Description
God would have mercy, John Rambo won’t!
John Rambo leaves a Buddhist monastery when he finds that his former Green Beret leader has been captured by Russians and is being held in Afghanistan. At first he’s hesitant to return to his macho manner, but before he’s barely past the Afghanistan border he’s back to ballistics with a vengeance. He single-handedly annihilates scores of commies in his quest to free his friend and former commander.
At the time it was filmed (1988), it was said to be the costliest film to date ($63 million). The 1990 Guinness World Records deemed Rambo III the most violent film ever made, with 221 acts of violence, at least 70 explosions, and over 108 characters killed on-screen.
“The battle scenes in Rambo III are explosive… Always at ground zero in the chaos is Rambo – gloriously, inhumanly impervious to fear and danger – whose character is inhabited by Stallone with messianic intensity.” – Variety
“Real-life events have rendered this third Rambo adventure the most dated of the series. Still, though, it remains an exciting piece of hardcore action.” – FulvueDrive-in.com
“More of the same… but boy it’s cool!” – Moviehole
