How Rambo: First Blood Part 2 Redefined ...

The Salty Nerd
About this episode

The Salty Nerds review Rambo First Blood Part 2 from 1985, one of the most glorious action movies of the period which cemented John Rambo as the embodiment of action movie machismo for all of the 1980s.

Though the movie is inherently "anti war" the one-man army of Rambo quickly came to embody how awesome America and its military was, and was even screened at the White House for President Ronald Reagan.

This also marked the turn for Sylvester Stallone into becoming one of Hollywood's top action stars.What is your Rambo First Blood Part 2 movie review? Did you love it? Hate it? Do you get to win this time? Let us know in our Discord server: http://www.saltynerddiscord.com
