arguably (prove me wrong!) one of stallones best movies.

the entire subsequent rambo franchise feels like a farce compared to the original… they dont even feel part of the same universe.

gritty… realistic without being over the top (remember that one?!). a good movie makes you feel, and this movie makes me so angry. the revenge is almost justified.

being the early 80s the political fallout of vietnam was still hot on everyones minds. ostracized vets a serious reality.

the small town redneck sheriff always makes for a great villain. that ignorant evil is a valid antagonist even today. brian dennehy was amazing. you just want to punch him in the face. if you look close you can spot a baby faced david caruso.

so what do you peeps think of this masterpiece?

    What do you think of the original ending - where Troutman kills Rambo?

    I almost feel like it would have been a more fitting end the character.

      whatchootalkinbout?! is that on video somewhere or just from the book?!

      i would love that ending. the whole movie is him being the last of his kind. that ending would be bleak, but appropriate… wrapping up the entire debacle. im not sure if im referring to the the movie or the war.
