      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.”

        Watch First Blood again. It’s a classic for a reason.

          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.
