1985 was the year Sylvester Stallone went from Hollywood heavyweight to undisputed box office king. With Rocky IV on one side and Rambo: First Blood Part II on the other, he wasn't just riding the wave of 80s action; he was the wave. And while First Blood had been a surprisingly thoughtful thriller about trauma, alienation, and a veteran's struggle to reintegrate into society, its sequel shed all subtlety like a spent shell casing. What we got instead was a high-octane, Reagan-era fever dream of exploding arrows, shirtless jungle warfare, and a hero who could take down entire armies with little more than a knife, a bow, and a steely stare. Strap into your parachutr and prepare for our Rambo: First Blood Part II ReviewOn this week's Born to Watch, the boys dive into Stallone's red-bandanaed return to Vietnam. Whitey sets the scene: this isn't just a movie, it's the beginning of the "one-man war" subgenre that would dominate until Die Hard flipped the script in 1988. Damo admits he's barely watched it compared to the rest of the team, just four times, making him the weakest link in the Rambo chain, while Dan fondly recalls a childhood of VHS replays and backyard re-enactments, complete with shirtless flexing and imaginary M-60s.The episode kicks off with laughs about the film's working title, "Second Blood," which the team insists is far better than what we ended up with. From there, the conversation barrels through the film's unforgettable trailer, essentially a three-minute version of the movie that gives away every major set piece. But then again, in 1985, you weren't dissecting trailers on YouTube; you were catching glimpses of them before Back to the Future or in the lobby of Hoyts.As always, Colonel Trautman gets his share of love. Richard Crenna's grizzled commander was the heart of First Blood, but here the boys agree he's been badly sidelined, emasculated by slimy bureaucrats and robbed of his best lines. Whitey argues that Stallone intentionally clipped Trautman's wings to keep the spotlight on himself, before realising by Rambo III that the series needed more Crenna.Villains are in no short supply: Charles Napier's Murdoch oozes bureaucratic slime, Steven Berkoff delivers Cold War menace as a sneering Russian general (forehead mole and all), and Martin Kove, fresh off The Karate Kid, simmers in the background as a mercenary who doesn't get nearly enough to do. And then there's Julia Nickson as Co, whose accent is so gloriously bad it's become immortal. Her "What mean expendable?" line sends the boys into hysterics, though they're quick to admit she's stunning on screen and essential to Rambo's fleeting attempt at love.The set pieces get the full treatment too: Rambo parachuting into the jungle, the bamboo cage of leeches, the patrol boat ambush, and the climactic showdown with a hulking Russian gunship that feels like the final boss in a video game. Logic rarely applies, Rambo seems oddly immune to electrocution and, at one point, appears in what the boys can only describe as a "ceremonial Vietnamese G-string", but that's half the fun. Unlike Cobra, which the podcast tore apart in a recent episode, First Blood Part II manages to be outrageous without ever becoming dull.The team also dives into the film's legacy. Box office juggernaut? Absolutely, $300 million worldwide on a $44 million budget. Awards darling? Not quite. While it picked up an Oscar nomination for sound editing, it swept the Razzies, winning for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and even Worst Original Song. That song, Peace in Our Life, penned by Frank Stallone, gets roasted at length—described as "mesmerisingly bad" and “patriotic cheese that makes Bon Jovi sound poetic.”But for all its flaws, there's an undeniable joy in watching Rambo: First Blood Part II. Whitey compares it to the Avengers: Endgame of 1985, pure crowd-pleasing cinema where audiences would've cheered out loud when Rambo vaporised a guard with an explosive arrow. The film may be ridiculous, but it's never boring.As always, there are detours into Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (unanimously despised), A View to a Kill (fondly remembered for Roger Moore inventing snowboarding to the Beach Boys), and Corey Haim's werewolf flick Silver Bullet. There's also a spirited listener voicemail from loyal fan Chupperz, who demands a proper definition of "cameo" for Film School for FW, and a reminder that even when the team is tearing something apart, it's always done with affection.By the time they hit The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, the verdict is clear: Stallone's hair deserves its own credit, Trautman deserves better, and Rambo: First Blood Part II is the kind of dumb, overblown, endlessly rewatchable 80s action that Born to Watch was made for.So if you love muscle-bound mayhem, Cold War villains, or just want to hear a bunch of Aussie legends laugh, argue, and celebrate a truly explosive piece of cinema history, this is the episode for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Rambo: First Blood Part II a misunderstood classic or just overblown propaganda?

