That bomb that Rambo exploded, was actually used by the Brits. It was officially called the "tall boy", but also known as the "earthquake bomb. It weighed 20,000 lbs and was used famously to sink the German battleship Tirpitz. The bomb's didn't hit the ship, but the concussive force tore open the hall of that ship and she capsized. For land targets, the fuse was set to ignite the explosive after it burrowed approximately 20 feet deep and destroyed the target by seismic action, hence the nickname "The earthquake bomb". Only a modified British Lancaster Bomber was capable of carrying this thing. It remained the largest non-nuclear destructive device until the US fielded the M.O.A.B.
Hell yes. Probably the most hyped I've ever been as soon as his face came up in the preview. Pretty sure it was the scene where he appeared behind Captain Intestines.
@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 why would they? Apart from some celebrity from when he shot up a town decades ago, he wasn't famous except to those who knew him, and since getting out of jail, when not being an embarrassment to the government each time they use him, he has lived with monks in Thailand or wrangled snakes in some backwater or other.
As a former abrams tank commander, that footage with the 50 caliber tearing through bodies is pretty close to accurate. I've used it against numerous vehicle during my time in Iraq and it left holes the size of grapefruit even in the engine block, you can only imagine what it would do to a body. The only thing I find unrealistic is that it never jammed once while firing with trigger down (its a movie of course) the 50 cal is a notoriously moody weapon at full auto.
I remember asking a friend of mine who'd been in Afghanistan or Iraq, I forget which-just glad he didn't get hurt save for someone backing a truck onto his shoulder, and during the 50 scene I asked, "Is that legit?" He just nodded once.
This movie is a lot more darker and violent than the other films in the series. The film was a box office success, making $113 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget. When I saw the teaser poster at a movie theater, my jaw dropped and I said, "Dude, he's back!" It was controversial as the film was banned in Burma for it's negative portrayal of the Asian government. They premiered the movie at San Diego Comic Con and the producer told the audience that the Director's Cut will be available in 2009.
The DVD had a mini series where Stallone explains that the movie wasn't even as bad as it really was but he wanted to show as much as he could so people know what was going on there.
Sylvester Stallone wanted this movie to show the real atrocities that happened in places like Burma and other countries like it. He wanted it to be brutal and not have war glorified. To show just how bad some of these people had it. Hopefully we can all feel more grateful where we live, even if it isn't perfect and there's problems
I remember watching the Dvd feature where Stallone was trying to write a story that was relevant and saw something on the news about Burma and the horrors that were still happening. This movie HAD to be dark and terrible because of the things that are taking place. Interesting fact is that main baddie was played by a former Karen Rebel who risked his life to raise awareness about what's going on.
The main bad guy was actually a Karen Freedom Fighter who agreed to do the part and sadly his family were taken prisoner by the Burmese government when they found out he was in this movie. This war has been going for over seventy years now.
This Rambo film & First Blood, are my personal 2 favorites of the series!! And that Browning 50 Cal Machine Gun Turret scene.....GET SUM BABY!!!! Seriously Sylvester Stallone said "Might as well be truthful, to show what & how 50 Cal does to a human body at point blank range."
"What were these mercenaries thinking.... Could they not do a Google Search?" - EXACTLY and Samantha going into gore shock while TBR is giving the play-by-play was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
This film has the most realistic depiction of combat violence I had ever seen in any film up to this point. It's not like in the old movies, they fall down, a little blood maybe. No high-powered rounds do incredible damage to human bodies. I've seen it.
There's a lot of truth in this film. It was almost rated NC-17. Quentin Tarantino said this was a masterpiece that would have won Oscars if it was made by someone we never heard of. A lot of people don't wanna see Stallone succeed. Stallone said he wanted to make an action film with consequences. In other words instead of the "happy killings" we are used to, this is a film about how we deal with life as much as death. Much of the footage in the beginning is REAL.
This might sound odd but i would seriously recommend watching the making of documentary for this film, i think it's longer than the movie but it gives so much more context to everything.
Last blood was a mixed bag, it had 3 different movies in it, they had all they needed to finish the franchise perfectly but they fucked up, not knowing if they want to kill Rambo off or not, if they want to do a Rambo 2-3 style film or Rambo 1 and 4. It was a mess tonally. Few GREAT moments, Sly GREAT as always, but they fucked up.
Tallboy was one of the biggest conventional bombs of the war, carrying 5,200lbs of explosives and requiring a modified Lancaster bomber. Bigger was the Grand Slam, which was so ubiquitous that when the atomic bomb was announced to the public, its power was compared to 2,000 Grand Slam bombs to put it into context for people at the time.
I believe the Karen rebels actually used the "Live for nothing or die for something" as their motto. And if you guys are into Mortal Kombat, they got Rambo in 11. Not only did they get Stallone to voice him, they also got that throat rip as a fatality for him.
