Not as brutal as 4, but close
Alot of the traps seemed inspired from the vietnam war that the NVA and Viet Cong used.
not as brutal as the one's in the 4th one 🤣🤣
"Live to Fight another day, Soldier!" (right-hand salute)
This Rambo was the most heart wrenching one of them all aside from the ending scene of the first one.
I agree! People like to knock this one a lot but Stallone played the character perfectly and gave him so much emotion and subtle elements to his performance that's unmistakably John Rambo.
Is that the extended version of Rambo Last Blood they are watching? I like I never seen the flashback scene to Vietnam when Rambo walking down the tunnel.
To me it wasn’t heart wrenching because it all felt so forced. Eventually, sequels become forced and unnecessary, and this was one of those times. It has cool moments, but it was all totally unnecessary and contrived. It didn’t need to be made. Just my two cents!
They messed up a potentially great ending, it feels like it had 2 directors on this a great one and one that doesn't know wtf he's doing, the intro is rushed, horrifically bad CGI, him having a family is rushed, as is the howl nephew turned into junky-Rambo healing story thread. The bad guys are there just to get killed off, the ending is the studio trying to eat their cake and have it too, they had NO idea how to end it. Sly is THE best thing about this film, tremendous as always.
I agree. I remember seeing this in theaters and being pleasantly surprised to be actually emotionally moved by a Rambo movie. Didn't think i'd get that after the first blood,
My mom is a huge Rambo fan, no joke

Same
Haven't thought of it this way before, makes it actually much more powerful and sad too.
That's how I always interpreted it also
I mean, he literally states otherwise in his documentary
The thing about this movie is that it actually IS a happy ending vs what normally happens in real life.
In real life, people's daughters are kidnapped and enslaved by cartels all the time, and the family never sees them again and can do absolutely nothing about it. It leaves people feeling hopeless and helpless for the rest of their lives.
In this movie, Rambo at the very least gets to see the girl one more time before she died and he got to take his revenge. It is as positive an outcome as anybody could ever hope for under these circumstances.
Oh, that Home Improvement line gave me a chuckle. I can just imagine Heidi saying "Does everybody know what time it is?" The audience yells "Bow Time!" And then Rambo comes out and says "I'm John 'the Bowman' Rambo."
You know what this bomb needs? More power! Argh argh argh argh!

You guys got to watch Night Hawks (1981). Not only for Stallone but for Billy Dee Williams and special bonus, Rutger Hauer as the bad guy terrorist. One of the best endings to a movie also. A must watch.
Agree 💯%
I also agree! One of Stallone’s most underrated films.
How come nobodys recomending "stop or my mom will shoot" :D
Nighthawks is a really good Stallone movie that doesn't really talked about much
I'd go with that ! Good movie, have it in my dvd collection.
This appears to be a modified version of Rambo. The one I have seen starts off with Rambo searching for some tourists who are trapped in a wild storm and end up facing a dam that has breached if I am not mistaken. Assuming this started out at the farm straight away, it cuts out about 5 minutes of the start.
The directors cut has about 10+ minutes of extra footage iirc, including the search/rescue scene from the beginning of the movie.
I think I clicked the same moment this was uploaded 😄
Alright let's go. Last Rambo movie...for now at least.
"What is it, Home Improvement?"
Welcome to Tool Time, with John Rambo 🤣🤣🤣
The Stallone movie that I’m still hoping you two will watch is Nighthawks from 1981. It costars Billy Dee Williams and the late great Rutger Hauer
Classic 💯
I second this nighthawk the most underrated sly and hauer movie
I advocate for Nighthawks as well. I miss how New York looked in the late 70s and 80s. The gritty NYC was more real to me than the City I serve and live in now.
Speaking of Hauer, you NEED to watch The Hitcher (1986)
I think what frustrates me about commenters when it comes to sequels that have mixed opinions is that ultimately if a sequel is bad or good, it doesn't matter. For most people it won't change your opinion on the other movies in the series. The Terminator franchise is a good example of this. I love 1 and 2, but many fans love to try and gate-keep reactors into not watching past Judgement Day because they believe that's where the series should have ended. That's fair enough, but if you want to watch a sequel, just go ahead and watch it. Please don't let commenters dictate where you should stop reacting to a storyline if you're still having fun with it.
Obviously that's not what's happened with you guys as reactors as yet, but I'd hate to see it happen.
Thanks for your reactions guys. Love the content.
TL;DR: Enjoying a less well-reviewed sequel doesn't make you lose appreciation for the ones that came before it. Watch what you want.
