At the gig I played on Sat they had The Road Warrior followed by Night of the Living Dead (the 1990 Tom Savini one) on the TV screens with subtitles. I was very distracted by both the whole night!

At a previous gig there they were running though the Rambo series. Good music too!

Seem to recall the fourth one being better than 2 or 3.

Took a long time for me to get around to appreciating 'First Blood' which I see as a strong character piece like 'Rocky'. Was always directed towards 2 or 3.

Rambo 4 is a little too much, especially the ending .. oof! they went off the deep end a bit with that one.

I don't actually remember the ending. Only saw it once, soon after it came out, and through a haze of bong smoke  :D

I'll always love III the most as I got snuck into the cinema by the cousin for it when I was 8.
"WHADDA YA SAY JOHN?"
"FUCK 'EM"

1-IV are solid. Whatever the fuck the last one was doesn't count. And it could have been worse than Sly Vs Cartels. One of the scripts was Rambo versus a super soldier/Predator -esque creature.

The delivery of "fuck 'em" is absolutely perfect in that film. Sheer venom.

Quote from: Maggot Colony on May 12, 2025, 10:43:27 AMReally enjoyed Death Wish. Must watch the rest of the films as they're all on Prime.

Definitely the law of diminishing returns (and budgets) when it comes to Death Wish. Bring plenty of cans😂
They're great craic for actor spotting.

I drank a few Peronis while watching it. Will do the same with the sequels, but might bring heavier weaponry like Leffe.

Definitely didn't expect to see Jeff Goldblum mouthraping a woman!

You'll have Bill from Bill & Ted and Troi from Star Trek TNG in the next one😂

Troi gets 'em out too (briefly), if I remember rightly.

The reverse mohawks on the gang members is hilariously ridiculous.
Totally OTT turn by the gang leader. Isn't he from Dublin?
Only other flick I know him from is Willow.

His dad is The Old Man in Robocop and  the head of Silver Shamrock Novelties in Halloween 3

Dan O'Herlihy, no way! I never made the connection. I love the gang leader in DW3, plus the whole gang and setup in general. It's every stereotype you ever loved, lived to the fullest. Closest thing to Streets of Rage: The Movie.

isn't it the end of the second Rambo where it's dedicated to the nomad people of Afghanistan?

Rambo2 had him freeing POW's in Vietnam.

ah yea, got those two mixed up. All guns blazing in 2 and 3!

Watched Warfare tonight. Fairly good actually, full on intense. Far better than Civil War anyway.