I knew you'd love this one Dan...hope it wasn't too much for Sam; bless her heart, and I hope she's feeling better (after last night). I think y'all missed it but there's a quick-shot of First Blood's originally filmed ending, included within that montage dream sequence...where the Colonel actually shot-and-killed Rambo!
Rambo Part lll was already considered brutal and then this one pushed it even further. They included that throat rip as a fatality in Mortal Kombat 11 for him (he was a guest character in that game).
That Gun that "Skool-Boy" uses is called The Barret M107 SNIPER RIFLE it's the same rifle that the late Chris Kile used during the war in Iraq..... The only gun able to fire a 50 caliber round....
By far my fav. Rambo he was done with all bullshit imo and also bringing back the best line "live for nothing or die for something" Edit: Also "killing is easy as breathing" was a good one
"When you're pushed, killing is easy as breathing" and then you see the Christian aidworker going at one of the soldiers with a rock. A murder as old as mankind itself.
I love the meme from this movie. They took the shot of Rambo on the 50 cal gun and painted out the gun, so Rambo looks like he is giving an aggressive two thumbs up.
@@shady_the_one I'm sure it's easy to find. There's another version where they painted a camera in his hands and he's agressively photographing a butterfly.
Was an 0331(Machine gunner) in the Marine Corps and I can attest that the scenes with the Ma Deuce were accurate except for two things. It didn't constantly jam and even rounds as big as .50 won't send someone flying like that. Everything else is realistic though, from tearing limbs off of people to punching fist sized holes in vehicles to ripping people in half. There was only one weapon I handled that was more destructive and that was the Mk 19, which is literally a belt fed 40mm grenade machine gun.
I wish Stallone had stopped the Rambo series with this one. I really liked the symbolism of Rambo returning home, after finally finding a sort of inner peace and acceptance of letting go of the past. First Blood was showing Rambo wandering the country, unwilling to go home. Here he does go home. That's how I would have wrapped up his character.
despite the over the top gore of this movie, it's probably the most realistic depiction of the violence of war, kinda like what we got with the D-Day intro to Saving Private Ryan.
Here we go!!!!! It always felt a bit like "ok, what if we just shoot Rambo 2 again, but dial it up to 200?", but it never bothered me. Its the full embracement of the over the top action - vicious, raw and unapologetic. A lot of people disliked it because of the violence, in my country the uncut version is banned because of it, but I liked it, because it was not littered with one-liners or showed how much fun it is to kill people. You rarely go "yeah, cool!!" in this movie, you are appalled and speechless by the "reality" of war. And it was nice to see how involved Stallone was with everything: actor, writer, director and closely involved with the developement of the soundtrack.
The atrocities and genocides made by Burma(my country) soldiers that appeared in this movie is still happening in Burma today.But people are fighting back this tyranny and giving their lives everyday for freedom and democracy. Love the reaction btw ❤️
FINALLY Y GUYS ARE WATCHING RAMBO 4. IT TOOK 20 YEARS TO MAKE THE 4TH FILM CAUSE THE LAST ONE WAS PART 3 FROM 1988. NOTHING IS OVER!!!!!!!!🔥🔥👏 RAMBO IS THE FUCKING BOSS😎
Here's something worth knowing. The actor Maung Maung Khin, playing the main villain is a real life resistance fighter in Burma. He was cast because Stallone liked his life story and Khin himself wanted to raise awareness about the Civil war and the government's atrocities. And he did that by playing a composite of some of the most despicable human beings he's encountered in his own life.
Rambo: Last Blood had 2 theatrical versions. In Australia we had the longer version that has a 10 minute opening scene. The USA never got this version. It would be to your benefit if you were able to react to the longer version.
Aloha love your reaction I’m a ex marine Vietnam era thanks for your your respect appreciate that much respect to your country too love it’s what is stay in good spirits and and best of health keep the faith be safe ciaos
This and Rocky Balboa helped resurrect Sylvester Stallone's career. This used real news footage and was filmed in different parts of Myanmar/Burma. The lead missionary played the main priest in The Sopranos
Pretty sure it was filmed in Chang Mai, Thailand. Why would the Burmese Junta allow a movie being filmed in Burma about the Burmese Army massacring civilians?
'Schoolboy' (Matthew Marsden) was also in the Anaconda (1997) sequel Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), both of them are great monster fun but don't bother with next ones.🐛
When you guys get to the last one, make sure you watch the extended cut. The thing is that when the movie got released, the audience in the US and UK saw a shortened version for some reason, while the rest of the world saw a longer version in theaters. And when they released the longer version in the US and UK on DVD and Blu-Ray, they called it "the extended cut", while for the rest of the world, it is "the original cut". So the extended cut is the right one for you.