On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to acclaimed novelist David Morrell.David is the esteemed author of over 30 novels, short stories and comics, including the creation of pop culture icon John Rambo in his groundbreaking novel "First Blood". Originally an academic who taught American literature, David balanced his writing career with university life before becoming a full-time author.Speaking to us from Santa Fe, David takes us behind the scenes on the incredible journey of First Blood from page to screen - a process that took years and went through multiple studios, with potential stars including Steve McQueen and Paul Newman before Sylvester Stallone ultimately brought Rambo to life. We discuss the differences between his novel and the film adaptation, his work on the novelizations for the sequels, and his experiences on set during the filming of Rambo III.David also shares fascinating insights into his academic influences, particularly Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", and how the Rambo phenomenon helped bring awareness to PTSD and the treatment of Vietnam veterans. A truly captivating conversation about one of cinema's most enduring action heroes.Connect with ATRM: To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron:Listen on Patreon Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyTwitter/X: @ATRightMoviesYouTube: Subscribe to our channelInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Threads: @allthe_rightmoviesFacebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com

On this episode of 80s Flick Flashback, we're diving into a film that followed a surprising stumble for one of the biggest action stars of the decade: Sylvester Stallone's Rambo III.In 1987, Sylvester Stallone seemed invincible. After dominating the box office in 1985 with Rocky IV and Rambo: First Blood Part II, and cementing his action hero status with 1986's Cobra, his grip on Hollywood's action throne appeared unshakable. Yet, his 1987 arm-wrestling epic, Over the Top, shockingly bombed. For his next move, Stallone returned to one of his most iconic characters.This brings us to the 1988 sequel that is often seen as the most outlandish entry in the franchise. The story finds John Rambo leaving his tranquil life in a monastery to rescue his mentor, Colonel Trautman, from the clutches of the Soviet army in Afghanistan. Teaming up with the Mujahideen, Rambo unleashes his signature brand of explosive warfare. While a blockbuster at the time, its pro-Mujahideen stance against the Soviets has certainly become more complex and controversial in the years since.So, get ready to leave the monastery, grab your explosive-tipped arrows, and jump in the chopper as your host Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Chris Adams & JB Huffman, discuss the action, the politics, and the legacy of Rambo III.Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:The Soviet Spetsnaz troops are wearing the same "Hollywood knock-off" camouflage pattern outfits as seen on the Soviet paratroopers in 1984's "Red Dawn".Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://www.slashfilm.com/884518/behind-the-scenes-chaos-gave-rambo-iiis-director-his-debut/https://www.joblo.com/rambo-iii-1988-revisited-sylvester-stallone-movie-review/https://screenrant.com/rambo-3-movie-alternate-story-siberia-better/Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Participants: John Steppling (writer of “Rambo III”), Max Parry, Hiroyuki Hamada, and Dennis Riches. Topics covered: Phase 2 of the American war against Europe, documentary film “No Other Land”, Adorno on “adults acting like the adults they never became,” why our present leaders don't even rise to the level of mediocrity (rhetorical question), celebrity activists who fall silent or fall for dubious causes, politicians as effigies for global financial interests, writing “Rambo III” in 1988. Music track “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” by Charles Mingus (public domain).
You know what movie is awesome? Rambo III. So it would make sense that an Italian-produced ripoff would be just as awesome. You'd be wrong, and so were we, as we watched Strike Commando from Italian smut-peddler and occasional action film director, Bruno Mattei. Join us as we discuss the similarities between the two films, Reb Brown's charisma, and praise the final act's gratuitous use of exploding bodies. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa. He can be found on Instagram @dkat_productions.

