[edit] Awards won removed

I removed this section because it is impossible. The Golden Raspberries are awarded for the WORST categories, not best.

Golden Raspberry Awards:

  • Won:
  1. Best Picture
  2. Best Screenplay
  3. Best Actor (Sylvester Stallone)
  4. Best "Original" Song (Peace in Our Life)
  • Nominated:
  1. Best Supporting Actress (Julia Nickson)
  2. Best Director (George P. Cosmatos)
  3. Best New Star (Julia Nickson)

[edit] Quote

I like Rambo quotes as much as the next guy, but the quote on this page was way too long and also incorrect. The quote had Trautman saying "the war, everything that happened here maybe wrong, but damn it don't hate your country for it" and Rambo replying "hey, I'd die for it." Why the hell would Rambo say, "hey, I'd die for it"? He says, "Hate? I'd die for it."

Anyways, if we started putting in our favorite quotes from movies, every Wiki page would become cluttered trash. That was a great scene from the movie, but that's what it was, a scene - not a quote.

[edit] external links

This page had no external links, so I added links to stallone's official site, IMDb, and Moviecheat.com. That last is my own; it provides synopses and spoilers, and there's some great stuff in our Rambo articles. It's totally legit and content-based; I'm a real person and it's a real site, and I think truly worth linking from here. Here's our First Blood Part II page: [1]. I've checked the rules and it shouldn't be a problem to add this as long as it's relevant and informative. But if anyone truly has a problem, feel free to revert.Rasi2290

[edit] Metal Gear Solid

The section that discusses the Rambo franchise vis-a-vis Metal Gear Solid is nothing short of inane superfluous trivia. And that's me being charitable. Why has Metal Gear Solid been singled out? Perhaps the similarities are striking; however, one could well argue that Rambo has influenced countless genres and mediums.

This section should be deleted, or moved to the article on Metal Gear Solid.

[edit] trivia section

I erased a couple of requested citations regarding Rambos military service and destroying a POW camp. All you have to do is watch the movie to get the answers. Murdock claims Rambo had 59 confirmed kills. He also destroys the POW camp/village. You can watch clips of it here.
