Trent Williams died on Monday at 71 from a motorcycle crash he starred in my favourite movie DEEP RISING which is a forgotten gem with loads of actor's people will recognise

[@The_Kiosk]

The rocket launcher Rambo used is a Rocket Propelled Grenade, or RPG. The ones they used against Rambo in the fields are called mortar grenades, or just mortars even though the mortar is the tube they drop them in. RPGs have a detonator on the nose and a propellant nozzle in the rear the trigger pull causes a firing pin to ignite the rocket nozzle. Mortar grenades have an impact ignitor for the rocket nozzle in the back as well as a detonator on the nose. Mortars are designed for longer distances and are always launched using a parabolic arc trajectory. Lots of math involved.

I love all of the Rambo movies, I think the reason some people don't like the later movies is because First Blood is a more dramatic commentary of how veterans were treated, and the effects of PTSD in soldiers.

For those of you that don’t know in the original novel, David Morrell wrote it so that the character of Rambo died. His traumatic memories of war in Vietnam psychologically damaged him so badly that he basically became a psychopath against the national guard and cops. He literally destroys the town in the book and killed many more people. He was so out of control they didn’t have a choice but too kill him off. However when James Cameron decided too write Rambo 2 he pitched the project too David Morrell about Rambo returning too Vietnam to rescue POWs and David Morrell brought Rambo back for the 2nd novel.

Just remembered the G.I.'s version of the 23rd Psalm that we would have engraved on cigarette lighters & jewelry.

The thing about First Blood 2 is that it released a virtual deluge of "one man army" movies where one guy (or, occasionally, a girl) would take on an entire army, crime syndicate, or other huge evil organization, and win. It's kind of one of the things that defined the 80s.

Hey Mary! I watch and enjoy action movies like this whole franchise to be entertained. Not to fact check reality or pick them apart in any way or to endorse or reject any related political statement. It's emotive entertainment with easy to see/feel good and bad characters/themes. I can re-watch any of these on my own if I choose, but I watch reaction channels like yours because of how you react to them. I enjoy re-experiencing them through your emotions (excitement, tears, anger, happiness, etc., all of it). Have to admit, it bothers me a bit that viewers tell you to not watch a movie only because they didn't like it as much as something else. The whole point is to react to your reactions - so why not watch more of a franchise that you have enjoyed so far? There will always be people who applaud you "watching the next one" in any series. So thank you for choosing to react to First Blood II despite some telling you not to - and I encourage you to decide to watch the next one based on how YOU feel. You'll know when to stop, and maybe when NOT to upload something you truly didn't enjoy. Trust your gut. And thank you for what you do - you (and all your friends that you collab with) are really good at this! Respect to you! 😃

Fantastic reaction, Mary! - Yes, almost everybody says that the first Rambo movie is the best - and I agree on that, but this second one is just so darn entertaining - Rambo as a war machine in the search for justice and seeking out those POWs, who are "forgotten" by USA. Lods of action, explosions, death, war, killings, justice, courage and even romance in a nice big 80's action package. I really love it - Rambo was already a hero, but now he is legendary . The score by Jerry Goldsmith may use the same theme over and over again, but what's a kickass score which compliments the hero of Rambo perfect! - Truth, Justice and Revenge! Btw - if you want to check something kinda weirdo - look for "Steel Justice" from the year 1987. About a war veteran who takes a step up and start to battle crime in the State as a cop. His buddy gets killed by a vicious guy in a drug ring. Now the lead, whose name is John STEELE! have to seek out Justice!.... the best part!? - John Steele is played by Martin Kove! (And he is not likable at all, almost on the same level as Steven Seagal, but imagine seeing Martin Kove playing the hero?.... nah... dosn't work...)

Those survival knives like the one Rambo carried were massively popular after this movie came out. A Bowie knife with a compass on the handle that unscrewed to open a hollow where there were matches, a fishing line and hook, and a few other "survival" tools. The reason a lot of people pan this and the next movie are because some of the cheesiness... like a guy about 50 feet away firing an automatic rifle at him while Rambo slowly gets his bow and strings the arrow to fire.

