[00:00:12] Johnny, this is Tromp, where the hell are ya? John, come in! He's here. Rambo, this is Murdoch, we're glad you're alive. Push your position and we'll come to pick you up.

[00:00:47] Is that why they pick you? Because you like to fight? I'm expendable. Expendable? What mean expendable? It's like someone invites you to a party and you don't show up. It doesn't really matter.

[00:01:14] Rambo, you're not expendable. Remixed. We look re-edited.

[00:01:45] Sometimes we get so deep into conversation that we have separate segments worthy of their own place in the sun. Here is a reshuffled mini-episode. Alright gang, you've heard us review why we like these movies? Now it's time to talk about the nitty and gritty. Just if we had to pick a scene.

[00:02:10] Because I gotta say, I guarantee you, when the Rambo first on video and DVD, I'm sure everybody tested out their home stereo system just to see, test the Foley. And like you guys said, there's so many scenes to choose from, but if you had to pick one, what do you think it would be?

[00:02:28] For me, and I don't know if it's in First Blood or the, you know, the second, uh, second rant, the First Blood movie, um, where he kinda, he's embedded in the mud. That's my favorite moment too, in part two, he comes out behind that Russian guy and he takes the knife to his throat, but, but you don't see him, you just see his eyes at first and you're like, oh my God.

[00:03:23] Now listen to me very carefully, and no shooting.

[00:03:31] I want you to go in and end mine.

[00:04:10] Oh, not me. What do you mean not me? Look, I do this part time, I didn't come here to get killed. No, he's probably in there just waiting for us. What's wrong with you, Clinton? Alright, Rambo! This is Lieutenant Clinton Morgan. National Guard leader, you're just three zero seconds to come on out. Who's got the rocket launcher? I do. Come here, Earl.

[00:04:40] ...to come out. Maybe we should wait. Earl, this creep is a killer. Besides, I'm in charge and I say we blow it up. Now fire that thing. Just let me get out of the way first.

[00:05:17] The Rambo moment I probably remember the most, even though it's so dumb and so ego headed, is at the very, very end of part three, where he just says, you know what? How about I crash my tank into this copter? Who thought of that? I guess that's the one thing about the Rambo movies. He's hell on helicopters. Ain't no mountain high enough. Yeah, but yeah. I have two favorite Rambo moments. One is from three when he like breaks that Russian guy's neck and then explodes him.

[00:05:47] Oh, and fun fact. Like just why would you? Fun fact. Like you didn't need to do the extra part, but okay. Yeah. The guy he fights in the cave, the, the torture guy, uh, that's apparently him and the guy who played Samurai caught were apparently Stallone's bodyguards. And so he would keep sneaking them into movies. And that guy, you look at his resume and he has like a few Stallone thug movie roles and you're like, but I will always know him as the guy blown up in the cave and ramble. Yeah.

[00:06:14] Well, then the other one would be, uh, in, in the fourth one where the conversation in the rain, where it's like, you bring in any weapons? Like, do you change in anything? Yeah. Talk about self. I love it so much. You're not. Yeah.

[00:06:45] Well, how about when he outruns the minefield in part four, you're just like good grief. Oh, fuck. Or when he just gets on that 50 cal and just eviscerates. Yeah. Everybody is hamburger meat. Jesus. This is a horror movie now. My favorite. He goes full Verhoeven on the violence. It's. Oh my God. My favorite Rambo. I have two.

[00:07:10] Uh, I like the conversation between him and the general three, because that's pretty little foreshadowing to Russia invade Ukraine. And then. I never thought of that. That's true. It is. Cause I watched that a few years ago. Cause I was rounding out Rambo. So I could have that complete. Or also that in three, he helps the Taliban. That's also. Yeah. I was going to say that too. Who would have known? No, it's not the Taliban. It's the Mujahideen.

[00:07:40] Yeah. But it's the Taliban. Yeah. But that's what they're saying is like, it's the stand in for what's Osama bin Laden. And so, yeah, we can say that. That's a. Uh, James Bond too. In one of the movies, he helps the Taliban. Oh yeah. Timothy Dalton. Yeah. Living Daylights. Yeah. So I like to think he gave Rambo some ammunition. He threw some of that stuff down and it parachuted into that camp. But my second favorite is last film. Last film. I love that. Kill box.

[00:08:09] It's. You love the tunnel scene in part five. That was so beautiful. So good. Cause I like my kill box. I played too many fucking shooters. So as the gamer in you, you love it. Yeah. I do. I love the layout. I think what ruins it for me is that scene where he just literally dies in the chair at the end. You're like, come on, you can't have me taking this serious. Actually, that's called back. Godfather. Oh, Godfather free. Yeah. The original ending for that. If you think about it. So that's the parallel.

[00:08:40] So Stallone is pulling a Michael Carleon. It's funny. You liked the, the tunnel scene when I watched it. I just felt like, Oh, they ran out of money. Well, I got, I was like, Oh shit. This is like, this is like some screening Netflix bullshit. Like there's no money here. What you think about it's tactical. He's he's so. Yeah. But just the way it looked does like this sucks. I hate this. I think my issue was the first part is a very tasteless death, which kind of movie.

[00:09:09] And then the last part is that I'm like, but how did he get enough time? Even being a tactical guy to set all this up. I didn't have a problem with. Cause he's a psycho. Like he would just be, I mean, he's a doomsday prepper, right? Like he would have that, that, that I was fine with. I'm a sucker for emotional breakdown scenes in movies. Well, and I think that's just it. Like part one, you remember that. And I see some people complain. It's too whiny, but I love it. You were seeing Trotman D program. I'm say it's over. Over.

