The M72 Light Anti-Armor Weapon aka LAW has a backblast deemed dangerous 44 yards behind the shooter when used in an open place. So yeah, everyone in Rambo's helicopter died.
Yep, fired a few in the Marines. That would breach the fuel lines, tank and go kaboom. At a minimum, the people behind him are dead. I laughed out loud when I saw this movie. Also, LAWs don't go, " whooosh", but go "BOOM!!!!!" when fired.
Never has a Franchise changed what it was fundamentally about more than how they changed John Rambo as a character between First Blood and This. He doesn’t even feel like the same guy honestly.
In the David Morrell novel on which the first movie is based Rambo is actually killed at the end. He's much more violent in the novel than in the first movie, so I guess you could say the Rambo of the second movie is closer to the character created by Morrell. Morrell also wrote a novelization of the sequel.
Sort of. Book Rambo is sequels Rambo in terms of violence. But he’s First Blood Rambo in terms of being psychologically broken and traumatized (even more so actually).
I think that most Men have not understood the beauty of Rambo 2. It is all about Rage, it is about the moment where you awake from the lies the people, the Government and friends are leaving you alone in the shit. It is about the deep pain, which you feel, when you recognize that the only person you can really rely in this world is YOU. You have to go through the Rage and the Pain. You have to destroy all the demons inside you. On a metaphorical level, this is exactly what Rambo is doing. After destroying everything the walls alone his way. This is exactly the process of an awaken person.
I was in sixth grade when I went to see this with a mate. When we lined up for a ticket the seller expected we were going to a kids movie. When we said "Rambo" he looked to see if we had parents there with us, tilted his head, thought for a second and handed us the tickets. I was pumped! Loved every second of this movie.
@14:42, you are correct. The back blast from that LAW anti-tank rocket has a 30 degree cone of danger, going back 15 meters (another 25m caution zone); Anyone caught in that area could be killed (especially in confined areas) or more likely, severely injured.
Uncommon Valor (1983) is a really good movie in the "veterans going back to rescue Vietnam P.O.W.'s" subgenre. That movie has a great cast with actors like Gene Hackman, Patrick Swayze and Reb Brown. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.
@@RedEyeReviews It's a much-better movie than "First Blood Part II." "Uncommon Valor" is based on real-life attempts by Bo Gritz's expeditions into Vietnam (funded by Ross Perot) to get proof of Americans in Vietnam. I would definitely recommend it before those other two movies.
(Rambo grabs a snake and music swells) "I give my life, not for honor, but for you, I'm still in a dream, Snake eater!!!!!!!!!" Also, that photocopier committed some truly atrocious war crimes! It had it coming! :P
8:03 That muddy AK is now at display at Stallone's restaurant, in the same muddy condition it was depicted in the movie. In fact, that particular shot of that Maadi ARM is a legend among AK fanboys.
I grew up with this movie. It was well accepted as eighties kid knowledge that Rambo was too good. He was down on the cool scale, but still he was godlike anyway. Every scene could be recreated from memory when playing war if needed. Imagine if realism was involved. Every scene would have four thousand insects
Thank you patrons for picking this gem. I loved Rambo movies growng up and i still love them as an adult. First Blood Part II is probably my favorite in the franchise. What you call hell, he calls it home.
Love the Rambo movies. Couldn’t understand the backlash toward the most recent one, thought it was awesome. Berkoff was awesome in this, Beverly Hills Cop, A Clockwork Orange, even the pretty abysmal Fair Game.
You handles this all time action classic well. just enough to still keep it red eye review material but you cut it some slack. that my friend is appreciated.
When you said that "they ran back through the jungle" and then again "they run off into the jungle" all I could think of each time was that old CCR song that goes _better run through the jungle_ 🙂
I prefer Sly Stallone than Arnie as an 80's action star. Also Rambo 2 compared to Rambo 1 is totally different tone. Starting from a thriller drama about a PTSD nam soldier ending up as a cartoon action hero that later have cartoons and videogame.
