Who is saying not to watch this? This was the fan favorite. Back then, this was all the teenage boys talked about. We loved this movie, and there were a lot of movie references of it.

“To survive war you have to become war” - Never forgot that line and it describes Rambo perfectly

The last scene always gets to me. 🥺 First when the kernel says “don’t hate your country for it” Rambo looks offended and says “I would die for it!!” Meaning ‘how dare you even think I could ever hate my country’ And then when asked “what do you want?” Rambo says “I want what they want. For our country to love us as much as we love it” 😢😭 God bless our soldiers 🙏🏼🇺🇸

My Dad and Uncle are 'Nam vets and they went to see this movie in the theatre back in '85. He said there were a lot of vets there and they were cheering at the movie like it was a Van Halen concert.

"He's being so sly" Well, Rambo is always Sly.

I really hope she continues watching these because I really want her to watch 4

If you decide to watch the fourth Rambo, seek out the director's cut. There's more dialogue and character development there.

I was military police back in the day and they sent us to training in which it was about 100 of us versus 7 green berets. They picked us all off one by one in the woods. You were dead before you even know what hit you.

I love all of the Rambo movies, I think the reason some people don't like the later movies is because First Blood is a more dramatic commentary of how veterans were treated, and the effects of PTSD in soldiers. The later movies do touch on this but they're more action movie than the first one, but I don't see that as a bad thing, they're all great movies.

This is a great movie, shows the dark side of bureaucracy. Thanks for continue with the saga Mary.

I don't know why anyone says only the first one is good. This is my favorite from the franchise. A little over the top with the explosions, but very intense. The scene where he opens his eyes being completely stealth was impressive in the theater.

Fun fact in Warhammer 40k there is a legendary soldier named Sly Marbo who one of the sneakiest dudes in the setting and one of the most decorated his name is an anagram for Sylvester Stalone and Rambo

I tear up when I watch the scene where the poor guy doesn't know what year it is.. When he finds out he's in the 80s the pain in his eyes breaks me every time...😢

This is my favorite in the series. The monologue at the end is perfect!

For those of you that don’t know in the original novel, David Morrell wrote it so that the character of Rambo died. His traumatic memories of war in Vietnam psychologically damaged him so badly that he basically became a psychopath against the national guard and cops. He literally destroys the town in the book and killed many more people. He was so out of control they didn’t have a choice but too kill him off. However when James Cameron decided too write Rambo 2 he pitched the project too David Morrell about Rambo returning too Vietnam to rescue POWs and David Morrell brought Rambo back for the 2nd novel.

"i don't know how long she'll least for..." Lol .. this was so hard to not laugh knowing the unfortunate end coming to Co before the end.. poor Mary.

The thing about First Blood 2 is that it released a virtual deluge of "one man army" movies where one guy (or, occasionally, a girl) would take on an entire army, crime syndicate, or other huge evil organization, and win. It's kind of one of the things that defined the 80s.

While I did not personally enjoy Rambo III and Rambo: Last Blood enough to watch them more than once, they are not in any way bad films. Personally, I think the first, second, and fourth films tell a great story and are absolutely worth watching again, and again. Glad to see you enjoying these films Mary. Looking forward to the next reaction.

II was such a phenomenon it sparked even more 80's Action movies, a cartoon series.. I had Rambo toys machine gun and knife included, the POW tower with trap door 😂❤️

Thank you for being open-minded and taking your time to resurge the situation for Vet's after Vietnam. Also, try to imagine every little boys birthday or Christmas wish at the time the Rambo movies came out..... Yes, it's THE KNIFE !

I saw this film in like, 3rd grade, at summer camp provided by myprimary school. Turning point of my film watching. This was THE action film of its time !!! Only supersceded by Predator in 6th grade, and Top Gun in 8th grade. Iconic films of the 80s!

This is my personal favorite Rambo movie. They are all just good popcorn flicks after the first one.

