Rambo – Ultimate Blu-Ray Collection BlurayIt`s easy to forget that this Spartan, violent film, which begat the Rambo series, was such a big hit in 1982 because it was a good movie. Green Beret vet John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into the wrong small town to find a fellow `Nam buddy and gets the living heck kicked out of him by the local law enforcement (led by Brian Dennehy). The vet strikes back the only way he knows how, leading to a visceral, if unrealistic, flight and fight through the local mountains. Based on the 1972 novel by David Morrell, this film saved Stallone`s then-foundering career and the Rambo character became the inspiration for countless political cartoons. But this film is Deliverance without the moral ambiguity. Rambo: First Blood Part II [1985]: After Rocky and its sequels, Sylvester Stallone cast about for another character that would bring him the same kind of box-office hit–and found it in disillusioned Vietnam vet John Rambo in First Blood, a solid little action thriller. So when all else failed, Stallone went back to the same well in hopes of recapturing the same commercial success. Which this film did. But where First Blood was a no-nonsense thriller that pitted Stallone against a worthy (and not necessarily bad) Brian Dennehy, this one is a sadistic chest-thumper in which Rambo gets to go back to Vietnam: ostensibly, he is there to rescue missing POWs, but in fact the movie was a lame excuse for him to refight the Vietnam War–and win. Audiences ate up the cruel Vietcong (and their Russian manipulators) and Stallone`s bogus heroics, but it was strictly by-the-numbers action. Rambo III [1988]:
And the hits just keep on coming. Sylvester Stallone, who can`t seem to draw flies unless he`s playing Rocky Balboa or John Rambo, went back to the Rambo well (or septic system, as it were) to show his well-known solidarity with the Afghan freedom fighters who battled the Soviet army in the 1980s. This time it`s personal

Reluctantly Rambo agrees to make the dangerous journey and the missionaries head off into the remote jungle. Having finally reached their destination the missionaries are attacked and kidnapped when the village they are staying in is raided by government soldiers led by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint (MAUNG MAUNG KHIN).
