this movie should've been called "Home Stallone"

The last Rambo ended perfectly, with him walking the long road to his farm.

The main thing I didn't like about it was that they killed off his daughter. Stupid to have a movie that shows he's finally gained some peace, only to steal it away and create a depressing ending for him.

I’ve watched this video about 4 times now and the line “then Gabriella gets bored and dies” cracks me up EVERY. TIME.

Rambo: Home Alone with Military Characteristics

John Rambo had the ideal ending. Him walking towards the farm told us everything without words: The war is over.

“A guy played by Sylvester Stallone who calls himself Rambo” made me laugh for ten minutes. The line kept coming back to me, funnier and funnier every time.

Moral of this story. Every story has its time. No sequels or reboots will ever eclipse the success and momentum of the originals.

The next Rambo movie will be.... Rambo: Nursing Home “Old Blood can still bleed”

I'm an 80's kid that grew up watching rated R movies like rambo, terminator, and predator. We had bottle rocket wars, rode bikes until dark, and punched each other in the stomach for fun. AND I'M A GIRL.

The jab at Sarah Silverman was funnier than anything that's ever come out of her mouth.

I was honestly thinking part of Rambo: Last Blood would have him struggling to activate his VA benefits after living off the grid in Burma for so long.

"He got himself killed in Nam and didn't even know it."

He built the tunnels as a coping mechanism with his PTSD. He's much more sociable and functional at the start to represent how much of a crutch Gabriella and her grandma are for him. They were his shot have having the closest thing to a normal life.

One of the funniest movie moments of my life was in Ireland in the early 2000's. On vacation with my family, up late one night my brother and I caught them running Rambo 3. The intro by the network announcer started the movie saying, (insert Brogue) " Up next, Rambo 3, the Americans arm the Taliban to fight off the Russians to stop the oppression of their homeland and religion. Oops, that works out well... enjoy the film." I laughed till I nearly puked up the Czech vodka we bought at the Aldi.

Can't wait for Disney to buy the franchise and the eventual remake, just to hear The Drinker's critique

The main bad guy looked like a Mexican Jon Snow in the final battle. Juan Snow!

The only redeeming thing about the film it sounds like is at least it was John not Jane Rambo

I recently rewatched the first rambo. Such a somber film that actually had me tearing up at the end. I forgot how heart jerking it was.

I was absolutely in love with the movie until I see Rambo, yeah THE John Rambo, simply walking in on that neighborhood like a fucking moron. I literally started laughing like, seriously? No recon? Nothing? Not even taking a firearm with him, really? He even says it himself in the movie that he knows "how black a man's heart can be, he's seen it". Well?? I mean, any person with a little common sense wouldn't even dare thinking about going in a place like that but no... Not him. He's a decorated special forces war hero, that survived alone in a forest for days, while 30 cops were chasing and trying to kill him. Then after a while he took on a mission to infiltrate enemy camps undetected, to save some prisoners, which unfortunately turned out to be an all out warzone but he accomplished and survived the mission anyway. Then after that, he went to Afghanistan and let's just say that in the end this guy fought and blew a fucking gunship with a bow. Oh, and let's not forget about mowing down an entire army with a mounted .50 cal, rescuing some prisoners too, a decade or so later. Damn! This guy's got something right? Then he literally just hands himself in to the guys that took his "daugher". Wow, nice.

"A journalist who doesn't do any journalism..." Oh, well at least that part is realistic.

“I take no joy in this” Me when Tracy takes her clothes off

Poor Drinker. I can hear the pain in his voice. This one really got to him.

Damn, that go away now was so angry, I went away now immediately.

"Gabriela gets bored and dies" Man this made me laugh xD

It's watchable. As revenge movie. As horror-gore-splatter movie is even satisfing. As action movie is not consistent because it doesn't have a decent rythm until the last 20 minutes.

