1:23
1 minute, 23 seconds
so so I first uh heard you on uh well obviously the the Going the Distance because I'm a huge Rocky fan I think I
1:31
1 minute, 31 seconds
did a a video with my co-worker Tamara she had a a series called Tamara's never seen she grew up not seeing like all these huge movies so one of them was
1:39
1 minute, 39 seconds
Rocky and I was like I gotta be on that episode so I joined her for that episode and we shared it out on Twitter and stuff and I think you contacted her on
1:48
1 minute, 48 seconds
there and we're trying to get her to listen to the the podcast or something I was like well I'm a rocky fan like let me listen to this wait I forgot God that
1:57
1 minute, 57 seconds
is so that is crazy isn't that weird okay I remember that this was like the early days of this is sort of like before
2:05
2 minutes, 5 seconds
people were doing reaction videos to like movies and stuff this was kind of like you're like an early adapter of that that's right I forgot that was you
2:13
2 minutes, 13 seconds
guys she's still uh doing everything for the channel I mean she does a lot of different stuff she mostly streams on our twitch channel the channel awesome
2:20
2 minutes, 20 seconds
twitch Channel and she's also a nostalgic critic which that's like the big Flagship of our channel so she's a main character on there plays a whole
2:28
2 minutes, 28 seconds
bunch of different roles in the skits that my co-worker Doug creates for her and everything so she's still very active in the uh in the community can
2:36
2 minutes, 36 seconds
you explain everything you're a part of essentially I mean you go to your website and you and then you're like you're on this and you're on that and you have like fan scription and awesome
2:44
2 minutes, 44 seconds
Channel and tell the listeners what it is what it is you create for uh for YouTube okay so uh I got involved with Channel awesome I think about 2016.
2:53
2 minutes, 53 seconds
Channel awesome it used to be like a conglomerative creators but now it's just more focused on just like our in-house people Doug Walker who is the
3:00
3 minutes
Nostalgia Critic a lot of people know who he who he is in like the nerd quote unquote Community he reviews movies from
3:07
3 minutes, 7 seconds
like like when he was growing up as uh this character who is like very loud and like overdoes everything basically he uh
3:16
3 minutes, 16 seconds
got popular in like I want to say like The Late Late 2000s late 2000s early 2010s is when he kind of blew up so he's been doing it for a long time and that
3:24
3 minutes, 24 seconds
kind of started the the ball rolling on the channel awesome Channel I got involved some years later like I said 2016 to do a show called awesome Comics
3:33
3 minutes, 33 seconds
which at the time was on our YouTube channel where we would review movies or talk about like the current news Topics
3:40
3 minutes, 40 seconds
in uh the uh comic movie kind of community um so that was really fun I moved on to do a show called top five for the
3:47
3 minutes, 47 seconds
channel awesome where I just counted down things my first two videos are actually the best and worst performances of Sylvester Stallone so that was fun yeah
3:55
3 minutes, 55 seconds
yeah those are really fun to put together for a while so after that show ended uh I started transcription and the first episode of that was what if Apollo
4:03
4 minutes, 3 seconds
Creed didn't die in Rocky IV so you can see a thing happening I'm still doing fan scripture kind of I was taking a break for earlier this year but uh we're
4:11
4 minutes, 11 seconds
gonna get back into it next month so that's just a what if show where it's you know asking a what if question changing a movie and rewriting the story
4:19
4 minutes, 19 seconds
and that we have like artists come in and do concept art for us and stuff so it's really fun we get to write dialogue and have our co-workers come in and do
4:26
4 minutes, 26 seconds
voices but that's the main thing I'm doing right now I also do twilighttober Zone which is every day in October I
4:34
4 minutes, 34 seconds
review an episode of The Twilight Zone The Original Series and I do Batman which is uh every day in May I do a review of an episode of Batman the
4:42
4 minutes, 42 seconds
Animated Series so I do a lot of stuff a lot a lot of hats that I wear at the channel where I'm hosting writing editing a lot of different stuff I also
4:51
4 minutes, 51 seconds
make occasional appearances on the Nostalgia Critic show and stuff like that so it's a lot of stuff that the same time wow okay so people have said hey Ryan you got a lot of shows because
5:00
5 minutes
I do rambled Rocky and I do another podcast called the worst of the best and look at this guy do you have do you have a job or is this your reason this is my
5:08
5 minutes, 8 seconds
job yeah I was gonna say there's no way there's no way you can no way no this is my side hustle now this is my full-time
5:16
5 minutes, 16 seconds
job well good for you well good for you for making that work unlike you I don't have enough of anything any listeners or what have you to uh get the ad revenue or or downloads and this is certainly a
5:25
5 minutes, 25 seconds
hobby for me I couldn't I if I had lived off my podcasting hobby my wife would uh well she would leave me and rightfully so because I wouldn't be able to support
5:33
5 minutes, 33 seconds
the family I gotta have a real job so sure no that's good for you that that you're able to make that work for you because then you get to do what you love what is it if you do what you love you
5:41
5 minutes, 41 seconds
never work a day in your life or whatever that is right I mean I could I could testify that I definitely still work it feels like work sometimes for sure but uh most of the time I mean it's
5:50
5 minutes, 50 seconds
better than 99.9 of other jobs out there you know absolutely um yeah getting to talk about things that I love it's just I think the things that are weighing
5:58
5 minutes, 58 seconds
Heaven on me now are the the month-long things because that just takes a lot of research and a lot of time to write 31 episodes or reviews of of like Batman
6:06
6 minutes, 6 seconds
and uh Twilight Zone so I'm looking forward to winding those down over the next couple years have you we discussed something in our Chad here uh Donald in
6:15
6 minutes, 15 seconds
our chat says that Rocky 4 alternate universe was excellent Sly ended up agreeing with the uh head Cannon later
6:22
6 minutes, 22 seconds
if you could have done Rocky IV again I know you know I I watched his uh behind the scenes of the the recut of
6:29
6 minutes, 29 seconds
Rocky IV and he he laid out my fan scripture like exactly I was like are you kidding me like I mean that's that's
6:36
6 minutes, 36 seconds
great I'm sure he didn't watch my video or anything but that's great that like that kind of idea is out there of Apollo surviving and then I still think it was
6:43
6 minutes, 43 seconds
a mistake to kill him because Apollo is such a popular character and it just felt so rushed like he just turned baby-faced in the third movie just
6:51
6 minutes, 51 seconds
turned to a good guy and then you're gonna well I mean he was wasn't exactly a bad guy he was the antagonist right so like to
6:58
6 minutes, 58 seconds
have him and Rocky be friends I I was so excited to see all that that actually happened and then in Rocky IV with him dying just felt like such a rush job and
7:07
7 minutes, 7 seconds
as I've gotten older I still am so confused about that because there's so much more you could have mined from Apollo and and how so Stallone like
7:15
7 minutes, 15 seconds
talks about it in that video he says that he could have been paralyzed and what do you do with this character when you take away what he was known for and what he Prides himself on which is being
7:23
7 minutes, 23 seconds
an athlete being the best at of you know his sport um wouldn't be one of the greatest athletes of all time when you take that away who is he and like yeah that's