Second time watching this and the little clips you put in from other media that highlight the absurdity are hilarious, one of the best parts of the channel. Going from The Office to old Mel Brooks movies shows a broad range too, it's good stuff.
thanks for another great review. you should do the new Rambo movie, I watched about ten minutes of it and changed the channel. 0:19 I love the scene right before he says "glad you could drop in" where he disables a semi truck with his 38 snub nose.
00:49 I laughed so hard at your editing of these one liners and that end one just cracked me up so hard, my tummy hurt! I had to pause it to stop laughing before continuing. :D 🤣
Rambo First Blood 2 is one of the most memorable action war movie in the 80s in which the explosion-arrow made its way to become the most awesome thing to all kids till this days
I used to watch this VHS all the time when I was 5 years old in 91. This movie, predator and little shop of horror were my 3 favorite movies when I was 5 watched them all the time over and over again.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Sly's movies! Stoked that you reviewed this one! How do I enjoy the movies even more AFTER your reviews?? You'd think that tearing these movies apart would have the opposite affect...effect....damn English language. Also, now I have your voice in my head when I watch these movies, so thanks for that.
Big ups to the patrons, they’re on fire with the movies they’re voting for. Branching out into Stallone movies is a smart choice. Even though he’s actually a smarter guy than people often give him credit for and he’s an accomplished film maker in his own right his movies have a ton of comedy gold to be dug up in reviews. Also that Asian lady/love interest in this movie is freakin hot. Shame she had to die and become fuel for the protagonists anger. I would have liked to see her hang around a little bit longer. Ah but the movie wouldn’t be the same if it ends with him walking off into the sunset with some hottie, he’d be stepping on Commando’s turf if he did that.
I only discovered you a couple of weeks ago, but you quickly became one of my favorite channels, love the nostalgia, and comedy...if you haven't reviewed these yet, might I suggest "no retreat, no surrender 2, and 3...they are right up your alley....also, I must say I was surprised that you passed on the chance to make a joke of the fact that upon returning with the P.O.Ws Rambo knocks the hell out of Sensei John kreese.... anyway, nice work, and keep em coming!.
14:36 First of all, when he presses the trigger of the M72 LAW it actually is a shot of firing the RPG-7 he fired to the boat before. Also, yes the backblast of the LAW would crisp fry the entire crew of the Huey Rambo is in. Also, it's hilarious that Russians and Vietnamese are using UH1 Hueys, M72 LAWs, and M60E4s, all American weapons throughout the movie. The bad guy helo is a French Puma, mocked up as a Russian Mi-24 Hind, the best attack helicopter of the world when the movie came out
The Vietnamese military used captured American and South Vietnamese equipment after the war including hundreds of aircraft. It is too bad the movie production could not get a real Hind because that is a sexy beast.
Awesome video, that was hilarious, can't wait for more of Stallone gems, need to see a mountain climbing review of the Cliffhanger, Judge Dredd and Stop! Or my Mom will shoot.
Rambo- First Blood= great psychological/character drama that masks itself as an actionthriller and also manages to get across some social commentary on how the US treated the Vietnam Vets. Rambo II = unapologetic 80's action-cheese fest, with some amazing set pieces, that spawned a gazillion of imitations. Rambo III = same as Part Deux, but now with even bigger set pieces, moar explosions, moar *DAKKA* and bare-chested Stallone. John Rambo (Rambo IV) = tries to be more of a serious and super grimdark war movie. Doesn't succeed 100% but is pretty good overall. Also .cal 50 Browning goes *DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA* ,this scene alone is worth the price of omission. Rambo- Last Blood= Wants to be a serious cartel thriller/drama ala ''Sicario'' but fails completely. It's mostly boring af and only the final showdown is worth watching. To sum up: watch the first, if you want a really good movie, Part IV is also pretty decent. Watch Parts II & III if you want some great 80's action movie cheese. Avoid Part V, because it's mostly boring.
