Sylvester Stallone and His Friends' Films Podcast

Continuing Season 3 of It’s a Long Road with special guest Dan from the Retrospectors YouTube channel (Sega retro gaming & online multiplayer on original hardware)! We break down key early Rambo III scenes: Rambo’s refusal of the Afghanistan mission (“I’m not ready yet”), the contemplative rooftop moments, Troutman’s bizarrely planned nighttime operation that goes sideways, and Rambo’s decision to go in unofficially.

Dan shares how he discovered the podcast via James Rolfe, his Sega roots (Phantasy Star stories!), and how a younger fan found Rocky & Rambo in the early 2000s. Like, comment your thoughts on the mission planning, and subscribe!

0:5252 secondsYouTube channel Dan how you doing I'm doing good man I'm glad to be here I've uh watched I've been watching your show for the past uh maybe like about three
1:011 minute, 1 secondfour weeks and uh I just can't believe that there's someone out there that has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to Rambo and Rocky and I mean I'm a big fan
1:091 minute, 9 secondsoh well that's very that's very kind of you uh the fact that anyone watches my show I'm always surprised anyone does watch the show so thank you Dan yeah so
1:181 minute, 18 secondsyou said you've only been watching for a few weeks so how did you stumble I'm just kind of curious I because I'm just a small potato uh podcast YouTube
1:251 minute, 25 secondschannel how did you discover the Ramble podcast you did an episode with uh James Rolfe as a guest and I've been watching
1:331 minute, 33 secondshim since like 2006 so he has the whole Angry Video Game Nerd show so that's how I stumbled upon it and I was like oh I
1:411 minute, 41 secondsknow that you know James he loves Rambo and Rocky and like oh there's a Rambo podcast like how how have I not heard about this before and uh I discovered
1:491 minute, 49 secondsyour your Rambo YouTube first and then I was you know I watched some episodes and then I discovered the Discord and then that's when I discovered there's a Rocky
1:571 minute, 57 secondsone so I'm subscribed to both channels wow and yeah that's the algorithm that I'm always hoping for so I've got one person one person found the algorithm oh
2:062 minutes, 6 secondsyeah you gotta game that algorithm oh man one I appreciate it uh no it's so it's really fun so of course Dan's speaking about the uh one more round
2:152 minutes, 15 secondspodcast that I do as based on the rocky series with my guest hosts or my guest host Mike always hosts Acadian Kyle that
2:222 minutes, 22 secondsshow the reason why Dan is on this episode is because on the ramble one what I wanted to do for those who might be listening to this episode for the
2:292 minutes, 29 secondsfirst time because of Dan I'm sure the people are kind of convolution because of you I have rotating guest Souls I kind of wanted with the Rambo one that
2:372 minutes, 37 secondsone have different voices different people from different projects and backgrounds come on and share their stories of Rambo of the ramble franchise
2:452 minutes, 45 secondsof Sly and their fandom now before we get into ramble of course I do want to talk about James Rolfe a little bit because I went to your channel of course to see make
2:542 minutes, 54 secondssure you're not you know I had to make sure that you don't sound like a [ __ ] I invited you on it was me that invited you off it's like okay so this guy commented on my podcast which is really
3:023 minutes, 2 secondscool I saw that you had a your own YouTube channel so like I want to see what he does first let's talk about what is it you do on your YouTube channel yeah it's mostly just retro video games
3:113 minutes, 11 secondsmostly Sega I play a lot of Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast and thanks to like a bunch of hackers and Geniuses on the
3:183 minutes, 18 secondsinternet they managed to like revive the online functionality of these old systems so you can actually play these old games on the original Hardware
3:263 minutes, 26 secondsonline that's what I do I make videos based on that because there's not a lot of exposure on YouTube of people playing
3:323 minutes, 32 secondsSega Dreamcast online multiplayer or anything like that you took words out my mouth because I saw your latest video and you're doing this online I guess
3:403 minutes, 40 secondslike the decathlon Sega game and yeah playing online it's like has he played online against another person on this
3:463 minutes, 46 secondsyeah CD was the Sega CD I guess Saturn Sega Saturn so you were using the hardware and I had to say okay I'm a
3:543 minutes, 54 secondsSega boy so I I'm 17 years old than you so keep in mind when you know when I was 17 I was almost not playing video games anymore because that's what kids do that
4:014 minutes, 1 secondwas back in the day right yeah oh yeah so but I was a Sega kid I had the Sega Master I mean I bought everything I bought every system until Sega stopped
4:094 minutes, 9 secondsmaking consoles I was that guy and then but I never knew that there would be a you know like when you own a 69 Ford Mustang in 1969 you never thought at the