[@berranari1]

Great comment. Your logic is sound. Only thing is I could not not find many comments that back up Mary's claim that most commenters dished on 2 and 3. Most of her comments were that First Blood was shot in Canada and about PTSD. My cousins bought that RAMBO knife. A reason why many people pan Rambo II is because it was such an iconic 80s movie whereas First Blood (Rambo 1) is more of a cult classic, meaning it has a smaller number of fans, but they are very fond of it. If Mary wants me to believe that her fans are sh*tting on Rambo II then she should show one or two of these comments to us. I wont say she is bullshitting, but she is definitely exaggerating. Seriously, if people complain that Rambo is cheesy, then I guess they wanted a totally realistic movie about a guy that rescued a bunch of POWs from Vietnam by himself. That sounds insane to me. Now that the movies are not cheesy they are flat and awful. Even Terminator was a little cheesy. T2 was very cheesy. I liked the first one the best in that franchise. I love Commando.

[@thedarkknight2221]

In video games “Going Rambo” is defined as running in guns blazing with little to no cover. But it should also refer at times to using stealth in an aggressive and offensive way. As in traps, stealth kills and fear tactics. The games that are as close as you can get to being Rambo are the rebooted Tomb Raider games (especially the 3rd one Shadow Of The Tomb Raider) and Far Cry 6. There is even a side mission where you help out the biggest Rambo fan ever and it ends with you getting the bow and explosive tipped arrow kit used in THIS MOVIE, you even kill bad guys while shouting quotes from the movies. Also I love the message James Cameron conveyed in this movie that we need to treat our veterans with far more love, respect than we give them. Cameron’s own brother is a veteran. Sadly to this day too many governments and militaries (including and especially our own) don’t give their veterans the care the need and deserve. They prop them up as heroes and then when their usefulness has ended they are cast aside and treated with indifference.

Those grenades flying through the air during the rice paddy scene are called Mortars. They are basically like you said, grenades that fly through the air. Mortars when used by a competent and trained team can be used to devastating effect as anti personnel area of effect weapons.

Another thing to keep in mind, this was a Cold War movie as much as a Rambo movie. For another rescue POWs movie Uncommon Valor is good.

The ultimate Cold War movie has got to be Red Dawn, the original with Patrick Swayzee.

[@Renegade2786]

Funny thing about *Red Dawn* is that if you replace America with Iraq or Afghanistan and the Communism forces of Russia and Cuba with US military, you literally get the Iraq/Afghanistan war. When American kids risk their lives to fight commie forces in their homeland, they're called patriots When Iraqi or Afghan kids risk their lives to fight America forces in their homeland, they're called terrorists.

If Murdoch didn’t recall the chopper and leave him she wouldn’t have been there. 23:22 I like in this one how they really emphasize Rambo’s combat abilities and how he’s able to blend into his surroundings. 25:05 well these guys are true enemies and the others were fellow Americans that just saw him differently.

First Blood probably had the best story of all of the movies, but 2 and 3 weren't anywhere near bad...this is the one where Rambo became iconic. The first was more personal, just trying to survive, but this one we get to see Rambo in his element. It doesn't disappoint. 3 can have a feeling of "here we go again", but that's also what a lot of people want. My personal favourite is Rambo (#4) which is a lot of fan service (20 years after #3), but I won't complain. (I personally think the last one didn't need to exist and would like to forget it, but I wouldn't say it's a bad movie.)

[@johnfriday5169]

I agree with everything you said except the fan service part, unless the fans are the Karen Rebels. This was a perfect ending for the character and brought awareness to a conflict most people didn't even know was happening. Then, it was so well received that one more was made and now I'm back to completely agreeing again. Last Blood is a well made movie that shouldn't have been made.

The original movie had a lot more emotional conflict, rather than just pure action.

[@k.delpino1124]

This and Rocky IV in 1985. Sly owned the game as an actor and filmmaker. The original FB was always psychological with action and drama. But these sequels turned Rambo into a major action hero of the era. Sly was in peak physical form. Between the gym and working with top-notch combat experts. For writing part 2, Sly Stallone on one side made sure that the character remained flawed. James Cameron on the other side added the more visceral mode of Rambo's skill and bada**ery. One of the first Rated-R movies to produce toys, video games, lunch boxes, bookbags, etc. Followed by an animated series in 1986, "RAMBO:The Force of Freedom" (65 episodes). Action packed, not too violent and a bit edgier than G.I. Joe. Glad you like this one. The other 3 really go the distance.

