Rambo: First Blood II

I've been listening to the Re-watchables podcast.  They did a series on 80's and 90's action movies - the birth , adolescence and evolution of the modern action film.  After listening, I was compelled to re-watch Predator, Commando, Terminator, Die Hard, Aliens, and Rambo - the Godfather of 80's/90's action films.  

First, who knew that Rambo was a sequel - not this 13 year-old kid.  Second, do you know the secret to Stallone's success? Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Consonant, Vowel.

Rocky
Rambo
Cobra
"Judge" Dredd and
"Tango" and Cash 

First Blood was good.  35 years after its release, Rambo is now a parody of itself - but still a lot of fun. 




“I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!”
