Rambo (2008) Modern Cinema Review - Old Man Orange Podcast 694

Spencer and Dave are continuing their Rambo marathon, this time with part 4, John Rambo from 2008. Which might be the most violent, widely theatrically released movie of all time. The late 2000s to early 2010s was a glorious time of film, where great violence was pretty much guaranteed in every movie you watched. This sort of petered out in the mid 2010s with many movies going back to a PG 13 style. But for a short while movies were delivering NC 17 content in Rated R films. Punisher Warzone, Expendables, Grindhouse, Tropic Thunder, and of course Rambo to name a few.

In this film, Sylvester Stallone is back to wear the bandana and save the day, 20 years post Rambo 3. Once again he is trying to live a peaceful, somewhat retired life. But just when he thought he was out, they bring him back in as some Christian Americans want to try and bring some aid (and force some Christ) on the local Karen people. But the Burma militia has other plans and carnage ensues. Next Rambo is manning the boat for some Mercenaries but they have no idea what they are truly getting into. Rambo pulls out his bow, kicks some ass, and let's everyone know who's boss.

This film fires on all cylinders. And is up there as not only the top tier of Rambo experiences but just action movies in general. Something every action movie fan needs to see. We just watched the Extended Cut version and talk a little compare and contrast between it and the original theatrical version. It's similar to Sly's Rocky 4 director's cut, where there are some cool extra scenes added in but then some others taken out and rearranged. Making us want to see a third cut that just has it all in one.

Join us as we break it all down in this spoiler-filled discussion! Then get sidetracked as usual with other movies, games, comics, and life stories. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into fascinating films.