4:184 minutes, 18 secondstime that people were gonna think this is a classic car so to speak exactly yeah so I was one of those guys who owned the Sega sold the old one bought the new one sold the old one bought the
4:264 minutes, 26 secondsnew one so I never came so I never kept any of them not knowing there'd be some sort of YouTube or any kind of algorithms or channels that
4:344 minutes, 34 secondspeople would create these games on or memory lane on but anyways I love Sega I'm gonna say good boy there's little tiny communities out there little pockets little discords you can find
4:424 minutes, 42 secondsthere's people that play all kinds of any retro video game system there is a Discord out there with a Die Hard fan base for it so
4:494 minutes, 49 secondsyes we have this core there's a Die Hard fan base for Rocky and ramble by Discord so it's fun Discord is a great software
4:564 minutes, 56 secondsfree and great for nerds I guess yeah so my first Sega game that long-term role-playing game that I finished was this was Fantasy Star I don't know if
5:055 minutes, 5 secondsyou ever played Fantasy Star or heard of it we've made videos on Fantasy Star yeah I love that game you're talking about the Master System version oh yeah
5:125 minutes, 12 secondsthe eight Mega oh my God yeah I can't believe you played so you played that game back when it was relevant okay I bought it for 99. whatever it was 1988.
5:235 minutes, 23 secondsI think yeah it was a very expensive game it was like the biggest game at the time it was bigger than Final Fantasy yeah and everything yeah that I gotta I
5:315 minutes, 31 secondsgot to ask you did you beat that game back in the day hey you want to hear a story want to hear a story this is a truth yeah I would love to hear a story okay so I was a video game nerd again a
5:395 minutes, 39 secondsSega nerd and of course this was back in the day with no internet uh just yeah so I had gave me magazines I would go and I would buy gaming gaming magazines every
5:475 minutes, 47 secondsevery week every month whenever they came out had a variety of different ones I forget the titles of them Sego whatever they showed of course the in
5:545 minutes, 54 secondsthe magazine the uh picture of this upcoming game called Fantasy Star versus a role-playing game they showed the picture of the sand worm coming out oh
6:026 minutes, 2 seconds13 year old kid's eyes in 1888. it looked like I was watching a virtual reality like I just took the graphics it
6:096 minutes, 9 secondslooks so real I was like I'm getting in this game off that one screenshot of just this warm looking creature coming out of the sand I knew I had to buy this
6:166 minutes, 16 secondsgame lo and behold I bought it Mom plug your ears I skipped school in eighth grade skip school to finish this game I had like I was playing at endless hours
6:256 minutes, 25 secondsnow I got to the part of the game at the end where you had to plant a seed I think that the cat's name creature was
6:326 minutes, 32 secondsMayu or something my yep yep okay and you had to plant the seed whatever that seed was to get up to the Cloud City I couldn't find where to plant this thing
6:406 minutes, 40 secondsI would go over with Camp plant here can't plant here can't plant here now listen up kids there was no internet so all I had was this Gaming magazine that
6:476 minutes, 47 secondsI subscribed to so I wrote to the gaming makers to Sega whatever hoping that a they would get my letter B that they
6:566 minutes, 56 secondswould answer my letter in the magazine so one month goes by my Letter's not in the back two months go by my answer to my questions on them so I'm waiting to
7:047 minutes, 4 secondsupset so the third month goes by finally they actually answered you know Ryan here you go this is where you plant the
7:117 minutes, 11 secondsseed I waited three months to find out where it was so we planted the seat I finished the game died numerous times on the end boss finished it see if I can
7:197 minutes, 19 secondsfind it but I actually took a film photograph picture of the final screenshot to prove that I finished the game they also sent that into the
7:277 minutes, 27 secondsmagazine because back then they used to have you ascend in your pictures to prove to the gaming companies that you finished their game yeah I was too young for that time but I mean the fact that
7:367 minutes, 36 secondsyou beat that game without any internet is insane I mean you must have wandered around aimlessly not knowing where to go next no game guys no Quest markers
7:447 minutes, 44 secondsthere's no dungeon markers I think the dungeons were random generated too I wonder what the hours were hundreds of hours spent hundreds had to have been
7:537 minutes, 53 secondshad to have been so that's such a good story though I'm glad you shared it I had no idea it's such a coincidence that was like oh yeah
8:018 minutes, 1 secondI'm stuck on this zone or this level they got guys like you giving me a walk through but when I was 13 years old in 1988 there was no walkthroughs man it
