Rocky, 100%.

No contest.

I'd take Ivan Drago over them both tbh.

It's Rambo for me, even though we never got much concerning his back story.

Something about his pre military life and his family would have been nice.

Mr T as Clubber Lang was a role he was born to play.

Better than his A Team role.

"Which one?"

•

If it's for Åfternoon Teå, then it's Rambo. He had a certain 'je ne sais quoi about him'. He could be quite dainty with a teacup.

Hard to choose. But the childishness in me put a school tie around my head and told me Rambo. So we’ll go with that.

"It's Rambo for me, even though we never got much concerning his back story.

You need to read David Morrell's novel First Blood, on which the film was based.

Rambo (he has no first name) is younger in the book, 22/23. The book was published in '72, and Rambo is fresh back from Vietnam.

Totally different to the film. Disturbed by his war experiences, once triggered by his arrest, he becomes a ruthless killer. Kills loads of people.

I read it when I was about 16, so over thirty years ago, but I recall there was background on his early life and Green Beret training, and what happened to him in Vietnam.

But be warned, it will ruin the idea of Rambo as a good guy.

Beat me to it, also different ending in the book than the film. The book is a brilliant read and if I remember right David Morrell wrote Rambo 2 book as well.

However it only just beats Rocky 1 & 2 both decent films.

Read that too. It's just a crap novelization of the film. But agree the original book was good.

Around the time of the film they showed a documentary on BBC about real-life Rambos, Vietnam veterans who were left disturbed by the war and had gotten into trouble back home. All were isolated, some living rough in the woods, another had joined a motorcycle gang.

I remember one navy special forces veteran saying he was asleep at home, his mother had come in and shook him to wake him, next thing he knew he'd nearly throttled her to death. He took off that day and had been using his training to live in the woods ever since.

I had it on video but it's long gone

Rocky obviously (except the one that shall never be named!)… plus rocky also spins off into creed… which gets it more points!

Wait long enough and they'll turn anything into a series.

Here's just some of the upcoming ones:

Alien

Blade Runner 2099

The Continental (from John Wick, but only a three part series)