[@warrenbfeagins]

😂😂😂😂 The timing of the woman being shot RIGHT after Mary thought Rambo found his true love.

[@Stubbies2003]

One thing to keep in mind for context is that when Rambo 1 and 2 came out we weren't that far removed from our loss in Vietnam and the way our vets were treated returning home. The movie platoon wouldn't be a thing till the year after Rambo 2 was released. The USA hadn't dealt with it as a country so they did a great job of showing it from the perspective of the vet in a way. Obviously compared to Platoon this is way over the top and not realistic but back then it really hit in the feels and combined with movies like Platoon was a catharsis the country needed on the subject. I think this is where you had the change up of people who wanted to protest war to not take it out on the vets who are just doing their job but on the bureaucrats making the calls.

[@drewb3665]

I'm one of the few people on the planet that has Rambo III as my favorite. Its epic as hell. Crenna called it Rambo of Arabia.

All the Rambo movies are awesome in their own way, John J. is a total icon just like Rocky : )

I think the Russian Commander played the Riddler on the 60's Bat Man TV Series...

My 8th grade social studies teacher was the brother of the main P.O.W. in this movie. He showed us all many picture of himself and Sly at his house. So cool

[@StrangeMachines1]

Good old Rambo 2. One of my favourites

[@1972dsrai]

Damn, you’re very funny. You had me laughing my way through this and I love Rambo.

14:50 Those are mortars, they are close range (0.5-8 km or so) indirect fire weapons that lobs grenades (60-120mm diameter) at an above 45 degree angle (whereas Artillery which is larger (100mm and above), in general fires at below 45 degree angles and shoots 3-5 times further). Mortars are mostly a company support weapon for it's platoons whereas artillery is a battalion support weapon in support of companies (platoon:30-40 men, company: 3-4 platoons, battalion: 3-4 companies, above that there's brigades and then divisions, armies, corps, etc that's pretty much only existed on paper for most nations since ww2) Anyway, missiles have an internal combustion that propel them (and unlike rockets are guided in some way), mortars and artillery is driven by the explosive charge set off in the tube and aren't guided (although there are some newer artillery ammunition that have guidance/correction, Excalibur, Bonus and etc.) so they will travel in an arch from the place they were fired from to where they are supposed to hit, to do that you need to do a bunch of calculations which nowdays are done by computer programs that get fed data like map topography meteorology etc. So no, they are not missiles. Sorry about the nerdery, (and getting sidetracked) i've been an artilleryman for a long time...

Yes the 1st one is great, because it brings to light what vets had to deal with, 1st one was more a message, and an honor to vets. Where this one and the others are more about action. So while I love the 1st one, these others I would me more likely to watch over and over.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Rambo fest, Mary. Interesting tidbit, This and First Blood, the previous film you just watched, were one of the many reasons why it was marketed to kids with the release of the cartoon of the same name, entitled *RAMBO: The Force of Freedom* in 1986, that it had a motley of voice-actors from different franchises portraying the characters like for example: On the side of the Good guys, *The Force of Freedom* includes; *Springer (Transformers The Movie)/Duke (GI JOE)/Shang Tsung (MK: DOTR)/Volgin (MGS3) voiced by Neil Ross as Rambo.* *Skeletor/Man-At-Arms/Mer-Man (He-Man and the MOTU)/Seaspray/Beachcomber (Transformers) voiced by Alan Oppenheimer as Col. Trautman.* *Uncle Phil (Fresh Prince)/Shredder (TMNT) voiced by the late James Avery as Turbo.* *Hassan/Prince Jamal (Transformers) voiced by Mona Marshall as Kat (based on Co from this film).* On the side of the Bad Guys, *S.A.V.A.G.E. (Secret Administrators of Vengeance, Anarchy, and Global Extortion)* consists of; *Optimus Prime and Megatron (Transformers), Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as SGT. Havoc and Mad-Dog (with the former based on Yushin from this movie).* *Kang (Star Trek)/Mr. Freeze (Batman The Animated Series) by Michael Ansara as Gen. Warhawk (with him based on Steven Berkoff's portrayal of Pudovsky and Hitler in Herman Wouk's War and Remembrance Miniseries).* *Dormammu (Spider-Man Animated Series) voiced by Ed Gilbert as Nomad* *Gomez from the Addams Family voiced by Lennie Weinrib as Gripper.* Just like GI JOE, the cartoon also had ninjas voiced by Robert Ito, except that the color palettes were swapped: *Snake-Eyes in White Dragon is a part of the Force of Freedom team, while his evil twin brother, the Storm Shadow on the S.A.V.A.G.E. team as the Black Dragon.* The second reason which mentioned the inclusion of Trautman, also made its break into the Video Game Industry, when famed Japanese Video Game maker, Hideo Kojima took inspiration from this to create the *Metal Gear Franchise,* particularly *Metal Gear Solid* with Crenna's portrayal of the character as inspiration to create *Col. Campbell and Solid Snake.*