8:108 minutes, 10 secondswas literally those were the dog days of video games you just had to pound through and keep trying and trying trying did you play the games on Genesis Fantasy Star two and three and four yeah
8:198 minutes, 19 secondsabsolutely yeah oh wow that's awesome I never got into Fantasy Star online because once I became an adult so to speak right I just got busy with life
8:278 minutes, 27 secondsjobs work kids I have a family I had a family young and I still play video games I love them in fact I just bought a couple on Steam today with their sales
8:358 minutes, 35 secondsand but I'm more of a single player again I still play like games like Fallout Witcher 3 I'm still that single player I can't play online games because
8:438 minutes, 43 secondsbecause every time I do I get destroyed so I just casual gaming by myself no pressure no joining the party or group
8:508 minutes, 50 secondsjust yeah oh yeah you'll be versing like all the little kids out there that just play the game all day and you don't stand a chance against them my kids are
8:588 minutes, 58 secondspulling people they go play go play uh what is it that new one or sword into fortnite oh yeah they're on there destroying people and I'm like I
9:059 minutes, 5 secondsguarantee the uh some poor 20 odd year old that probably doesn't want to know they just got killed by my eight-year-old son yeah yeah exactly it just came home from work they want to
9:139 minutes, 13 secondsrelax and they're getting their ass kicked yeah a seven-year-old so on your channel it's Sega focused yeah mostly I
9:209 minutes, 20 secondsmean I'm not opposed to making Nintendo game videos or anything like that but that Sega just happens to be what I'm
9:279 minutes, 27 secondsreally into that's cool at the most and I got one more question one more video game question did you play Rambo 3 on the Genesis dude every Stallone game
9:359 minutes, 35 secondsthere was I played it absolutely every story I had that game too yeah nice and I had the rocky game for the Sega I think it was just the Sega Master System
9:439 minutes, 43 secondswas the Rocket game and you only had you only fought four people it was literally Apollo was it just three maybe I know the last guy was Drago maybe just they
9:529 minutes, 52 secondsliterally it was just three people I think it was just the three yeah I think that sounds about right it was just three yeah and Drago was near impossible but again hundreds of hours and you
9:599 minutes, 59 secondsfinally just do it it's like and he had like mixed training you had to hit hit the speedway or whatever yeah anything Sly related I would own
10:0710 minutes, 7 secondsvideos video games magazines yeah I said that's awesome check out Dan's uh YouTube channel put that in the show
10:1410 minutes, 14 secondsnotes if you're Video Game Nerd and one last thing before we go into the ramble and SCI fandom Yeah you mentioned James roll so that's how you so how did you
10:2210 minutes, 22 secondsknow that he was on my show I'm just curious how did you get the word of that so there's a cinematic or subreddit James has like a subreddit dedicated to
10:3010 minutes, 30 secondshim and somebody posted the video on the subreddit and I just saw it on my Reddit feed and I was like oh wow okay I just
10:3810 minutes, 38 secondsclicked on it and that was it you know him as the character and personality so to speak yeah I thought it was awesome I
10:4510 minutes, 45 secondslike the format in general like you you just talk a little bit you watch a clip you dissect the clip I remember you said that you discovered him because he he
10:5310 minutes, 53 secondsdid the rocky jumped the park bench yeah he probably doesn't get that very often yeah he might have he might have liked
11:0111 minutes, 1 secondit yeah I've had him twice on the show I've had him on the rocky podcast back I mentioned that episode back when I was I didn't even know how to do YouTube videos or whatever it was a horrible I
11:0911 minutes, 9 secondsalmost want to re-edit it like Redux it because it's just I think it's okay but you know I look back back at it it's kind of cringe to watch I don't know if
11:1711 minutes, 17 secondsyou ever feel away about some of your early videos that that Old Rocky video with with James yeah I went back and I I did a
11:2411 minutes, 24 secondsdeep dive on your channels and uh it was fine it was fine that's just the thing sometimes you watch your own videos and you think it's cringe but it's fine okay
11:3211 minutes, 32 secondsI appreciate it you're too kind boy now however I just watched your episode about his 10 worst videos how did you get all that like how did you know his
11:4111 minutes, 41 secondsvideos enough to even come up with the top 10 worst list what happened was when I was in Middle School in like 2003 2004 2005. I was collecting retro systems
11:5011 minutes, 50 secondslike I grew up with as a Nintendo kid but I got a Sega Genesis in sixth grade in 2003 and I got Rambo 3 was one of the