It's my understanding that getting a purple heart is based on medic logs. Everytime a medic treats someone for anything in the field, they have to fill out a form on it. Then these forms are submitted to someone who reviews them. And, during combat operations, pretty much rubber stamps a purple heart commendation on them. So, in theory, a guy can get a purple heart for a cut on his finger.
@@RedEyeReviews Back in the day (Like 1700's) The PH was a medal for Valor. Now we just call it the Enemy Marksmanship Medal. But yeah, some people get em for ridiculous shit. Or they just make some shit up. I've seen that too
@@99bimmer Yes. The PH is based on a purple ribbon George Washington gave for bravery during the Revolutionary War. That's why his image is on the medal.
Cool channel, I'm enjoying it a lot, although I think you're picking nits in places :) The reason Rambo is able to find his destination even though he's 20 miles away is because he has a compass in the hilt of his knife. You know, little gadget that tells you which direction to go ? It's what we boomers had to use in the 80s before iPhones were invented. You can even seen him taking a look at it @5:32. PS - anyone else know why, when I maximize the video while RedEye is playing, it tells me to "press ECSC to exit full screen" ? Weird, must be a software glitch ;)
Actually her accent totally makes sense. Like Thai, Vietnamese doesn't use definite articles and prepositions all the time the way we do in English..they are usually only necessary at the beginning of a conversation and taken for granted after that.
The '80s action movie most '80s action movies aspired to be. James Cameron is credited as one of this movie's writers, but I wonder how much of his script ended up being used? One thing: Rambo didn't kill anyone (intentionally, at least) in First Blood. Only one cop died, after he fell out of a helicopter Rambo threw a rock at. PS - Do we get to win this time?
@@A_Toastonawhiteplate i feel compelled to ask the reason the majority of the words in your name are not spaced. it's surely because this is a very popular name that i have been asleep on, despite it being a great name.
Biggest stuff up I saw when it came out was why Troutman is wearing Olive Drab and not Woodland Camo, not like you decide to stick with the uniform of your personal choice.
To answer your question: Rambo was special forces on an A-Team behind enemy lines, he would absolutely know where everyone is at battalion strength on the battlefield.
Part two had one advantages over others films in the franchise, by far best soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith. Imagine me as 11 years old kid in cinema while intro rolls and I hear that iconic rattlesnake sound from vibraslap,I was just mesmerised by pure awesomeness of whole music intro.
I'm glad you added Stallone to your reviews. He's made a lot of great movies, many that are criminally underrated. Might I suggest "Victory" in which he plays soccer against the Nazis during WW2 and "Rhinestone" in which he sings country music with Dolly Parton.
"Murdock,..........I'm coming to get you!!" One of the best lines in Action Cinema History, followed by one of the best action sequences ever!!!!
The M72 Light Anti-Armor Weapon aka LAW has a backblast deemed dangerous 44 yards behind the shooter when used in an open place. So yeah, everyone in Rambo's helicopter died.
Lol I KNEW it! That thing looked way too dangerous
Yep, fired a few in the Marines. That would breach the fuel lines, tank and go kaboom. At a minimum, the people behind him are dead. I laughed out loud when I saw this movie. Also, LAWs don't go, " whooosh", but go "BOOM!!!!!" when fired.
That's why you yell back blast area clear before firing and get confirmation that it is in fact clear. That absolutely was not clear haha.
Never has a Franchise changed what it was fundamentally about more than how they changed John Rambo as a character between First Blood and This.
He doesn’t even feel like the same guy honestly.
In the David Morrell novel on which the first movie is based Rambo is actually killed at the end.

Sort of. Book Rambo is sequels Rambo in terms of violence. But he’s First Blood Rambo in terms of being psychologically broken and traumatized (even more so actually).
you should check out what an absolute prick they turned john mcclane into in die hard 5.
That was a pretty solid Sly Stallone impression.
Thank you
I think that most Men have not understood the beauty of Rambo 2.
