December 6, 200717 yr Rocky kinda deserved to be rehabilitated and taken back to its grass roots, the absolutely AWFUL, right-wing, Reaganite garbage that is "Rambo" emphatically does NOT deserve any such modern make-over.... I dont include the rather excellent book upon which "First Blood" was based, John Rambo in his first incarnation was actually quite anti-establishment and made some powerful comments on the way America treated its conscripted soldiers after sending them off to Vietnam to fight in a war most had no wish to..... But the sequels were just utter Pro-Republican trash.....

But the sequels were just utter Pro-Republican trash..... The bit at the end of First Blood is quite moving when he breaks down.... also loved it for when he goes "But he aint got no legs!!!" in his accent, lol, a bit which shouldn't be laughed at really but i do anyway. Agree with you to a point about it being OTT with all the patriotic c**p but i do enjoy the action... especially the exploding arrow heads.