11:5811 minutes, 58 secondsfirst games I got Fantasy Star Sonic games nice and so I was collecting retro video game systems between 2003 and
12:0612 minutes, 6 seconds2005. so when Angry Video Game Nerd came out in 2006 I was like oh wow like there's someone else that cares about
12:1412 minutes, 14 secondsretro video games so oh okay okay it was a big deal to me and I just stuck with him I've been a big big fan ever since and I mean I don't want to talk too bad
12:2312 minutes, 23 secondsabout him here but he it's just not the same and I you can't make a top 10 worst videos on something unless you're like a
12:3112 minutes, 31 secondsbig big fan okay so that's all I'm gonna say about that yeah I don't want to get into the James not the Hate's not the right word because he was very kind and
12:3912 minutes, 39 secondsgracious to me as a guest however it's still kind of fascinating to read some of the stuff I read on Reddit regarding some I don't know what it is there's
12:4712 minutes, 47 secondssome toxic fandom I guess you could say regarding the Angry Video Game Nerd people were commenting about my video on YouTube what are you guys talking about
12:5512 minutes, 55 secondsthose comments yeah I was like wow like I don't even know what you're saying like about this or ask them about that or what I don't know what you're talking about and people like don't worry about
13:0313 minutes, 3 secondsit but it's a whole thing and I think one of the criticism was I saw it in your videos what was the criticism per se but you're saying some of the videos that weren't that great were because he
13:1113 minutes, 11 secondswasn't writing them anymore it sounds like he might have outsourced some of his content so to speak to other creators or writers to kind of my not
13:1913 minutes, 19 secondsdefense of that but I kind of I actually did ask him about editing I mean if you remember in the video of like I do remember that yeah like who do you get
13:2613 minutes, 26 secondsto edit your stuff because once you give it to somebody else they're going to you know how do you know what jokes land or because I edit my own stuff one
13:3513 minutes, 35 secondsbecause I can't afford an editor but two because there's things that I don't like things that I'll cringe about like all that joke didn't land or whatever it might be so I want to take stuff out
13:4313 minutes, 43 secondslike I want to have complete control so I guess he's sort of has outsourced some things he didn't say that in my interview but I already kind of knew that criticism so
13:5013 minutes, 50 secondsI didn't want to lead him to that discussion but I was kind of asking him in a roundabout way how do you you're poking a little bit on when you asked them that yeah I was I didn't want to
13:5913 minutes, 59 secondsBlindside him but I also was just curious about how he finds the time to kind of do everything so I think his Empire so to speak has just gone big
14:0714 minutes, 7 secondsenough where he can do that it's a brand now and there's no shame in that there's and he's kind of like the CEO of the brand and so you Outsource stuff so I
14:1414 minutes, 14 secondsdon't know if that's really a criticism so much as maybe old-time fans might feel cheated I guess because it's not all his voice you said it perfectly I
14:2314 minutes, 23 secondsmean from my perspective when you watch his old videos and you watch the new videos I mean there's a big disconnect and uh but again you're right though I
14:3114 minutes, 31 secondsmean I kind of don't blame him either I mean he's got kids he's got a family I mean how can you do the same thing for 20 years and yeah I mean he's making
14:3914 minutes, 39 secondsmoney I mean he's checked out but he can keep doing it because it doesn't matter if the quality declines he can still get
14:4714 minutes, 47 secondspaid sure there's no shame that I get it it's like a think of one of your favorite bands that might have been around for 30 40 years at some point they're just playing their greatest hits
14:5514 minutes, 55 secondsthe old fans like come on man play something different play The Deep Cuts man I've been the fan for 35 years and you're like wow the band's like dude
15:0315 minutes, 3 secondsyou know just be happy we're playing anything you know we've checked out we're the creative juices are gone that goes for every artist so I think James is just human I think the creative
15:1115 minutes, 11 secondsjuices at some point they deplete you're just same thing with famous actors and actresses maybe like there was a point in their career where they picked every role and they were very passionate but
15:1915 minutes, 19 secondsnow they just take roles to like get a paycheck it's the same thing while I'm still in the hungry phase I'm not gonna pay for this garbage I'll tell you that
15:2715 minutes, 27 secondsthis is totally a hobby for me I've never yeah I do this as a hobby I have a job I pay the bills and pays my mortgage but this is my hobby okay so Dan how did
15:3715 minutes, 37 secondsyou I mean you're 30 years old okay like I said in video games and even pop culture years you're like 100 years behind me so how did you come across Sly
