Oliver Harper could you do double impact please I've been asking for 3 years! thanks Oliver

Oliver Harper, Make reviews about 'Hot Shots', part 1&2 or 'Naked Gun', even 'Airplane'! I know the movies are old, but definitely they deserve these videos. Especially, 'Hot Shots 2' which is a parody of 'Rambo' and another cult classics from the 80s.

The disaster artist is out! Please review The Room!

I'd like to see a retrospective of Buckaroo Banzai. That's one weird 80's movie.

Oliver Harper you should do a review on Come and See

Agreed, well said mate

Watch that scene and then say that Stallone can't act.

Facts bro you hit it right on the head. 💯

His emotional breakdown as a result of that scene is what distinguishes him as a human being, rather than a living weapon with no purpose in life.

First Blood and Die Hard are both flawless action movies...

Jw Nj its because of the sequels, definitely hurt its legacy

I remember my father used to complain a lot about the Rambo sequels, he always said "the first one is the best, it's more believable than the others" and boy he was right, I got the chance to watch the first during my teen years, this was back when we had to rely on VHS rentals or watch it on TV.

I enjoyed the sequels but I feel more connected to the character in the first movie.

Part II and III were mediocre but Rambo and Last Blood were awesome.

@@ViktorKruger99 the sequels (especially the last 2) are great fun but First Blood is a stand alone masterpiece.

My fav Vietnam/war movie ever made. Most ppl see it as a dumb action movie, but it`s not.This movie is a drama .And if you say that Sly can`t act after seing this movie, u`re blind or out of ya mind.And the scene at the end when he talks about his friend who`s in pieces...god damn ! Great movie !

@@gabrielmajin5265 I prefer this too, as a Vietnam movie, but not a war movie. For personal reasons I prefer Band of Brothers, which I know isn't quite a movie, but I got to meet some of the real people portrayed in the film when I was in the army. Also, my battalion makes a small appearance.

@@gabrielmajin5265 Thank you. Sylvester Stallone is not what you call an actor's actor, but when a role suits his unique identity, he totally kills it! You know an actor gave his all and convinced you he is real when you cry your eyes out in either sadness or joy and Stallone did that to me TWICE. 1. Rocky: I believe second to last round when he's knocked down and gets back up with the choral music background and has that look of "I'm still here" (after getting to know and love him throughout the entire movie). 2. First Blood: The end scene when he spills his guts to Trautman who silently listens with compassion before walking him out for his surrender. Sylvester Stallone CAN act- just don't cast him in anything outside of his element, though, lol.

Sharon Popolow I gotta day you’re spot on. I also feel like the famous “Adrian!!!!!” Is him at his finest. You can hear and feel how over come he is at the relief of the fight being over and how he had to be so dehumanized through the whole film. At that moment he just wants human interaction with the person he loves.

@@oe542 Speaking of dehumanized, one of my favorite parts was when he tried to play it off like he didn't care about Apollo poking fun of him and his ethnicity when he, Paulie, and Adrian were watching the prefight interview, but when he was saying goodnight to Adrian alone, he admitted it hurt. I didn't get that part until I got older and watched it, but when I got, well, I got it.

Mr Zeus George Carlin said it best about that "watering down" the term...

Nothing is over, not for me.

RascalMatt17 The book goes a bit further into just how much Vietnam has affected Rambo. and he does kill two civilians that tried to rob him while he is sleeping in a park and he systematically kills every cop that comes after him with the exception of the sheriff who managed to escape

Teasle convinces Trautman and Kern that Rambo is the bad guy in all of it.

One of the best films period

That little bit of knowledge I think helps emphasize that it's a conflict between two generations of soldiers.

You should read the book. The book shows the parallels between the Sheriff and Rambo.

Noggahide Gaming yea Teasle was adecorated Korean War Veteran

The Sheriff had a distinguished service cross(2nd highest award a soldier can earn, only the medal of honor is above it) for his actions in Korea at the chosin reservoir.

@@williamwalsh1533 I'm adding on a little to what you said for anyone who never read the book: The book does first-person perspective back and forth between Rambo and Teasle (kind've like GoT books), so you learn A LOT more about both characters' psyche/opinions and history- including both personal and military backgrounds. In the original source material, Rambo was not as valiant as the movie made him, nor was Teasle not as bad as the movie made him. There were more areas of grey in both men. Both the movie and the book were brilliant- but different.

Check out his return to drama with Copland. James Mangold film. Truly awesome.

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I rewatched it like a month ago. Great movie with an amazing cast.

