GALT WAS KILLED WHEN HE FELL OUT OF THE HELICOPTER....... It was Karma that got him... HE WAS GONNA KILL JOHN!!! Â That movie came out BEFORE THIS P.C.

The Joker   10 #3 Posted March 21, 2015 That movie came out BEFORE THIS P.C. CRAP STARTED luckily (1982) and was able to be ALL IT COULD!! (Its excellent)  Were you watching it sober, or. . .?  Anyway, did films back then actually have a political message, or was it just a case of blowing things up on screen = bums on seats at the cinema?

The two that followed were largely nonsense but the first still stands up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Joker   10 #9 Posted March 24, 2015 The first one is actually pretty good, and if you strip away some of the explosions there's quite a strong message about how Vietnam vets were treated when they got back. The two that followed were largely nonsense but the first still stands up.  I'm a bit too young to remember the Vietnam War and when I first watched a pirate VHS video copy of Rambo 1 back in the late 1980s I thought the local Police arrested him 'cos they didn't want any vagrants / transients / homeless people staying in their quaint little town.  Really, I thought the Police and Army vets were "on the same side" as it were.  Awww how cute  Thanks, I thought it was a lovely heart-warming story too. All those cuddly bears and flying ponies and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