It really makes me sad that people who were so young and vital when I was growing up suddenly seem old. It is an uncomfortable reminder of my own advancing age and I hate it. I want everyone to be young forever 😭

Here's how I would have liked Last Blood to have gone, especially after the short but awesome flashback scene in the tunnels. Rambo, who's age has caught up to him, decides to finally talk about what he experienced in Vietnam. A different actor would play the younger version of Rambo during the war, while Stallone provides narration/tells his story. It couldn't have been any worse than what we got.

It wasn't a bad movie. It just didn't feel like a Rambo movie.. The last half hour of the movie felt like A violent version of Home Alone

"She gets bored and dies..." LOLLLLLL I lost it...hahaha

"So anyway Gabriella gets bored and dies"

Just edit the film so he is called Kevin Maccallister. All problems solved.

Why'd they make this film after the fourth installment was a worthy ending of the character? *DON'T KNOW!*

When he just walked into the Mexican gangs territory I had lost respect for this film. There is no way Rambo would just walk in. Really really stupid and I’m disappointed.

"Rambo imposter" cracks me down everytime he's says it lol 🤣

Personally I would love to see a movie where Rambo kicks ass at a nursing home for old people.

Watch Rambo last blood then watch Shane Black's The Predator and tell me last blood is still a bad movie.

- Boss, I have the script for taken 4. - But Liam Nielsen doesn't want to make them anymore. Says he's too old. - Too old? That gives me an idea.

He going to have a hard time explaining what all these dead bodies are doing all over his farm.

"But anyway, Gabriella gets bored and dies." I'm still laughing, five minutes later. You are the hero I never knew I needed, Drinker!

"Gabriela gets bored and dies." Holy shit you are a genius!!!!

In building a bunch of tunnels, has he become the Viet Cong he mercilessly vaporised in his misspent youth?

Watching Richard Crenna and Brian Dennehey compete in a scenery eating contest made the first Rambo fun.

"Gabrielle gets bored and dies" epic

"Kids were hardcore back in the 80s man" - Yes they were, i watched Robocop in 1987 at 7 years old and didnt go crying / nightmares when i saw the hand being blown apart scene, it was normal to watch 18 movies as a kid back then.

I agree with almost everything you say, except for the part where you refer to him suddenly becoming talkative, after years of relative silence. My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge (WW2). He refused to talk about much of anything regarding his military service, or much of anything else, during most of his life. During the last 15 years of his life, however, he began to open up. Perhaps it was because he knew his time on this earth was limited. Maybe it was because dementia was beginning to take hold. But we actually conducted several interviews with him towards the end of his life (and filmed them) for posterity. What he shared with us is more than what I was prepared for. He never played up his part in anything, but the horror of what he experienced was really more than I expected. He never said any of this, at any point, prior to his agreement to share this with us. His detailed descriptions of "the trees that didn't have branches anymore because they'd been burned away", and "the houses that still had a shape, but that you couldn't tell why they were built" still ring with me. A veteran that chooses to open up, eventually, isn't inconsistent. My grandfather didn't choose to open up to us and become an actual person we could talk to until 60 years after his wartime experience. If Rambo didn't open up until just now, that seems right about on schedule.

2:10 This aged even worse now

They’ve shown “First Blood” a bunch of times recently on Showtime. I’ve watched it about 5 times in the past two weeks. Such a great movie and is so unlike every other Rambo

He read his script and was like “nah, et’ll be fine.”

So it’s Rambo: Home Alone

This movie is just Batman: Death in the Family just with Rambo.

_First Blood_ is my favorite Rambo movie. It's not an over-the-top killfest and the somewhat depressing tone lets you know it doesn't revel in the violence it does have.

“Ooooh, that didn’t age well...”

"Gets bored and dies" lmao

Rambo is such a good franchise. Shame they didn't make a 5th one

LOL!! I die every time he says, "Rambo Imposter."

"Oh, that didn't age well." Remember that time James Bond helped Osama Bin Laden out of prison and started a revolution that led to the fall of the USSR?

