Remember in the 80s when they tried to make every movie look like a RAMBO movie?

:bouncegiggle: Most of them even steal Stalone's pose, big gun, pointed towards the upper right side of the poster. Neat gallery, thank you.
I love DEADLY PREY. That movie is insane! GI EXECUTIONER...I recall what I saw (I was with my stepson Jimbo and we were drunk as f**k)-was BAD (in a good way!)

Arnold as John Matrix in
Commando. :wink:
You just don't find that level of testosterone in movies these days.
OMG that is so cool. I know there are others with similar poses and artwork, I just can't think of them at the moment.
Zombie #1 - that movie is f**king awesome!
completely OTT 80's cheese, yes I love it
And then there's the South African version of Rambo: White Ghost. :buggedout: :buggedout:

One of the so-called "subsidy films" of the 1980s.

That sounds like an early 80's arcade game. :wink:
(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))

I bought a DVD-R copy of this several years ago. The movie doesn't contain nearly enough blasting or fighting.
yeah it starts off like it will, then it turns into some protracted and emotional father/daughter bonding type movie after about 20 mins.
that poster is cool though
And then, there's this idiot :wink:

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