I agree, and regarding the Terminators...I personally enjoyed the 3rd & 6th (not so much the 4th or 5th).
The only time I cheered was when “Five to One” starts playing, but that’s because I’m a big fan of The Doors.
It's like watching an adult version of "home alone movie"...and its great
Watch your next
I thought so too. That's the first thing I thought of when I was watching him prepare his property. "He's going to Kevin McCallister them!" Only these traps are much more deadly. They are designed to maim and kill.
The thing you have to understand about Rambo is that his story is basically a greek tragedy. Always has been, and always will be. For some characters and stories, a happy ending just isn't in the cards. I honestly think a traditional happy Hollywood ending would feel insanely out of character for Rambo. Especially if we're looking at First Blood as the template that sets the tone for his story.
Stallone has often compared Rambo to the Frankenstein monster, in the sense that he's this creature that was created by man (ie, the military), who wants desperately to be human, but can't be, because they didn't create him that way. And that comparison is often alluded to throughout the series, and in this movie as well. And when the Frankenstein monster tries to live amongst humans, he is harshly reminded that he will never be able to have that kind of life, and just has to accept that he is a monster.
Likewise, this movie shows Rambo (the tragic monster of this story) fooling himself into thinking he can live a normal life, and being reminded in the harshest possible way that what he is at his core, is the monster they made him. Which explains why the third act of this movie kinda feels like a horror movie. It's a fitting ending for this kind of story.
Totally agree. Been watching since 1982... and this is exactly were it needed to go!
Exactly
Very nice reaction to the last and, as you said, very different "Rambo" movie.
Unfortunately, the WHOLE INTRO-SCENE (around 10 minutes) is CUT from the US-VERSION of this movie!
The prologue starts during a heavy rainstorm in the mountains. Rambo is helping the police searching for a trio of lost hikers. He finds the first, a woman, dead from drowning. Later, he finds the other two, a man and his daughter (?). While he's able to save the woman, the man runs off to his death (a flood), refusing to accept the death of his wife - the woman Rambo had discovered earlier. Rambo returns to the base-camp with the girl he rescued,
It's a very intense and spectacular scene , that totaly changes the mood at the beginning of the movie.
I have no idea, why this is included only in the international version (which we have here in Germany).
Maybe there is an extended cut available in the US. It's worth checking out.
I really love this film. Having him deal with trauma issues while trying to recover was a great touch. Sadly Rambo was never going to get a happy ending. He is the living embodiment of the saying "live by the sword,die by the sword". His bloody past was never going to leave him . It's very much a western with him dying at the end while riding off into the sunset after avenging his lived ones. A fitting end for a man who fought all his life.
The other thing I like is that it doesn't sugar coat what goes on in such places, because the slave and other trade really is that bad.
Just remember what he said in Rambo. "God's never gonna make that go away".
@@johnhuddleston8647 That is exactly it. Rambo was a good guy deep down but he did a lot of things that he had to end up paying for. He got to go out like a hero and that was the best end he could have had.
@@mapesdhs597 Yes,sadly that kind of thing happens a lot. Who can say what they would do if they were pushed to the extreme that Rambo was.
Rambo is a tragic hero, a happy ending is not in his cards. Also the tunnels have to do with his time in Vietnam. That was how the North Vietnamese fought. It strange but some times things that gave you dramatic experiences also feel familiar and give comfort.
I agree that this could have been a solo movie instead of being part of the franchise. I love the revenge aspect, the action, gore, kills and emotions are great. Stallone's acting is really good. Thx for the reaction guys, it made my night alot better.
A potential problem if it were a non-Rambo solo movie would be explaining why the protagonist was so good at weapons, combat and explosives. It being Rambo means we already know that as a given. Plus there's the basic audience pull of it being a "Rambo movie" vs. some unknown actor or entirely new character.
Funny how films vary, eg. Neeson in Taken movies takes out a lot of baddies, but almost always just with guns, his character doesn't do the splat stuff with traps, knives or bare hands.
I thought the whole tunnel idea was stupid. In the novel “First Blood”, Rambo always lived out in the open due to having flashbacks of being in a pit having filth poured on him while he was a POW.
This movie could have been a lot better.
I absolutely LOVE Last Blood. I saw it a couple times in theatres and it was a great end to the franchise. I had such a fun time watching it.
The end is left up to the viewer.... We saw the horses go away, but then at the end he's on one riding off into the sunset... haha He died on that porch, and that was a white horse.