At least Stallone wasn't trying to relive his porn days....

"The Rambo impostor" 😂😂

"Anyway, Gabriela gets bored and dies" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

''I take no joy in this'' Me when I wake up in the morning

Adding that old yeller death scene was top shelf golden humor I was rolling with hardy gut laughter I’m still giggling at it thanks

Man I feel really bad that this had to exist, I never thought I'd say a rambo movie sucked,feels like blasphemy,these r truly dark times

9:29 "But anyway, Gabriella gets bored and dies.." 😂

Rambo: A story about a Vietnam veteran struggling to come back into civilian life. Ends with John having a complete breakdown about the friends that he lost. What everyone thinks Rambo is: GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! WARRRRR!

"Gabriela gets bored and dies...." Did.... did I hear that right?

The fact Gabby basically gets abandoned twice by her Father, then raped and drugged to death really makes me wonder if someone hated her actress on a personal level.

Your Videos are pretty much more entertaining than most movies coming into cinemas

I’m betting there’ll be a “Rambo: New Blood” when Rambo trains someone new...Already has been done with Rocky and Creed

I can think of a reason Rambo built the tunnels in only two words - "Doomsday Prepper". Those are the kind of people who would definitely do that and and a PTSD war vet is certainly plausible to be a doomsday prepper.

Sadly if I remember correctly Stallone wanted to make this version of Rambo for some time. If memory serves correctly I first heard about Rambo faces the drug cartels before the turn of the century. I honestly believe the addition of the title Last Blood was just a marketing ploy. The saddest part is you're right. It wanted to have the same kind of impact as the original movie. But it went above and beyond failing. For an exercise watch the final scene with Troutman and Rambo in the first movie. Amazingly it showed something in too many cases Stallone never lived up to, a guy that could really act. The pain his character showed in that moment was beyond visceral. It showed a man who had lost everyone he ever loved. Only to come home and find out that the country he had done it for found him less than worthless. It literally took all of the action that had occurred and gave it a very clear context. This movie just expected you care. To quote our reviewer, "Why, Don't know!" It never once gave me a reason to feel invested in any of them. Even the "so called hero" was so vague that he could have been literally any family man. Love them or hate them the Rambo movies always sold mainly on one thing. The main character John J. Rambo. Oh the action was great. But, it was that deeply wounded soul that kept you riveted to the story. This man who was literally the walking wounded, who simply would not give up and die. I've got to agree with ya that character never showed up here. Ya know all those monologues he did, well ya mite even have used one of them to transition us to the current day. Something along the lines of a deeply wounded John looking to heal came home to these people that slowly helped him to some extent find his way home. You could have probably done the same with some additional scenes. The point is it would have made "the new Rambo" at least make some sense. It would also have done allot to create a investment in the supporting characters. Hell it would have even made the one characters death a very believable catalyst for the at least partial return the character we had seen so many times before. Instead we got something that could have been called "pseudo family man gets pissed the movie." At least Willis has Alimony to Demi as a excuse why he has to keep making the oh so forgettable movies he's making. Stallone just ends up feeling like a desperate older guy that just can't get the world has moved on without him. If this had even been made it the franchise's hey day it would have been a flop. Which says allot considering how hard it jumped the frigging shark in it's prime. It makes ya feel bad in some ways for him. Instead of gracefully walking away with a legacy as both an actor and a writer that would have well outlived him. He took a hard dump on it himself, just to get a few more minutes of screen time. Even sadder is by all accounts Stallone is supposed to actually be a very smart man. Just goes to prove in smart people can do really stupid things.

Why didn’t they have Rambo abducted by aliens who start surgically altering him and he escapes and kills them all and the whole time the audience is cheering him on, only, it turns out these aliens where enhancing him to defend earth against the real bad-guy aliens and the movie ends with John Rambo standing on a pile of dead aliens he just murdered when, suddenly the earth, sun, and moon are eclipsed as the bad alien mothership readies itself for invasion.

