American women "we're here to change this" but John don't believe things can be changed. "Go home", he says to her. It's pouring rain. "Maybe you've lost your faith in people" i wonder if that got to him?
@HenriBlock: C'mon, don't be like that... Audience participation is the only way to stay sane when watching 80's action - and this IS 80's as in the genre. I don't care what the release date says. Unless Rambo keeps his shirt on and the leading lady is proactive. Then we can discuss if this is more 90's.
Rotten bodies in the rice paddies at the raided village. "Brother I ain't never seen some shit like this" the mercs hold their breath cos of the stink.
Rambo takes the claymore and goes his own way, so as to lure in the trackers. Lot of shouting into radios in Burmese, no translations given (or needed, I suppose).

Main title, stenciled red letters on black: JOHN RAMBO

Aaaand here's our man, poking snakes with a stick. The music is sentimental, foreboding. He's living in the jungle

Hunts fishes with his trusty bow.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
And they give the fish to monks, how generous of them
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
He's still got the bandana, of xcourse

A snake show in Thailand. "We need a python!" "Fuck off, okay"
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
And here come the whities to disturbe Rambo's peace once again. They want to go to Burma. "I don't go that far north"

John and a cobra superimposed, mmmm

The only subtitled line of dialogue from a villager "Please not my son!"
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The Burmese commander is truly evil, "I will feed you your intestines". Wanna bet on how he's gonna die?

So he does agree to take them upriver.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
He's going to live long and retire to mountains as a buddhist monk! Errr.
1 year, 4 months ago by Suviko
Goddamn this dialogue is on the nose. "You never told us your name" "John" ... "It's complicated"

John is cool... But they want the lady. Uh oh.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So John shoots them. And they fall down in slowmo. Exploding heads.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
"But the people there are being killed like this every dya" "You're not going to change anything" "Please John, please"
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So by my reckoning the årambo death count is now 3 or mb 4

Uplifting strings on the soundtrack, as they come ashore.

"But taking a life is never right" says the irritating American man.

Johnny gets a small cross from the woman, and off they go to hep the repressed.

Paitsi, että kun menin kommentoimaan tätä, niin tää susipaska luulee mun olevan kiinnostunut siitä. Pitää vissiin merkata spammiksi.
@Suviko: If I wanna see (and participate in) Rambo, I'll watch Rambo. In the case I ever wanna watch Rambo, I don't need spoilers.

I just love that huge outboard engine on Rambo's boat.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Why do people always toss in the lighter when torching evidence? Does he have a spare zippo in there somewhere?
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The Americans aee actually doing some good whn Oh Noes! The village is attacked. Exploding huts, ak47s, children shot, stabbed women raped
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Limbs chopped off, a flame thrower. Fast shutter.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The sounds fades out, only music and her gasps
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Back with Rambo. There's a storm rising. Flashback! In b&w, naturally.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The group has never returned. The embassy cannot help.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Stallone's voice is incredible as well. It's like a dinosaur crunching rocks.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Voiceover: When you're pushed... Killing is as easy as breathing.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So he's off to save them with a bunch of redneck mercenaries. And the ain't getting along.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Their leader is a bald Aussie with a foul mouth.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The Burmese are keeping her captive in a pig sty.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
"Bring that one to the pigs" but his death isn't shown. I'm impressed.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
@HenriBlock: I never realized there could be something to be spoiled after seeing the trailer.
1 year, 4 months ago by Suviko
So there's the baldie and then Schoolboy, the other's don't seem worth knowing.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
There are 100 Burmese soldiers waiting for them. Rambo tags along (quelle surprise). schoolboy's okay with that, baldie not so.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
An old bomb from WWII. Might it come in handy later on? Remember Chekov's Law.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Rotten bodies in the rice paddies at the raided village. "Brother I ain't never seen some shit like this" the mercs hold their breath cos of the stink.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Here come the army. Excecuting more civvies. The merc can only watch so as not to be given away.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Alas Rambo has no such problems, so it's arrows through the head.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Extreme closeup: "This is who we are... Live for nothing but die for something"
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Synchronize watches. Can't remember the last time I saw that in a movie.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
They're now infiltrating the camp. John has taken is natural spot as the leader.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Man it's rainy out there.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So far so good. Releasing the prisoners.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The drums, the drums!
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So the evil leader is a gay paedophile as well. I'll be darned.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Rambo finally gets to her cage, but the time is running out
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
A Burmese soldier takes her away... The others want to leave, even though John is still missing
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Rambo just tore open the man's throat. Ughm.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
And just about as they're about to get caught, Schoolboy saves them.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
The rain has stopped.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
So it's the three of them on their own now. Come morning, all hell breaks loose. Sirens blaring, bloodhounds sniffing.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Baldie runs into a mine.

Rambo takes the claymore and goes his own way, so as to lure in the trackers. Lot of shouting into radios in Burmese, no translations given (or needed, I suppose).
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Rambo the grandpa is still quite physical, but I feel they're playing up his smarts.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Sets a trap with themine. Yup, blows up the old WWII bomb and there's a blastwave the size of a tsunami.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Oh dear, the main group got ccaught. So naturally they're tortured. And lined up to be shot.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
"Nothing we can do" but Rambo can. Like shoot people in half from the technical

Aren't you pissing off other moviegoers with your bright cellphone screen and constant typing?

Rambo's .50cal jams. And now the peaceloving American beat someone to death
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Here comes the cavalry ie. The rebelss
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
There's still the case od the evil leader. Plus now Ramno's boat is toast. And he got hit!

Decapitation
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Suddenly all is quiet
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
But what is this, John just stabs the evildoer. No big showdown.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Who is still alive? John, the woman, and Michael the stone guy.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Some of the mercs as well. John just stands there, looking around, not getting involved.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
He looks troubled. Or relieved. Really hard to telll with Sly the thespian, cos he's so complex.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
okay, I won't spoil the ending
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
There's a samll coda, you see.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Roll credits!
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
@samikki: Not really, cos I chose my spot carefully and the movie's far too loud for anyone to notice my typing
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Image fades to black, credits still rolling.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
I'm leaving, not interested enough too see the credits through.
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
Sounds like some of our editors were there, too.
1 year, 4 months ago by map
Sounds like this is a movie I don't need to see. Thanks for the report :)
1 year, 4 months ago by samikki
I'm quite impressed by the amount of typos (ie. not that many) and throughly embarrassed by the quality of typos (extra apostrophes, urgh!).
1 year, 4 months ago by dst
I reckon reading this reporting in real time was more amusing than watching the actual film would have been, for me at least. Thanks. :)

@suviko: second that