Watching your video reaction to "Rambo - First Blood II" after having driven 60mi. into the Boise Veterans Admin. Medical Center today for my annual exam. I am a disabled Viet. Vet. due to exposure to "Agent Orange" while serving "in country" during the Tet Offensive (1968). I always enjoy seeing how you react to a conflict so foreign to you primarily due to your youth. Just remembered the G.I.'s version of the 23rd Psalm that we would have engraved on cigarette lighters & jewelry. Our version went, "Yea through I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for I am the evilest son of a bitch in the valley."

"Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment" Of course he can fly a helicopter ;) Great reaction btw. I agree Co’s death was heartbreaking, she was so strong and devoted.

Those survival knives like the one Rambo carried were massively popular after this movie came out. A Bowie knife with a compass on the handle that unscrewed to open a hollow where there were matches, a fishing line and hook, and a few other "survival" tools. The reason a lot of people pan this and the next movie are because some of the cheesiness... like a guy about 50 feet away firing an automatic rifle at him while Rambo slowly gets his bow and strings the arrow to fire.

Hey Mary! I watch and enjoy action movies like this whole franchise to be entertained. Not to fact check reality or pick them apart in any way or to endorse or reject any related political statement. It's emotive entertainment with easy to see/feel good and bad characters/themes. I can re-watch any of these on my own if I choose, but I watch reaction channels like yours because of how you react to them. I enjoy re-experiencing them through your emotions (excitement, tears, anger, happiness, etc., all of it). Have to admit, it bothers me a bit that viewers tell you to not watch a movie only because they didn't like it as much as something else. The whole point is to react to your reactions - so why not watch more of a franchise that you have enjoyed so far? There will always be people who applaud you "watching the next one" in any series. So thank you for choosing to react to First Blood II despite some telling you not to - and I encourage you to decide to watch the next one based on how YOU feel. You'll know when to stop, and maybe when NOT to upload something you truly didn't enjoy. Trust your gut. And thank you for what you do - you (and all your friends that you collab with) are really good at this! Respect to you! 😃

This is the way we all saw it in the theater. I think they avoided subtitles, to add to the uncertainty of what Rambo was going through.

I owned "Rambo 2 and 3 in 4K because they're my favorite action movies. Watching the woman die as a kid destroyed me. I was crying but I was quiet and kept watching as "Rambo continued to kick ass throughout the the movie. This will always be my favorite action film. I have 65"4K in my bedroom and I watch it on my PS5 at least a couple of times a year now. Awesome video "Mary 🍒💐

People are haters. This was way different than First Blood. I recommend all Rambo movies. He slinks out at the end of this one into the jungle and I love where they pick up with it in Rambo III. Rambo 2008 is super violent and Rambo Last Blood I bought on DVD so I could loan it out to people who haven't seen it.

Mary: "I hope nothing happens to her..." Me: "Oh no Mary, what have you done!?"

Hope you continue to watch all 5 Rambo films. Cannot wait for Rambo 6 to come out.

The 2nd movie was huge when it came out. Not sure why anyone said it was inferior

Another thing to keep in mind, this was a Cold War movie as much as a Rambo movie. For another rescue POWs movie Uncommon Valor is good. The title comes from a quote by Admiral Chester Nimitz who said "uncommon valor was a common virtue" about the men who fought on Iwo Jima. The ultimate Cold War movie has got to be Red Dawn, the original with Patrick Swayzee.

I reversed time as a kid to 28 years old. Watched Rambo III on VHS and now I bought the novel First Blood.

Such a wonderful reaction. Love it. Thank you.

This movie! This gave us MGS3, the Farcry series and the Mercenaries games. It's a gem.

The glowing cherry in the background always fascinates me. I love pretty lights ^^

This film and 3 has some of my favourite film scores of all time, it’s so perfect

All the Rambo movies are great. Rambo 4 was pretty gory and emotional to me...as a guy. I cried.

😂😂😂😂 The timing of the woman being shot RIGHT after Mary thought Rambo found his true love.

