Sylvester Stallone Rocks, what a powerful performance. Released in 1985 and still, this film hasn't lost its freshness in 2024. One of those actions film you will always remember.

Rambo: First Blood Part II is a film that knows exactly what it is and doesn't apologize for it. It's a brash, loud, and explosive action flick that delivers exactly what it promises: mindless entertainment with a patriotic heart. If you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned, gun-toting, explosion-fest with a touch of emotional resonance, then strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Classic. Although I didn’t realize how many Japanese, Chinese and Korean people were part of the Vietnamese army.

“What you choose to call hell, he calls home.” _Rambo: First Blood Part II_ is one of most iconic action films of the ‘80s. Vietnam vet John Rambo is offered a presidential pardon in exchange for going on a covert mission to recon a possible POW camp in Vietnam. The script by Sylvester Stallone and James Cameron is surprisingly thoughtful for an action film; especially in addressing topical issues such as missing Vietnam POWs and the failed reintegration of Vietnam vets. The action sequences are also especially impressive, and add a lot of excitement and energy to the film. Incredibly entertaining and powerful, _Rambo: First Blood Part II_ redefined the ‘80s action hero.

This is the movie that made Rambo a legend. The lone wolf who is a one man army that takes on the north Vietnamese army in order to save American POWs. The bow he uses to fight machine guns has become legendary.

Stalone himself said about _First Blood II_ it's more like a fantasy. The script was supposed to be an attempt to right a wrong and to show how it should have been (took this from an interview on a DVD). He also said it didn't work out.
The dumbest move was to bring the Russians in. That doesn't work for me because at that moment it became a typical east vs west cold war confrontation and the whole Vietnam thing took a backseat. Yes, I know the Russians were involved behind the scenes historically. Still, this shouldn't be part of the movie.
Something about Stalones acting that was oftentimes portrayed as one dimensional and Rambo himself being kind of stupid. After Stalones explanation that John Rambo is basically an adolescent in a man´s body who stopped developement when he joined at the age of 19 I think all this was intensional.
Beside that it is still very watchable. What really works in favor of the movie is that all you see on screen was done in pratical shooting. Which ages so much better than anything CGI. Even better in HD.
But it stays a good step behind part one.

"To survive a war, you gotta become war.

The scene were Rambo, as a prisoner, tells Murdock he's coming to get him, is the stuff I love in action movies. Such a bad ass scene!

Anyway, seeing Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) hiding in the mud to kill someone, blast the shit out of someone with a arrow with a exploding tip, murdering tons of bad guys and being a great shirtless red band wearing one-man army is just fun to watch. We even get a guy that is so scared of Rambo he just jumps out of the helicopter when Rambo approaches him. We never get to see if he even had a parachute on. I want to believe he didn't have one.

I'm still baffled the direction First Blood Part II took after the amazing First Blood. He kills no one in the first part but Rambo thought by the time part II hit, hold my beer.

Yeah, Rambo: First Blood Part II was a fun rewatch and it is the Rambo everyone pictures when thinking about the guy.

Good and shows how real world look like... pussys :D

This is hell, my God, I'm scared!
