All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Rambo.


This really isn't meant to be funny...because honestly - these ARE the only possible messages that Rambo could possibly be understood to convey.

"You know there won’t be a victory. Everyday your war machines lose ground to a bunch of poorly armed, poorly equipped freedom fighters. The fact is that you underestimated your competition. If you’ve studied your history, you’d know that these people have never given up to anyone. They’d rather DIE than be slaves to an invading army. You can’t defeat a people like that. We tried, we already HAD our Vietnam. Now you’re going to have yours." - Colonel Trautman, Rambo III

1) Rambo movies are awesome.
2) Rambo movies are awesome.
3) Whoever made Rambo is Racist: White people killing 10,000 Asians is a triumph. And not difficult. (Note: In addition, the first "good guy" to get killed was the token Asian mercenary.)

Mousa: God must love crazy people.
Rambo: Why?
Mousa: He make so many of them!

4) Women are useless. Unless, like Asians, you value them for gang rape. White women, however, are good for inspiring violence and then covering their ears and screaming when it starts.
5) God does not exist. And if he does, goes out of his way to punish his followers.

"Sir, do we get to win this time?" -John Rambo

6) Violence is the only solution. (Fact: According to the 1990 Guiness World Records, 'Rambo III is the most violent film with 221 acts of violence, at least 70 explosions, and over 108 characters killed on-screen. However, the body count of the fourth Rambo movie surpassed the record. In comparison, Rambo holds the record with the most kills out of the entire Rambo series, with 236 kills and an average of 3.2 kills per minute.)
7) Burma is not cool.

"This Film is Dedicated to the Gallant People of Afghanistan." - Rambo III

(By the way, that was definitely the most violent movie I have ever seen.)

I warned you about the crazy violence.

And is it really the most violent movie you've ever seen? I can think of a bunch that are more violent. Or at least more horrifically violent. The violence in Rambo, while super graphic, was cartoonish and not all that psychologically scarring.

I didn't say it was even remotely disturbing. I actually enjoyed the violence because it was incredibly imaginative.

What movies are more horrifically violent? (Aside from scenes in Six Feet Under where people get cut in half by elevators. shudder)
