Classic Movies#30: Rambo 1,2,3
A deep-dive into the quintessential 80s action franchise.
To celebrate our 30th Classic Movies Stream we dive into the bandana adorned, bow and arrow armed fury of the Rambo series. Do the first three films reflect an arc that stretches from the cultural pessimism of the 1970s into the 80s and patriotism reborn, tooled up, and ready to kill the commies once more? We investigate and even make a few impersonations along the way.
The first Rambo movie is a great film, it's the last hurrah of the gritty 70s' loner hero/anti hero. Personal favourite scene is the escape on the motorcross bike, brilliant riding, love the sound of the engine.
Lol in regards to people saying they want something upbeat. Never listen to "people" they mainly can't find their ass with two hands. They just say things to say things.
