re: Finally watched First Blood and Rambo:FB2 for the first time - solid

Not sure which film came out first, but 1985 was the peak pissing match between Stallone and Arnold.

There's a reason Commando and Rambo II are basically the same film.... One man against an entire army... And the star kills everyone.

First Blood is a real movie, though. It's about PTS and Vietnam vets and bigotry and the expendable nature of the war machine.

The rest of the Rambos are just Stallone mindless kill fests. Entertaining... But pretty shallow and transparent.

First Blood 2 though is still incredibly rewatchable.
