Well, let me tell ya, movies like Rambo First Blood, they ain’t that hard to find if ya know where to look. That Rambo fella, he sure stirred up a lot of dust, didn’t he? Always runnin’ and fightin’, that one.
Lots of movies try to be like it, you know, the kind where one guy, he’s all alone and gotta fight against the whole darn world. They got guns, maybe some knives, and they sure know how to use ’em. It’s all about survival, see? Just like Rambo.
First off, ya gotta think about them old war movies. Not the fancy ones with all the special effects, but the ones where fellas get dirty and fight hard. Movies where they show ya what war does to a man. Rambo, he was a soldier, right? So, look for movies with soldiers comin’ home and havin’ a hard time. They ain’t the same no more, the war’s messed ’em up inside. Movies about that, they’re kinda like Rambo.
- Maybe think about movies with Vietnam, that’s where Rambo fought.
- Or maybe movies with guys trainin’ hard, gettin’ ready to fight.
- And don’t forget the ones where the guy’s gotta go save somebody, like a prisoner or a friend. That’s what Rambo does, right?
There’s this movie, First Blood, came out a long time ago, it’s the real deal, the first Rambo movie. That one, it’s about this soldier, Rambo, and folks treat him real bad. He just wants to be left alone, but they push him and push him, and finally, he fights back. And boy, does he fight! That’s what a lot of these other movies try to copy, that feelin’ of one man against everyone else. They call it an action movie, I guess. Lots of shootin’ and runnin’ and yellin’. That Sylvester Stallone fella, he’s tough looking you know.
Now, some movies, they just copy the fightin’ part. You know, big muscles, big guns, lots of explosions. That’s okay, I guess, if you like that kinda thing. But the good ones, the ones that are really like Rambo, they got more to ’em than just fightin’. They got a story, about a guy who’s been hurt, who’s been pushed too far. They make ya feel for the fella, even if he’s killin’ folks.
There’s another good one called Rocky. It’s not exactly like Rambo, ain’t no war in it, but it’s that same fella Sylvester Stallone, and he’s fightin’ just as hard, but with his fists instead of guns. It’s about a fella who’s down on his luck, nobody gives him nothin’, he’s gotta fight for everything he gets. He’s got heart, that one. Just like Rambo. They made a whole bunch of Rocky movies too, just like with Rambo. People sure like watchin’ that fella fight.
Some of these newer movies, they try to be all fancy and complicated, but they miss the point. It ain’t about the explosions, it’s about the man. It’s about what he’s been through and what he’s fightin’ for. Rambo First Blood, that was a movie about a veteran, you know, one of them fellas who fought in the war. He came home and people didn’t understand him, they treated him bad. It’s about that trauma, the war changes a fella, makes him different. So, if you want a movie like Rambo, look for one that shows ya that, the hurt and the anger, not just the guns and the muscles.
Movies like Commando, they’re pretty close. Another one-man army kind of thing. That Arnold fella, he’s big and strong, just like Stallone. He’s gotta go save his daughter, and he takes down a whole army to do it. Sounds kinda like Rambo, right? Gotta be tough, gotta be smart, gotta be willin’ to do whatever it takes. That’s what it’s all about.
And then there are the ones about revenge. Somebody hurts a fella, or his family, and he goes after them. That’s Rambo too, in a way. He ain’t lookin’ for trouble, but when trouble finds him, he sure knows how to handle it. He ain’t gonna let nobody push him around. He’ll fight back, and he won’t stop ’til it’s over. So, movies about revenge, they can be like Rambo too. Look for the ones where the fella is good at fightin’, but he’s also got a reason, a real good reason, for what he’s doin’. It ain’t just about the killin’, it’s about rightin’ a wrong, you see?
Netflix, they got some new movies too that are kinda like Rambo. They ain’t exactly the same, but they got that same feelin’. A fella all alone, fightin’ against the odds. You gotta look for ’em though, they don’t always tell ya what they’re about. But they’re out there, the ones that are like First Blood, a real classic war movie, those are good too. That was a long time ago, but some things, they don’t change much. People still fightin’, people still hurtin’. And that’s what movies like Rambo show ya.
So, if ya want a movie like Rambo First Blood, remember what I told ya. Look for the fellas who are hurt, the ones who are fightin’ back, the ones who won’t give up. And don’t forget the heart, that’s the most important part. You find a movie with all that, then you got yourself a movie like Rambo. It don’t matter if it’s got big stars or fancy effects, it’s the story that counts. And the fightin’, of course. Gotta have some good fightin’. That’s what makes it a Rambo movie, ain’t it? The fighting and the surviving and maybe learn a little something about the fella himself.
