After the success of Rocky Balboa in 2006, sixteen years after Rocky V in 1990, Sylvester Stallone decided to make a sequel to his other franchise character that made him a Super-Hero to guys like Danny in the 1980's ......John Rambo!
Like Rocky Balboa, I was a little nervous and curious as to what the story could possibly be about.
With Rocky Balboa, Stallone managed to write a believable story (in Danny's opinion) that ended the Rocky series on a much better note than Rocky V did.
So Stallone decided to end the Rambo series on a better note also.
Last Rambo Movie?" Well, so far it seems like this will be the last Rambo movie. You never know what may happen in the future. If this Fourth Rambo movie makes a ton of money, don't be shocked if you see a Fifth Rambo movie in the theaters sometime soon. |
This new movie is the 4th in the Rambo series. The last one was way back in 1988....Danny was only 12 years old at the time!
Back in the Patriotic 1980's, guys like Stallone and Schwarzenegger could destroy an entire army all by themselves.
Well back in 1988, Rambo did get a little bit of help in destroying the Soviet Army from the Afghan Mujahideen. (new window)
The Afghan Mujahideen really did exist and eventually controlled the government in Afghanistan until they were overthrown in the 1990's......by The Taliban!
THAT'S A TRUE STORY!!!!
One thing you must realize about this new RAMBO Movie is that there is.....
"Plenty Of Gruesome Death For
The Whole Family To Enjoy"
The Whole Family To Enjoy"

I was very, very Eager and excited to see the new Rambo movie.
It was like a Beautiful, but Violent, trip down memory lane for Danny.
Did Stallone end the Rambo series as well as he ended the Rocky series?
Danny says, "Absolutely!"
Like Frank Miller's "300" in 2007..... Rambo is an Action movie that isn't Ashamed of being an Action Movie.
It's an Action Movie that isn't Pretending to be anything else except an Action Movie.
It's a real, genuine R-rated Action Movie!
No Pansy, Kid-Friendly PG-13 Garbage!
There's Bloody Killings Everywhere in this REAL ACTION MOVIE!
Rambo is one of the bloodiest, most violent movies I've ever seen! I don't remember the last time I've seen so much Death in a 90 minute movie.
The number of overall Killings in this new Rambo is almost double that of the last Rambo movie in 1988!
236 Killings in 90 minutes! That's gotta be a Record! Check out the Awesome Kill Chart on Firstshowing.net! (new window) |
The ending sequence alone is Nonstop Violence.....Danny is NOT Exaggerating!
The violence was so intense and the explosions so loud.....that it brought the Blood Lust out of Danny!
I was shouting at the screen and make Stabbing and Shooting motions with my arms while witnessing the Unholy Brutality on the Big Screen!
The Thrill of the Slaughter and the Non-Apologetic Violence!
It brought Tears to my eyes.....Tears of Joy!
Back in 1999, I saw my first Bullfight while vacationing in Southern Spain.
And the same Blood Lust took over then too.
I was Screaming and Hollering like a Wild Man!
And the Bullfighter was a Real Showmen too.....he knew how to toy with the crowd and kill the bull at just the Right Moment!
That's Right.....there are No Animal Rights Pricks in Spain to ruin their Time-Honored Traditions!
The Bullfighter even cut off the Bull's Ear and tossed it in my direction .....and everyone in the area dove for it the way fans dive for Foul Balls at Baseball Games!
Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough.....the Asshole sitting a few rows behind me got to the Ear before Danny did!
I was so Pissed Off.....
The next section of this RAMBO Review is something that I am Very Proud of!
I was in a very Creative Mood when I wrote.....
"Danny's Creative Catchphrases"
Copyright © 2007 Lions Gate, All Rights ReservedSylvester Stallone is showing modern Wimpy Action Movies how to do it RIGHT!
There's no delving into the Tortured Pasts of any of the characters.
Rambo doesn't have much to say; he doesn't engage in Mindless Chit Chat!
If Rambo does have anything to say.....He Says It With Bullets!!!!
The Fifty Caliber Machine Gun does all the talking for Rambo!
