(Actually, there was an arcade game called Astro Fighter: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6947 (https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6947)) Title: Re: When every movie looked like RAMBO.

The movie doesn't contain nearly enough blasting or fighting. Title: Re: When every movie looked like RAMBO. Post by: zombie no.one on August 04, 2018, 05:39:36 PM yeah it starts off like it will, then it turns into some protracted and emotional father/daughter bonding type movie after about 20 mins.

Title: Re: When every movie looked like RAMBO. Post by: bob on August 11, 2018, 07:59:46 PM I had no idea that where were so many Rambo rip-offs way back then. I'm not that surprised at that, but I'm astonished by the sheer number of rip offs movies there are.
Title: Re: When every movie looked like RAMBO. Post by: The Burgomaster on August 12, 2018, 06:29:27 AM I had no idea that where were so many Rambo rip-offs way back then. I'm not that surprised at that, but I'm astonished by the sheer number of rip offs movies there are. I worked in a video rental store during the RAMBO craze. Some of the rip-offs were: 1. Older movies that they released on video with new box covers 2. Movies that were NOTHING like Rambo - - they just arbitrarily put a guy holding a machine gun on the box cover |
