Rambo first blood part 2 on hereā€¦ Rambo is gonna bring the POWs home.

Rambo is only a cod.

Itā€™s so bad itā€™s good.

Sylvester Stallone is a ham.

:rofl:

Some Man with a bow and arrow tho.

Rocky was a masterpiece.

Sometimes you strike me as being rather dim

Following me around now eh :grin: love it.

Christā€¦ Theyā€™ve only gone and left Rambo behind enemy lines here and heā€™s been captured. Not sure how heā€™ll get out of this one.

Cracking looking female lead in that film, doesnā€™t last long though.

What would you know about itā€¦ I survived a tour of Vietnam in 2006. Lucky to get out in one piece .

A stint in Nam was a stroll in the park for a fella born and raised in Moyross

Nearly drowned while doing acid in a giant tyre floating down a river full to the gills of the dengue fever?

No he was supposed to be chaperoning Donal Og Cusack.

Saw the end of it on TCM earlier

Watched a good bit of the Battle of the Bulge there yesterday. Believed to be very inaccurate historically and the locations were a hoot - it looked more like Morocco than the Ardennes, there wasnā€™t a tree in sight in a movie supposed to be set in a Forest. Eisenhower went to the trouble of denouncing it for its inaccuracy.

Still there was a very clever and tense end to the movie where the German villain Hessler got blown to smithereens.

Taking a day out from the war films today and Iā€™m going to watch a cowboy picture here, Shenandoah.

Great movie the ending would make a glass eye cry. Shenandoah that is.

Patton is the greatest War movie ever made