This one may not be quite as good as the first but I still really enjoyed it and I enjoyed all the rest of them. Its so cool how each movie pretty much starts where there previous one ends. The rest are like this one in that there is a lot of action in them. Great job Lady Mary.

"Rambo... you're not expendable." And then years later Sylvester Stallone would star in a movie called The Expendables! 😊

I'm one of the few people on the planet that has Rambo III as my favorite. Its epic as hell. Crenna called it Rambo of Arabia.

The original movie had a lot more emotional conflict, rather than just pure action.

You couldn't wait for Rambo to get Murdock that was so satisfying

First Blood probably had the best story of all of the movies, but 2 and 3 weren't anywhere near bad...this is the one where Rambo became iconic. The first was more personal, just trying to survive, but this one we get to see Rambo in his element. It doesn't disappoint. 3 can have a feeling of "here we go again", but that's also what a lot of people want. My personal favourite is Rambo (#4) which is a lot of fan service (20 years after #3), but I won't complain. (I personally think the last one didn't need to exist and would like to forget it, but I wouldn't say it's a bad movie.)

In video games “Going Rambo” is defined as running in guns blazing with little to no cover. But it should also refer at times to using stealth in an aggressive and offensive way. As in traps, stealth kills and fear tactics. The games that are as close as you can get to being Rambo are the rebooted Tomb Raider games (especially the 3rd one Shadow Of The Tomb Raider) and Far Cry 6. There is even a side mission where you help out the biggest Rambo fan ever and it ends with you getting the bow and explosive tipped arrow kit used in THIS MOVIE, you even kill bad guys while shouting quotes from the movies. Also I love the message James Cameron conveyed in this movie that we need to treat our veterans with far more love, respect than we give them. Cameron’s own brother is a veteran. Sadly to this day too many governments and militaries (including and especially our own) don’t give their veterans the care the need and deserve. They prop them up as heroes and then when their usefulness has ended they are cast aside and treated with indifference.

I absolutely love that you not only decided to react to this series but that you enjoy it as well. The shells the Vietnamese solders were using are morters. Its funny that you got caught up on the word "expendable" and you love action. You definenently have to check out the expendable franchise. I love the action in this movie always have since i was a kid but i always get caught up in the last 2 minutes during his speech. I had an uncle who faught in vietnam who recently passed away. It hits harder now. Im glad to see you and many other reactions to that seen showing emotion and giving them the respect they deserve. Cant wait for you to continue

Hi Mary, back when Rambo II came out, we use to have a saying: What is the QKM? Quality Kills per Minute. This all ended with terminator 2, when John connor told the terminator not to kill anyone.

This and Rocky IV in 1985. Sly owned the game as an actor and filmmaker. The original FB was always psychological with action and drama. But these sequels turned Rambo into a major action hero of the era. Sly was in peak physical form. Between the gym and working with top-notch combat experts. For writing part 2, Sly Stallone on one side made sure that the character remained flawed. James Cameron on the other side added the more visceral mode of Rambo's skill and bada**ery. One of the first Rated-R movies to produce toys, video games, lunch boxes, bookbags, etc. Followed by an animated series in 1986, "RAMBO:The Force of Freedom" (65 episodes). Action packed, not too violent and a bit edgier than G.I. Joe. Glad you like this one. The other 3 really go the distance.

All the Rambo movies are awesome in their own way, John J. is a total icon just like Rocky : )

First Blood is considered the best because it was story based, whereas 2 and 3 were action based. The movie "Rambo" brought back the story based film. I hadn't seen "Rambo : Last Blood", but I heard it was disappointing, you'll have to decide on your own.Finish the series, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. By the way, coming out this year is "Rambo 6 : New Blood". It's supposed to make up for the last one. I'm looking forward to checking it out. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

The Rambo sequels are great, don't believe those comments. The first one had a very specific story to tell and it had a lot of emotion to it, that's why it's considered the best. They went for a different direction with the sequels, focusing more on the action, but they're still very well made, each one continuous Rambo's story and they all have something to say. Very good films imo and obviously great action flicks.