15:4515 minutes, 45 secondsand ramble and Rocky because again when in 1990 how old were you I was born in 92. so 1990 Rocky five comes out that's
15:5315 minutes, 53 secondswhat I'm getting it at okay so you're not you're two years away from existing and I'm seeing Rocky 5 in the theaters as a 15 year old already kind of long in
16:0216 minutes, 2 secondsthe tooth of the rocky Series so how does somebody like you kind of become a fan of Rocky and ramble the year around the year 2000 that's when we
16:1016 minutes, 10 secondsrented First Blood the scene where when Rambo's getting shaven and he he gets like a flashback to like getting cut in
16:1916 minutes, 19 secondsthe chest like to me that I never saw anything like that and that was really I mean at the time for me like that was really gory and also the fact that the
16:2916 minutes, 29 secondscop was the bad guy I never that whole dynamic of like bad cops didn't exist to me yet at my in my
16:3616 minutes, 36 secondseight-year-old brain when he like goes to live in the wilderness and he's you know he's taken them out one by one but he's not killing them and I remember
16:4316 minutes, 43 secondswhen I was a kid I wanted I wanted him to kill them because I was just so on Rambo's side all the way I really
16:5016 minutes, 50 secondsenjoyed First Blood and basically it was Rambo 2 when we rented First Blood Part Two that's when I was like wow like this
16:5816 minutes, 58 secondsis I I you know as an adult I I have so much to say about Rambo 2 but I know that as a kid I was just thinking like oh so this is
17:0717 minutes, 7 secondswhat they were talking about like he's agree I didn't know what a Green Beret was I didn't know about uh like Vietnam the Vietnam War I didn't know anything
17:1517 minutes, 15 secondsabout that so but I did put two and two together like oh okay so like this is who he is he is a you know a killing
17:2217 minutes, 22 secondsmachine I loved Rambo 2 and then Rambo 3 which as an adult I can say Rambo 3 is like my second least favorite after
17:3117 minutes, 31 secondsRambo 5 being my least favorite um but as a kid Rambo 3 was my number one favorite I loved Rambo three I loved I loved how it was just action all the
17:3917 minutes, 39 secondstime and it was it's a little campy sure there's some comedy in ramble three it's the comedy film it's it's the funny Rambo yeah it's it's a movie honestly
17:4817 minutes, 48 secondsramble three like it kind of has no good reason to exist it's a Blockbuster movie it's a it's a money making movie you know Rambo one and two they have a good
17:5717 minutes, 57 secondsreason to exist I think some people actually dismiss Rambo 2 they say oh yeah first blood is the only the good one and then it got stupid and it's like
18:0418 minutes, 4 secondsI I don't think that I think Rambo one and two are fine and Rambo 3 is the one where it got kind of you know a little
18:1118 minutes, 11 secondsunnecessary but I did see Rambo 4 in theaters you know I was there for that nice so how old were you that would have been 2008. I was 15 yeah I was 15 years
18:2118 minutes, 21 secondsold dad had to take it because that was pretty hard r at the time there oh yeah he took me he took me we went together yeah good man good man your fathers so
18:2918 minutes, 29 secondswe can thank your dad for renting the movies taking you to ramble I would assume he's the one that got you to watch that stuff yeah basically yeah and he was the one that he used to always
18:3718 minutes, 37 secondstell me to watch Rocky and I I would put it off and then it wasn't until like maybe seventh like 2004 when I was like
18:4418 minutes, 44 seconds12 that's when I saw Rocky one and then we I watched all five of them in like a weekend nice that's actually a good age I think ramble you can kind of get away
18:5318 minutes, 53 secondswith I I've showed my son's oh I am my daughter I guess I should exclude her but my boys particularly love the ramble character but I showed
19:0119 minutes, 1 secondthem at eight eight was when I started showing them but I actually kind of wait for Rocky for a later age for the same reason because it's drama driven right it's you got it's a little more mature
19:1019 minutes, 10 secondsyeah yeah for sure whereas Rambo is kind of I can't especially two two and three are very much just eye candy for kids uh four I do wait for them to be a little
19:1919 minutes, 19 secondsbit older because it is quite violent definitely it's quite quite dark it is actually quite brutal dark I'm looking for it I love ramble for so much yeah oh
19:2619 minutes, 26 secondswell maybe we'll get you back on though that the round before season is really building for people wanting to Guest House on that one oh I'm sure I mean
19:3419 minutes, 34 secondsthere's just so much to say about that one and it's on a very long film it's like 80 minutes it's a good run time it's perfect it's a perfect run time okay well this is where you and I might