Once credited as the most expensive movie ever made, Rambo III is now mainly remembered for some uncomfortable political history, but does it hold up as just an enjoyably straightforward action flick? Well, author / humorist / "Effin' Birds" creator Aaron Reynolds is here to plead the film's case. Note: there are some mild audio glitches in the second half of the episode. I duly apologize for this, and I blame those effin' birds. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

Never too much games! In this quest, Max the Dutch Gamer and Peter "Retrogamepapa" discuss how they approach collecting. Is it still really about the games themselves? When is their collection ever going to be complete? Both knights seem to have different priorities in regards to this also. Besides this main topic Peter and Max also talk about recent stuff they've been playing and watching.Stuff discussed: Fallout TV series, Skies of Arcadia, Rambo III (movie), Sand Land (and Akira Toriyama in general), I Am Setsuna. During collecting games topic: Castlevania, rare games (Forbidden Kingdom), N64 games, too many stuff to mention and sum up.
It's Septdumber month! Our podcast covers a lot of movies that people may consider dumb, but this month, WE DID IT ON PURPOSE! If you're looking for Rambo First Blood Part 2, that was episode 930. We also reference 952: Oscar and 1024: Rocky. The next dumb topic will be The Stupids (1996).
Thank you for checking out Rock Musical Month. Coming up is Septdumber, where the topics are slightly dumber than usual, and way more September. First film will be Rambo III (1988). Looking for more content? We are continuously backfilling our library with classics such as our radio play of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (250 - 253) and Music Videos that Remind Us of Thor (754 - 759).

Welcome! We're taking a break this week, getting ready for our big presidential series. That's 7 movies that run the gamut--from comedies to action to intense drama. It's going to be loads of fun. In the meantime, let's check out a quick look back at our legendary Summer of Chaos. In this episode, we had a lively discussion of Rambo III. It's a dippy, overblown, guilty pleasure action epic. Enjoy!
This week we are talking "Rambo III". This is the Rambo sequel that jumps the shark with Rambo delivering one-liners and having a sense of humor, which is far from the original. This sequel gave us no subtitles, showed us how horrible Troutman was, some great action, a tank vs a plane, and more. Watch the unedited review at sequelsonly.com/Rambo3 The next sequel we are discussing is "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk." For It, I chatted with Actor Mark Acheson. Mark talked about growing up in Canada and how the acting bug bit him, his voice-over work, his memorable mail room scene in "Elf", and a ton more.

The largest slave uprising in the 18th century British Caribbean was also a node of the global conflict called the Seven Year's War, though it isn't usually thought of that way. In the first few days of the quarantine and our current geopolitical and epidemiological shitshow, John and Elizabeth spoke with Vincent Brown, who recently published Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War (Harvard UP, 2019), centered on a group of enslaved West Africans, known under the term “Coromantees” who were the chief protagonists in this war. Tracing the vectors of this war within the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, and West Africa, Vince shows us how these particular enslaved Africans, who are caught in the gears of one of human history's most dehumanizing institutions, constrained by repressive institutions, social-inscribed categories of differences and brutal force, operate tactically within and across space in complex and cosmopolitan ways. Vince locates his interest in warfare (as an object of study) in emergence of new world order and disorder through the Gulf Wars. His attention to routes and mobilities he credits to an epidemiological turn of mind–perhaps inherited from his father Willie Brown, a medical microbiologist now retired from UCSD. The idea of the vector shaped his first book as well. Vince's “cartographic narrative” “A Slave Revolt in Jamaica: 1760-1761” and the film he produced with director Llewellyn Smith, Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (which traces African studies and anthropology's understanding of cultural movements from between Africa and the Americas) also explore these burning questions. Along the way, Vince discusses C.L.R. James' notion of conflict, war and global connectedness in The Black Jacobins and the ways that categories of social difference both are constituted by global capital (reminding us of our conversation on caste, class and whiteness with Ajantha Subramanian) and those bumper stickers from the early 1980s in which the Taliban were the good guys.

