I always find myself tuning out of this one, despite all the impressive practical mayhem on show. It’s astounding to think that there are actual human beings involved in some of those stunts. Unfortunately everything is beefed up, oiled down and sandblasted to the point where I just don’t give a shit. A macho masterpiece maybe, just not my preferred brand of 80s Stallone. At the end of Rambo: First Blood Part II you have to wonder, where the hell do you go from here? Rambo III provides the answer: nowhere interesting.
