My favorite random Rambo fact is that the character that became an icon of American strength and power was created by a very nice Canadian guy, David Morrell. Great writer.

Great analysis. I hope your bone spurs are feeling better!

One day you will release a video that I will nitpick to death, but it is not this day. I can find no fault with your analysis or presentation. Spot on perfect as always. Although I do sometimes wonder how long it will be before film schools put out a hit on you, Lindsay and Mikey. They must be losing millions in tuition and fees while the holy trinity of film study share their knowledge with the world for free.

Good watching as always. I confess to being a Rambo fan since there is something in the character that I like more than average action heroes; the brooding, almost child-like sadness that is even present in the later films (until Last Blood anyway, that one was just complete urghh) -- but oh man how I wish we could have had Rambo films, or at least jus the first one, without the problems! I feel Rocky films are similar kind of salad; also brooding, somewhat childlike macho protagonist, and some hints that "hey maybe dedicating your life to this violence sport isn't too healthy?", but then that message ends up drowned in victory celebration, over and over again. Though overall the series remembers that message better than Rambo does the anti-war message.