19:4319 minutes, 43 secondsdisagree if we have you on we'll save a friend before that discussion for season four because I have some thoughts on the runtime but we'll that'll be a good discussion for That season okay okay oh
19:5119 minutes, 51 secondsyeah so great so awesome so that's how you discovered this podcast it's really cool to have you on I love always talking to other creators has always
19:5819 minutes, 58 secondsbeen my goal with the Ramble podcast was to talk to other creators in general oh well I'm glad I'm doing an okay job because this is my first time doing a
20:0520 minutes, 5 secondspodcast at all well your YouTube channel is a podcast really in the sense of you're describing something and you're sharing it and you're putting yourself
20:1320 minutes, 13 secondsout there that's true I guess so yeah it's like a vlog I guess yeah yeah okay so this is your first podcast okay fair enough oh wow all right well so far so
20:2220 minutes, 22 secondsgood I won't kick you off yet you're fine okay good all right okay now with all that what we're gonna do is we're gonna watch some sequences from the film
20:2920 minutes, 29 secondstalk about what we just saw oh I should have asked you when's the last time you saw this film Rambo 3 uh like about two weeks ago oh okay perfect oh man I'm
20:3720 minutes, 37 secondsglad you chose this scene because I have a lot to say about this part oh really okay great yeah for those who are listening uh we just I forget this guy's
20:4520 minutes, 45 secondsname but the guy I played by Kurt what's his name Kurt I had a last episode because I saw the credits it was the guy that was in the 70s Show in Robocop
20:5220 minutes, 52 secondsremember him in Robocop this actor uh I remember his name is red and in the 70s Show right okay I thought well I'd ever watched that show I've seen it but I
21:0021 minutesnever watched it if that makes sense so yeah like I know Ashton Kutcher was in a Mila Kunis and right Kirkwood Smith that's his name Kirkwood Smith I think it just came to me okay so anyways he's
21:1021 minutes, 10 secondsgot a great voice he's also great in Robocop troutman's ass Rumble hey come come join me on this Mission and I was like no thanks so he rabble walks away
21:1921 minutes, 19 seconds[Music]
21:2721 minutes, 27 secondsokay what was your overall thoughts on the stick fighting sequence at the beginning of the film the only part that really sticks out to me is the fact that
21:3621 minutes, 36 secondsafter the fight is over Rambo sticks his hand out to kind of like help him up you know it's just kind of show that Rambo he's no hard feelings you know Rambo
21:4321 minutes, 43 secondsdoesn't hate why would Rambo hate this guy you know it's just a sport and then he he takes the money and then he gives the money to like the some kids I think
21:5121 minutes, 51 secondsor yeah he takes his winnings and gives it away yeah right he's a hero and just to show you that ramble's a good guy yeah
21:5921 minutes, 59 secondsand I love the sequence here so so Rambo is now back I guess that is hot or his place that he lives this looks like a pretty pretty good sized room actually
22:0722 minutes, 7 secondshe I love how he picks up a stick and of course this is Sly but this is Sly showing off that he's got some sort of stick skills he's twirling the stick in
22:1522 minutes, 15 secondshis hand I think it's to indicate that the ramble character he's always practicing he's practicing his stick movements as he's pondering what to do
22:2222 minutes, 22 secondsin this situation and I just think it's a funny little knot you know how rocky always does like his little Shadow punches when he walks down yeah yeah this is Rambo doing his little Shadow
22:3122 minutes, 31 secondslike I'm still practicing my stick skills even as I'm deep and thought about this Mission proposal
22:3722 minutes, 37 seconds[Music]
22:4122 minutes, 41 secondsjust following orders
22:4322 minutes, 43 seconds[Music]
22:4522 minutes, 45 secondsthis mission is important John do you really think we're going to make a difference if I didn't I wouldn't be going it didn't before that was another
22:5322 minutes, 53 secondstime come with me John
22:5922 minutes, 59 seconds[Music]
23:0223 minutes, 2 secondsI don't know what you think about this place but I like it I like being here I like working here
23:1023 minutes, 10 secondsI like belonging to something you do belong to something not this you know when I was a kid I didn't recognize this problem but you know as
23:1823 minutes, 18 secondsan adult I think it's kind of messed up that troutman's even here at all even trying to take him away from this peaceful place like oh yeah you do
23:2523 minutes, 25 secondsbelong to something you got to get out there and then leave Rambo alone man like he's been through enough like you're trying to recruit him to to do
23:3323 minutes, 33 secondsthis you're trying to talk him into this totally like totally agree so yeah the first film of course ramble at the end of the film
23:4123 minutes, 41 secondsis literally breaking down it to this man saying you know yeah the trauma of having this buddy blowing
