Rambo III: Explosions, Muscles, and...Afghanistan?!
Okay, so I just re-watched Rambo III for like, the billionth time and I gotta say, it's still a total blast! Yeah, I know, it's cheesy AF, but that's part of the charm, right? Like, Rambo just chilling in a monastery? I almost choked on my popcorn, lol. Then Trautman rolls up with the whole Afghanistan mission thing and you KNEW stuff was about to get real. The action is so over-the-top, it's hilarious. I mean, the helicopter scene? Come ON! The horses? The explosions? It's pure 80s action movie goodness. And the one-liners? "I'm your worst nightmare" - classic! I can't even pretend this is some deep, thought-provoking film, but sometimes you just need to turn your brain off and watch Sly Stallone single-handedly take down the Soviet army. What I think is the one thing most people can't see past is the 'history' of it all, that this was made right before the Soviet's pulled out of Afghanistan, and that 'context' gives it a bit of a weird vibe now, but honestly, it's just a fun movie. Anyone else love this one as much as I do? What's your favorite ridiculously over-the-top moment?
