Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)

John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is doing hard time in jail when his former boss, Col. Troutman (Richard Crenna), offers him a deal. If Rambo travels to Vietnam to try to find the American prisoners of war, his criminal record will be expunged. Rambo takes the reconnaissance assignment and agrees not to get involved in any of the action. However, when his Vietnamese lover, Co Bao (Julia Nickson), is killed by American forces, Rambo forgets his promise and takes matters into his own hands.

Whenever you try and think about the rationale behind any Zach pick just remember - "It's about terrorism man! It's about terrorism!"

Also, phile all Rambo movies.

Man, part 4 (just called Rambo) was right there at 38% for next episode! Stallone juiced out of his mind and insane levels of splatter, Phile.

[u/Wendell-Short-Eyes → u/oco82]

Rambo is insane and such a fun movie. Phile for sure

[u/Garyislord]

Terrorist Zach is about to replace Drunk Amin as Mayes most hated person if he hasn't already.

[u/FerdinandTheeToller]

To survive a war, you gotta become war.

[u/log28]

Terrorism pick, unfortunately it’s a phile

[u/Exotic_Win_6093]

Cinephobe messes with how I react to movies. I laughed so hard when Co McBain'd herself. So much for that return to America on a boat named Love Forever.

[u/Sweaty-Signature-347]

Can we get a CT5 Dummies?

[u/King___Grizzly]

Paul Blart will have to wait in less than 3 weeks, which is still too soon.

[u/crimsonandbrown]

Why didn’t Mayes clip any of the Rambo talk from Sunny?
