Maybe spoilers, maybe not. I'm sure a lot of you have read the David Morrell book anyway. I started the book last night, and finished it just now, and it turns out that me and Rambo have a lot in common. We're both ultramacho killing machines despite being just kids. Don't push us... Kid, that was kind of unexpected. The movie of course stars Sly Stallone (36 at the time I think), and it's a great film... deserves more than the 6.8 it got at IMDB. I'm sure a ton of those votes were by biased people who went into the movie with the score a foregone conclusion. The sequels are just absurd of course. Book caught me off guard with the age thing... and also by not making Rambo nearly as sympathetic of a character. Guy's nuts. Calm exterior but posessing the ability to kill 30 guys by himself, with his bare hands (just like me). Really interesting book, two stubborn fuck war vets from different generations going for broke. The ending also was a lot more effective than Sly's incoherent ''social commentary'' at the end of the movie. One of the greyest stories I've read... I guess the movie conditioned me to subconciously cheer for Rambo, but it's hard to when he's being such a... you know, vicious taker of lives and all. First Blood rocks, yes? |

Yeah, that sucked to be that guy. But he had it coming. The part that fucked me up most was the spiked ''trap'' Rambo built slammed into one of the cop's knees. In the book, no need for traps, it's all about kills. |

The movie is pretty cool! I love it when he flips out at the police station. Stalone was once a good actor. Must read the book sometime , i think my dad has it somewhere. |

It would be more interesting than Rambo, that's for sure. |

Haha. The movie rocked, you know it did. But definitely, the book is much better, I highly recommend it to anyone that isn't a girl, or a girly man. Much deeper and darker, and Rambo is a really interesting character. It's a lot easier to understand his motivations. And it only hints at some of the issues and undercurrents that are in the book. |