I thought that this movie and Rocky Balboa were both phenomenal movies that extended and built upon their original stories and demonstrated the character progression really well. Also, it demonstrates Stallone's growth both infront of and behind the camera. You'll really like the Expendables series for the mix of comedy/action and the cast is unbelievable. I think you'll really like Last Blood for a bunch of reasons and I'm really looking forward to it.
@@butkusfan23 the critics' opinion means nothing to me. 5000+ viewers giving 81/100 are FAR more trustworthy than 174 critics giving 26/100. Much more so because critics have been heavily biased against Stallone.
Been a Stallone and Rambo fan ever since I was a kid in the 80s. I watched this movie in theaters, opening weekend. I was suffering through some mental health issues at the time and just the adrenaline rush from this movie, especially the final action scene, helped me A LOT! lmao it sounds like a joke: Rambo Cured My Depression! But it KINDA did 🤣
I grew up in Burma during my teenage years. There was a boy my age (13 back then) that lived in my apartment. Every afternoon we would talk to each other from our balconies. One day I noticed that I hadn't seen him for months. It turns out that he was kidnapped by the army on the way back from school and sent to the jungle to be a mine sweeper with other 13 year olds. That's what the army does. They use children and make them march ahead of the army in case there's any mines.
Who cares. It's more entertainment...the tunnel scene might be a top Rambo scene. The movie isn't great, but it's your life, if you want 4 to be the 'end' then let it be for you...
A sniper's purpose is almost more psychological than numeric. After someone next to you has their head explode and you don't even know where it came from, it tends to remove your eagerness to move forward. Also, the mercenaries weren't prepared for what they are in for.
The reason why Stallone kept his shirt on the entire film was because he had gotten tattoos. This would have been a continuity error for Rambo, who lived in Thailand for 20 years after the events of Rambo 3, because no one in that country tattoos in that style (to my knowledge) of which Stallone got his.
This film ALMOST GOT AN NC17 rating for the children getting killed, but when Stallion told the producers this needed to be shown, they dropped it back to an R Rating.
I highly recommend you watch the director's cut. It extends a few conversations between Rambo and Sarah, giving both characters extra dimension. During the scene where Rambo forges a new knife, we hear the pastor saying a prayer for the missionaries, which I think is just as effective as the "killin's as easy as breathin'" monologue.
Immediately clicked! My favorite Rambo film and favorite action movie. So brutal and gory, has to be the goriest action movie ever! The last scene especially Once you do Rambo 5 you must do The Expendables series
@@TBRSchmitt Well...y'all have already gotten a taste of Dolph Lundgren with Rocky 4; if you want more with Him, I'd recommend Universal Soldier (with Van Damme) and maybe Masters of the Universe ('87). For Jason Statham...easily go with The Transporter, Crank or Death Race (2008). For Jet Li...try Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 the Grave and (of course) Lethal Weapon 4.
@@TBRSchmitt I would look at the cast list on Imdb. Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren among others. But you have basically seen the major action movies from the main guys, Arnold Sly and Bruce. Thing is the Expendables series keeps adding more action heros to the cast list, Chuck Norris in EX2, Mel Gibson in EX3 for example. But I’d just check Arnold’s and Sly’s IMDB and check for retro action hitters.

Another Sylvester Stallone movie you should check out is Lock Up. It wasn't a big hit but I think it's one of his better performances in one of his better movies. It also has Donald Sutherland as the warden.
“Did they not do a Google search?” At that time, getting a phone line, let alone an internet connection was hard to come by in areas such as Burma. Assuming these guys were operating for extended periods in such areas, they probably didn’t even know what a Google search was. As always, I love you guys and your reactions! I really hope Samantha wasn’t too traumatized by this one. Can’t wait for your reaction for Rambo Last Blood!
I think the biggest problem with Last Blood was that it followed this one and paled in comparison. It took a big chance by being almost completely different from all the others. Do watch the director's cut if possible.
Being from Az "Rambo" is my Arizona hero such a true Bad A$$ I started watching these young because of my dad. I always have a moment when he goes full circle and comes back home after like 30+years.
Saw this on opening night with a bunch of mates in Sydney. Cinema had about 40-50 people in it - all male, all in clumped groups of 5-10, all around our age (let's just say it's a safe bet we all grew up renting VHS). Shocked exclamations and a few cheers through the film, but once the final set piece kicked in, the room just became a cacophony of howling, hollering, laughing and chaos. Unlike US cinema audiences, Australian theatre experiences for the sot part are not like this at all. Essentially, everyone was just so taken aback by the sheer gratuity of it all that it was really the only way to deal. "Laugh through it now, process it all later", basically.
I feel the director's cut of this one would have been the better option. The cut dialog rambo has with Sarah in the boat before being convinced to take them was great. Didn't understand why it was removed and it showed that out of everyone in the group she did understand him better.