7:32
7 minutes, 32 seconds
genius why didn't you do that and that was kind of behind my fan scription for it so it's too bad we never got to see that the movie would have been better
7:40
7 minutes, 40 seconds
off and you know the movies at Rocky 5 certainly probably would have been a little bit better but can you imagine um what's interesting for a rocky yeah you
7:49
7 minutes, 49 seconds
could I did do a transcription about that too I'm kind of incorporating Adonis Creed into it as well I'm just trying to imagine what could have happened but I mean it would have been
7:58
7 minutes, 58 seconds
great to have Carl Weathers in there in Rocky five well you've listened to of course Going the Distance are you listening to one more round are you going with us the one more round as well
8:05
8 minutes, 5 seconds
or absolutely absolutely I I only got into it I think Rocky 3 you guys were covering when I started listening and I wasn't consistent consistently listening
8:14
8 minutes, 14 seconds
until you guys started covering Rocky IV it's good to hear your your thoughts and your your two co-hosts as well like I I love your guy's banter it's great well
8:22
8 minutes, 22 seconds
that's uh I appreciate that and coming from you a Creator yourself it's High Praise I appreciate that well we've mentioned of course your love of Rocky of course look at the memorabilia behind
8:30
8 minutes, 30 seconds
you you got the rocky poster we've got a Stallone shirt on today I'm ready to go I love that shirt I love that picture of Sly too yeah and that Rocky right so
8:38
8 minutes, 38 seconds
yeah let's do it but before we okay well before we get into the where we are in Rambo First Blood Part Two I gotta ask you what's your fandom of Rambo the
8:46
8 minutes, 46 seconds
ramble franchise and what's your history with Rambo I grew up since I was eight years old loving Rocky so like I can tell you everything about like first
8:53
8 minutes, 53 seconds
watching Rocky and getting into all those movies and everything Rambo I kind of put off watching because it I wasn't sure if I would be into it until I was
9:01
9 minutes, 1 second
in high school so I think I was like 15 or 16 when I watched First Blood and I really really love First Blood I think
9:08
9 minutes, 8 seconds
it gets better as it like the more times I see it there's more things I noticed notice as a uh like I'm kind of an
9:16
9 minutes, 16 seconds
amateur filmmaker too so like I noticed little things here and there and how it's kind of the smaller self-contained movie I still really want to read the book which I have not done yet but I'm
9:24
9 minutes, 24 seconds
going eventually so I'm a huge fan of First Blood the sequel films two and three kind of blend together because it
9:31
9 minutes, 31 seconds
it's like the stereotypical Rambo stuff like when everyone thinks of Rambo I think they think of Rambo two and three of course you know I saw Rambo 4 uh as
9:40
9 minutes, 40 seconds
soon as I guess just called Rambo it's so confusing with the names but I I saw the 2007 movie or 2008 movie 2008 yeah
9:48
9 minutes, 48 seconds
right I saw that uh on on DVD when it came out and it was just like a Gore Fest the entire time and I was like what
9:55
9 minutes, 55 seconds
what's going on yeah uh and then I saw last blood in theaters was that two years ago now um yeah three yeah and it felt like a
10:04
10 minutes, 4 seconds
discount Liam Neeson movie with Rambo in it which I was I was let down quite a bit from last Blood there were some
10:12
10 minutes, 12 seconds
parts I really liked but only certain scenes it was just kind of a weird thing where he goes to Mexico and gets the living crappy out of him for like 10
10:20
10 minutes, 20 seconds
minutes it was a weird choice but I do like First Blood a lot the other Rambo films
10:28
10 minutes, 28 seconds
I'm kind of like yeah they're all right like two and three there's definitely stuff I just rewatched to last night and there's definitely like that 80s excess
10:35
10 minutes, 35 seconds
thing in it where it's everything's huge and all these giant explosions and they got real helicopters chasing each other and all that stuff and I could really appreciate that and there are some
10:44
10 minutes, 44 seconds
really creative shots in uh First Blood Part Two that I really like but I I love First Blood the original that's kind of where my biggest part of the fandom is
10:52
10 minutes, 52 seconds
that's about as Fair as an assessment you can give regarding the franchise saying that the other films in any way shape or form measure up as far as a
11:01
11 minutes, 1 second
film goes with first blood is you know you can't do that and as I started to attack ramble First Blood Part Two I'm
11:09
11 minutes, 9 seconds
approaching it the way that the film is in the time that it is that we don't and I know you haven't done this but we're not comparing it to First Blood that's
11:16
11 minutes, 16 seconds
not the point and then when ramble 3 is reviewed and then when Rambles review and then when ramble were last but like we could always just easily say it's not as good as first but I mean no one wants
11:24
11 minutes, 24 seconds
to hear that for you know five seasons of podcasting so the beauty of actually reviewing any film piece by piece
11:32
11 minutes, 32 seconds
sometimes you realize oh there's more here than I thought there was or there is something going on here more than just what it appears to be and sometimes you're like oh there's nothing going on
11:39
11 minutes, 39 seconds
here First Blood Part Two I think it's the first one I remember knowing because it came out when I was 10 years old did you see in the theater no the first
11:47
11 minutes, 47 seconds
one I saw in theaters was ramble part three uh gotcha yeah and I was still too young how old was I boy what year did it
11:55
11 minutes, 55 seconds
come out 80 88 I think ramble through is 88 so I was only 13. and my mom my mom took me and my other brother actually
12:03
12 minutes, 3 seconds
two of my three brothers came with me anyways uh she took us because we're all under 17 or whatever it was rated R I mean it's so funny is it funny to watch
12:10
12 minutes, 10 seconds
ramble two and three and even First Blood their rated R is just shy of what you see on normal NBC TV or maybe like
12:18
12 minutes, 18 seconds
it's part two there's a little bit more blood I guess a little a little bit and there's parts of uh torture kind of shown in that one but yeah it's not too
12:25
12 minutes, 25 seconds
far outside of what we see now there I've watched 24 the TV series for example yeah here and there I I didn't watch all I'm just trying to think of just normal
12:33
12 minutes, 33 seconds
like what's not on cable TV but what called Network television so the amount of blood and violence and torture scenes just in that great TV series by the way
12:41
12 minutes, 41 seconds
but it just I mean it's like there's this Rambo two and three is actually quite quaint and I think that's why partly Rambo like the fourth film
12:50
12 minutes, 50 seconds
probably amped it up a bit I think that was obviously intentional I think that was slides sly's way of saying this is no longer the 80s cheese type film we're
12:58
12 minutes, 58 seconds
now in 2008. it was a lot and that movie's like 80 minutes it's just like a Non-Stop Gore Fest for that entire time
13:06
13 minutes, 6 seconds
I don't think they could have made it longer because people would have just would have uh passed out by then I have I have a fan subscription hey you know what I was gonna save this for the ram before discussion I'll be very quick
13:15
13 minutes, 15 seconds
because I don't want people to not listen to my fourth season of the show but ramble four as much as I think it's kind of like loved by a lot of ramble fans because I
13:23
13 minutes, 23 seconds
think because of the amped up violence that's not necessarily for me Ryan a thing that I need to be gravitated towards because you know first blood for
13:31