When Dozens of Bodies are Torn apart by Machine Gunfire.....that's how you know that Rambo got his Point-of-View across Loud and Clear!
If you've already seen the first three Rambo movies, then you don't need to be reminded that this guy is an Accomplished ARTIST with his Knife, Bow & Arrow and Machine Gun.
• The Marlon Brando of Apocalypse!
• The Al Pacino of Intensity!
• The Robert De Niro of Rage!
• The William Sherman of Obliteration!
• The Duke of Death!
• The Colonel of Carnage!
• The Emperor of Extermination!
• The Monk of Mass Murder!
• The Sergeant of Slaughter!
• The Master of Disaster!
• The Prophet of Butchery!
• The Professor of Chaos!
Basically, Danny is saying that Rambo is Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Good at Killing Things that Piss Him Off!
Hold on, I have some more.....
• The Tiger Woods of Annihilation!
• The Lance Armstrong of Domination!
• The Tom Brady of.....Never Mind!
On January 25, 2008:
Tom Brady lost Super Bowl XLII to my
Beloved NY Giants and he lost The Perfect Season!
So Danny says, "Tom Brady Sucks.....
and his other Super Bowl Wins are now Forgotten!"

"The World Is A Pretty Vicious Place"
"The World Is A Pretty Vicious Place"
Copyright © 2007 Lions Gate, All Rights ReservedPhew!!!
Danny had Fun coming up with those Beautiful, Ingenious Catch-Phrases!
Rambo is Danny's Hero.....he inspires Danny!
Rambo has Balls of Steel.....wimps like Tom Cruise wish they could get a glimpse of Rambo's Balls to see what Real Balls look like!
Ya know.....I think I just went too far with the whole "Balls" Thing! I'm gonna stop talking about "Balls" Right Now before I write something that's really gonna to Embarrass & Confuse Danny!  |
Stallone is giving the Action Movie Fans the Action Movie that Action Movie Fans want to see!
There's also no time given into delving into the past of the Main Villain. This movie does not try to Humanize the Bad Guys in any way.....it's not concerned with their "Motivations!"
The bad guys do some Pretty Nasty Things to the innocent villagers in this movie.
• Torture
• Gang Rapes
• Executions
• Feeding them to Wild Animals and
• Making a Game out of how many Villagers they can Blow Up.
Copyright © 2007 Lions Gate, All Rights ReservedStuff like this actually do occur in countries torn apart by Civil Wars that span Decades! A few countries in Africa come to mind.
Violent Thugs take over and do whatever they want. They have Guns and they attack the people who Don't have Guns.....it's not exactly Rocket Science!
They're like Wolves in the Hen House.....it's Easy Pickings.
I don't give a shit what they're Childhood was like that drove them to commit acts of Evil against Innocent people.....if I had the opportunity, I'd shoot 'em dead and feel good about myself for doing it!
There are people who Behave like Dangerous Animals and will Kill whoever they feel like.
If they Think and Behave like Dangerous Animals.....then that's Exactly what they are.
If you see an Animal..... |
When you try to Humanize them, you forget that they're Dangerous Animals and it Distracts you from doing what you have when you are Confronted by a Dangerous Animal.....Exterminate Them!
I'm not interested in finding any "Common Ground" with people like these .....I want them to DIE!
And apparently, Rambo agrees with me!
|
Just like the three previous Rambo movies.....
"The Plot Of The Fourth Rambo Movie
Is Not Complicated"
Is Not Complicated"
Copyright © 2007 Lions Gate, All Rights ReservedThe story in Rambo is very simple.
Rambo is a Snake Catcher/Fishing Boat captain in Thailand. Some missionaries from Colorado hire him to take them upriver to Burma to help the innocent victims of the civil war going on there.
Rambo knows it's a mistake to do this and he tries to tell them. But these missionaries have this Idealist Garbage in their brains that they can actually make a difference in this country.
They don't bring any weapons with them.....so they're Completely Unprepared for what's going to happen to them.
When *Rambo* finds out that these missionaries have disappeared, he joins a mercenary team that's been hired to find them.
