I think the best Rambo movie was the first one, the one with Brian Dennehee
(sp?) as the sheriff. As Roger points out, its all B-movie stuff anyway.
 
I'm not really a big fan of recent trends of re-hashing movies, the Die
Hard 4.0 / Live Free or Die Hard was a bit of the reverse - the originals
were very violent action movies but the new one was toned down for PG13 and
its stunts and special effects just seemed a bit too cartoonish and
over-the-top.