The final battle was inspired by Audi Murphy in WW2. “On January 26, 1945, 2nd Lieutenant Audie L. Murphy was commanding company B of the 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, near the French village of Holtzwihr when six German tanks and several hundred infantrymen attacked his company. Murphy ordered his men to fall back to defensive positions in nearby woods while he covered their withdrawal and called down artillery to slow the German advance. German fire hit an American tank destroyer nearby and set it on fire. Witnesses later recalled how he “climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy.” From Murphy’s exposed position on top of the burning tank destroyer, he killed over 20 German soldiers and repelled their attack. For more than an hour, Murphy continued to fire the machine gun, despite being wounded in the leg. He then led his company in a counterattack that killed or wounded 50 more German soldiers.” When asked why he did it he replied, “They were killing my friends”
This is my 2nd favorite Rambo movie after the original which will never be topped. I got to see this & the last one at the theaters. If they ever do a special screening of the first 3 I would be there
At 10:34 in this video, part of the flashback actually shows the original ending for the first movie, where Rambo uses Trautman's gun to shoot himself dead. It's a real "blink and you'll miss it" scene.
It’s crazy looking at this movie in juxtaposition with the previous three. The violence depicted is so visceral and realistic but ultimately necessary to show people how brutal and unforgiving this civil war is.
the quote from the director cut is impactful. when rambo talks about war. That we're like animals! It's in the blood! It's natural! Peace? That's an accident! It's what is! When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing. When the killing stops in one place, it starts in another, but that's okay... 'cause you're killing for your country. But it ain't your country who asks you, it's a few men up top who want it. Old men start it, young men fight it, nobody wins, everybody in the middle dies... and nobody tells the truth!
This is my country. It's the world's longest civil war. It's happening till this day. In 2007 in LA, I organized a protest to spread awareness for my country. I reached out to Sly's agent to see if he wanted to come by and show support and he actually came by! He's a great guy.
He did a lot of publicity about the regime in Myanmar at the time. So much so that the regime publicly criticized him.
Props to him

fun times repairing a 50 cal under fire
I remember asking a friend of mine who'd been in Afghanistan or Iraq, I forget which-just glad he didn't get hurt save for someone backing a truck onto his shoulder, and during the 50 scene I asked, "Is that legit?" He just nodded once.
So in real life, the 50 caliber jams while it doesn’t in fiction, right?
Hollywood should definitely take note on your comment.
AU here and was in Afghan for abit. Once or twice I saw a US Abrams roll in to deal with a hive or two. Wild shit to watch. 😎
This movie is a lot more darker and violent than the other films in the series.
The film was a box office success, making $113 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget.
When I saw the teaser poster at a movie theater, my jaw dropped and I said, "Dude, he's back!"
It was controversial as the film was banned in Burma for it's negative portrayal of the Asian government.
They premiered the movie at San Diego Comic Con and the producer told the audience that the Director's Cut will be available in 2009.
The DVD had a mini series where Stallone explains that the movie wasn't even as bad as it really was but he wanted to show as much as he could so people know what was going on there.
So, the movie barely broke even.
@@Kthomasritchie It did well enough to get a fifth film
@@Kthomasritchie Tbh a film like this was always gonna struggle to make alot, especially compared to Rocky
@@dylanburton4955 It got a sequel due to being part of a beloved franchise and because of Stallone.
They had used the original Rambo music by Jerry Goldsmith in some parts of the movie, with new music composed and conducted by Brian Tyler.
Sylvester Stallone wanted this movie to show the real atrocities that happened in places like Burma and other countries like it. He wanted it to be brutal and not have war glorified. To show just how bad some of these people had it. Hopefully we can all feel more grateful where we live, even if it isn't perfect and there's problems
I swear that point-blank annihilation of the driver remains one of the coolest deaths in action movie history.
Agreed
Pretty accurate too. A .50 cal will tear up anything.
@@charliegone1652 yes i think they were developed as anti aircraft munitions originally
Samantha goes into gore shock. TBR doing the play-by-play about all the guts and shit was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣 Won't let me edit my comment.
Yea it was. Plus the decapitation right beforehand. They go together like chocolate and peanut butter
I remember watching the Dvd feature where Stallone was trying to write a story that was relevant and saw something on the news about Burma and the horrors that were still happening. This movie HAD to be dark and terrible because of the things that are taking place. Interesting fact is that main baddie was played by a former Karen Rebel who risked his life to raise awareness about what's going on.
The main bad guy was actually a Karen Freedom Fighter who agreed to do the part and sadly his family were taken prisoner by the Burmese government when they found out he was in this movie. This war has been going for over seventy years now.
There were rumors this would be PG-13. Thank God Stallone stuck to his gut and went full gore.
Yeah that wouldn’t have worked with the story and violence we ended up seeing, don’t know how they would have cut it down
@@ActionJackson1982 Maybe 40 less headshots, 10 fewer intestines??? I need to see an edited for television version now🤣
The thought of this movie being PG-13 is hilarious to me lol
@@clevelandcbi it would probably go something like:
Starring Sylvester Stallone
Roll credits
@@thatonedoood Sounds about right.