13 minutes, 31 seconds
example it has some very you know dark crazy moments but it's not quote-unquote like a Gore Fest right it's just a tense
13:38
13 minutes, 38 seconds
strong drama for Ramble four I I did love the uh you know the a lot of people turn into ground beef moments that was kind of fun to watch I agree but here's
13:47
13 minutes, 47 seconds
my fan scription I wanted that film a to be longer I thought I thought it was incredibly too short I thought it was actually almost comically too short I was like whoa we have a whole third act
13:56
13 minutes, 56 seconds
here that's missing right that third act to me personally so everything that happened in the film fine just keep it as as it is they should have just tacked
14:03
14 minutes, 3 seconds
on another 20 minutes make it a make it an hour and 25 or an hour 35 minute film 40 minute film and have the last 20
14:10
14 minutes, 10 seconds
minutes of him going into the camp stealth style killing stealth that kind of way like one man army into the base so yeah he took care of the guys with
14:19
14 minutes, 19 seconds
the big 50 cal but if you think about that 50 cal scene as cool as it was should not have been a finale it should have been the closing of the third act type thing and then the fourth act or
14:27
14 minutes, 27 seconds
Final Act should have been him one-on-one with the boss the boss level type fights like hand to hand message like the rhyme before ending with a hand-to-hand fight with him just ripping
14:36
14 minutes, 36 seconds
out the guy's throat or something with his bare hands I think that would have been yeah that's my fan description a very brief overview sure we saw like the bare hand fighting in uh in last Blood
14:44
14 minutes, 44 seconds
where he tears that guy's heart I love that yeah the most famous thing to come from Rambo 4 is is the meme that it removes the gun of Stallone's hands and
14:53
14 minutes, 53 seconds
he's given the thumbs up that's great yeah I love it well I remember watching that trailer for the first time when Sly or the company released the course uh
15:01
15 minutes, 1 second
the unrated trailer and the scene of course of him turning going to the Jeep into a ground beef we'd never see anything like that ever I think that was
15:09
15 minutes, 9 seconds
to indicate guys this is a different Rambo film this is a 2008 ramble film so I love all the films for different reasons but every film I've had a
15:16
15 minutes, 16 seconds
something I would change my own it will do it or we'll do our own fan scription right we all do our own like oh had I been in charge I would have done XYZ
15:24
15 minutes, 24 seconds
right what if this happened yeah okay so where we last left off so we just finished the sequence of ramble in the
15:31
15 minutes, 31 seconds
mud feces pit and he was hanging up great sequencer of Sly the actor of
15:39
15 minutes, 39 seconds
course kind of hanging on that bamboo or stick cross and he's coming out of the mud during that recording I recorded John Rivoli remember the sequence course
15:46
15 minutes, 46 seconds
with the leeches on yes chest and arm now I had thought for years and assume for years that those looked
15:55
15 minutes, 55 seconds
real because now I've seen leeches in real life I've had a leeches on me in real life and when they got the knife and they scraped them off like I don't know that that seems like a real legit
16:03
16 minutes, 3 seconds
makeup job that they would have the blood on it just after they rip off the so John ribley who's friends with Sly in real life they talk to each other quite
16:11
16 minutes, 11 seconds
frankly I guess I can say this because he didn't say it couldn't I asked John don't do this for me you're not doing this for Ryan but do this for you John
16:19
16 minutes, 19 seconds
because he didn't know the answer and I said the next time you talk to Sly just say hey I had a question about the leeches and ramble part two were those
16:27
16 minutes, 27 seconds
real leeches on you Sly we finished our recording and literally 10 minutes later he sends me texts they were real I just asked sly
16:34
16 minutes, 34 seconds
wow I can't say I'm surprised because yeah they're flicking those things off and it looks very real impressive I think Sly doesn't get
16:43
16 minutes, 43 seconds
enough credit for his I mean I his fans give him credit I think outside the fandom I think people I wonder what Psy
16:50
16 minutes, 50 seconds
will be remembered for when all said and done when his life's over and maybe like 30 years from now when we were for sure that he's dead I think I don't know how
16:58
16 minutes, 58 seconds
long this guy's gonna live but but let's say 30 years from now we could pretty much ascertain he'll be dead in 30 years so I wonder if people will remember just
17:07
17 minutes, 7 seconds
how much he put into the film as an action star we know what the first Blood landed on the tree he was the third guy in that stunt fault that was him he
17:15
17 minutes, 15 seconds
cracked his ribs those real Rats on them leeches on him you know he breaks his neck doing Expendables I mean this guy was doing it before Tom Cruise you know
17:23
17 minutes, 23 seconds
everyone and rightfully so accomplished Tom Cruise with his physical acting and stunts but so I was doing it first yeah I mean you always hear the story
17:31
17 minutes, 31 seconds
about how in Rocky IV when he's hit from uh Dolph Lundgren he has to go to the hospital because it moved his heart and all this stuff he's constantly getting
17:38
17 minutes, 38 seconds
hurt on his movies so uh but he no he's very dedicated to his craft and wants things to look as real as possible so I
17:46
17 minutes, 46 seconds
mean I hope people do remember that it's gonna be Rocky that is going to be the Everlasting character and Legacy that that he has but I hope people do
17:55
17 minutes, 55 seconds
remember the action stuff that he did but not the stuff like stopper my mom will shoot a rhinestone or you know like I hope it's it's Rambo maybe The
18:04
18 minutes, 4 seconds
Expendables that people will recall those gritty action films yeah absolutely speaking of what he'd be remembered for I find it interesting
18:11
18 minutes, 11 seconds
because slides very active on his Instagram his profile picture of Instagram is actually ramble oh there you go the Rambo character you know he's
18:19
18 minutes, 19 seconds
choosing the profile picture so it's interesting that he chose the Rambo character as a profile pitcher right food doesn't he have a statue at his house of Rambo well he did in Florida
18:28
18 minutes, 28 seconds
but my understanding is Adele the singing pop star there Adele bought his mansion in Florida from slide about a
18:35
18 minutes, 35 seconds
few months ago three to six months ago anyways and uh the statue last I heard was there when Sly left the house now whether he took the statue with him later I don't know but either Adele has
18:44
18 minutes, 44 seconds
the statue or or yes that's hilarious yeah so and someone might have a ramble statue yeah well no no the Rocky one sorry oh sorry all right the Rambo
18:53
18 minutes, 53 seconds
statue yeah no he has he has a rainbow statue at his house doesn't he or he did at one point over the Rock one he had one of the replicas from the uh it's
19:01
19 minutes, 1 second
actually not a request it's the exact same like whatever's at the steps in Philly he had in his Florida home yeah I could have sworn I saw some Rambo statue
19:09
19 minutes, 9 seconds
like a bronze statue in his backyard or something maybe there is a wooden one in whole British Columbia where First Blood was filmed there is a wooden one which
19:16
19 minutes, 16 seconds
I'm going to visit probably 2024. oh yeah because I'm actually uh this matters but I'm moving to Alberta which
19:23
19 minutes, 23 seconds
is east of where I'm living now and I have to drive through hope British Columbia to go there for my military posting so we're gonna make a stop of course at Hope British Columbia in 2024.