23:5023 minutes, 50 secondsup in front of him with his legs and insides everywhere he's literally trying to put his friend back together again right and then in part two he's you know
23:5823 minutes, 58 secondsI want what they want and he's talking about that Journey you know I just want what everyone wants and Sean was like where are you going to go where are you gonna do you know just live day by day I
24:0724 minutes, 7 secondsdon't want to go back to you I don't want the medal give it to them they're the heroes but I left my problems he's been assigned this mission to go attack this Russian terrible leader whatever
24:1524 minutes, 15 secondsRussian leader shop was like you know what my team kind of sucks you know what it needs it needs Ram so he goes to like the most peaceful religious place in the
24:2224 minutes, 22 secondsworld yeah they're all Buddhists I believe right aren't they all Buddhists there probably yeah it's like it's like the religion of peace now I do remember
24:3024 minutes, 30 secondsDavid morale the author I don't know if you've heard my interview that I did with David uh I did see yeah your first episode yeah it was awesome yeah David
24:3824 minutes, 38 secondshe made it known at least in the books that Rambo is of a religion that he is converted to Buddhism so he's definitely a man of Peace So he in this so if he's
24:4724 minutes, 47 secondshere right now he is all for he's let this war go so you're absolutely right yeah he does not want anything to do with war he's wearing it looks like a
24:5524 minutes, 55 secondsceremonial Garb of some sort and of course he still has Kohl's necklace around his neck do you see that there oh yeah yep yeah he's still got the love of coal around his neck and his Maul is
25:0425 minutes, 4 secondslooking really nice too so yeah yeah his hair got long in this one like he's pretty obvious when you if you do like a marathon and you watch like one two and
25:1125 minutes, 11 secondsthree like his hair just keeps getting longer well speaking of five he said five was your least favorite I think I brought this up and you might have already heard it yeah I know what you're
25:1825 minutes, 18 secondsgonna say and yeah oh yeah I it's a big problem do you think you would have liked it more honestly honestly do you think there's a part of you that would
25:2625 minutes, 26 secondshave enjoyed part five more had Sly kept the long hair for the for part five I think there's a lot of problems with Rambo 5. I don't think that would have
25:3425 minutes, 34 secondssaved it but I would have yes I would have liked it more it would have helped it would have helped for sure yeah it would have hurt the film had he had long
25:4225 minutes, 42 secondsno way it would have helped it would have helped okay all right I'm Gonna Stand by it I'm Gonna Stand by the ramble five failed because of the hair I'm standing by that okay when are you
25:5125 minutes, 51 secondsgonna come full circle what are you talking about you said that your War is Over not maybe the one out there is but not the one
26:0026 minutesinside you I know the reasons you're here John but it doesn't work that way you may try but you can't get away from
26:0726 minutes, 7 secondswhat you really are this is like the opposite of mental health help can you imagine it yeah if you can you imagine if you were a veteran and you're going
26:1526 minutes, 15 secondsto a counselor for mental health and the counselor is literally telling you look I know you have post-traumatic stress disorder but you need to come full
26:2326 minutes, 23 secondscircle you need to go back I can't believe it it's so like it's just so odd I wonder at the time if
26:3126 minutes, 31 secondspeople did anybody watching this scene when this movie came out were they questioning this were they also thinking like huh this is kind of going against you know it's just weird it is weird I
26:4026 minutes, 40 secondsthink it's our 2020 look I'm in the military myself I'm in the Navy so I'm not of course I don't have any PTSD however I've worked in stressful
26:4926 minutes, 49 secondsenvironments long hours all those things you know we deploy away from our families and those things affect your mental health and it's not post-traumatic stress disorder in the
26:5626 minutes, 56 secondssense of you know like shell shock as they used to say but when you're away from your family your Creature Comforts and you're just doing the grind day
27:0327 minutes, 3 secondsafter day for months on end there is something that happens to your mental health it's a real thing and the military is very good at least the Canadian Navy and the Canadian military
27:1027 minutes, 10 secondsin general is at least better I've been known for almost 20 years from the time that I joined I don't even remember mental health even being said like that
27:1827 minutes, 18 secondsso even the last 20 years definitely last 10 years has been a big push for mental health awareness and so I was to
27:2527 minutes, 25 secondssay in 1980 at one of Guinness 1988 probably not problem with this though is the first film film was really good at