The stuff you see happening to civilians in this movie is accurate. This sort of thing is happening in Burma still.
If anything it’s sugarcoated in this movie how bad it is in real life in Burma and how much it happens all the time 🤦♂️☯️☯️☯️
This Rambo film & First Blood, are my personal 2 favorites of the series!! And that Browning 50 Cal Machine Gun Turret scene.....GET SUM BABY!!!! Seriously Sylvester Stallone said "Might as well be truthful, to show what & how 50 Cal does to a human body at point blank range."
In my opinion
1. First Blood (10/10)
2. RAMBO (10/10)
3. First Blood Part ll (9.5/10)
4. Part lll (9/10)
5. Last Blood (8/10)
@@jesuspernia8031 That's still a pretty damn good average for 5 movies :)
My favorite part...
"You bring any weapons?"
"Of course not."
"You ain't changin anything."
"What were these mercenaries thinking.... Could they not do a Google Search?"
- EXACTLY and Samantha going into gore shock while TBR is giving the play-by-play was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t got to that part yet but I’m already laughing picturing it 🤣
Met Julie Benz years ago. I joked how she was in all 3 of the IMO goriest movies of 2008-Rambo, Saw and Punisher.
This film has the most realistic depiction of combat violence I had ever seen in any film up to this point. It's not like in the old movies, they fall down, a little blood maybe. No high-powered rounds do incredible damage to human bodies. I've seen it.
There's a lot of truth in this film. It was almost rated NC-17. Quentin Tarantino said this was a masterpiece that would have won Oscars if it was made by someone we never heard of. A lot of people don't wanna see Stallone succeed. Stallone said he wanted to make an action film with consequences. In other words instead of the "happy killings" we are used to, this is a film about how we deal with life as much as death. Much of the footage in the beginning is REAL.
Samantha's face when the Rambo comes up behind the guy with a machete......priceless
This might sound odd but i would seriously recommend watching the making of documentary for this film, i think it's longer than the movie but it gives so much more context to everything.
*"Shoot Michael. Nobody will know it was you!!!"*
- my daughter during the final battle🤣🤣🤣 She couldn't stand him, either.
This one and Last Blood are honestly so badass. The practical effects in these movies are insane. Watch Last Blood ASAP. The tunnel scene is crazy.
Last Blood is hilariously bad. Nobody should watch that film lol.
Last blood was a mixed bag, it had 3 different movies in it, they had all they needed to finish the franchise perfectly but they fucked up, not knowing if they want to kill Rambo off or not, if they want to do a Rambo 2-3 style film or Rambo 1 and 4. It was a mess tonally. Few GREAT moments, Sly GREAT as always, but they fucked up.
No sir they were not bad ass pretty bad tbh. Only watch the first three.
Tallboy was one of the biggest conventional bombs of the war, carrying 5,200lbs of explosives and requiring a modified Lancaster bomber. Bigger was the Grand Slam, which was so ubiquitous that when the atomic bomb was announced to the public, its power was compared to 2,000 Grand Slam bombs to put it into context for people at the time.
"Is that Rita?"
"From Dexter!"
No-no, no-no, no-no, no.
That is Darla. Always, Darla.
I believe the Karen rebels actually used the "Live for nothing or die for something" as their motto. And if you guys are into Mortal Kombat, they got Rambo in 11. Not only did they get Stallone to voice him, they also got that throat rip as a fatality for him.
I knew you'd love this one Dan...hope it wasn't too much for Sam; bless her heart, and I hope she's feeling better (after last night). I think y'all missed it but there's a quick-shot of First Blood's originally filmed ending, included within that montage dream sequence...where the Colonel actually shot-and-killed Rambo!
You are correct. That was from the deleted ending from First Blood with Colonel Trautman killing Rambo.
@@dustman820 Thank You. I was hoping they'd catch it; maybe Dan noticed it during the edit.
Rambo Part lll was already considered brutal and then this one pushed it even further. They included that throat rip as a fatality in Mortal Kombat 11 for him (he was a guest character in that game).
I figured that's where it came from.
It is fatality worthy.
First Throat rip goes to Swayze in Roadhouse tho but I appreciate Rambo for making it cool again
That Gun that "Skool-Boy" uses is called The Barret M107 SNIPER RIFLE it's the same rifle that the late Chris Kile used during the war in Iraq..... The only gun able to fire a 50 caliber round....
By far my fav. Rambo he was done with all bullshit imo and also bringing back the best line "live for nothing or die for something"
Edit: Also "killing is easy as breathing" was a good one
This movie have a bunch of good lines, and interactions.
"When you're pushed, killing is easy as breathing" and then you see the Christian aidworker going at one of the soldiers with a rock. A murder as old as mankind itself.
