Rambo V

Assuming this will "probably" be Rambo's last outing, I think he needs to go in style. Something with Desert Ironwood from the Mexican desert...like this, only weathered... ;)

That scene, awesome as it was, missed the most compelling head explosion of the film! The expendables’ effects were regrettably cgi, and digital red corn syrup just does not play well on the big screen! Edit: yeah, you got it on that clip, cannot be done with cgi, am I right? Also, the hole where the heart should be, various others

That head explosion was in the clip I posted.

Sorry, I’ll watch it again, but I thought there was another close up that looked unforgettable! Maybe it just looks less thrilling on my small screen! Thanks for posting it, btw. edit: yeah, it was in the clip, sorry! 91bravo 91bravo for the mistake! It also had the hole in the chest and other memorable non-cgi moments from the film, which made it one of JR’s best!

The Rambo movies are great action fantasy films. A normal person would have been dead a hundred times over. I also chuckle what we find memorable in the Rambo films. I would be like all those other guys who are dead in about ten seconds. Make it 10 minutes if I got lucky.
 
Yeah, for me the movie would be like, “we’re tracking some bad guys, look at this pretty spider web, oops, ... the end.”
Of course I didn’t forget about the noble struggle to save(some of) the horrifically oppressed Christian minority in that region, by a missionary group and then later by Rambo!
One thing I realized, by watching the clip a 3rd time, that if that patrol boat in the scene had really been left behind by US forces 40+ years ago it would have been painted differently and not be as well maintained as it was shown in the film.

I always chuckle at the story that Stallone approached Bill Moran to make his first Rambo knife. Stallone wouldn't pay for it or them. Moran wouldn't make a couple for him for nothing. Stallone was not a happy guy that day.

Even in 1980, Moran was back ordered for years for all he could produce. Stallone wanted very special treatment.

A knife? I think he'd be better off with a portable defibrillator ..
I’m currently reading a long out of print memoir from WWII. They are about to launch a long range offensive into what was then called Burma: savage jungle warfare with limited supplies. Anybody under the age of 40 was automatically booted.

71. Ahahahahaha :D
 
Whatever knife he starts out with needs to be lost in some dramatic way early on. Then he can stumble into some third world bar, kill everyone there with his bare hands, and then knap a new knife out of a booze bottle. :thumbsup:
