Going Rambo in PNG

Everybody's favorite Vietnam vet with post-traumatic stress disorder is back. lol way a way to kick start


Rambo is a series of popular action films starring Sylvester Stallone, based on the characters created by David Morrell in his novel First Blood.

The films are: First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), and Rambo (2008). The films focus on a troubled Vietnam War veteran, John James Rambo, who is greatly skilled in all aspects of survival, weaponry, hand-to-hand combat and guerrilla warfare.

In summary the movie was about home coming

At the beginning of this film, Rambo is residing in Thailand. He is approached by a group of missionaries who want him to transport them to Burma. He initially declines, but is convinced by another missionary, Sarah, to take them up there. While traveling, a group of pirates stop them and demand Sarah in exchange for passage. After negotiations fail, Rambo kills the pirates. Another missionary, Michael, says that they will be coming back on land and will not need his assistance.

When the missionaries fail to return, their pastor comes to Rambo and asks him for assistance in guiding mercenaries to rescue the villagers. Rambo obliges. The rescue mission goes well until the Burmese army realizes that their hostages are gone and recaptures most of them. Rambo hijacks a .50-caliber truck-mounted gun and successfully defeats the army, but at the end only two missionaries, Sarah, and Michael are alive. In the last scene of the movie, Rambo returns to the United States to a farm with the words R. Rambo on the mailbox.




First Blood (its a long road) is one of the great action movies of all time. The latest RAMBO would blow your mind. The direction is amazing; frankly did not expect any action in this 60+ old actor's beefed up muscles movie. The direction is first class. Stallone has actually established the villain to be very violent, brutal commander that we actually wish every second that he should be killed as brutally as possible. The action scenes were so brutal that there were lot of "aaarghh" in the theater even the one sitting beside me cringed. The way the bullets drive through the bodies in the climax was pretty gore. In the end very well directed movie with lots of bullets flying around. I wish to narrate some scenes here but they have to be watched on screen to get the feel. Must watch for every one who are strong at heart.
