    Rambo type guy. He hated what the government did to him, and only fought in self defense?

      Yeah that struck me, it’s literally the first time I’ve ever heard someone referred to as a “Rambo-type.”

      I maybe saw parts of the first Rambo 30 years ago, but I honestly can’t remember. This reference means very little to me other than “jacked mumbling idiot with a big machine gun.”

          First Blood ia really the only one to watch. Maybe the second movie. But First Blood was supposed to end with his suicide. So I like to think all the rest of them are a fever dream.

          Will do, I’m curious about it now. Tbh I’ve never found Stallone particularly compelling, but the more I think about it, the more I’m sure I only saw bits and pieces when I was young. Deserves a full watch.

            First blood was based on a book. It’s pretty grounded. He’s not disintegrating heads with a machine gun. He’s just a vet walking through town.

            First Blood is excellent. It’s not action schlock like the rest. It is absolutely worth your watch as an adult.

        Give it a watch, and enjoy the honoring of the Mujahedeen! The first one was literally dedicated to the peeps we now know as the Taliban.

          The first one where he was a drifter somewhere in the Pacific Northwest getting taunted by cops? I think you mean the 2nd or 3rd.
