The first three Rambos starring Sylvester Stalone!!
RAMBO 1: FRIST BLOOD(1982):
This is quite a disturbing movie, with Stallone playing
a Vietnam Vet that gets hassled by local cops who push
him to violence just to survive! One of Stallone's best
movies! A
A review from Amazon:
"First Blood" (1982) is a great picture. Saw it 5 or six
times, most of them when i was 10-15 years old, i
owned a VHS. Now revisiting after 13 years, i found
one interesting aspect of this picture. Althrough "Rambo"
associates with action, physical force and weapons,
"First Blood" isn't about the action at all. Action in
this movie is never forced, it is logical consequence
of the actions. Later movies became super action
flicks, but this was always more about the
character - it's actually a superb character study.
Sylvester Stallone shines in one of his best acting
works, creating unforgettable character. 32 years
have past since this movie saw a day light, and it
still looks great and most important feels real. And
the ending - still one of the most powerful speeches
in cinema, Stallone is absolutely brilliant in there. - 851222

torn Vietnam, and those who were left behind!
A good follow-up to the first movie! A-
A review from IMDb.com:
Rambo: First Blood Part II, is, like the title says,
the best out of the series! In this movie, we revisit
the Vietnam veteran Rambo, who has been offered
to be released from prison as long as he would gather
intelligence on captured P.O.W's in a Vietnam camp.
Later on, Rambo decides to take matters into his own
hands and was betrayed by an American high official.
Along with a beautiful Taiwan contact, Rambo fights
the brutal Russians that sides with the Vietnamese
and the Vietnamese themselves. This flick is packed
with explosions and intense adrenaline-pumping
action, you won't be disappointed! I strongly urge
you to watch this film! -Anarchy7451

More of the same, 'cept this time it's in Afghanistan!
Rambo's buddy Col. Troutman asks for help to stop
the genocide going on there, and he refuses, so Col.
Troutman goes on his own and gets captured! So
Rambo decides it's up to him! A-
(An aside here; This has a VERY good extra on it
about Afghanistan!! Really a must watch!!!)
A review from IMDb.com:
Retired American commando John Rambo, now
living in Thailand, sets out on yet another mission
to rescue his only trusted friend Col Trautmann as
the latter is captured by Russian forces invading
Afghanistan when he tries to fight them off the
land all by himself, when Rambo refuses to go on
a mission with him. Rambo is assisted by the local
Afghans and Pakistanis, to do all they can to rescue
the colonel and the land from the ruthless Russians.
This film is more intense than its 2 predecessors ,
in terms of dialogue delivery, violence, effects,
etc. Too bad it was Richard Crenna's last Rambo
film-I had hoped he'd be in Rambo 4 too. Sylvester
plays his part well as the courageous, confident
and efficient Rambo. - varghesejunior