To answer 2 of your questions. 1. The reason there's no subtitles is because we as the audience don't need that particular dialogue; as it adds to the suspense of the story. 2. The reason they didn't kill Rambo is because he is worth infinitely more alive. At the time the Vietnamese government was "selling" hope to the U.S. people. They would "find" a few POWs here and there and then ransom them back to the U.S. government. Then Ronald Reagan basically told them "Give us our boys back or we will RESTART the Vietnam War". The POWs were all returned.

My favourite of the Rambo movies. First Blood is technically a better film, but this is one of the greatest action movies of the 80's (possibly all-time).

As a fan of the series there is First Blood this Epic Movie and last blood

"you made it Rambo" lol, I think it's lines like that that made the later movies seem more like tv worthy vs the film quality of the original.

As you all know (or if you don't know) this movie was filmed in Mexico, in the state of Guerrero, in locations near Acapulco... last year the highway between Mexico City and the port was closed and they diverted us... We got lost for a while and we passed exactly on the bridge where those Jeeps exploded... Maybe it's something unimportant, but I remembered the movie and my adolescence... and they eat very good seafood in the small family kitchens out there...

Yes, the sequels are mixed but II and Rambo (2008) are the ones people really like. The latter addressed the Myanmar situation which Stallone wanted to do while people were focused on the Middle East. Last Blood touches Rambo's personal life and also current events.

Mary, once again a great reaction to a fantastic movie. I do agree that 'First Blood' is the best RAMBO film, but the others are action packed and meaningful as well. I love 'RAMBO' & 'Last Blood' and so look forward to your reactions in the near future. I love your channel and keep those flicks rolling! 🍿🎥👍

Good old Rambo 2. One of my favourites

Cameron wrote the script about the same time as Aliens and you can see the similarities in the plot.

I personally love every Rambo movie just like every Rocky movie.

Yes!! Please do them all, no one else has

Fantastic reaction, Mary! - Yes, almost everybody says that the first Rambo movie is the best - and I agree on that, but this second one is just so darn entertaining - Rambo as a war machine in the search for justice and seeking out those POWs, who are "forgotten" by USA. Lods of action, explosions, death, war, killings, justice, courage and even romance in a nice big 80's action package. I really love it - Rambo was already a hero, but now he is legendary . The score by Jerry Goldsmith may use the same theme over and over again, but what's a kickass score which compliments the hero of Rambo perfect! - Truth, Justice and Revenge! Btw - if you want to check something kinda weirdo - look for "Steel Justice" from the year 1987. About a war veteran who takes a step up and start to battle crime in the State as a cop. His buddy gets killed by a vicious guy in a drug ring. Now the lead, whose name is John STEELE! have to seek out Justice!.... the best part!? - John Steele is played by Martin Kove! (And he is not likable at all, almost on the same level as Steven Seagal, but imagine seeing Martin Kove playing the hero?.... nah... dosn't work...)

The moment she said "I support this" @20:15 is when I suscribed!

Perfectly done. It was fun hanging out with you.

"The mind is best weapon"

The first movie has a very strong message, but if you enjoy the style of 80's action movies then the sequel movies will entertain you.

One thing to keep in mind for context is that when Rambo 1 and 2 came out we weren't that far removed from our loss in Vietnam and the way our vets were treated returning home. The movie platoon wouldn't be a thing till the year after Rambo 2 was released. The USA hadn't dealt with it as a country so they did a great job of showing it from the perspective of the vet in a way. Obviously compared to Platoon this is way over the top and not realistic but back then it really hit in the feels and combined with movies like Platoon was a catharsis the country needed on the subject. I think this is where you had the change up of people who wanted to protest war to not take it out on the vets who are just doing their job but on the bureaucrats making the calls.

Glad I found your channel. I like your reactions to movies. Found you when you did a collab with Ashleigh.

