I have Rambo, the first one and the last one he did. That’s it. Sequels by other people, meh. Just like the first Star Wars movie, the ending was great. Then came the nauseating sequel after sequel ....
Wasn’t the second one the really big one?
I watched the first Star Wars movie 27 times in the theater. That number is so high because I often went in for the matinee and watched every showing the rest of the day.
I was like George McFly in the early 60’s and would rush home from school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to watch “science fiction theater”. I even saw the first Star Trek “sneak Preview”, “The Man Trap”.
I was sort of obsessed with Science fiction back then.
But anyway, just to say you are right. The only Sequel I really liked was “The Empire Strikes Back”. I used to call it “Star Wars for adults”.
And not to put too fine a point on it, Star Wars was not science fiction. It was really Space Fantasy.
But yeah, I liked the first Rambo. Then it got lame, except for a single line in a sequel: “Do we get to win this time?”
