Taken, Commando, Man on Fire, Kill Bill. There is no type of film that gives me more pleasure than seeing one person do the impossible and go on a rampage and lay a stack of dead bodies themselves.

Funny, I was just watching First Blood the other day. Good movie, but I also think it could be remade as a parody with great effect. I'd like to see a version where Rambo wipes out a town just because he got a parking ticket. "OK, please, we'll forget about the ticket!" "Too late for that!"
shareHe warned them !
I always wished for a different outcome for Brian Dennehey. How about Rambo scales the roof and scares him into falling off the roof, it would be a fitting end for a bumbling sheriff.
shareThat was one thing I didn't like about the movie; it's left unclear whether Teasle survives. He's alive at the movie's end, he's taken away on a stretcher. But with the injuries he had, he could quite possibly have died later.
The book has a bizarre ending. Teasle and Rambo both die, and their final thoughts are of how much they've come to love each other.
I'm in the minority, but I didn't like First Blood.

That surprises me, given your OP.
A funny thing about Stallone that had never occurred to me until some critic made this observation. His two iconic characters are Rocky and Rambo. The Rocky of the later movies is an old man, with an old man's infirmities and such. The Rambo of the later movies is just as effective an ass kicker as ever. One character is defined by his age, the other is ageless.
The disrespect to Cobra.

Huh? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
The critic said that Rambo and Rocky were his two iconic characters. Cobra would like a word.
shareOh, OK. I thought you were saying that was your reason for disliking First Blood; the "disrespect to Cobra." It had me puzzled, thinking "was there a character named Cobra in that movie?"
I need to get some sleep.
Don't forget another Stallone R classic Rhinestone.
