But 5 stars for the scene where Rambo cauterizes a wound by filling it with gunpowder and lighting it on fire.
Zaysen: Are you insane? One man against trained commandos... Who do you think this man is? God?
Colonel Trautman: No. God would have mercy. He won't.

This was a big improvement on the second movie, while still lacking some of the realistic action and emotion from the first movie.
I liked the opening showing how Rambo is living a peaceful life, when he is brought back in action to save an old friend.
It helped give some more characterization of Rambo and the fact that his mission was more personal, also made it feel like more was at stake.
The action was great and full of kills and explosions. Some of the kills went a bit…
"We already had our Vietnam! Now you're gonna have yours."
one of the most inadvertently and retroactively fascinating movies ever made (bonus points when you learn the production was booted out of Israel for security reasons). it's also wall-to-wall analog ass-kicking to the point where it breaks into pure surreality.
The third instalment in the Rambo film franchise, Rambo III has the raw energy & unflinching brutality of its predecessors and is a typical example of 1980s action cinema but unlike the last two chapters, it's also grated with lots of cheese which turns it campy at times but then again, it makes up for that drawback with its impressive action set pieces.
Rambo III finds the Vietnam-war veteran residing in Thailand when he's approached by his former commanding officer who asks for his assistance in delivering supplies to anti-Soviet fighters in Afghanistan. Tired of fighting, Rambo refuses his offer but when he's captured by the Soviet forces, Rambo goes on a solo mission to rescue him from his captors.

"You don't have to hunt him... he'll find you" - Trautman,
I wonder how many people learned where Afghanistan is because of this film... movies help us learn.
In Rambo III, John is peacefully existing in a monastery when he gets news that his friend, Colonel Trautman, has been caught by Russian forces in Afghanistan. He goes into Afghanistan to get his man back. The film's goal is to make people aware of atrocities in Afghanistan and boy does its pro-Afghanistan bent look interesting through 2020 eyes. I think Rambo III doesn't work as well as part 2 because the stakes feel different and Rambo just doesn't feel like Rambo to me.
The first movie is just plain good, and…
i’m no tourist
a far cry away from the original and even more outrageous than Part 2 which in most respects would be considered worse but i still found its zany manliness worthwhile. also just glad to see sly & crenna finish a trilogy out together because their very cool to watch while the cheesefest blows up around them in the most abnormal ways as possible.
at this point it delivers what you expect so i don’t see it as a complete waste just turn that big brain off and you’ll be pleased with it

This is easily the worst of the franchise thus far. Where Part II flourished in the midst of the brainless action, this third film can’t quite get there. There are some great scenes in this romp. The helicopter flying low, attacking the innocents, scene is one of the best looking scenes in the franchise. The action is extremely well-shot as well. What action there is (not much compared to the first two), actually hits me harder than it did in the second. The issue here is the time between those action scenes. The story here isn’t that intriguing. Granted, it wasn’t in the last film but at least that film knew that fact.
The second…
Topping this eloquently researched list: letterboxd.com/mattrisnes/list/top-20-physiques-in-narrative-film/ and having recently watched the others it was time to come full circle, bite the bullet and throw on Rambo 3.
"The fact is that you underestimated your competition. If you'd 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".
The impressively prophetic Colonel Trautman nails it and Stallone rousingly embodies the all American war machine, once he warms up that is. The Escima, Buzkashi, cave and cauterising scenes all pack a serious punch and the helicopter action is explosive.
If I didn't know it before, I certainly do now, this is an amazing
series of films. Pumped, political and poignant the iconic John Rambo is a fully charged, ever evolving hero of genre.
He's also quite the quipster, "Well, surrounding them's out". That's just gold!

Rambo III (1988)
Shouldn't this be called 'Rambo II: First Blood Part III'? It's almost as if they couldn't decide what they wanted the title of the franchise to remain as.
That aside, if you thought the last instalment was over-the-top, this one takes it one step even further (if that was even possible). This time, Rambo is living in Thailand trying to make peace with himself, until Colonel Trautman approaches and asks him for assistance with an anti-Soviet uprising in Afghanistan. It's not until Trautman is captured on duty and held hostage that John agrees to help the rebels and run the Soviet forces out.
I do like how Trautman was given a bigger…
Also known as: the one where Rambo goes to Afghanistan to help fight against the Soviets, and in the process unintentionally creates the future Taliban.
The third and weakest entry in the series is where things went downhill. The first one attempted to be a serious movie, though I don't think it was fully successful. The second one was a great big load of ham, but enjoyable if you accepted it for what it was. Both films were basically about coming to terms with the Vietnam experience and the disgraceful way the US treated its Vietnam veterans, and by the end of the second film, John Rambo had reached his full culmination as a character. There was no place left…
Und wieder nur drei Jahre nach Rambo II - Der Auftrag erschien 1988 bereits die zweite Fortsetzung des Actionklassikers mit Sylvester Stallone.
Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) hat sich mittlerweile nach Thailand in ein Kloster zurück gezogen und führt ein recht zufriedenes Dasein. Er hilft den Mönchen und kämpft ab und an für ein bißchen Taschengeld in Bangkok gegen einheimische Stockkämpfer.
Da taucht Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) wieder mal auf und will ihn für eine Mission begeistern. Rambo soll Trautman nach Afghanistan begleiten, um die Einheimischen beim Kampf gegen die Russen damals noch Sowjets zu unterstützen. Rambo lehnt zunächst ab, doch als er erfährt, dass Trautman von den Sowjets gefangen genommen wurde, macht er sich auf den Weg, den Colonel zu befreien.…