[00:09:39] Top it. There's three. There's three. There's three. I'm thinking of one punchline. Isn't a very good movie, but there's a scene where Tom Hanks loses it. It loses it on stage. It has. Yeah. It's really powerful. It is kind of like that. It's a mixture of being raw and then going beyond the script. Yeah. And I think actually it ends the scene. It helped me. And all the actors playing all the deputies. Yeah. One of them is Chris Mokey. Who's been in every Walter Hill Western, but I love how he. That's right.

[00:10:09] Mr. CSI himself, David Caruso gets to play one of the shit eating deputies. And he says like some tasteless stuff like, Hey, I don't think we have enough water to hose him with. Oh my God. The other two are goodwill hunting. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. That kills me every time. But then. First blood when he uses it at the end, it just. Again, I wish I wish they did just. Okay. You can move on now. Move on with your life. But like I was saying earlier, but anyway, when he says when he says to him, it's over, Johnny.

[00:10:38] Yeah, it's over. It's not over. My favorite. My favorite thing in rainbow. First blood part twos is the Russians are communicating with the Americans. Like we have it. But this is the beauty care of them. And then Murdoch. I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you. And that was Napier playing that part. Charles Napier. I love that actor. Before Austin Powers. That's right. Yeah. And Martin Cove playing the. Yeah. The hot shot helicopter. Johnny Lawrence wasn't the only guy he was going to troll. Yeah.

[00:11:09] It was a commander buddy and the actor. Richard credit. Yeah. He's also great. Little mingle kid. If you ever catch that. Well, you got a lot of good detective movies. Did you see the one where he prepared himself in hot shot parts? Part two. And he's like, he's like, he did. He did. I thought they said credit was just looking at the script out. You're going to make me. Make me make fun of this role. He's like, yeah, yeah. We just think, you know, we love Colonel Troutman, but. You have to like, you know. Play it straight.

[00:11:39] Yeah. You got to pay it straight. He's like, oh, I'll do it. They made fun of a podcast now by having Martin Cove. But I don't don't don't forget at the very beginning. They make fun of the Rambo free stick fight scene. Yeah, I did like Troutman having more to do in three. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I remember when IMDB guys summing up part free. So, so good. They're like, this is the ultimate mad at the world movie. This is when they're on that cliff at the end and they're like, we're outnumbered.

[00:12:08] And Rambo's like just another Tuesday. Who comes in to save him in Rambo three? Like when they're outnumbered. The Mujahideen. Mujadine. Yeah, they come in. Yeah. Yeah. They come in. We're always going back and forth whether we support them or not. I can't, I can't say how that will ever go wrong. At least they gave Rambo some good art. We were talking about our favorite scenes and I put it in the chat, everyone, if you want to watch it.

[00:12:34] He just, because I think Mike, you were the one who brought up just how that pine tree fall was. Yeah. And I remember being pretty silly and I was laughing about it, but I was like, I'm going to go watch it. It's way more absurd than you possibly remember. Really? It's only would be better if you like, he hits one of the branches. He hits like 12 branches, 14 branches. I don't even know if they're like, he hits one and there's like dog poop and he's like, Oh God. And then there's like a bear trap. He's like, Oh God. You know, bike, bike horns.

[00:13:03] And he's like, Oh yeah, it's, I choose to think it is meant to be a bit of levity. It's hard to say, or maybe it's supposed to look, he's tough. Cause I remember that that's before he hunts the, remember that's before he hunts the boar in the next scene. But I feel like it's a parody on the princess bride falling scene. But it is, uh, um, that would be mine if we're doing it. I really do like it because I just forgot how amazing, but it also is.

[00:13:31] It's a pretty good scene because he's about to get sniped from a helicopter. Right. But I also love the scene before that. He just flings all those guys off their motorcycles. And then one of them through the window for good measure is like, yeah, I'm getting out of this bitch. I'm getting out of this County jail. There's nothing you can do to stop me. I'm out of here. I thought that was homage to butch Cassidy and Sundance kid when they jump in the river off the cliff. Yeah. It's definitely a Western thing. Well, I had one. You got one.

[00:14:00] Um, my favorite is by far is Troutman speech from first blood where you talked about Rambo that it was so much emotion. And so much. Yeah. Yeah. That's more of the most iconic scenes, right? That's like the, Yes. Is it in his first scene where he first shows up? That's probably the like cinematically best. Like. Yeah. As far as movie. Hans, you were mentioning Michael bean, right? It reminds me so much of the later film and Terminator.

[00:14:28] He's like, and he will not stop until you are dead. He doesn't feel in the car. Yeah. Fear. It's the same sort of thing. Like you're already dead. You just don't know. Yeah. Everything we need to know. He's just laying truths on you and you don't fucking understand. Yeah. They're playing a different game. You don't understand. The characters are unloading without un-involving the audience. Like we're getting everything we need to know before the 20 minute mark, you know? It's just. Yeah. The best kind of exposition. Yeah. Great stuff. Good stuff.

[00:15:08] You go on ahead. Let's see if you can find some cover. I don't see anything. Let's go to the next one.

I started going down the phone sex rabbit hole. You've got the wankers and you jerk off in five seconds and then they're done because A, they don't want to spend money and B, they're quick. My stepfather had mania. If I'm yelling at one of my kids, that fear, that rigid fear. Mom even said to me, I hope you have a kid just like you.