I haven't seen your full reaction yet.
I find Rambo a tragic character with this addition. Rambo is always looking for peace in his life. Unfortunately Rambo was conditioned to be a proficient killer. So the people that wants to protect unfortunately are always ruined by circumstances beyond their control. Rambo then has to resort to violence to go back to peace.
It's very much like any country at peace. If there's peace within a country I question at what cost does that peace came from. Peace is paid with blood and tears of those: before, with, and after us.
👍
This one is underrated, I like it more than part three and part four!
I agree. People seem to forget that a lot of time has past between Rambo 4 and this one. He went home. His father had people working at the ranch. His father passed and now it is his. This lady worked for his father and Rambo has pretty much lived with them now for the last 10 years. He has been out of the war life for a while now and is a little slower and older than he used to be. We all will get there. Life for John Rambo has slowed down for the last 10 years.
My question is, how does he deal with, dispose of, or explain all of the dead bodies on his ranch? He is not in a war zone anymore.
I've always had respect for Sly, but my respect grew exponentially when he decided to reboot this franchise and instead of doing a crappy version of it, he went all out and ramped up the gore and violence. He presented very realistic scenarios as far as how violent armed conflicts are, none of the violence was implied and he just didn't give a f*ck! 😂
Ah yes, Dragon's Breath shotgun rounds brings back BO2 memories. Glad they were used in the movie. Nice reaction video!
Dave Bautista used them in Stallone's Escape Plan 2.
funny fact: Ralph Macchio was once pitched a sequel to Karate Kid that was a crossover with Rocky.
Now, watch Sylvester Stallone again in The Expendables trilogy. Your going to love it trust me 😉.
Oh definitely man!
Expendables is the worst piece of sh--t you can watch. It's neither funny nor good. Even as a die hard fan of all these 80-90 actionheros and movies
@@maroda8094 first ones good imo. Second ones alright, third one isn't worth watching
I like the first 2 Expendables. Hated the third one because they sideline all of the legendary dudes for the new uninteresting young blood.
1st one is classic 80's film, actually underrated, the second one is 90% a parody, the 3rd one is a mess.
I actually really like this film
Funny fact: I worked with the girl who played Gabriela from 2011-2014 at a movie theater. At the time, she was just starting acting classes. She was a nice & funny person
Yeah the film was absolutely Rambo throwing out anything and everything that he has ever learned ever done ever been. He spent his whole life after Vietnam trying to escape who he was and to come full circle and really except and unleash everything he is on these people who took away his niece who became his whole world for about a decade of peace and happiness. It's sad and also enlightening that you can't run from your demons. You have to face them. I always wished when I saw this film that if maybe her grandmother and her uncle Rambo would have told her the truth about her father what a despicable human being he was and be very graphic and detailed she wouldn't have gone to see him and this wouldn't have happened. I always believe in telling kids the absolute truth even if it's ugly. I'm glad you were able to finish off your Rambo series it's been phenomenal. Continue on with Sylvester Stallone films please
What I particularly enjoyed about this final story of Rambo is how they showed how vulnerable he could get trying to save a person's life he tried to do the peaceful thing when he went down there to get her back and he didn't even want to cause any trouble and even when trouble came to him he did not resort to the Rambo we all know until it was necessary it became necessary when she died the girl... But I love the fact that we get a glimpse of what John Rambo could be if he did not have all that combat experience we get to see more vulnerable side to John Rambo..... And to ask the question you had earlier it's always good to close out a story, even if some of the audience may have mixed emotions or feelings about it and even if the movie is not that great I would still watch it, but if it's horrible don't watch it... But as long as it closes out a characters story arc, go ahead and watch it and just hope that the story doesn't destroy the character. We've had a lot of current movies do that recently where they would just completely destroy the character and replace it with a female or some inferior man....
Still remember seeing this in theaters, and everyone was silent as the grave when Rambo stabbed the table
Me and my wife saw this in the theaters and everybody was squirming in their seats on the collarbone scene. I yelled out “yes”!, because that’s when it felt like a Rambo movie to me. On a sadder note, Rambo was able to save lots of people in all the other movies, the POWs, Colonel Troutman, the missionaries, but he could not save his own niece/daughter. I think the final kill was a perfect ending for Rambo. This movie gets a lot of hate, but I still really liked it. I’ve even made some edits and rescores using this movie. I understand some people may not think it feels too much like a Rambo movie because he has short hair. He’s not in the jungle or at war with an army, but it was 11 years since the last movie came out, so I would hope the character would change a little bit for the better. And he did, so it makes sense to me. Plus he is a lot older in this one so the days of being a one-man army like the first three Ramboz would just be unrealistic and hokey. So I think Stallone did a good job with what he had to work with. I’ve been watching your guy’s reactions to the Rambo movies and I was most excited for part four and part five. Did not disappoint. Thanks guys.