It is all about Rage, it is about the moment where you awake from the lies the people, the Government and friends are leaving you alone in the shit. It is about the deep pain, which you feel, when you recognize that the only person you can really rely in this world is YOU.
You have to go through the Rage and the Pain. You have to destroy all the demons inside you. On a metaphorical level, this is exactly what Rambo is doing. After destroying everything the walls alone his way. This is exactly the process of an awaken person.
I was in sixth grade when I went to see this with a mate. When we lined up for a ticket the seller expected we were going to a kids movie. When we said "Rambo" he looked to see if we had parents there with us, tilted his head, thought for a second and handed us the tickets. I was pumped! Loved every second of this movie.
"John Rambo, for the charges of destroying an entire town, millions of dollars of property damage, I'm sentencing you to five years. Adjourned!"
@14:42, you are correct. The back blast from that LAW anti-tank rocket has a 30 degree cone of danger, going back 15 meters (another 25m caution zone); Anyone caught in that area could be killed (especially in confined areas) or more likely, severely injured.
I love how they use a close up of a RPG7 instead of the LAW when he pulls the trigger. Whoops!
I believe that David Morrell's novelization of the film did not include this scene for this very reason
Uncommon Valor (1983) is a really good movie in the "veterans going back to rescue Vietnam P.O.W.'s" subgenre. That movie has a great cast with actors like Gene Hackman, Patrick Swayze and Reb Brown. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.
I have never seen it. Definitely will put it on my list
@@RedEyeReviews Speaking of Frank Stallone, have you reviewed Terror in Beverly Hills (1989) ? That movie is a real comedy goldmine.
Don't think anyone could take Swayze seriously after that rather gay performance in Roadhouse.
I agree. Stallone and Norris ripped off the concept for "First Blood Part II" and "Missing in Action."
@@RedEyeReviews It's a much-better movie than "First Blood Part II." "Uncommon Valor" is based on real-life attempts by Bo Gritz's expeditions into Vietnam (funded by Ross Perot) to get proof of Americans in Vietnam. I would definitely recommend it before those other two movies.
🎶I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun. I fought the law and the law won. I fought the law and the law won. 🎶
Who wrote and performed the end credits song to Rambo First Blood Part 2?
You guessed it. Frank Stallone.
-Norm MacDonald
That final song sounds like something the South Park guys would come up with.
Rambo II is a masterpiece. Stallone is a fuckin legend. Yeah yeah!!
Incredible Stallone impression. 'chef's kiss'
Rambo 2 just make you realize how much they loved killing communist in the 80s and also making using a bow and arrows look so 😎 cool .
Is that your Stallone accent? If so, that's on point Redeye. Great job!
It is! Lol I had many many takes
(Rambo grabs a snake and music swells)
"I give my life, not for honor,
but for you,
I'm still in a dream,
Snake eater!!!!!!!!!"
Also, that photocopier committed some truly atrocious war crimes! It had it coming! :P

Oh that is such a cool added detail! Thank you
15:05
I love it when movies/tv shows show a bunch of brass hitting the floor, but they're all obviously from fired blanks.
That clip with Kevin from the office and the gate clip had me dying from laughter. Another great video.
Thank you so much friend!

Survive a war,you gotta become war...
i like one and two,but part 3 was wtf
@@pickleeggs3340 "Rambo" was fresh "Rambo II" had a touch of James Cameron who was a co author of the story, "Rambo III" was a bit tired.

Thank you! If its an actually good movie. I try not to just make fun of it. But I still like to point out the crazy parts lol
15:50 that song ... what a piece of .. wonderful music, written by Frank-himself!

remember when grocery stores had a toy isle?...i got this set with the green medallion and a compass knife in it from krogers
Only one person dies in first blood 1. And it's a dude who accidentally falls out of a helicopter.
16:00 Frank Stallone song the song at the end of First blood too.
"A bigger string for this necklace" haha! Great Review.
Stallone is so ripped in this movie but in Rambo 3 his body is in the best shape I have ever see a human being.