Stallone is just an actor. Give more credit to the writer and director.

⁠@@ericstaples7220 Stallone was literally one of the writers dip shit. And he has directed several of his best films. You don't always have to be "that guy"

@@evilsWa Why don't you calm down? It's not that serious.

For some reason seeing this great review and reading Harrison Ford made me remember the Fugitive. Both movies are different, but well made manhunt movies.

I think Arnold has them both beat.

There's actually many examples not just a few. Luke Skywalker and others. Arnold, Van Damme, etc.

Stallone: Rambo '82-2019. Rocky '76-2018. Only character thats lasted for Arnold is the Terminator. I'll give u Mark Hamill if u want to count 20+ yrs voicing the Joker along with Luke of course. Yup, Harrison Ford and...? Guess i would count Sigourney Weaver. New Ghostbusters.

And The Fugitive. And Balde Runner.

He wasn't too bad in Assassins. Copland was great. He also earned that Oscar nom for Creed.

any movie can be good

copland is a great flex of his acting chops as well

​@@flightofthebumblebee9529 He was really good in Creed!!!

Grubnar The sequel were actually more true to the book.

The book is more morally ambiguous.

I agree on making the changes. What would the point of the story be if it went along with the main character, tortured as he may have bee, killing a bunch of civilians/US soldiers only to be killed himself? Talk about grimdark. The way they filmed it, you have the drama and the danger while still allowing the audience someone to root for.

The author wanted to write a book where, by the end, you didn't know who to root for. Because both Rambo and Teasle (the Sheriff) are deeply flawed guys (the book basically makes them co-protagonists). Its more of a cautionary tale about two guys who let their pride and stubbornness take over and cause a situation to needlessly escalate out of control. It's actually quite a good book (the movie is really good as well), just for different reasons.

Always wanted to read the book, I'll pick it up

Bruce Lee did the same in early 70s

@@postersandstuff How could Bruce Lee have watched Rambo?

And now we're getting *Last Blood* which... has been said that if it does well they'll make a 6th one 😂

You're not you when your hungry!

He should have had a Snickers...

Why don't you take a seat over there

Should have gone to McDonald's

Nick Mattio You can order food online now.

wstine79 same here :)

It's almost like a Saturday morning cartoon ;)

same :D

Annronjo

Mee too, it was quite surprise to see first one. Hey, this is completely different movie!

Nja lugn nu. Rambo har inget med frukt och grönt att göra. Och definitivt inget med Svensson landet att göra. Men vore kul om hälften av det du skrev va sant.

@@noairishrashid463 "Morrell says that in choosing the name Rambo he was inspired by "the sound of force" in the name of Rambo apples, which he encountered in Pennsylvania. These apples, in turn, were named for Peter Gunnarsson Rambo who sailed from Sweden to America in the 1640s, and soon the name would flourish in New Sweden. The name Rambo was likely derived from a shortened form of Ramberget (a hill on the Hisingen island in Gothenburg, where Peter Gunnarsson was born) plus "bo" (meaning "resident of"). Today, many of his descendants can still be found in this region of the US." according to Wikipedia.

Whoa. I had no idea he died till I read your comment.

I saw Dennehy do a play in Chicago back in 2010 and he was great. At one point, he actually fell down a steep set of stairs and the audience gasped because it wasn’t scripted. He slowly got up, dusted himself off and announced to the crowd “It’s ok folks. I’m only 70 years old! I’ll be fine.” That got a big laugh. I really wanted to get his autograph afterwards but I could tell he was tired and sore so I just left him alone. Such a great actor.

I also had the pleasure of seeing Dennehey act in Chicago. He was an amazing actor, and by all accounts, a good person. RIP.

weme06 Infinite ammo mode hahahaha

Me so horney!!

Girl/ Rambo.... you take me... You take me with you? Yeah? To America? Rambo/ sniffs..yeah... yeah yeah.

Don't forget the final shot when he does run out of ammo. Basically a grenade on an arrow head.

Yeah

1bottlejackdaniels Back when the world had balls.

PG-13 was created in the 80's dumbass.

"Still in the closest confirmed"

Dash dot dot True, but compare Red Dawn (one of the first PG13 movies) and the remake. Same rating but the remake was far more toned down. Obviously something has gone wrong with the PG13 rating over the years.

Dash dot dot I don't think that he said that pg-13 hadn't been invented, just that it hadn't become the studios' first rule to follow for creating big action movies.

Are you kidding? This is a classic. Up there with the best.

Wise Guy4U did u even read my comment? I know its a classic

Agreed. I would say First Blood, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and T2 are equal in quality.

