Happy Birthday, Charles
Where is Rambo when we need him. I don't care if Stallone has to travel in a tricked-out wheelchair, he could find Osama bin Laden and all those terrorists. Why isn't he called? Maybe it is because of bureaucrats like our birthday boy, Charles Napier. Playing Marshall Murdock, who sent Rambo in to hopefully find nothing so Congress could shut up those looking for our missing. This is the best part of the movie, when Rambo tells Murdock, "Murdock... I'm coming to get you!" And the sequence when he arrives back at the base - priceless.
I don't care if this was reportedly one of the very worst movies of 1985. It is a guilty pleasure to go back to again and again. Steven Berkoff, who was also a superb Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop, is a superb Lt. Col. Podovsky in this film. And, Julia Nickson-Soul in her first film? Well, I can only say, terrific! If you want special effects and loud action, then this is the movie for you. If you need a vicarious experience against government bureaucrats, come here! If you want to see the one person who could have saved us from an invasion of Iraq if we had only sent him after Osama, here he is! And, Charles, you gave us a great character to hate her, so have a happy birthday.

My favorite film listed under my profile is True Romance.......There is three films that I have seen more then anything though..........Heat, Aliens, and Rambo part 2. I owned 2 VHS tapes when I was young......Aliens and Rambo 2 and I watched one or the other everyday. I can just about tell you the script line for line and this movie is in my top 5 favorites. I know its not a remarkable piece of film history or anything but I just really like it. This film might have been claimed one of the worst but it made over 300 million dollars worldwide......the most successful film of the franchise.
I am really looking foward to Rambo 4............ |