19:32
19 minutes, 32 seconds
you know probably on season four or five or maybe done this series I don't know by then I'll get a picture anyways with the uh with the ramble wooden statue great that's awesome yeah I can't wait
19:41
19 minutes, 41 seconds
okay yeah that was the sequence we just saw and so the Russian soldier of course has landed Bramble is about to be brought in for some further interrogation here
19:49
19 minutes, 49 seconds
foreign
20:08
20 minutes, 8 seconds
Soldier or whatever Captain that's in this group that we know his end that he meets later but I mentioned this in the previous episode but you might find this
20:16
20 minutes, 16 seconds
interesting in the book written by David Morrell and I didn't mention this last episode but David Morrell he wrote of course the novelization for
20:24
20 minutes, 24 seconds
part two even though the character not really a spoiler anymore the character and his first book dies and he started the second book with the
20:32
20 minutes, 32 seconds
uh forward by the author it said in my book First Blood Rambo dies in the films he lives and that's just how he
20:41
20 minutes, 41 seconds
addresses that concept so and yeah this easiest way to approach that right this Captain guy just a little people can
20:48
20 minutes, 48 seconds
take it for what it's worth he is actually the same guy that remember the scene of First Blood where he chops his chest up and tortures him yeah oh
20:57
20 minutes, 57 seconds
there's dancing dude yeah so David Morrell wants the readers to think it's the same if he makes it and this is kind of a b plot or C plot in the book that
21:06
21 minutes, 6 seconds
it's the same guy oh okay yeah well that's that's an interesting connection yeah and what David Morrell used he used three different things to make that book
21:14
21 minutes, 14 seconds
use the original shooting script which we see on screen James Cameron's original script the uh and David morale's authorship to
21:23
21 minutes, 23 seconds
combine the two and create some sub stories and backstories about the characters and stuff we get more stuff from bramble's life as younger and all that stuff it's very interesting so I
21:30
21 minutes, 30 seconds
can't recommend highly enough Rambo fans if you're a Rambo fan you kind of want to geek out and get some of you know again fan scripture you want to get some
21:38
21 minutes, 38 seconds
like official fan description from the creator of ramble yeah uh yeah so yeah yeah I gotta check that out I'm
21:46
21 minutes, 46 seconds
disappointed you didn't grow back to Fu Manchu though should have brought that back for this yeah yeah that's right fubanchi was awesome in the book it's
21:54
21 minutes, 54 seconds
very clear in the book that this POW Camp was the same camp that ramble was in in this oh okay that's interesting so
22:01
22 minutes, 1 second
it's directly the same place he was at before that's right so it's the same captain or the same whatever leader of the troop and it's mentioned why is he
22:09
22 minutes, 9 seconds
still here and Rambo assumes that maybe this guy is just a piece of crap anyways and you can't get promoted or posted out of this unit so that's why he's still
22:17
22 minutes, 17 seconds
there it's like specifically said that this is the same Camp however it is mentioned in the film when you go back
22:24
22 minutes, 24 seconds
to the first scene when troutman's talking to ramble through the chain lean fence is is briefly and quickly mentioned but
22:32
22 minutes, 32 seconds
it's never talked about again so it's very easy for everyone to forget Troutman says subject to the effect of paraphrasing here like the reason why
22:40
22 minutes, 40 seconds
you've been hired to go back to this Camp is because you know it best because you were there type thing right I know it's so like you know that's how he was
22:49
22 minutes, 49 seconds
able to navigate the camp the way he did and the ins and outs and but they never Yeah It's oddly edited you can easily put in that idea that this is where he
22:58
22 minutes, 58 seconds
got out of before because he just navigates it so well but it's never really fleshed out of the film so the Casual film Gore won't even connect it
23:05
23 minutes, 5 seconds
Rambo knows his Camp because this is where he was before wow that's interesting that's all
23:15
23 minutes, 15 seconds
thank you Captain Vin leave one guard please
23:22
23 minutes, 22 seconds
[Applause]
23:24
23 minutes, 24 seconds
I see you are no stranger to pain but you have been among my Vietnamese comrades before
23:32
23 minutes, 32 seconds
no answer so I like that look right there that PSY gives look again very yeah you know when you break this down see by scene there's
23:40
23 minutes, 40 seconds
a lot going on here he actually says it looks like you've been a you're no stranger to pain because you know he's being choked and punched he's not barely making any sounds or reacting he goes oh
23:49
23 minutes, 49 seconds
it looks like you've been around these guys before and then Rambo looks at him like damn straight I have yeah right the Rambo glare is a an intense one for sure
23:58
23 minutes, 58 seconds
and this actor uh his name I mentioned before the last episode but let me get again yes Stephen burkoff so he's like 80 something now he's still
24:06
24 minutes, 6 seconds
alive he still acts on stage I reached out to him on his Instagram that's all I could find and I don't think these celebrity guys ever look at their Instagram messages if you're not a
24:15
24 minutes, 15 seconds
friend of theirs or that they don't follow you they don't see your request but I would love to talk to him because I think he did a great job in this film
24:21
24 minutes, 21 seconds
oh for sure I've seen him before in some other movies too but I can't place his face into what films well you might recognize him from octopussy oh okay
24:30
24 minutes, 30 seconds
okay yeah Clockwork Orange all right there you go Beverly Hills Cop all right I knew he had a familiar face all right he's one of those uh yeah he's just one
24:39
24 minutes, 39 seconds
of those actors who just Typecast himself as the Russian great role or great typecasting for an 80s you could spend a Whole Decade deck and a half
24:48
24 minutes, 48 seconds
playing the bad Russian guys hey speaking of Russians we they're the bad guys again so he can he can do it again I know it's all come back around when I was watching this yesterday I was like
24:55
24 minutes, 55 seconds
well something's never change again so true and terrible at the same time now the big bodyguard in the back John
25:02
25 minutes, 2 seconds
gave a great story about his name is oh volsalaf go with
25:09
25 minutes, 9 seconds
Derica yeah all right he was born in gecko Bosnia in 1940. he's the the big
25:16
25 minutes, 16 seconds
dude well he was a bodyguard type individual and guess who discovered him wanna have any guesses who discovered this big bodyguard
25:24
25 minutes, 24 seconds
it's alone and you almost put him in Rocky five is he almost the next guy I just love it
25:31
25 minutes, 31 seconds
like Stallone's discovered dull discovered Mr T brought in Hulk if he loves these big Meathead guides I love it so anyways so again if you have it
25:40
25 minutes, 40 seconds
for some reason if you're listening this episode which is very possible because you're a fan of Walter and his work I would recommend at the very least go back to episode boy what is it five and
25:49
25 minutes, 49 seconds
listen to the straight story that John gives about this actor and he was with Sly when voyogoric met Sly and John
25:59
25 minutes, 59 seconds
randomly in like LA or something it was a very interesting little story yeah well you wish to give your name
26:06
26 minutes, 6 seconds
now what's possible um can that cause pride is a poor substitute for
26:14
26 minutes, 14 seconds
intelligence what you must understand is that we have to interrogate you
26:21
26 minutes, 21 seconds
the sergeant tuition here you are a piece of me the laboratory experiment but to me you are a comrade similar to
26:28
26 minutes, 28 seconds
myself just opposed by an act of fate so great dialogue here yeah for sure I
26:36
26 minutes, 36 seconds
