Haha! In one episode of the A-Team, a loaded helicopter slams into the side of a cliff, falls the ground, and everyone comes out dazed but ok. So realistic!!

Awesome stuff, do you have an Arnie comparison?

It would be cool to see them going head to head - although not so much now, but in their prime.

I don't want to see Clint Eastwood doing those scenes either!

Actually the First Blood was the first movie to discuss the PTSD of returning Vietnam Vets (a gutsy move as the Vietnam War had only ended a decade before) which had been a taboo subject in Hollywood.

So I give the producer kudos for that. Unfortunately the subsequent films turned a good subject matter into the loathsome war films I detest that portray war as a good thing. Its sad because before Rambo you had some really good war films like "Apocalypse Now" and "Iron Cross" that show war as the insane savage butchery that it is.

I don't understand what the big deal was about Apocalypse Now and Cross of Iron. Both were pretty lame.
Rambo 2 and 3 weren't good at all. A bit like Rocky how the franchise kind of lost its way. At least the last ones were pretty good. Rambo isn't realistic but I don't think it was ever meant to be.
