“Add Two and a Half Men to my chart.”
I’m not sure Rambo knows basic math, but from the looks of this spiffy new Rambo Death Chart (!!!) attached below, he’s too busy chain-gunning evildoers and furry critter bystanders, anyhow. Wow. I’m talking “three kills a minute for the entire film” wow. For the sake of spoilers, I won’t strip down like the chemistry teacher in Breaking Bad and roll around popping huge ’80s era squibs like bubble wrap right now, but let’s just say Rambo aka Rambo IV has a good 100 more deaths than former frag-champ Rambo III. And the good guys get their fair share of the blackness as well.
I remember when I first read the plot to Rambo I thought Sly was slyly but worrisomely going straight for the Passion of the Christ crowd. Then again, considering the red flow here, maybe he still is. View the numbers after the jump, and cheers to John Mueller at the L.A. Times for his numerical prowess. January 25th is officially Rambo Day.
And he keeps his shirt on! But is that a bad thing?

Yeah this film looks ridiculous. I saw a leaked trailer for it when it was first announced, and it was BRUTAL. Now i have nothing against a little violence in a movie…Sometimes it’s called for. Rambo on the other hand is just stupid. 3 people killed a minute!? So basically the whole film is people getting killed. This is more like a snuff film than an action flick. I enjoyed the first Rambo film, and as you can see by that chart up there, there wasn’t even that much killing. Senseless murdering doesn’t make a good movie.

No hate speech allowed on comments but the author of the article is allowed to stereotype all he wants… nice.

In all seriousness, I just noticed that there is a severed limb - an entire friggin’ arm! - in the above photo. Even when I’m blogging and randomly choosing an image for a post, Rambo is stacking bodies.
Look at that arm! HAH.

I saw this last night. It was great. The story was solid, the action was there and it was the most fun I’ve had in a theater since I was a kid and saw Clash of the Titans. I’m a cinephile and loved There Will Be Blood, Juno and a lot of the movies that are critical favorites. But honestly, Rambo was just as good as any of those. I’m sure there’s a million film-snobs who are repulsed by that statement. But all pretentiousness aside, this movie is a blast. And the crowd was so into it I felt like I was at a concert. Oh, and the violence was not senseless on Rambo’s part. He was protecting people from those who commit senseless violence.

First Blood actually has two deaths…..Brian Dennehy and that dude who falls out of the helicopter when Rambone throws a rock at it.

Brian Dennehy’s character didn’t die in first blood. He is carried out alive on a stretcher at the end.
