This week, back in 1985, People Magazine had a story that attempted to count how many people Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) killed in the movie "Rambo: First Blood Part II", which came out a month earlier in May 1985. For those of you who don't know, there are a total of four Rambo movies:
"First Blood" (1982)
"Rambo: First Blood Part II" (1985)
"Rambo III" (1988)
"Rambo" (2008)
People Magazine say that 44 people were killed by Rambo (including 70 explosions that killed an undetermined number of people). That equals one person dying every 2.1 minutes in the second Rambo movie!!!
We are having problems finding this story on the web, but we did find a video that shows ALL of Rambo's kills from ALL four Rambo movies*.
*Note: For some reason, embedding is disabled so you will have to do with the video above that shows all of his kills from Rambo's 1-3. If you want to see Rambo 4 included in the death count, please watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sFDUcIttos
Stallone had several tough guy roles featuring one name characters. Rambo, of course. and Rocky. But dont forget Cobra.
ReplyDeleteIn Cobra, the Stallone character was a tough law enforcement cop. He had a line about "youre the disease, and I'm the cure." If I remember it correctly, lots of shoot em up, explosive action.