I think that it's reputation was tarnished by the sequels. The Terminator and Die Hard had good follow ups whereas this film did not.

had a potential employer freak out because i told him i only sleep 3-5 hours a night since deployments... he couldnt wrap his head around the concept

It could just be alot of vets are ego tripping assholes and no one wants to be around them. Prideful people are a pain in the ass.

Also, it depends on the timeframe. The guys coming back from Vietnam were treated like shit. But the guys I know that served in the past 10 years post 9/11 are treated like heroes everywhere.

That's why I never understood voluntarily becoming one. I grew up in the mid 70s and 80s and nope, wasn't interested in selling my soul to a government I didn't believe in to fight wars I had no personal stake in.

That's why some special forces, army ranger types end up working for the state department or DOD.

Or that little banter/interaction Rambo and Trautman have in Rambo 3 when after Rambo is injured and Trautman asks " Does it hurt?" R: " You taught us to ignore pain, right ?" T: "Does it work?" R: " Not really...". frigging hilarious.

What you choose to call hell... he calls home

Mario Dumancic I remember having a bunch of toy versions of it as a kid.

What about the headband?

Popular? I would have thought Teasle'd be more ticked cause Rambo was a reminder of a war we lost.

@@JnEricsonx The Vietnam war was more recent so it was more popular at the time. It was still very much in the public mindset

wstine79 my EXACT thoughts.

😂😂😂

He stuck his head one too many times in a bull...

3 years later and it’s still funny...

Actually Rocky sequels was not AS BAD as Rambo ones (except a mister T one

But they certainly became ludicrous. Remember the robot in the Dolph Lundgren one?

+WJZAV -- Rocky and Rambo are kinda headed back the other way now: As of "Creed", Rocky is a punchy and near-penniless restaurant owner living off his old tales and *(spoilers)* which is even worse. As of "John Rambo", the guy is a mentally unstable war junkie paddling around Southeast Asia in a secondhand riverboat who only feels like himself when an ongoing genocide is a weekend trip away. Frankly, I mark Stallone's low point as a scriptwriter somewhere between 1986 and 2001. "Cobra" told him he could get away with anything until "Get Carter" and "Driven" brought him back to reality. I keep finding myself shocked how good a scriptwriter he is when there's someone there to beat him over the head with a badminton racquet every time he starts acting like a prima donna. Where was that guy on the set of "Judge Dredd"?

Yes, the last entries of Rambo and Rocky were surprisingly good. Rocky Balboa was great, Rambo of course not on par with first blood but still good and Creed was again a very good movie (though Stallone didn't direct or write it).

In fairness, Rocky has lost most of his sight in one eye and has suffered brain damage

Jarno Pesonen I see it on betamax haha

Yes, like he told Ko in Rambo 2, he's expendable. Even though later she tells him later that he's not

"He's a Vietnam Vet" ok... "Green Beret".. hmm well's thats impressive "CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR" HOLY SHIT HE WILL KILLS US ALL!!!

Alien and Aliens is a good comparison.

Funny you mention that, cause James Cameron wrote Part II between The Terminator and Aliens!

Not really. First Blood Part 2 is just a ridiculous action film with better set pieces that are all meaningless and hollow. As an action film, it's just generic. All the action scenes bore me mainly because you get that feeling Rambo is never in danger and can still overcome them despite the odds. Meanwhile in First Blood 1, every action scene feels meaningful and intense as you get that feeling Rambo is treading on thin ice and seems like he could die at any moment

They're wrong.

If they were referring to Rambo surviving, I think that they were absolutely right about criticizing that. I think his death would have a made a much bigger impact, and to movie seems to build up to it. That said I do not dislike the ending.

Malafakka If Rambo is symbolic of the Vietnam war then him dying would dilute it. That says the Vietnam war is over and America can move on. Rambo living means America still has to deal with the consequences of the war and in ‘82 when the movie came out Vets were still being treated poorly so the movie was making a great and true point.

crazymaner2003 I don't agree, but you are making a good statement.

It wasn't a typical 80's action film, It didn't show the typical good feeling ending that the hero had won etc, to me Rambo's ending was perfect..

You still got that lunchbox?

I actually do..at least I know where the thermos is

Ben Davis God would have mercy....he won't.

All of Trautmans lines are so freaking quotable

Just remember one thing a good number of body bags

Suppy... a good supply of body bags.....

" You're the disease; I'm the Cure."

Haha yeah, was just thinking about "Cobra" before reading your comment. "Hey dirtbag..." 😆👍