36:21 it's very common for veterans particularly ones with heavy PTSD to want to be underground I believe it has to with being repeatedly being mortared and bombed and only getting any rest in a fortified bunker that are generally under ground or are concrete caves
The final kill was awesome
Rambo carved that antagonist 🫣like 🤔Jason..🤔no Michael Myers.
He should have shoved a big knife up his ass for sexually abusing women lol
Great vídeo and reaction ! Waw , tanks for ALL movies of saga Rambo ! Tanks so much ❤️. Congrats from Brazil 🇧🇷👏👏👏.
Greetings from Costa Rica. I really liked the movie, and although it wasn't as violent as 4, let's say it wasn't, it had a very cruel ending that unfortunately happens in real life.
I love the fact rambo a Vietnam vet set up his own Viet Cong tunnels filled with Viet Cong traps. Boobytraps like Toe poppers a punji pit and mechanical spear traps. LOL 😆😂 God i love Rambo!
🫡 me towards Rambo at the end of the movie
Recommendation for you to react: Gran Torino (2008), this movie is excellent and sad.
Ohhh, great film. Yes definitely recommended that one. Clint Eastwood is grumpy, funny, scary and cool as the old man. 😅
@@danskyl7279 The Clint movies should definitely be explored at some point.
This Rambo movie was more personal than anything else. Just when he found peace, they pull him out of retirement.
“Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in”
I think where we see the flashbacks from the previous films at the end maybe where supposed to mean Rambo died while he was sitting on the porch. Kind of like he was seeing his life before his own eyes.
Could be, yes.
Nope what happens during the last part of the credits is he gets on his horse and rides off towards the mountains then the screen turns black
Fun trivia about Last Blood: when Stallone was developing the story for the fifth Rambo movie, it was gonna be a sci-fi horror movie based on the novel Hunter "which finds a legendary tracker being tasked by the government to track down a feral, man-made monster. Hunter leads a team of mercenaries after the creature, which seemingly cannot be killed. Since Hunter and Rambo are essentially the same character, Stallone felt the book would make a strong basis for a sequel." 😄
So basically a Stallone Predator.
Glad Stallone didn’t go that route.
Hunter is an awesome novel. And so is Cain by the same author.
I hope there'll be a Final Blood...
24:39 40 years... geez, when you say it like that. i can say i never ever thought i'd be watching Rambo 40 years after seeing First Blood.
This Rambo actually ties in perfectly with the franchise. Thematically, Rambo was always trying to go home, like Gabrielle. He ended up with the events of First Blood, she ended up with the events of Last Blood. I'm sure it could've been great as a standalone action film, but it's my second-favorite in the series. I also recommend watching the opening of the director's cut, because the U.S. version cut out a long scene at the beginning that kind of showed us how he'd reintegrated into the world again.
Strongly disagree
It's a complete tonal mess. The 1st is one of THE greatest movies of it's type, the 4th one is one of THE closest to the real deal war films, absolutely brutal, tragic and a GREAT action film with clear and simple story, perfectly paced. With this, Last blood they messed up a potentially great ending, it feels like it had 2 directors on this a great one and one that doesn't know wtf he's doing, the intro is rushed, horrifically bad CGI, him having a family is rushed, as is the howl nephew turned into junky-Rambo healing story thread.
The bad guys are there just to get killed off, the ending is the studio trying to eat their cake and have it too, they had NO idea how to end it. Sly is THE best thing about this film, tremendous as always.
@@4Everlast Nah this is good
@@DiggitySlice Nope. Agree
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 Not by any standards, not as film quality goes, nor as a Rambo fan, cause there's 2 versions of Rambo, the 1st and 4th movie is one Rambo(interesting as a character, deep, brooding, human), 2nd and 3rd another(killing machine, action hero with trying to stuff some humanity at the end).
I've never seen this one, but watching this reaction I can tell what everyone was talking about, and I see you echo some of the same sentiments. It really doesn't feel like a Rambo movie and probably was an unnecessary addition to a completed story.
I think the magnesium in the rounds would make it DRAGONS BREATH ROUNDS! Great reaction video, cannot wait for the next one.