remember very clearly the heating up the knife thing too he just leaves it there for a long time yeah it's a great foreshadow you know he's just casual walking around the
26:44
26 minutes, 44 seconds
knife of course Rambles looking at it he puts it in the uh barbecue grill or whatever to right yeah we're like wonder what's going to happen here basically
26:52
26 minutes, 52 seconds
this is good cop bad cop he's saying hey look your comrade you're just you know it's just fate that I was born in Russia you were born in the states and this is
27:00
27 minutes
actually very true in its own way that soldiers rarely have a beef with whatever country they're told to fight
27:07
27 minutes, 7 seconds
so oh I guess we're fighting I guess we're fighting the Russians I guess we're fighting the Vietnamese I guess we don't like Vietnamese people the average 20 year old kid doesn't have a beef with
27:15
27 minutes, 15 seconds
another country right what team were you born on it's really kind of crazy I don't get all political but really at the end of the day war and I'm a
27:22
27 minutes, 22 seconds
military person myself so I get it like I'm in the Navy and if I'm assigned to go on a ship that's going to go to battle against whatever country okay I
27:30
27 minutes, 30 seconds
guess they're the enemy I don't want to be anybody with anybody but I guess that's what we've signed up to do yeah right I mean like his dedication to his
27:37
27 minutes, 37 seconds
country is a is still a big deal I mean at the last few lines of the movie or him talking about I'd kill you know I'd Die For America basically when Troutman
27:45
27 minutes, 45 seconds
confronts him with that yeah um and he has the big line at the end about you know that he wishes that uh America loved the the Vietnam Vets as much as
27:53
27 minutes, 53 seconds
they loved their own country so I mean he's a patriot and we could say that we don't we don't ever see him treated well by the U.S like at all but he does love
28:03
28 minutes, 3 seconds
his country does it's a great yeah it's a great ending too it doesn't cries but doesn't cry as much in part two as he did in
28:09
28 minutes, 9 seconds
part one yeah right too manly to cry part two yeah they got T going here at the same time as they're cooking the knife I have some DDS some Russian Tea
28:18
28 minutes, 18 seconds
that's the best I know you were trying to facilitate the release of war criminals held by this
28:26
28 minutes, 26 seconds
Republic I can appreciate this but this incident your capture is
28:34
28 minutes, 34 seconds
embarrassing it's total bonjour and stuff here too so that totally fits with his role in octopussy yeah no kidding I love how he
28:43
28 minutes, 43 seconds
says his capture is embarrassing he refers to the pows as criminals as war criminals again depends what side you're on right true so now he wants to know
28:52
28 minutes, 52 seconds
why are you here we have to have an explanation what brought you to this place of course Rambo's easy lines for slide to memorize he's got nothing to
28:58
28 minutes, 58 seconds
say here a lot of physical acting first of all I wish you to radio your headquarters and say that you have been
29:06
29 minutes, 6 seconds
captured and condemned for Espionage activities and that no such criminal aggression should be attempted in the
29:14
29 minutes, 14 seconds
future or they will meet with the same fate as yours
29:26
29 minutes, 26 seconds
[ __ ] you is that the only time we've heard Rambo say that in the series
29:34
29 minutes, 34 seconds
he sits in ramble 3 not to the when um yeah he says that to Troutman within the trench when they got the whole Army the
29:43
29 minutes, 43 seconds
Russian army on them and goes F them or whatever it was when they come in on uh on Rambo and Troutman uh but that's right I don't think he I don't think he
29:51
29 minutes, 51 seconds
curses again that I can remember yeah I don't know why I always find it weird when Stallone does curse I don't know why that is it he does do it but it's
29:59
29 minutes, 59 seconds
it's kind of like Clint Eastwood you don't hear clintus would do it all that much but he does it right most of the time with ramble he just gives you like a death stare to have him actually say F
30:09
30 minutes, 9 seconds
you it's like oh okay well he's uh I guess he's uh more serious now look at the face now of he's pissed yeah English
30:17
30 minutes, 17 seconds
to test your strength record good that's great you wish to test your strength and what a great response I
30:25
30 minutes, 25 seconds
mean this guy plays the villain perfectly casts perfectly you know he's been told to to screw off and he's like oh all right we're gonna have some fun
30:33
30 minutes, 33 seconds
here you want to see how much pain you can take yeah he's got the the back and forth really well his responses are great just you could see it in his face especially with you know it being in
30:42
30 minutes, 42 seconds
Vietnam and everything like all the sweat and everything it just makes him seem so slimy visually the line delivery is great now I know this is obviously a
30:50
30 minutes, 50 seconds
movie but we know torture happens and I think it'll sad or anything but I just don't get how I couldn't do it even if I knew someone was an enemy I don't know
30:58
30 minutes, 58 seconds
how much I could could you torture something I I guess you got to be nice no no uh I I don't think I could unless you
31:07
31 minutes, 7 seconds
don't like my videos then I could be tortured but yeah I think people are tortured by listening to my show so that's probably enough so maybe I am torturing people yeah it's the opposite
31:14
31 minutes, 14 seconds
this is pleasurable actually okay all right yes I mean it's it's intense stuff especially when we get to that I don't know if we're gonna get to that yeah
31:22
31 minutes, 22 seconds
what happened so here but him when he's just strapped up there I guess we'll talk about it yeah of course yeah I love that the ocean
31:32
31 minutes, 32 seconds
comes in now we're hearing now a little uh moped coming up of course we yeah we knew
31:40
31 minutes, 40 seconds
earlier that Co and Rambo saw earlier in the film that the [ __ ] from the village I love how she calls her the horror from
31:48
31 minutes, 48 seconds
the village came in and now she's gonna disguise herself as the [ __ ] from the village to come and get the soldiers happy time so that's how she comes up to
31:55
31 minutes, 55 seconds
the gate and gets let in I should note in the book they do flesh out Rambo and Kohl's I would say emotional
32:03
32 minutes, 3 seconds
relationship it's so ridiculous how they have like two scenes together they kiss once and then she's immediately like
32:10
32 minutes, 10 seconds
turned into swiss cheese I love it like right after it's almost comical um and he's so affected by it I mean he
32:17
32 minutes, 17 seconds
would be affected by it I think but we didn't get to see them their relationship get fleshed out so that's interesting to hear that is in the in the uh in the book yeah it's still short
32:26
32 minutes, 26 seconds
in the book because the timeline is the same but they definitely have a connection and uh they talk more and connect more regarding their hopes and
32:34
32 minutes, 34 seconds
dreams type thing stood to put a few more minutes of that in this movie with this movie's like an hour 35 they could have put five more
32:43
32 minutes, 43 seconds
minutes of to establish their relationship yeah I don't know if you caught this on one of my twitters I said that according to David Morrell the
32:50
32 minutes, 50 seconds
creator of the character he did Rambo dirty made him a virgin he's still a virgin in this film oh okay yeah because I did not know that when he went to
32:58
32 minutes, 58 seconds
Vietnam he was he was sitting with his high school sweetheart and he went to Vietnam out of high school he never finished and when he came back from Vietnam she
33:06
33 minutes, 6 seconds
married uh and so he just never found love again after after that and then the rest is history yeah right that's interesting of course the sly character
33:14
33 minutes, 14 seconds
or the sly actor is older by 10 years in the ramble character in the books but still yeah
33:35
33 minutes, 35 seconds
