      Hollywood collectibles group makes knives from the first 3 Rambo films. I have all of them. They are more of collectors item than actually useful knives but they are worth the price alone just for their nostalgic value. The first 2 have survival kits and a compass just like they do in the first two films and 3rd one has the big Bowie style blade as shown in Rambo 3. But they all look exactly like they do in the Rambo films which is awesome.

    The Rambo series got progressively more over the top since Stallone was going toe to toe with Schwarzenegger who released movies like Predator, Commando, Raw Deal, Red Heat around the same time period. When people think of Rambo movies, I think 3 is what most people think of all the movies are like.

    Stallone almost died decapitated by the helicopter during the attack on the Afghan village when it flew too close to the ground. The horse Rambo rides is the same one Harrison Ford rode in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Originally filmed in Israel but too many production problems made the studio move the filming to Arizona. The “Russian” soldiers were actually US Marines I think.

All of the action was very entertaining, but obviously our favorite scene is when Rambo jumps into a 3 to 4 man tank and plays chicken with that Hind helicopter. He crews that tank by himself. He drives, loads, and guns, and his ass never leaves his seat. We thought this movie was the best comedy ever.

    The timing of this movie was unfortunate... for the movie. The rest of the world was celebrating the end of the Cold War. By the time the movie was in post production, The Soviets were pulling out of Afghanistan. The plucky Mujahadeen fighters that Rambo supported in the movie and that our government supported in their resistance against the Soviets...awkwardly are the same Taliban factions we fought against there for 20 years from 2001 until last year.
    The movie was still a hit but didn't quite do the numbers expected as it felt completely tone-deaf and passe in the newfound spirit of US-Russian detente, and the studio didn't think the character would resonate in the new era.
    The thing is, there's always someone being a dick somewhere and there's somebody that needs help fighting that dick, so, decades later when Stallone was planning to revive the long-dormant franchise, he was determined to not be caught off guard by putting an obsolete political message in his movie again. He contacted various international humanitarian organizations and asked about the parts of the world where crap is happening that the rest of the world should be more aware of, and that research helped them determine the appropriate setting for Rambo in the 21st century.

      Sadly, it has not aged well especially after 9/11. Even Stallone mentioned in the 2003 documentary that when he saw Mikhail Gorbachev kiss Nancy Reagan on tv just weeks before Rambo III’s premiere, he knew the film was in trouble. The timing of its production and release really hurt the movie’s performance aside from how it’s aged 34 years later. Still, it’s very underrated.

    Stallone made this movie because he thought the mainstream news media was deliberately not giving coverage to the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. That reminds me that I saw a PBS documentary that said that, because the mainstream news was looking the other way, the invasion was mainly being covered by independent journalists. I remember two things from the documentary. A Japanese woman who was covering the invasion was killed (I think it was by a mine) and was buried over there (with a great deal of respect) by the Afghan guerillas she was embedded with, and her family asked martial arts instructor who was the only Japanese citizen who in Afghanistan as a volunteer helping the guerillas fight the Soviets to bring her remains back to Japan. He did. The other story I remember was that a journalist whose nationality I can't remember was filming when the guerillas took out a Soviet tank. One of the tank's crew managed to it out of the tank and fell, wounded, at the feet of the journalist. As the Russian lay there, he stretched his hand out pleading for help. In the narration, the journalist said "He asks me for help, and I take his picture. This is war my friend, and you have lost." Even I thought that was coldblooded.

    Mines are used in combat to primarily disable and take out military vehicles including tanks. There’s 2 types: anti personnel mines (primarily claymores) which face toward enemy infantry units and are operated by a clacker to make them detonate. They are filled with a bunch of steel balls that spread out in an arc when it explodes which enables it too take out a multitude of enemy troops that step in front of it. There are also anti tank mines which are driven over. Both mines have their uses in combat. The way anti tank mines are triggered is they have a strike plate on top of them and when it is depressed after being driven over or stepped upon, the mine will detonate. Anti tank mines are primarily used to take out vehicles but they can also defeat infantry units.