I like this movie. It's to the point and kicks total ass. Great reaction. I highly recommend Cobra from 1986, Lock Up from 1989, Demolition Man from 1993, The Specialist from 1994, Assassins from 1995, Daylight from 1996, and Bullet To The Head from 2013. And of The Expendables. Stallone's action films must watch for action movie fans.
They've seen Demolition Man, I think. But Cobra is a must

@@TBRSchmitt
Have you seen "Gross Pointe Blank"?
There is an extended version of the beginning that was released on Amazon Prime where Rambo on horseback is helping local police in search for 3 hikers who got caught in a flashflood. He was only able to rescue one of the hikers.
There is also a scene where his "niece" is comforting him for his perceived failure regarding the two dead hikers.
"Every legend has one more fight left in them".
Proven for Rocky Balboa.
Just as much for John Rambo.
Part 5 was announced back in 2015 while Sly was working on Creed 1.
Heavy duty training after he finished Creed 2.
The synopsis sounded interesting in the vain of TAKEN or Sicario.
Speaking to another great travesty of young girls snatched up and forced into prostitution by cartels.
Losing his neice, regaining his killer instinct and doing damage to these cartel punks was definitely the film I was expecting.
What did get me was the tunnels.
Built to deal with his darkness.
So he can keep his peace on the surface (literally and figurative).
I feel this was a worthy ending to the film series.
Sly has talked about a prequel series about Rambo's early military service.
I thought this movie was alright. For me, the series goes
1. First Blood
2. First Blood Part 2
3. Rambo (2008)
4. Last Blood
5. Rambo III
I'm with you TBR. Rambo 4 is the most appropriate ending to the Rambo saga. This movie's storyline was simply attached to the series to get 'fans' bums on seats. This was basically 'Taken' meets 'Rambo'.
40 years of Rambo and Rocky, where he wrote and directed most all of them! Amazing! Every big star of the day, passed on Rambo! And Hollywood. They thought he had no talent!
Since Rambo 4 i kinda missed the character of Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna) . It's weird how nobody ever mentions this.
Yeah the last Rambo is somewhat derailed from the story. This one reminds me of the A team except there's no team...lol.
When you see how he looks back on his life at the end, that's a powerful piece when you witnessed all parts coming out. So as a viewer you feel as if you also have come a long way in life by the time this saga ends.
How about a pre Rocky
Sly Stallone and
pre Fonzie Henry Winkler?
" The Lord's of Flatbush" (74)
A Cult Classic !
Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both take care
Don't worry. RAMBO will be back. I believe the next and really last film will have Rambo taking refuge on the Navajo Indian Reservation. There to heal his wounds and enter some spiritual transcendence that leads to a fully realized redemption of his life.
For real?!
I heard Sly was done with the films.
But he was in talks to develop a prequel series.
@@k.delpino1124 Prequel is always a silly idea, just another way to start the franchise again with a younger actor. I think there should be one Final Blood, putting Rambo to rest and maybe in the grave...
Unlikely. The final shot is him dying. Riding off on a white horse, c'mon the symbolism is clear.
Probably the most brutal of the movies They are in his home territory now
There are still some good Stallone movies to add to the list: Daylight, Lock Up, Assassins, Cobra, Over The Top, The Specialist, The Expendables Saga, Over The Top, etc
My rank of this series is 1,4,5,2,3... but I don't dislike any of them. 3 is a little to 'superhero-ish' but still thrilling. BTW, unrelated, but Stallone's new series "Tulsa King" is great (so far anyway)
Mine is 1, 3, 2, 5, 4.
I posted on another video that Rambo Last Blood is Rambo at his most vulnerable and most viscious. I’m glad y’all finished the Rambo movies now it’s time to watch The Expendables trilogy.
I haven’t seen this myself but I kind of feel that watching it cut up but with you guys and your funny commentary, I’m positive that I will completely follow the plot 😅 that’s the beauty with Rambo
There's a few movies that are out that I'm content with this logic on. I enjoy the reactor so much I don't really care for all the fluff I'm missing. It's good enough I'll watch it
The directors cut is alot better but Rambo cutting that brothers heart out and seeing Rambos skill for traps was FANTASTIC 😆 great show guys keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀
I think Stallone wanted to put a true ending to the Rambo series. Everyone wondered in the first movie what would have happened if he was a killer. This movie showed us
More unremorseful
For me this was a great Rambo film,was really satisfying watching the bad guys get ripped apart. Sex trafficking is a terrible,very current problem,just like the civil war was a thing when the last Rambo came out & if you remember they were sickening baddies too. Think the death of his niece was to hit home to the audience how the real families of these young girls felt,probably never to see them again. It’s harsh but at least Rambo got to bury her,a lot of the families didn’t even get that,they were just left wondering what had happened to their loved ones,never seeing them again with absolutely no closure.