I love the meme from this movie. They took the shot of Rambo on the 50 cal gun and painted out the gun, so Rambo looks like he is giving an aggressive two thumbs up.
I had no idea that existed, must find
@@shady_the_one I'm sure it's easy to find. There's another version where they painted a camera in his hands and he's agressively photographing a butterfly.
@@carm3d interesting as well
School boy , he was in black hawk down. He was the soldier with a broken arm that was willing to cut his cast of to fight.
Matthew Marsden. He does commentary sometimes with Sara Gonzales on The Blaze Radio Network.
Was an 0331(Machine gunner) in the Marine Corps and I can attest that the scenes with the Ma Deuce were accurate except for two things. It didn't constantly jam and even rounds as big as .50 won't send someone flying like that. Everything else is realistic though, from tearing limbs off of people to punching fist sized holes in vehicles to ripping people in half.
There was only one weapon I handled that was more destructive and that was the Mk 19, which is literally a belt fed 40mm grenade machine gun.
I wish Stallone had stopped the Rambo series with this one.
I really liked the symbolism of Rambo returning home, after finally finding a sort of inner peace and acceptance of letting go of the past. First Blood was showing Rambo wandering the country, unwilling to go home. Here he does go home.
That's how I would have wrapped up his character.
Can't wait until you guys do more Stallone. It's always fun watching. Lock Up and Daylight are great, underrated Stallone films.
Nighthawks is a good early career movie for Stallone as well.
They still have one more Rambo to do.
Agreed - those are great.
Yeah. I think Lock Up, Cobra and Escape Plan are a few good Stallone movies they haven't done yet
despite the over the top gore of this movie, it's probably the most realistic depiction of the violence of war, kinda like what we got with the D-Day intro to Saving Private Ryan.
Here we go!!!!!
It always felt a bit like "ok, what if we just shoot Rambo 2 again, but dial it up to 200?", but it never bothered me. Its the full embracement of the over the top action - vicious, raw and unapologetic.
A lot of people disliked it because of the violence, in my country the uncut version is banned because of it, but I liked it, because it was not littered with one-liners or showed how much fun it is to kill people. You rarely go "yeah, cool!!" in this movie, you are appalled and speechless by the "reality" of war.
And it was nice to see how involved Stallone was with everything: actor, writer, director and closely involved with the developement of the soundtrack.
The atrocities and genocides made by Burma(my country) soldiers that appeared in this movie is still happening in Burma today.But people are fighting back this tyranny and giving their lives everyday for freedom and democracy.
Love the reaction btw ❤️
Your stunned silence at the level of brutality....perfect.
FINALLY Y GUYS ARE WATCHING RAMBO 4. IT TOOK 20 YEARS TO MAKE THE 4TH FILM CAUSE THE LAST ONE WAS PART 3 FROM 1988. NOTHING IS OVER!!!!!!!!🔥🔥👏 RAMBO IS THE FUCKING BOSS😎
Here's something worth knowing.
The actor Maung Maung Khin, playing the main villain is a real life resistance fighter in Burma. He was cast because Stallone liked his life story and Khin himself wanted to raise awareness about the Civil war and the government's atrocities.
And he did that by playing a composite of some of the most despicable human beings he's encountered in his own life.
The R. initial on the mailbox was dedicated to Richard Crenna, the actor who played colonel Trautman. r.i.p :'))
Rambo: Last Blood had 2 theatrical versions. In Australia we had the longer version that has a 10 minute opening scene. The USA never got this version. It would be to your benefit if you were able to react to the longer version.
“It is well that war is so terrible, or we would grow too fond of it.”
General Robert R Lee.
Aloha love your reaction I’m a ex marine Vietnam era thanks for your your respect appreciate that much respect to your country too love it’s what is stay in good spirits and and best of health keep the faith be safe ciaos
This and Rocky Balboa helped resurrect Sylvester Stallone's career. This used real news footage and was filmed in different parts of Myanmar/Burma. The lead missionary played the main priest in The Sopranos
Pretty sure it was filmed in Chang Mai, Thailand. Why would the Burmese Junta allow a movie being filmed in Burma about the Burmese Army massacring civilians?
@@alfredstimoli2590, the cast and crew were smart enough to avoid the military. Sylvester Stallone wanted authenticity
'Schoolboy' (Matthew Marsden) was also in the Anaconda (1997) sequel Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), both of them are great monster fun but don't bother with next ones.🐛
"Sorry dogs, you're about to sniff a claymore" hahaha I'm putting that on a t-shirt.
Can’t get enough Rambo and the brutality in this film is awesome since it was bad guys that needed to be Ramboed
When you guys get to the last one, make sure you watch the extended cut. The thing is that when the movie got released, the audience in the US and UK saw a shortened version for some reason, while the rest of the world saw a longer version in theaters. And when they released the longer version in the US and UK on DVD and Blu-Ray, they called it "the extended cut", while for the rest of the world, it is "the original cut". So the extended cut is the right one for you.
