All know that Rocky Balboa And Johnon Rambo (fictional characters who started two of the most iconic film franchises of all time) made Sylvester Stallone's career. But that was the second that really turned it into one of the biggest action stars of the 80's and 90's, and at the end of Hollywood. In 1982, the "first blood" hit as lightning, making over $ 125 million at the box office with a minus $ 15 million budget. To this day - today, it features one of the best performances ever delivered, relying mainly on body action and meager dialogue - most of which are said to the decent final Because the protagonist is revealed in an emotional breakdown caused by PTSD. It's no secret he fought for something The original end (in which his image commits suicide) Let's replace it with the one we eventually saw in the latest version of the film. He talked about it dozens of times and would not shock anyone who was extremely proud of that film and what happened to it.

Given that, it is a little surprising that he named "Rambo" in 2008 (the fourth installment of the series) as the best action movie he has so far made and is most proud. In a 2022 Interview with the Hollywood reportersaid the actor,

"A movie I'm really proud of - it's the best action movie I've ever made because it's the most - it's" Rambo IV ", dealing with Burma, where they had a civil war for 67 years. But I equalized because the film was so violent. And it's forcibly.

I said a little Surprisingly because Rambo can be Stallone's most appropriate action film he wrote, and starred. The film is selected 20 years after the events of Rambo III, with our hero living a lonely life in Thailand, catching snakes and giving people a boat rides to make a living. But deeply, he is still the same killing machine and a broken man we met in the original film. After initial unwillingness, he agrees to take a group of missionary doctors on a humanitarian mission in Burma, where the Saffron revolution is still at large, and the Burmese army ruthlessly rules over the country and its people with an iron fist. It will not last long until Rambo and the group first meet them, and the massacre begins.

Rambo is relentlessly violent and joyful, but it is also one of those cases where the uncompromising and serious portrait actually serves the story the film aims to tell. Of course, that approach also gives sly another chance to demonstrate what did the best in all previous films: slaughtering bad with guns and arrows, climbing the esophagus with bare hands and delivering Badasi lines like "live for nothing, or die for something, your call", with huge gravity. It is a competently made mid -budget ($ 50 million) action film that has managed to revitalize the gasoline franchise. Surprisingly, most critics hated him at the time (loosing her bare bones and excessive violence), but the audience ate it as fresh and delicious meat. In a retrospective, it's The only sequel that approached the level of the first movieEven if it was a little tough political. If you ask me, this is where the series was supposed to end instead of the crime that "Rambo: Last Blood" became 11 years later.
