If you want to go on a Rambo history deep dive... the author of First Blood- a guy named David Morell did a great dvd commentary which inspired me to read the book! He is obsessed with the idea that HE INVENTED Rambo, a major pop culture icon! Only seen before in Sherlock Holmes and James Bond (strictly talking about book-form literature— not comic books). But the joke is on him because his Rambo is not even the same as Stallone’s version of Rambo. In the book, Rambo kills more people including the sheriff; and Colonel Troutman in-turn kills Rambo (his own creation!) An alternate ending was filmed that follows the book this way but it was decided that Rambo is better as a hero not a villain

Great reaction! :) This was my first time watching this one all of the way through. I think that I watched bits and pieces over the years but obviously not the whole thing. Glad that you enjoyed this one! :)

The first appearance of the punisher was in 1974 and he was a Spiderman villain. I wonder if they got the idea of Rambo from that, or they came about simultaneously 🤔 the First Blood book was “old” and the movie didn’t get made until the 80s

Lol you know the Russians are in trouble when Rambo has that angry stare 😂😂

GAWD I should've known he was going to be a bad guy in this! I loved Karate Kid and the Cobra Kai show so I instantly recognized him lol. Wow I did not know that!

He’s a bad guy in karate kid so you know he’s a bad guy here too, right? ha ha. He’s probably supposed to be a crazy Vietnam vet in karate kid as well. Did you know that the punisher is supposed to be a crazy Vietnam vet? but because of the timeline, they have to keep changing it because he’d be like 70 or 80 years old