This movie is great and brutal!
I love Rambo, this film really shows what goes on in that country till this day, and Sylvester Stallone wanted to show its true brutality
That dude from the Punisher tv series, Rawlins
Great reaction btw!
Every Christmas Eve my family has a tradition where we all sit around the fire and sip cups of cocoa, watching Rambo's Murder Jeep scene on a loop.
You guys should do "Cliffhanger"for sure. I really think you will enjoy that one.
We did and we loved it! ua-cam.com/video/HApCP2zrdro/v-deo.html
Rambo 2008 my favorite Rambo movie the most violent and extremely brutal movie of all the Rambo movies
I thought that this movie and Rocky Balboa were both phenomenal movies that extended and built upon their original stories and demonstrated the character progression really well. Also, it demonstrates Stallone's growth both infront of and behind the camera. You'll really like the Expendables series for the mix of comedy/action and the cast is unbelievable.
I think you'll really like Last Blood for a bunch of reasons and I'm really looking forward to it.
Last Blood got a Rotten Tomatoes score of 26%, for good reason. It’s terrible.
@@butkusfan23 the critics' opinion means nothing to me. 5000+ viewers giving 81/100 are FAR more trustworthy than 174 critics giving 26/100. Much more so because critics have been heavily biased against Stallone.
Been a Stallone and Rambo fan ever since I was a kid in the 80s. I watched this movie in theaters, opening weekend. I was suffering through some mental health issues at the time and just the adrenaline rush from this movie, especially the final action scene, helped me A LOT! lmao it sounds like a joke: Rambo Cured My Depression! But it KINDA did 🤣
I grew up in Burma during my teenage years. There was a boy my age (13 back then) that lived in my apartment. Every afternoon we would talk to each other from our balconies. One day I noticed that I hadn't seen him for months. It turns out that he was kidnapped by the army on the way back from school and sent to the jungle to be a mine sweeper with other 13 year olds. That's what the army does. They use children and make them march ahead of the army in case there's any mines.
Sylvester Stallone is the best director & Cast member. Also he directed & Cast member again in The Expendables 1.
This one had the perfect ending for Rambo. There was absolutely no need for another movie.
Who cares. It's more entertainment...the tunnel scene might be a top Rambo scene. The movie isn't great, but it's your life, if you want 4 to be the 'end' then let it be for you...
A sniper's purpose is almost more psychological than numeric. After someone next to you has their head explode and you don't even know where it came from, it tends to remove your eagerness to move forward. Also, the mercenaries weren't prepared for what they are in for.
The reason why Stallone kept his shirt on the entire film was because he had gotten tattoos. This would have been a continuity error for Rambo, who lived in Thailand for 20 years after the events of Rambo 3, because no one in that country tattoos in that style (to my knowledge) of which Stallone got his.
This film ALMOST GOT AN NC17 rating for the children getting killed, but when Stallion told the producers this needed to be shown, they dropped it back to an R Rating.
I highly recommend you watch the director's cut. It extends a few conversations between Rambo and Sarah, giving both characters extra dimension. During the scene where Rambo forges a new knife, we hear the pastor saying a prayer for the missionaries, which I think is just as effective as the "killin's as easy as breathin'" monologue.
Immediately clicked! My favorite Rambo film and favorite action movie. So brutal and gory, has to be the goriest action movie ever! The last scene especially
Once you do Rambo 5 you must do The Expendables series
We figured there’s a few more action stars we needed to hit first before The Expendables, what movies do we still need?
@@TBRSchmittHacksaw Ridge.
@@TBRSchmitt Well...y'all have already gotten a taste of Dolph Lundgren with Rocky 4; if you want more with Him, I'd recommend Universal Soldier (with Van Damme) and maybe Masters of the Universe ('87).
For Jason Statham...easily go with The Transporter, Crank or Death Race (2008).
For Jet Li...try Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 the Grave and (of course) Lethal Weapon 4.
@@TBRSchmitt I would look at the cast list on Imdb. Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren among others. But you have basically seen the major action movies from the main guys, Arnold Sly and Bruce. Thing is the Expendables series keeps adding more action heros to the cast list, Chuck Norris in EX2, Mel Gibson in EX3 for example. But I’d just check Arnold’s and Sly’s IMDB and check for retro action hitters.
@@TBRSchmitt be sure to watch any of Bruce Lee
*The Big Boss*
*Fist of Fury* (Chinese Connection in the US)
*Return of Dragon 🐉* Chuck Norris vs Bruce Lee fight

My fav Rambo. Super dark compared to the rest. But also super realistic with what war is like.
You've got to love the missionary going off on Rambo after he literally just saved them from murderous bandits.
Another Sylvester Stallone movie you should check out is Lock Up. It wasn't a big hit but I think it's one of his better performances in one of his better movies. It also has Donald Sutherland as the warden.