And we see pretty quickly that *Rambo* isn't ready to retire to Florida and become an AARP Member of the quite yet!
For those of you who don't know, the AARP is a Real Organization. It stands for American Association of Retired Persons.
Does *Rambo* look like he's ready to Retire yet?
The Mercenaries constantly refer to *Rambo* as The Boatman. This made me picture *Rambo* as the Ferryman who carried souls over the River Styx into Hades in the old Greek Myths. Afterwards, I found out that *Rambo* creator, David Morrell, thought the exact same thing. |
Copyright © 2007 Lions Gate, All Rights ReservedThis movie is more realistic then either Rambo II or III. It's more like the First Blood movie.
*Rambo* can't beat the bad guys alone....he actually does need the help of these Mercenaries to find these Missionaries.
He doesn't have his famous Army issued "Killing Knife" from the first three movies....this time he custom designs his own "Killing Machete!"
There's also No Romantic Sub-Plot at all. That would just distract from the Carnage.....and we wouldn't want that, would we???
And Stallone doesn't give any stupid one-liners in this movie....Thank God!
He also doesn't run around with his shirt off!
Remember, Stallone is in his sixty's!
He's still in great shape.....but he doesn't have the 5% Body Fat from the last *Rambo* movie. He looks more like a Football Player.....and less like a Chippendale's Dancer.
Allow me to Paraphrase what Stallone said when he was questioned as to how Exactly he got so buffed up for this movie.....
Sylvester Stallone Says,
"H.G.H. Is A-OK"
"H.G.H. Is A-OK"
Stallone admitted to using Human Growth Hormone to get prepared for this movie.
Read about it on Fox News! (new window)
Stallone says that HGH is not Steriods and that is doesn't have the same Side Effects as Steroids.
Stallone says that there's nothing wrong with taking HGH.....he says that the public has been deliberately Mis-Informed.
Danny is going to Investigate it further.
That's how I Operate.....I take the time to research something on my own and I come to my own conclusion.
Danny keeps his own Counsel!
He doesn't let Sportswriters, Political Witch Hunts and other Ignorant People make the decision for him.
The world is Full of Preachy Assholes who would Love to do your thinking for you. They just Love to Act like they have ALL the Answers!
The Last Thing they want is for you to Educate yourself, Think for yourself and Decide for yourself.....I'm sure Every Single One of You can think of a few people in your personal lives who Match this Description!
If I find out that HGH really does have bad side effects, than I won't use them.
But I'll make the decision based on my own Investigating.....Thank You Very Much!

No matter what, Stallone still had to hit the gym BIG TIME to get his muscle.
HGH doesn't Magically build the muscle for you.
I'm talking about Intense Cardio and Strength Workouts in the Morning & Afternoon.....SIX DAYS A WEEK!
Most people won't even do the Minimum 20 minutes a day for 3 days a week!
I think it would have been Impossible for Stallone to bulk up to play *Rambo* again without HGH.
The older you get, the harder it is to Lose Fat and Build Muscle naturally because of the body's Naturally Lower Metabolism and Naturally Lower Testosterone Level.
So whenever you see an Older Sports Star outplaying a Younger Sports Star.....chances are good (not certain) they're getting a Little Extra Help on the side.
Check out hghlook.com (new window) to get more information.
If that site isn't enough, Google the keyword "HGH" and do some more investigating.
Of course, this Fourth *RAMBO* movie would not exist if it weren't for.....
"The Original Creator Of Rambo"
Copyright © 2000 Grand Central Publishing,
All Rights Reserved
The character of *Rambo* was originally created by author David Morrell in his 1972 novel, First Blood.
The novel version of First Blood is much different than the movie version of First Blood!
Read it for yourself and see what I mean.
David Morrell is one of my Favorite Action/Adventure Writers.
His work always has Great Characters and Great Action!
David Morrell gave the new *Rambo* movie a Very Good Score!
He is quoted as saying, "I Was Blown Away!"
David Morrell has a lot more to say about *Rambo* and his other projects on his website at davidmorrell.net (new window)