I really wish I knew what they were saying because they're I mean they are speaking Vietnamese something probably I don't know we could we could guess I
33:42
33 minutes, 42 seconds
don't know uh it is interesting that they don't have subtitles for most of the Vietnamese dialogue in this yeah and especially when Rambo and Co were
33:51
33 minutes, 51 seconds
speaking again in the book David Morrell gives you the English he just translates it for you what they said and I forget exactly I'll just I can't recommend part
33:58
33 minutes, 58 seconds
two enough it's a great read uh it just fleshes out this movie so much more and it gives you more of appreciation for the film because you put in what David
34:06
34 minutes, 6 seconds
Morrell wants the characters thinking you watch that in the film yeah anyway so I'm listening to the audiobook I listen to audiobooks my car
34:13
34 minutes, 13 seconds
and the author I guess that's a lot I'm not sure but he talks with a Vietnamese accent when he gets to the Vietnamese characters I don't know if that's
34:20
34 minutes, 20 seconds
allowed I don't oh well it's just interesting to hear he goes this he's a Caucasian guy he sounds Caucasian I
34:28
34 minutes, 28 seconds
don't know what it's but you know you can kind of tell when someone just talks maybe right he doesn't sound Irish he doesn't sound Australian and but when he goes to the Vietnamese characters he he
34:37
34 minutes, 37 seconds
full on does it huh yeah well I'm sure that was recorded a little while ago but still it is uh you know that it's interesting I don't know is
34:46
34 minutes, 46 seconds
that allowed I don't know I mean I personally wouldn't have a problem with that but I'm not Vietnamese so like if I don't care it's just weird
34:54
34 minutes, 54 seconds
because that's just how they sound so it's weird we get so wrapped up in this I don't even know it's allowed anymore but I'm not offended but I remember thinking oh I guess we're allowed to do
35:02
35 minutes, 2 seconds
that yeah here we go yeah I love the pose can we
35:09
35 minutes, 9 seconds
just talk about he's literally in like the muscle pose up here like this to to be tortured and I remember
35:18
35 minutes, 18 seconds
Stallone in the the rocky Ivory Cut documentary talking about some of those shots were all vanity of him I was like yeah that makes total sense because this
35:26
35 minutes, 26 seconds
is so ridiculous he's being tortured and it's terrible but he is just flexing the inside
35:33
35 minutes, 33 seconds
this is the big body chapter it's it's hilarious from like a behind the scenes perspective to see it I mean it's terrible that Ram was being tortured and
35:42
35 minutes, 42 seconds
all this stuff but it's just like I mean they pulled no punches with like I gotta show off every single muscle in my upper body here everything took the
35:51
35 minutes, 51 seconds
words out of my mouth I know much more to add to that than yeah when you're seeing this as a kid you're not thinking didn't notice it when I was younger but of course rewatching like you and our
35:58
35 minutes, 58 seconds
adult years because now we're starting to think about how this film was made so of course Sly is like okay I got an idea I got an idea look they're going to torture me for some
36:07
36 minutes, 7 seconds
information and then then they're like well why don't we just waterboard you no no no no no no no no no waterboarding that's that I agree that's really brutal
36:14
36 minutes, 14 seconds
like well why don't we uh break some fingers yeah yeah we'll break something no no no no no no no how about my shirt comes off okay hear me out my shirt
36:21
36 minutes, 21 seconds
comes off okay I'm put onto this like steel bed frame thingamajig against the wall okay and but I'll be standing right
36:29
36 minutes, 29 seconds
I want to be standing and and they got me hooked up to this the electricity goes through your body all the same your arms don't have to be up this way they
36:37
36 minutes, 37 seconds
could be tied behind your back and like you still had he had to go up I mean and when he's when he gets torture it gets
36:44
36 minutes, 44 seconds
electrocuted I mean he's flexing everything it's just like it is so ridiculous looking at that from that perspective but I mean this is like
36:52
36 minutes, 52 seconds
Stallone at his most in shape right I mean this is Rocky IV time so he's in great shape also you know re-watching this yesterday when he walks he does
37:00
37 minutes
that saunter I was like oh that's the Rocky IV saunter I don't know if it's because he's got more muscle on them than usual rule but how he walks I mean I just think of him walking up to Drago
37:09
37 minutes, 9 seconds
and for the the fight at the end of the film it's like the same the same kind of pace he has every right to be proud of what he's done with his body he's got it
37:17
37 minutes, 17 seconds
sure yeah he's got every right that's great he looks great and he did the right thing he's got this on Celluloid forever it's forever captured on film
37:25
37 minutes, 25 seconds
this was me back in my 40 41 years old this is how I looked and the rest of you can suck it let's see 40. oh me yeah
37:33
37 minutes, 33 seconds
well he's 76 now and this came out 37 years ago what's the math on that right 85 sure yeah good on him yeah good on
37:41
37 minutes, 41 seconds
him I'm 46 and I don't look like that I'm 33 I've never looked anything like that
37:49
37 minutes, 49 seconds
but here's the beauty of us being just normal this is what I always say about being normal like I like to eat well and I do Jog and I'd like to be healthy but
37:57
37 minutes, 57 seconds
without worrying about the big muscle mass or physique type stuff is I I don't have to worry about losing it I don't have to worry about the maintaining because once you have it then it's like
38:05
38 minutes, 5 seconds
okay now because at some point you either stop or you're doing this till you die and I'm like no I'm good I'll just stay healthy you know healthy diet
38:13
38 minutes, 13 seconds
healthy run I don't need to be you know have the six pack and biceps because then you're then you have to do it forever right yeah I think your way is
38:21
38 minutes, 21 seconds
the way to go I think so but of course he's worth 500 million dollars right and he's got to look good so I mean it again
38:28
38 minutes, 28 seconds
looks good it's just a ridiculous seem to see now look at that cord the chords in his bicep so what is it what I
38:36
38 minutes, 36 seconds
know I know holy moly I don't think I've ever seen that kind of like he has muscles on top of his muscles
38:42
38 minutes, 42 seconds
corded veins or whatever that is yeah right there yeah
38:57
38 minutes, 57 seconds
so I do love how the electric electric in them and it's I love the subtle they're drawing energy from the village that they're pounding so much
39:05
39 minutes, 5 seconds
electricity in them that it's actually dimming the lights throughout the village yeah that's a good couple shots way to build up like how much he's really being
39:13
39 minutes, 13 seconds
hurt here is something that might be of
39:26
39 minutes, 26 seconds
interest to you a transcript of the conversation between your helicopter oh here you go
39:33
39 minutes, 33 seconds
we intercepted this is very good too because you can assume in this again I'm in the Navy and we always operate under
39:40
39 minutes, 40 seconds
the assumption that everything we say and do has been intercepted you kind of have to especially with today's technology so you do your best with code
39:49
39 minutes, 49 seconds
Words which you know he does his code words and he even says oh it's a clever that's a clever nickname for home base or whatever they know they know the code
39:56
39 minutes, 56 seconds
words and they have them too you do your best with what you can but I love how he's now going to read to ramble try to give him uh cognitive dissonance here
40:04
40 minutes, 4 seconds
saying hey the people that you're protecting will care about you you know how do you like how do you like them apples it is a valid point I mean Charles Napier is just totally left him
40:13
40 minutes, 13 seconds
there and we see what happens but yeah I mean like he's making good points here I mean the United States has never really shown Rambo any love at all I mean like
