Disgusting scene that goes too far


I enjoyed this film but I thought the scene when Rambo put the mouse in the snake cage went too far. It was an appallingly sick scene knowing what fate would befall that poor mouse. I know it was an 18 certificate but they should have cut this needlessly violent scene out. Anyone agree?

reply

That scene is an allegory for the naive doctors whom Rambo delivers into the dangers of war torn Burma, represented here by the mouth of the serpent.

All the graphic violence, heads blown off, limbs, throats, arrows, women being debased and your worried about the mouse in the snake cage?

Are you paraphrasing my old epic thread? If so, kudos to you for remembering.

I can't believe that thread was deleted :-(

No.

What in the Hell do you think you FEED a snake.
Every pet shop in the World that sells snakes, sells "feeder mice".
Just like crickets, and goldfish.
They're all DINNER for something else

The whole movie is essentially Stallone cashing in on the torture porn trend.