Honestly, despite how awful some of the acting and the story were, the second half of the movie really made up with its brutal kills and it did get me tear up a bit. So yeah, I didn't expect the movie to have much substance to the story, but I still got a kick out of the movie.

Aside from the name, this movie didn’t have anything to do with Rambo. Even the bad guys never heard of Rambo. In the Rambo universe everyone should know who Rambo is... or was

This movie works if you think of it as the dreams of an aging Rambo as he sits in a rocking chair in a retirement home, daydreaming about what he would be doing if his body wasn’t broken from a lifetime of being a soldier.

Loved this movie. 🤷‍♂️ He's always fun to watch even with bad movies.

"Kids were hardcore back in the 80's, man." Yes we were

"But then a kindly plot device shows up..." Gotta hand it to you, Drinker, you suave, understated mogul of deconstruction, you.

Yes we kids of the '80s were indeed hard core

In order to avoid being labelled as a rip-off of Taken, they had to change a few things; the hero has to get defeated at his first encounter with the kidnappers, and the girl he saved had to end up dying.

"Journalist Lady" Looks more like Rambo than Rambo.

The last of the Rambo series: "Coagulated Blood."

I first saw Last Blood part 3 in 2009. When i saw that last message, i laughed hysterically & said "That did NOT age well."

You had to show Old Yeller. A movie scene that scarred me for life as a child.

That was the angriest "Go away now" of all the episodes I've watched thus far. You can really taste the pain and resentment.

That "Go away now" was a lot harsher than normal. That movie upset you that much, huh? :(

I'm just waiting for Rambo: Retired Blood.

The movie was perfectly fine... wasn't amazing,but good. The struggle never ends for someone who refuses to stay passive.

It sounds like he was writing another Expendables script but Statham and his buddies didn't show up for filming so at the last minute he changed the title to 'Rambo'.

And: "Gabriela gets bored and dies." LMAO

I thought the Mexican housekeeper was going to show up at the end and start nursing him back to health. That would have given her character a decent story. It would also explain how Rambo lives through the damage he took and was able to make another movie in a few years.

An injustice was perforned. Retribution was enacted, custom knives were used, lots of scum died. Sounds like a Rambo move to me.

"The Rambo Imposter" was the working title of the movie.

I liked it . It was extremely similar to the Taken movies . If Liam Nesson had PTSD and suffered several strokes

"Gabriella gets bored and dies" had me smiling. And while I will say the movie definitely deserved to be more and have more. The part where she dies and he's trying to console her before she does had me sad. I feel like his acting chops had definitely increased over the years. And i see that in "creed" where his character also gets me emotional a few times. If I see Stallone feeling it. I feel it. I just liked the moment is all.

Nah, it had it's moments, I was entertained. The character was 69 according to his driver's license, I never expected him to be a Green Beret in his prime again. Some of the dialogue was silly and clichéd, but I wasn't expecting too many mind-blowing lines. The old woman and the journalist were bad characters, but I suspect, that some of their scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. The old woman could've stuck around for the firefight (maybe pick off a few cartel members from afar with a scoped rifle or something, showing her to be a good marksman, as many red state ladies are) or brought help from the town. It could've been a nice twist on the plot of the first movie: Rambo fights cop VS cops fight on Rambo's side. About the villains: LiveLeak or any dime a dozen gore site is full of cartel execution videos. These dudes were bronies compared to the real deal. And First Blood (the movie) was not dumb, that last scene with Trautman was incredible, it made many a man shed a tear. I'm not American, but I know what Nam vets went through when they returned. Even wheelchair-bound double amputees were verbally abused, spat on and called baby killers by filthy, Fifth Column hippies carrying Viet Cong flags. The South Vietnamese refugees were abused as well. The novel, where the raging Rambo kills indiscriminately before being shot in the back of the head by his former commander, is shallower.
