in my opinion, i think the best part of the final shootout with the burmese army was when Rambo caught that damn boy molesting general and gutted him like the swine was. watching Rambo rip open his belly was very satisfying in the end.
If you pause at 2:49, you will see a Christian realize that sometimes we have to take a life to preserve our own well-being. Even the Angels had swords because God knows you can't fight evil with hugs and kisses.
@@spamator12 Both are correct, the M1921, later upgraded and redesignated as the M2 was indeed designed to take down tanks. The problem was tanks adapted and thus the M2 became a general-purpose kill-everything but tanks weapon.
But I like how nobody is making jokes about killing or tries to be cool like marvel. They show that violence is serious and sad but sometimes necessary.
This scene is so much fun, it makes up for the over-the-top moralizing of the rest of the film. One thing it can't do though, is convey just how much louder a 50cal machine gun is compared to regular guns. 50 cal machine gun is terrifyingly loud in real-life. Whereas a regular infantry rifle sounds like "pop pop", a 50cal sounds like "BOOM BOOM" and you can't really capture that sheer difference in a movie. 50cal machine guns are actually louder than tank guns for some reason.
.50 BMG in most movies and videogames: Just an average, sniper rifle-type bullet, doesn't do anything too amazing. .50 BMG in this movie: So anyway... we decided to make it realistic.
Amazing how the bullets from the M-2 seem to hit everyone and rather squarely at that from that distance. He couldn't miss. I was entertained, but only because I suspended my disbelief.
Rambo reminds me of my old papa when he’d tell me stories about when he was in the war (ww2) one that always stuck with me was when he was in the trenches and he and his 16 men were being pinned back and low on bullets , they were down to 3 magazines and weirdly enough a bottle of whisky …. When the smoke cleared he and his 16 men were still alive and 84 Germans lay dead , the moral of that story is ,Never ever fuck with my papa when he had a whisky in him !
This film has lots of brutal deaths, yet the most savage of them is around 2:40 with simplest tool (a rock) in most personal manner. Dramatic effect is made stronger with killer being most pacifistic character of entire film.
I want to play THIS video game! We need a new Soldier of Fortune game complete with rag doll physics, fluid simulation, high definition textures, and deformable/destructible environments and bodies!
Apparently the original idea was that Rambo would carry the .50 cal machine gun and mow down the enemy but it was too heavy so he used the jeep instead.
The second guy had a beautiful fucking death, one second the guy was sitting in the jeep the next second his body was liquified; best part is he realized what was about to happen to him and even tried to run, we also get a look at the lower half of his body falling off the jeep's seat haha! Then again, almost all deaths in this scene were beautiful (a guy cut in half, a guy disemboweled and of course the guys burned to death). Bravo Rambo 4, bravo!
