Rambo: Last Blood


Recommended Posts

First Ive heard of this, hope its as good as the last one (I think that was just called Rambo, unless Ive missed any) :)

Since Arnie has been bought up in this thread already, what do folk think of the more recent Terminator movies? The last one I saw was T3 but they've released a few since then I think. Are any of them worth checking out?

Should be putting his feet up with a gentleman's pipe and a packet of werther's originals in his pocket about now rather than fighting people. 

Hey, he should've been getting a haircut and a job in 1982 but that didn't stop him from tearing a small north American town a new one just because the Sheriff didn't want him to stop there on his way to Portland :lol:  Really and truly him and the Sheriff should've gotten on like a house on fire, he thought Rambo was a hippie and hated him for it and, as we discover in the closing monologue, Rambo hated hippies too!

No.

Stick with the first two and don't tarnish the legacy.

Sylvester Stallone and "Last," three words that are ridiculous to see next to one another.

There is no "last" anything if there is a paycheck in it for Sly. Shame-less.

Well, I think there are enough fans who want to see these movies and since Sly is an acting and director and writer, he has every right to continue making movies that people enjoy.

Sly isn't the only one who makes millions off movies. Most actors in Hollywood get paid unreal amounts of money to make shitty movies too.

This is why I don't understand how there are so many homeless and poor people in the US, when some of these stars could give up a cool million and take care of them.

OR...you could all pay higher taxes to fund a welfare state!

I'm paying enough taxes, but yeah, all those sports players and actors who have millions of dollars to spare could do more. I can't believe how many homeless live in LA alone and yet no one seems to want to donate enough money to help them.

I just don't understand how the middle class, myself included, struggles every day, and actors, and sports figures get tons of money. Not right!

A great many do.  And not all of em make a big song and dance about it.  The problem with a welfare state is everybodys all for it until you've got to open your wallet.

Never seen a Rambo movie. But I remember learning about how the book its based on was basically anti-war (authors from my province!). It showed how over seas war caused trauma and then that violence travelled back home with him due to that Trauma. A 'transposal' of the war. The suggestion being that the cycle of violence needed to be broken. Apparently the scripts went through 2 studios and 17 scripts before it became a film that was the launch pad to go back to fighting in Nam by the second film.

Is there still a bit of 'fuck the system' through the series?

There almost wasn’t a second movie as he dies in the original ending.

The first movie is great. 2 and 3 not so much but they’re alright in an 80’s guilty pleasure kind of way. 4 was really enjoyable so I’m looking forward to this.