Lock Up is great. I really do hope they watch it eventually.
Awesome movie!!!!!
“Did they not do a Google search?” At that time, getting a phone line, let alone an internet connection was hard to come by in areas such as Burma. Assuming these guys were operating for extended periods in such areas, they probably didn’t even know what a Google search was.
As always, I love you guys and your reactions! I really hope Samantha wasn’t too traumatized by this one. Can’t wait for your reaction for Rambo Last Blood!
Manage your expectations for the last one. Don't expect anything as good as this one was.
It is still a good movie. Rambo is vulnerable again
Saw this in the theatre and I wanted to stand up and cheer at the end :)
Hoping ya'll hit up CopLand with your Stallone run! :)
ua-cam.com/video/ELfQkxm1Pc0/v-deo.html
This movie have gotten me into the Rambo franchise! Sly crafts everything very well in this film.
And that was the story of how John Rambo single-handedly ended the Burmese Civil War.
I think the biggest problem with Last Blood was that it followed this one and paled in comparison. It took a big chance by being almost completely different from all the others. Do watch the director's cut if possible.
Apart from First Blood this might be my favourite of the whole series. Props to Stallone for directing this
Fun fact: the actor that plays the Burmese general is a survivor of the war in Burma and experience a lot of does atrocities.
Being from Az "Rambo" is my Arizona hero such a true Bad A$$ I started watching these young because of my dad. I always have a moment when he goes full circle and comes back home after like 30+years.
Saw this on opening night with a bunch of mates in Sydney. Cinema had about 40-50 people in it - all male, all in clumped groups of 5-10, all around our age (let's just say it's a safe bet we all grew up renting VHS). Shocked exclamations and a few cheers through the film, but once the final set piece kicked in, the room just became a cacophony of howling, hollering, laughing and chaos. Unlike US cinema audiences, Australian theatre experiences for the sot part are not like this at all. Essentially, everyone was just so taken aback by the sheer gratuity of it all that it was really the only way to deal. "Laugh through it now, process it all later", basically.
Same here. Bunch of guys in the cinema, drinking a few beers, hollering and cackling.
I feel the director's cut of this one would have been the better option. The cut dialog rambo has with Sarah in the boat before being convinced to take them was great. Didn't understand why it was removed and it showed that out of everyone in the group she did understand him better.
22:00 *I know damn well my daughter's gonna crack up at poor Samantha's face. My apologies in advance kind lady.*
Best Rambo movie ever. The theater actually gave a standing ovation at the end I couldn’t believe it.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this because this is how I envision Rambo really is what hes been trained to be.
The big bad in this movie was himself a Karin rebel. And it was meaningful for him to do this movie to bring awareness to this war.
The final battle was inspired by Audi Murphy in WW2.
“On January 26, 1945, 2nd Lieutenant Audie L. Murphy was commanding company B of the 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, near the French village of Holtzwihr when six German tanks and several hundred infantrymen attacked his company. Murphy ordered his men to fall back to defensive positions in nearby woods while he covered their withdrawal and called down artillery to slow the German advance. German fire hit an American tank destroyer nearby and set it on fire. Witnesses later recalled how he “climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy.” From Murphy’s exposed position on top of the burning tank destroyer, he killed over 20 German soldiers and repelled their attack. For more than an hour, Murphy continued to fire the machine gun, despite being wounded in the leg. He then led his company in a counterattack that killed or wounded 50 more German soldiers.”
When asked why he did it he replied, “They were killing my friends”
The best about this movie is the perfect score, love it!
First! but seriously this is my 2nd favorite rambo for sure!!
This is my 2nd favorite Rambo movie after the original which will never be topped. I got to see this & the last one at the theaters. If they ever do a special screening of the first 3 I would be there
Yeah... i'm in my late 40's and grew up on Rambo 1-3. I would go see them in the theater.
I love that the fourth Rambo movie is a grindhouse b-movie throwback. It’s short, violent, and straight to the point.
At 10:34 in this video, part of the flashback actually shows the original ending for the first movie, where Rambo uses Trautman's gun to shoot himself dead. It's a real "blink and you'll miss it" scene.
It’s crazy looking at this movie in juxtaposition with the previous three. The violence depicted is so visceral and realistic but ultimately necessary to show people how brutal and unforgiving this civil war is.
the quote from the director cut is impactful. when rambo talks about war.
That we're like animals! It's in the blood! It's natural! Peace? That's an accident! It's what is! When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing. When the killing stops in one place, it starts in another, but that's okay... 'cause you're killing for your country. But it ain't your country who asks you, it's a few men up top who want it. Old men start it, young men fight it, nobody wins, everybody in the middle dies... and nobody tells the truth!
7:24 we are so close. TBR "To death"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I'm forget This Movie So Good, But This movie Is so Brutality and Violence
