"When you're pushed... Killin's as easy as breating"
Action films today just aren't what they used to be. Time was it all it took was one man (and an essentially useless female companion) to take down entire armies of nameless goons. Heck, most of the time they wouldn't even need a gun. Steven Segal would frequently put down his weapon and challenge his enemies to a fair fight, invariably resulting in an unfair fight due to Segal's mastery of the deadly arts. But that's hardly the point.
Similarly, action stars such as Arnie have dispatched many a hapless thug with saw blades, woodland traps and of course old faithful - the unaccountably large commando knife.
But I'm not here to talk about those music playing, California governing has-beens. I'm here to talk about the figure that took gory jungle-based massacres to a whole new level; John Rambo.
When Sheriff Will Teasle decided to send 200 men to capture Rambo in First Blood, Col. Trautman was quick to offer the advice:
"You'd better have a good supply of body bags"
With this in mind, now would be a good time to buy stocks in body bags because Rambo is back, and he's mad as hell.
Rambo IV

When Christian human rights missionaries are captured by Burmese soldiers there is only one man that can infiltrate Burma and rescue them. That man is John Rambo. But he's not just there to infiltrate them - he's there to PAINfiltrate them.
Few people can punch a man's head off and then explode their friend with a machine gun. Luckily this has never been a problem for John Rambo. Much like pulling someones neck out with his bare hands:

By all accounts the latest Rambo film (titled John Rambo) looks a be a triumph of action film making, brimming with explosions and needlessly gory deaths. Personally, I can't wait.