"got a bit of a mullet situation going on 😂" honey wait til part 3 😂

[@josepho7083]

I always thought this was the 1st Rambo movie because as a kid who grew up in the 80's this was the only one they showed on TV. I also wore out the VHS. It wasn't til I was like 12 or 13 I finally watched Rambo 1. This one is my favorite, followed by 4 then 1. 5 and 3 are both good IMO and I have watched both over and over. There isn't one that I wouldn't sit down and watch anytime.

[@berranari1]

Dude it was called "Rambo - First Blood Part II" You should have asked for First Blood in your library and video library. I had seen First Blood on TV when I was a kid and my cousin told me there was a sequel coming. They only showed the 2nd one on television when you were a kid because it was new.

[@stonecoldku4161]

Rambo the OG Baba Yaga before John Wick.

[@porkypile]

"Is Murdoch okay in the noggin?" Hahaha

[@TheMocholoco]

When it came out thought there would be a Rambo versus Predator movie....ah dreams...

[@jonmercano1138]

I haven’t watched this in a while, I don’t recall if there were any translation subtitles even on the dvd. the old dvd at least

[@herrzimm]

Also, LOVE how so many people overlook the fact that the backblast from the shoulder launched rocket from the helicopter would basically BBQ everyone in the back. If not, just the CONCUSSION alone would rupture lungs, eardrums and other organs.

[@thevilliageidiot1794]

Thank you for the video/review. Watching your reviews is stress therapy for me. The Rambo films are a mixed bag, with some amazing films and some that just don't live up to the first and second. Many only liked First Blood because it had a thoughtful drama aspect, albeit untraditional from a story-telling standpoint. It was a tight smart film that really draws out your own feeling and rage. First Blood 2 is more 80s action film in tone, it's one of the quintessential 80s action films that helped make the mold for the genre, along with Arnold's films. It also has a drama aspect, but it's not deep and it's largely contrived... Fine for an 80s action flick, but not at the level of the first movie. The remaining films are very different, of which I think Stallone himself felt Rambo (#4) was a standout, I agree. #3 is just an action film with normal action tropes, but has slightly more direct interaction and dialog between Rambo and Trautman if I recall. #4 really hits hard for those aware of the Burma/Myanmar war at the time, but is still a powerful rage inducing action film even if you're not aware (the villain was actually a Myanmar war refugee). #5 was a money grab that if I recall correctly Stallone didn't care for. IMO, you're not missing much if you skip #3 and #5, unless you want to see the action, any of these movies can still be watched stand-alone; watching #1 & #2 gave you all you need to know about the character for those remaining films to stand on their own. But of course, many love them all, they are just a differing assortment of films with the collection. Just my opinion, to each their own and I hope you enjoy each one you choose to watch. Thank you again.

25:30 zigzag I would zigzag..... as Peter Falk teaches lol

[@jamesmorant1406]

You couldn't wait for Rambo to get Murdock that was so satisfying

[@F13fan]

Love this one almost as much as pt1. Big fan of pt4 too.(definitely watch the directors cut of that entry) So really hope you watch all 5