The largest slave uprising in the 18th century British Caribbean was also a node of the global conflict called the Seven Year's War, though it isn't usually thought of that way. In the first few days of the quarantine and our current geopolitical and epidemiological shitshow, John and Elizabeth spoke with Vincent Brown, who recently published Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War (Harvard UP, 2019), centered on a group of enslaved West Africans, known under the term “Coromantees” who were the chief protagonists in this war. Tracing the vectors of this war within the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, and West Africa, Vince shows us how these particular enslaved Africans, who are caught in the gears of one of human history's most dehumanizing institutions, constrained by repressive institutions, social-inscribed categories of differences and brutal force, operate tactically within and across space in complex and cosmopolitan ways. Vince locates his interest in warfare (as an object of study) in emergence of new world order and disorder through the Gulf Wars. His attention to routes and mobilities he credits to an epidemiological turn of mind–perhaps inherited from his father Willie Brown, a medical microbiologist now retired from UCSD. The idea of the vector shaped his first book as well. Vince's “cartographic narrative” “A Slave Revolt in Jamaica: 1760-1761” and the film he produced with director Llewellyn Smith, Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (which traces African studies and anthropology's understanding of cultural movements from between Africa and the Americas) also explore these burning questions.

Chris and Taylor go back to the action packed 80s to review the original Rambo First Blood Trilogy, a series of action films featuring John J. Rambo. The three films consist of First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), and Rambo III (1988) Rambo is a United States Army Special Forces veteran played by Sylvester Stallone, whose Vietnam War experience traumatized him but also gave him superior military skills, which he has used to fight corrupt police officers, enemy troops and drug cartels. First Blood is an adaptation of the 1972 novel First Blood by David Morrell.

Episode 120 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the second best Rambo movie? Or is that the 4th best? It's hard to say, and after discussing it for more than 90s minutes, they're still not sure. An unfiltered slice of brilliant 80s bravado or an overblown mess of a movie and a complete vanity project? Truth is, it's probably a bit of both. Listen in as we discuss, what at the time of release, was the most expensive movie of all time, 1988's, Rambo III.
Chris gets a cough button, Coury thinks he looks like everyone else, Chris used his time sick in bed with COVID to watch Rambo III and beat Quackshot on the Genesis, the battery in the PlayStation Vita is the GOAT, but the game library is not, Hot Shots Golf is probably the greatest golf franchise of all time, the Switch joycons are not conducive to playing Doom, modern gaming involves too much paperwork, the guys discuss Tim Rogers' Action Button show, a good memory can be a curse, Coury got to be a guest lecturer at an elementary school, Chris values his wife's love of potatoes, the guys talk about the importance of shared hobbies between spouses, Coury is the low man on the totem pole in his own home, and of course, Does it Slap or Should We Yeet It?

We conclude this year's exciting March-ial Arts Madness run with writer/director/producer Sheldon Lettich (Bloodsport, Lionheart, Double Impact, Only the Strong), who blew us away with his stories about serving our country as a US Marine in Vietnam, being "the man behind Jean-Claude Van Damme", and his new biography, Sheldon Lettich: From Vietnam to Van Damme, written by Corey Danna (click the link to purchase). Sheldon has had a hand in countless films from the 80's and 90's, including Russkies, Rambo III, The Order, Perfect Target, The Last Patrol with Dolph Lundgren, and Only the Strong with Mark Dacascos. You will also hear about how he saved the film, Cyborg. We go deep! We discuss his first short film, "Firefight" (1986), which helped launch the careers of future notables, Brian Thompson, brothers Phillip and Simon Rhee, and the real Frank Dux (who Bloodsport is based on). The film has been remastered and can be watched for free over on Viking Samurai's YouTube channel. And speaking of Frank Dux, while it is now common knowledge that he was a fraud and most of Bloodsport was a lie, you will definitely want to hear Sheldon's take on the real Frank. Sheldon also announces that a Special Edition Blu-ray of Bloodsport is coming out soon! And to hear our patrons amazing questions for Sheldon, check out our exclusive Patreon segment, "$2, 6 Questions". www.patreon.com/twodollarlatefee Order t-shirts and stickers mentioned in previous episodes from Preserved Dragons here!
