Even the word 'Rambo' has become a by-word for muscle-bound, invincible freakiness and has entered the slang lexicon if not quite the Oxford dictionary. Ignoring ...
...bucket load. First Blood tells the tale of drifter John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) as he attempts to visit an old friend who he served with during the Vietnam War. After being informed of his friends demise ('It was cancer, thanks to that Agent Orange stuff' he is told somewhat bitterly by the friends wife), he attempts to seek refuge in a small mountain town, inappropriately called 'Hope'. The sheriff of the town (played with gusto by an excellent ... Read review

Advantages: Your Survival Guide
Disadvantages: Don't be Rambo

...just say that Rambo is the best combat vet I've ever seen. A pure fighting machine with only a desire-to win a war that someone else lost. And if winning means he has to die, he'll die. No fear, no regrets. And one more thing-what you choose to call hell…he calls home." A Vietnam veteran named John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone, Rocky) wanders into a small town called Hope, where he has a run-in with a sadistic sheriff named Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy, ...
...the war. When Rambo snaps and escapes, it begins a manhunt that will almost certainly end in tragedy. When the small sheriff's department realize they are up against a highly trained killer, more people are called in to deal with the threat, including Rambo's old commanding officer, Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna, Body Heat). In Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo is pulled from prison to return to Vietnam. It seems that some American POWs are still ... Read review

Advantages: A superb end to the Rocky Films
Disadvantages: It's another Rocky film, and quite predictable in places

...have seen the other five Rocky films, and by the fifth was pleased that the story had ended. When it came out that this film was to be released, I have to admit that I was very wary of the same old storyline being re-told. You can buy this on Amazon, Ebay, Play.com and other online stores as well as in the shops. I saw this today on Amazon for the princely sum of £5 and as always my advice is to shop around before making your purchase, as you can ...