Man I can’t wait till you do Tango & Cash I freakin love that movie I’m not even sure if it’s my favorite between that and Demolition Man.
Hell yeah!
In the 80's CIA operatives still gave a level of respect to the game and dressed accordingly. Same for NFL coaches.
Rambo- First Blood= great psychological/character drama that masks itself as an actionthriller and also manages to get across some social commentary on how the US treated the Vietnam Vets.
Rambo II = unapologetic 80's action-cheese fest, with some amazing set pieces, that spawned a gazillion of imitations.
Rambo III = same as Part Deux, but now with even bigger set pieces, moar explosions, moar *DAKKA* and bare-chested Stallone.
John Rambo (Rambo IV) = tries to be more of a serious and super grimdark war movie. Doesn't succeed 100% but is pretty good overall. Also .cal 50 Browning goes *DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA* ,this scene alone is worth the price of omission.
Rambo- Last Blood= Wants to be a serious cartel thriller/drama ala ''Sicario'' but fails completely. It's mostly boring af and only the final showdown is worth watching.
To sum up: watch the first, if you want a really good movie, Part IV is also pretty decent.
Watch Parts II & III if you want some great 80's action movie cheese.
Avoid Part V, because it's mostly boring.
I wanted to write smth, but you did it for me. I agree 100%.
I also agree.
The thing was, this was a really enjoyable film.
The director of trashy 70s disaster movies G.P. Cosmatos..
The First Blood novel by David Morrell was just as good as the film from what I heard too!
Also this is to my knowledge thus far (55 videos) that Stallone impersonation is your best one 🤣

That's true. But he did injury quiet a few
The one liners in this movie are amazing though
Apparently the action was done by Cameron and the politics were written by Stallone
@@A_Toastonawhiteplate i feel compelled to ask the reason the majority of the words in your name are not spaced.
it's surely because this is a very popular name that i have been asleep on, despite it being a great name.
Didn't the police chief get shot with an LMG through a ceiling?
@@jackfox9101 He only injured him you can see him at the end being carried away
Biggest stuff up I saw when it came out was why Troutman is wearing Olive Drab and not Woodland Camo, not like you decide to stick with the uniform of your personal choice.
To answer your question: Rambo was special forces on an A-Team behind enemy lines, he would absolutely know where everyone is at battalion strength on the battlefield.
It kinda feels incomplete when you start with the 2nd without having the 1st or even the 3rd.
Either way, great review as always 👍
Man that was a good time to be 10 with the back to the futur, Rambo ,rocky and ghostbuster and the saterday morning cartoon
I don’t know who speaks in more gibberish Stallone or Segal lol can’t wait for these movie reviews lol 😂
Lol maybe that's why they don't act together. Because the subtitle department would quit
I never realised how many similarities there are between the Metal Gear series and Rambo
Part two had one advantages over others films in the franchise, by far best soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.
Imagine me as 11 years old kid in cinema while intro rolls and I hear that iconic rattlesnake sound from vibraslap,I was just mesmerised by pure awesomeness of whole music intro.
"This man must pee bud light" - I mean, don't we all? Isn't that what Bud Light is?
Haha fair point
I'm glad you added Stallone to your reviews. He's made a lot of great movies, many that are criminally underrated. Might I suggest "Victory" in which he plays soccer against the Nazis during WW2 and "Rhinestone" in which he sings country music with Dolly Parton.
thank you for the suggestions! done and done
We don't mention Rhinestone,pick Cliffhanger,Nighthawks,or Demolition Man, instead.
@@robertparks7233 Those are good movies, but they don't have Dolly Parton in them. : )
I think you mean 'Escape to victory ' ...or at least that what it was called in England
@@brendancronin3796 Could be. I might be remembering the name wrong.
Great channel
I cried freedom tears at the end credit song
Thank you!
Steven Berkoff was also in Beverly Hills Cop(1984) and Fair Game (1995). Can you do a review on one of these films later on?