    Land mines of that era and many today are triggered by applying pressure to a switch on top of mine. The sides and bottom are safe to touch. Mine fields don't usually get too close to fence perimeter. If a mine of mines go off it will kill the ones stepping on it but not the fence or perimeter defenses.

    I loved the Rambo movies when I was a kid, for the awesome action :) It wasn't until years later that I realized that Stallone made each movie to cover a pressing issue at the time each one was filmed. The first film covered how Vietnam vets were treated at home after the war. The second film covered the situation with POW's in Vietnam. And as you just saw, the third film covers the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. I won't mention what the fourth film covers, since you haven't seen it yet. I have not yet seen the fifth and final movie, but I am sure it also covers a current issue.

    • @mapesdhs597
      @mapesdhs597 ปีที่แล้ว

      The interesting thing about this movie is it was produced far more as a direct propaganda piece than any of the others (hence the close cooperation with US armed forces for supplied materials, men, etc.), but word emerged during production that the USSR was in the process of planning to leave anyway, so the movie's release was brought forward to summer 1988. The Soviets withdrew, part of Gorbechev's reforms, in Feb 1989. It's worth noting that, during this time, those who were to become the founders of various major terrorism groups were already evolving their ideology and methods, including Bin Laden (a UK news reporter travelled with some rebels back then; on one occasion Bin Laden - still an unknown - was with them but sat alone, the other rebels telling the reporter he didn't like foreigners). Suffice to say, the movie portrays a somewhat rosey picture of native culture, etc. (they were hardly likely to mention Batcha Bazi, for example), but that was the nature of the late 1980s, pressure was applied via the public mindset where possible. The cold war had many fronts.
      This doesn't mean it's not a fun movie & suchlike, but the context of when it was made and why is intriguing.

Lou Kramer of Airplane and the original Elliot Ness before Keven Costner), and surprise Patrick Swayze (you know him). Then see Red Dawn (1984), starring Swayze.

Well, that was the propaganda of the day, all the while the CIA was arming Afghanistan in order to prolong the war, in an effort to drain Russia. Strengthening that regime didn't work out so well for the US, because Flash forward just 15 years....and my my how the players had flipped.

    Rambo is a warrior, not a soldier. They sent him back to Vietnam and said that he went home, that's not strictly true. They sent him into an unfinished war, and he started the process of finishing it!
    That is the nature of a warrior, he fights for the end of war, not its continuation!

    You have to get the context of when this movie was released to really appreciate it. It was at the height of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan (1979-1989) and this movie (along with the James Bond movie The Living Daylights) highlighted it to shake the apathy out of people. Sure, there seems to be no emotional impact nowadays but during those times when that was happening and this movie came out, in the Afghan meeting with Rambo when the leader was explaining their side, that was a gut-punch of emotion for me, and I'd wager it was also for most of the movie public that time.

    24:04 - 24:21 - Stallone's new inclusion of comic relief may have had something to do with his competition with Arnold Schwarzenegger: Arnold addressed this years later on the Tonight Show, where he and Sly would compete on who had the best body, who killed the most people on-screen, how creatively the assailants were killed on-screen, and who had the funniest one-liners. Rambo 3 was released after Predator, and Predator's brief moments of dark comedy probably inspired some of the lighter moments in Rambo 3.

Anyway, it seems like history was enjoying playing tricks on Stallone: fighting the Soviets in both "Rocky IV" and this movie . . . then the Soviet Union collapsed. BTW, I think Troutman and Rambo were exchanging quips and wisecracks in this film because they're both warriors, and this is the first time we see them fighting together, in their natural element. Keep going!

    The speech that was given was a real speech. They used every single word to really hit the point home of what the people of Afghanistan were dealing with against Russia at the time. Sylvester Stallone was a little disappointed at the timing of the release of this movie because the cold War had just ended and we were allies with Russia. Now here is this movie showing Rambo killing Russians. Fortunately it all worked out. You will love 4 and 5. It gets way more violent. Unfortunately Col Trautman isn't in them because sadly Richard Crena passed away in the early 2000's. Great reaction