40:22
40 minutes, 22 seconds
he's gone through all these problems coming back home from Vietnam and now being involved in this I mean it's just history repeating itself here so I'm not
40:29
40 minutes, 29 seconds
saying he would ever join the other side but the US has not no showing Rambo or any love and to be clear he's not doing this for his country right now he's
40:37
40 minutes, 37 seconds
doing this for the guys in the camp that's right to get them out to get them home because he knows what they're going through because he knows he said in the book he was there for six months or six
40:45
40 minutes, 45 seconds
weeks I can't remember not a long time and these guys have been here for years so he knows the suffering they're going through right that one line uh where the guy
40:54
40 minutes, 54 seconds
asks what year it is and it says 1985 and that look just that like oh my God what he's been there for that long uh
41:00
41 minutes
that was some great acting by that guy I don't know his name but like just those facial expressions I mean he really played up you know the pow type very well I wonder who got those rolls okay
41:10
41 minutes, 10 seconds
we need to hire like five or six guys who don't eat food right there's some skinny actors some really skinny guys we'll bring them in be really authentic
41:18
41 minutes, 18 seconds
just gotta dirty up their teeth but dragonfly wolf then colorful names here we are
41:26
41 minutes, 26 seconds
we have them in sight and the reply about the operation immediately
41:35
41 minutes, 35 seconds
this is a recall confirmed it seems you were abandoned on direct
41:43
41 minutes, 43 seconds
command and these are the people you protect with your pain that's a great line these are the people you protect with your
41:51
41 minutes, 51 seconds
pain I like that line yeah absolutely and he's doing great here I love the good old-fashioned bad guys in these films we don't have enough of these anymore I think the mission impossible
42:00
42 minutes
films do a good job of keeping that up even the James Bond films we don't have enough of other films giving us these classic bad guys I understand the uh the
42:08
42 minutes, 8 seconds
point of trying to humanize your villain because a lot of the times that could make for a more interesting character overall and a more interesting story but once in a while you just need a good bad
42:17
42 minutes, 17 seconds
guy who's bad just because he's bad and he's and you gotta get a really good actor in there to read those lines and portray that character but we yeah we
42:24
42 minutes, 24 seconds
don't get that a lot nowadays increase the voltage I think you said in Russia
42:31
42 minutes, 31 seconds
there is no shame so he's told yushin to increase the voltage on the on the electricity what I love here he says I
42:39
42 minutes, 39 seconds
gave you permission to scream there's no shame in that what I really kind of like it one of the shows this guy ramble has not shown any real indications any like he doesn't ah you
42:48
42 minutes, 48 seconds
know I step on a piece of label and I curse the high heaven you know this guy I think I think even Rambo would scream stepping on a lake yeah fair enough okay
42:56
42 minutes, 56 seconds
maybe Lego was the best example but you know but he's getting this voltage room but he's gonna get a lot more now and what I love is that Rambo does scream
43:04
43 minutes, 4 seconds
which indicates us the audience yeah how much pain he's actually in now if now if Rambo is truly screaming in pain can you imagine what you and I would you know be
43:12
43 minutes, 12 seconds
experiencing because he's been taught to ignore pain yeah can't ignore this though I like it was in first Blood where they asked him is that if that's working or it's in one of the Rambo
43:20
43 minutes, 20 seconds
movies and he says like no really that's right where was that okay maybe somebody maybe I can't remember if there was a one or three but they asked him like oh
43:28
43 minutes, 28 seconds
we're taught to ignore pain he said is it working he said no really oh that's right it must be part three because part three was the ramble three the comedy so
43:35
43 minutes, 35 seconds
it had more right it probably was three foreign
43:43
43 minutes, 43 seconds
ERS hearing the scream
43:45
43 minutes, 45 seconds
[Music]
43:53
43 minutes, 53 seconds
great flexing here right I mean he's doing a great job at I mean it's not easy to look like you're in that much
44:01
44 minutes, 1 second
pain and he's doing a great job that non-verbal acting Stone does so well he does an amazing job in this film
44:09
44 minutes, 9 seconds
again even the Russian leader here recognizes boy you are strong as he starts choking him a little bit
44:16
44 minutes, 16 seconds
strong he says the strongest so far now we're gonna see what's coming up like he recognized okay we can't get the information we need from this guy so we
44:25
44 minutes, 25 seconds
can't hurt him as much as we need to so we're gonna have to think of something else here
44:33
44 minutes, 33 seconds
so [ __ ] make the radio call all right of course for our listeners
44:42
44 minutes, 42 seconds
who aren't seeing us on YouTube uh Co is just dispatched of a Vietcong Soldier has taken his weapon and she's gonna set
44:50
44 minutes, 50 seconds
herself up to help Rambo Escape because he's not Expendable right I love that I love the line it's such a uh I don't
44:57
44 minutes, 57 seconds
know foreshadow for real life events you gotta wonder what's like created because he created The Expendables series I mean and he wrote this film did he know in 30
45:06
45 minutes, 6 seconds
or 20 years whatever he was going to make uh when he made the Expendable films did he go like oh yeah
45:13
45 minutes, 13 seconds
I highly doubt it because it seems like he doesn't remember continuity or anything he does in other films anyway I mean the rocky franchise is the perfect
45:20
45 minutes, 20 seconds
example of that so I'm gonna say no he just likes the word Expendable uh Donald said that he likes the what does head
45:28
45 minutes, 28 seconds
Canon mean anyways when someone says head Canon headcanon is just like what you think is is happening on screen so if if you want to imagine like something
45:37
45 minutes, 37 seconds
else happened like I'm gonna ignore what happened in the movie I'm gonna think it happened this way that's head Cannon okay so he says he likes the head Cannon
45:44
45 minutes, 44 seconds
thank you that the other pows were Rambles friends in the cartoon I never saw the cartoon I've seen like
45:52
45 minutes, 52 seconds
little Clips here and there but it's just it's crazy that they made a cartoon series out of Rambo no no we're not gonna I'm not reviewing that maybe
46:00
46 minutes
you're not gonna review it maybe for a bonus episode I'll do something stupid and I'll do like the the first episode or something I just I can't but maybe
46:08
46 minutes, 8 seconds
when the series is over give me something to do a bonus episode of some sort yeah sure all right so now they've brought in his
46:16
46 minutes, 16 seconds
friend would be so much easier Yashin plastic bad guy stuff hurting the other
46:23
46 minutes, 23 seconds
people yep well it's actually effective really because it's one thing for you to feel pain but when your lack of talking is going to affect somebody else's pain
46:32
46 minutes, 32 seconds
the whole reason why he's here is to help these guys they've already been through enough that's what he's thinking too like these guys but yeah now they're going to get injured or hurt because I'm
46:39
46 minutes, 39 seconds
here and the Knights coming back in the play here we go it has a Memento for you of this occasion
46:48
46 minutes, 48 seconds
so yeah yashin's holding the knife and the tip is it's so hot that it's like white gold hot that's actually I don't know how they did that effect I don't
46:56
46 minutes, 56 seconds
know if it was really heat on it or what but it's a really cool effect this 85 so I don't know what they use on the end of that blade to make it look like it was on fire they could have just really
47:05
47 minutes, 5 seconds
heated up maybe it could be as simple as that that it's just that hot yeah but then of course this scene here again