Samantha's reaction in 20:27 had me dying laughing! I LOVE IT!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
There's a great comedy called Son of Rambow about two kids remaking the original Rambo movie. it's worth checking out even if it wouldn't be a hit for the channel
The planned cut of this film was 101 minutes. Opening with a flood rescue scene where Rambo as a volunteer on horseback saves someone, and laments that he can't save everyone. That includes a guy who drowned because he went back from safety to look for his wife, even though Rambo told him his wife was already dead. Then you go to a shot of Rambo taking drugs for his PTSD. Then to the opening scenes you see here, but longer cuts of them with more character development. That WAS the theatrical release everywhere in the world except the U.S., U.K. and Canada. For some reason, they decided at the last minute to cut down the domestic English release to 89 minutes. The other version (which is superior because it gives a fuller view of what Rambo currently is) is the Extended Cut on Amazon Prime U.S.
I have a fuller version
Magnesium packed behind the 12 gauge slug is called a Dragons breath round. It fires the slug and a flame that's close to 3000 degrees . ( the flare point of the Magnesium )
Most of the traps Rambo made were actual Vietnam jungle traps, although these were usually set up in the jungle and not in the tunnels.
I don't know why this movie wasn't well received. I loved it. It took a tragic character and tried to give it a realistic end. At first I was honestly hoping Rambo would finally die, but I liked the ending. It's so weird that the word "Rambo" essentially means, "violence" when he himself is constantly trying to avoid being violent.
I enjoyed Rambo last blood it felt like a slasher film in the 3rd act which was awesome
Ok can i just say the death scenes in this one are way more grusome than the last Rambo, in most movies you hear someone say "im gonna rip your goddam heart out" Rambo literally ripped the guys heart out considering that he ripped out a guys throat in the previous movie
'Rambo' and 'Rambo: Last Blood' are both GNARLY action movies.
If you are going to stay on the Stallone train, I would recommend the movie "Shade" from 2003.
Stallone plays a card sharp.
Great ending in that movie.
Could you not find the extended edition? My copy has nearly 7 minutes of prologue on the side of a mountain that is not just good on its own right, but also a great callback to the very first movie . . .
Been waiting for someone to react to this. In my humble opinion, it's the best one since the first movie.
There's nothing wrong with this Rambo, thematically it fits. Problem is when it was made, last Rambo was 2008 and this was 2019. Society had a major shift in seeing things. Basically since Rambo is a white character, him killing people of different persuasion is problematic to the new type of critics. Otherwise this is a Rambo version of Taken, except Liam was killing "european traffickers" which is OK. The author panned it also, but he panned others also. As a non-white, knowing the real deal, I liked it.
From what I know of Rambo, he is a mix of Navajo, german and italian. But I guess one can call him white. I don’t listen to these new types of critics. I see a man, tired of injustice, kill evil people.
Hey guys a podcast you might like is called Dis-oder wear three Disney guys watch every Walt Disney Animation Studios movie in order plus more theirs lots of great Disney trivia you can find it in most podcast channels
I found this movie to be too dark, especially with what they did with Yvette's character. Just too sad an ending for such a hopeful character. All that being said, I didn't hate it.
That’s the most realistic part, no American Girl Hispanic or not would last a night in some random part of Mexico with 1 friend (that was already in on their kidnapping)
@@sosaboi1352 Agreed. She was too stupid to live. Her character annoyed me with her decisions, but she was a perfect example of today's "strong empowered woman who don't need no man."
This is the short version with the 10 minute opening cut out.
The extended cut is the best version in my opinion...
@@MLJ7956 Definitely.
One interpretation of the ending is that he's dying from the gunshot wounds, remembering stuff he's been through, then imagining himself "riding off into the sunset" as he dies.
Yes, more Stallone movies please.
(Over the Top, Lock Up, Assassins, The Specialist, Cobra, Daylight, Samaritan;
"Samaritan" would be an interesting Reaction, I would be curious if / when they can see the twist before the ending.
Hahahaha your outro about bloodthirst had me rolling. I never noticed my similar feeling watching movies and shows. What a great take. Keep up the great work.