My 8th grade social studies teacher was the brother of the main P.O.W. in this movie. He showed us all many picture of himself and Sly at his house. So cool

You have to watch Superman II The Richard Donner Cut

Never heard anyone trash this movie, First Blood and this were widely loved now as much as a fan I am of this franchise the third movie is... ok at best more of a "popcorn" movie. Moving into the 2008 Rambo was an amazing return to form and then Last Blood, honestly watch it if you must but your going to be let down.

Wait and see, when you watch part 4 and 5 then you Will truly see him in beast mode. Allways like your reactions to these classic movies.

I think modern audiences prefer the first one nowadays because we are much more sympathetic to mental health discourse compared to back when First Blood released. It’s a solid action film that looks at how America had moved on from Vietnam and we treated returning soldiers poorly because when we looked at them we didn’t want to be reminded sadly. That being said First Blood II was still massively popular and this movie is pretty much what pop culture thinks of when we think of Rambo and 80s action films in general. There are five movies in the franchise but I believe this one is still the highest grossing of them all.

When she said "she's ride or die..." lol

So powerful and intoxicating is this kind of movie hero that when we see him operating in a flaw-riddled movie like ''Rambo'' we realize that heroic action can override almost any script.

All the times you asked for subtitles, there has never been any ever for any version. Unless you speak Thai, or Vietnamese, you won't know for sure what they say. But also, we are not meant to understand it, we don't need it. Those languages are only there to give a sense of realism, that the story is happening there. The English spoken is all we need to get this film.

23:06 Stallone never looked more badass than in this moment.

Mary the Rambo that came out in like 2008 may be the best. Those other people are haters.

I always thought this was the 1st Rambo movie because as a kid who grew up in the 80's this was the only one they showed on TV. I also wore out the VHS. It wasn't til I was like 12 or 13 I finally watched Rambo 1. This one is my favorite, followed by 4 then 1. 5 and 3 are both good IMO and I have watched both over and over. There isn't one that I wouldn't sit down and watch anytime.

26:39 "I'm today years old when I found out that Rambo could fly a helicopter." --- In the first film Rambo actually said "back there, I could fly a gunship. I could drive a tank. Back here I can't even hold a job parking cars!!"

"Is Murdoch okay in the noggin?" Hahaha

rambo mentions he can fly helicopters during his NOTHING IS OVER! monologue in the first movie.

Trautman was Rambo's ultimate hype man.

Kitty isn't imprrssed, sleeping soundly. 😻

"got a bit of a mullet situation going on 😂" honey wait til part 3 😂

Rambo aka Rambo 4 if you get to the rest 4 is insane!

This movie uped the game for jungle action movies after it came out !

1. Mary has a filthy mind. 2. The cartoon "Rambo: The Force of Freedom" copies bits from this for its intro. Plus, it has the Rambo theme. So catchy.

The first Movie is really great, I love it. The second Part is has not a very deep story, but its great entertainment. The third is one of my special favorite. The fourth, well the only issue, It take too long to be created , but it's incredible good

Rambo 2 is by far my favorite in the series but I love all Rambo films. Great reaction!

Fun fact: In the book, the Vietnamese officer chasing Rambo was the same one who ran the camp he was imprisoned in during the war. That adds another layer to the kill scene.

Love the rambo series awesome reaction as always

Those grenades flying through the air during the rice paddy scene are called Mortars. They are basically like you said, grenades that fly through the air. Mortars when used by a competent and trained team can be used to devastating effect as anti personnel area of effect weapons.

13:45 Close. It's an RPG-7. Soviet-made Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher 14:05 Shoot? No, STAB! 14:46 Those aren't rocket or missile launchers. Those are just mortars, and they fire little bombs like small-scale artillery, used in an infantry support role. 19:31 "Очень хорошо!" (Ocheen khorosho/Very good)

Great react, I love Stallone and Rocky and Rambo are classic. The third was entertaining of course but Rambo four and Rambo last blood are excellent

Yes the 1st one is great, because it brings to light what vets had to deal with, 1st one was more a message, and an honor to vets. Where this one and the others are more about action. So while I love the 1st one, these others I would me more likely to watch over and over.