47:14
47 minutes, 14 seconds
watch this practical effect so again 85 no CGI they've got the knife point on slice face or rapple's face of course in
47:22
47 minutes, 22 seconds
the film but the actor's size got this point and it does leave a crease on his skin I'm just watching try to figure out how they did this practically I'm just
47:28
47 minutes, 28 seconds
obviously Sly don't at me that you had a real hot knife on your cheek okay some things we just know you did not cut your skin it really
47:37
47 minutes, 37 seconds
scarred my face for this film maybe was having John S like it was that a real hot knife okay if that comes back with a yes I'm not gonna believe anything Sly says anymore so I'm not going to ask
47:45
47 minutes, 45 seconds
because I don't want to hear the answer sure ah it's a great effect and they got smoke
47:53
47 minutes, 53 seconds
coming out of it it's awesome so you could see like right before that the knife goes into his face that there's there's a little line there it's like
48:01
48 minutes, 1 second
where you're supposed to cut kind of I was almost thinking speaking of headcanon maybe that was like an old scar that they literally reopened that would be kind of cool because the whole
48:10
48 minutes, 10 seconds
movie is him going back to Vietnam so that would be like a cool thing to expound upon but uh it looks great I mean like there's literally smoke coming
48:18
48 minutes, 18 seconds
out of the quote-unquote wound or the makeup well said uh to add to that what you just said the headcounter like boy I've learned something to say head Cannon look at his face here where he
48:27
48 minutes, 27 seconds
almost looks well he looks traumatized like he it hurt him to be cut but he almost looks like he's there again he's being cut up again right it looks like
48:34
48 minutes, 34 seconds
oh I'm here again he looks what's he defeated but almost because in the book he talks about how they don't think about being where they are that they put
48:42
48 minutes, 42 seconds
themselves in other places so right here he's just he's somewhere else almost right put it in his eye
48:49
48 minutes, 49 seconds
foreign
48:59
48 minutes, 59 seconds
[Music]
49:08
49 minutes, 8 seconds
I got that close to his eye that blade is right by his eye so I don't know what they're using to make it light up like that so maybe it's
49:15
49 minutes, 15 seconds
just a plastic part of the blade they got a little light that would be just lit up somehow it's can't I don't think they'd put no that hot of a knife right
49:23
49 minutes, 23 seconds
or a knife in General close to someone's eye like that but great effect but then again it was the 80s who knows yeah who knows size like man if you lose an eye
49:31
49 minutes, 31 seconds
you lose an Iron Man that's part of the game when you're in a Rambo film all right you live forever on on celluloid
49:43
49 minutes, 43 seconds
so Rambo agrees that he'll talk the Russian Commander is a little excited I love how they throw the poor guy down and they just kick him for good measure
49:50
49 minutes, 50 seconds
the uh that guy's just been through so much years and years of torture it's crazy
50:00
50 minutes
[Music]
50:04
50 minutes, 4 seconds
went to the Village she's scouting out where to find Rambo Jerry Goldsmith came back for this one right that's right yeah he was uh part
50:13
50 minutes, 13 seconds
three hmm it was a great composer one of the greats right that was one of the shots I was
50:21
50 minutes, 21 seconds
talking about like they really pull out some really really ways to Showcase things there and just the lightning strike showing the Viet Cong Soldier right there it was
50:30
50 minutes, 30 seconds
great I love how they did that that's really well done
50:40
50 minutes, 40 seconds
so the pow says okay don't do it because they've put Rambo in front of the mic he's like don't do it it stops for his travel there yeah you get stomped um
50:48
50 minutes, 48 seconds
speaking of those good shots I mean that's one of my favorites another one um was when Rambo was underneath one of those cabins or whatever you want to
50:56
50 minutes, 56 seconds
call them and I think it's when one of the girl one of the guys is with one of the prostitutes and like you the camera goes over them you see Rambo's eyes between the cracks love that shot as
51:04
51 minutes, 4 seconds
well that's a great shot yeah I agreed and that was well it's the same captain that he in the book when he saw that guy he recognized him as the same one that
51:12
51 minutes, 12 seconds
tortured him hey gotcha yeah do it now padoski that's his name badovsky
51:18
51 minutes, 18 seconds
yeah that's right of course I love how we already we're
51:26
51 minutes, 26 seconds
hearing the Thunder crash lightning the tensions Rising the storms coming it builds up to a great moment yeah the
51:34
51 minutes, 34 seconds
time is perfect I would have ramble said afterwards was that cool you know when I held the mic in the lightning crash at the same time
51:42
51 minutes, 42 seconds
in fact it actually happened to one of my favorite films I've mentioned before in the show uh Tombstone this one yeah favorite films yeah with the part where
51:50

55:00
55 minutes
moment because he you can hear the nuts yeah yeah you could hear like every little sound effect in his arm and everything in this I love that nobody's
55:09
55 minutes, 9 seconds
ever grabbed the microphone like that before we just go he's here
55:20
55 minutes, 20 seconds
I love that he goes in can I talk to Murdoch please right I love the reaction redox I hope

55:35
55 minutes, 35 seconds

55:48
55 minutes, 48 seconds
here we go Murdock
55:55
55 minutes, 55 seconds
I'm coming to get you what a great moment what a great moment
56:08
56 minutes, 8 seconds
forearms flexing the mic like crush he's like crushing the microphone in his that's one of the most intimidating
56:15
56 minutes, 15 seconds
Stallone moments I think in his whole career yeah it's Murdoch coming to get you it's
56:23
56 minutes, 23 seconds
great now we're finally we've gone to this like there's only 35 minutes left of film through the whole first first Blood film we never saw ramble quite
56:31
56 minutes, 31 seconds
Unleashed he was on a leash he was kind of constricted by of course by the script but he didn't want to kill fellow National Guardsmen he didn't want to
56:38
56 minutes, 38 seconds
kill citizens into films anyways in the film version of Rambo you know he didn't want to do that here he was sent on a mission to take pictures he gets
56:46
56 minutes, 46 seconds
captured he's killed a couple guys to get a prisoner W like he's still kind of within this constraint of the rules the orders
56:54
56 minutes, 54 seconds
but this moment is now a combination of everything that we he's finally Unleashed he's got no more orders he's
57:01
57 minutes, 1 second
got no more pickup Point times he's he's now able to just do what he wants how he wants to get out of this situation this
57:08
57 minutes, 8 seconds
also reminds me of this moment we grabs the microphone says you know Murdock a cup I remember seeing this as a kid thinking yeah this reminds me of the
57:17
57 minutes, 17 seconds
Rocky 2 moment when Adrian says win oh sure great moment it reminds me of that same thing of like it's about to get
57:24
57 minutes, 24 seconds
real here like I love that they they cut to Murdoch too for a second he's like oh no yeah it looks like he just pissed yourself a little bit he's scared
57:32
57 minutes, 32 seconds
absolutely I want to keep going that way we gotta stop I understand well I know I mean this is so much fun but I think the next sequence of course of the of them
57:39
57 minutes, 39 seconds
escaping probably if I'm just looking at it right now we'll probably end the next episode with possibly the Kohl's uh demise I don't want to spoil anything
57:47
57 minutes, 47 seconds
because I can't imagine anyone's listening but I can imagine if someone's listening to this podcast who's never seen the films uh yeah I mean you should go watch the Rambo movies before you
57:56
57 minutes, 56 seconds
listen to that I would recommend watching the Rival film or at least follow along it's fun to if you want to do that that way that's also fun first and foremost thank you so much for