27:3327 minutes, 33 secondsaddressing this so early especially in film in the times 1982 that they're talking about look what happened to me you know I got a country that doesn't
27:4127 minutes, 41 secondswant me I can't find a job parking cars he says I messed up inside I go days without talking anybody weeks months so
27:4827 minutes, 48 secondshe's expressing shell shock for the first time on screen that's ever been done before in an army type film now we have gone full circle
27:5627 minutes, 56 secondsit's like trauma's forgetting all the events that have happened in the first film and he's basically he's telling ramble you're an animal you need to be
28:0428 minutes, 4 secondslet loose that's the only way you're going to be happy is to be violent yeah it's so bizarre it's so crazy and you know what what is Troutman even
28:1228 minutes, 12 secondsdoing on the front lines anyway he's a colonel why is he on the ground fighting in Afghanistan that also doesn't really make a lot of sense why is he leading
28:2028 minutes, 20 secondsthis Mission it's ridic it is absolutely ridiculous yeah well because he's the best man for the job you know he trained the best what do you say to him a full-blooded
28:2928 minutes, 29 secondscombat Soldier not anymore I don't want it that's too bad because you're stuck with it let me tell you a story John there was a
28:3828 minutes, 38 secondssculptor and he found this Stone a special stone he dragged it home and he worked on it for months until he finally finished
28:4628 minutes, 46 secondswhen he was ready he showed it to his friends and they said he had created a great statue and the sculpture said he hadn't created anything the statue was always there
28:5528 minutes, 55 secondshe just cleared away the small pieces we didn't make you this fighting machine
29:0329 minutes, 3 secondswe just chipped away the rough edges okay so he's contradicting himself he remember he's yeah God didn't create Rambo I did remember that in the first
29:1229 minutes, 12 secondsfilm so which one is it Troutman oh yeah who is this guy this feels like an imposter yeah exactly exactly it really does
29:2029 minutes, 20 secondsbecause you know we trained him to kill without Mercy he's saying that Rambo always I don't know if that's fair I don't think that's true or Troutman was
29:2729 minutes, 27 secondslying to the sheriff in in the first film I think you know what it's just hey Hollywood let's make some money that's that's all it is let's make another Rambo movie it's just so funny watching
29:3729 minutes, 37 secondsthis with their awareness of mental health today of how terrible this does sound I'm cringing right now like it's actually a really nice story but that's
29:4429 minutes, 44 secondsa story you would use to reverse someone's post-traumatic saying the war didn't make you this rough Stone it was
29:5129 minutes, 51 secondsthe war that created this monster in you but you're not that person you're the Stone from the mountain but the military
30:0030 minutesdestroyed your pureness and your and your smoothness we made you we made you this killing creature you were not but he's saying to ramble you were bored a
30:0830 minutes, 8 secondskiller kill Bill remember Kill Bill oh yeah yeah of course in that big monologue at the end where Bill is telling uh the bride your disguise is to
30:1630 minutes, 16 secondsbe this home wife but you've always been a killer no that makes sense in that film the context of that film but troutman's kind of trying to say the same thing he's basically saying ramble
30:2430 minutes, 24 secondsyou've always been a killer there's been no indication that he was that way before these films started no not at all and he's actually saying I don't want it
30:3230 minutes, 32 secondsI'm done the war is over I'm done he's actually found some peace he says I like it here was the last time you heard him say any of those words in these films that I like something I'm happy he's
30:4030 minutes, 40 secondstelling Troutman leave me alone basically but why does Sylvester why does his face look so different in these shots did he get work done on his face
30:4730 minutes, 47 secondshe looks so different than Rambo too how dare you how dare it's just a natural face how dare you it's something looks
30:5630 minutes, 56 secondsoff to me I don't know well if you remember in the uh in Rocky 3 which came out in 82 I believe yeah it was the same
31:0431 minutes, 4 secondsyear as ramble 2. anyway so Paulie says to Rocky you know you got your face all fixed up that was a nod the slide did
31:1131 minutes, 11 secondsget work done and so they kind of oh I missed that line they address it I didn't know that because he looks so different now he has no body fat either and that's why his face is so cut but
31:2031 minutes, 20 secondshere's 88 so this is six years after Rocky III this would also been three years after Rambo 2 yeah and Rocky IV so
31:2831 minutes, 28 secondswe mentioned in the first episode that Sly is also much thicker in this film like he's much more thick and bigger like he's much oh yeah he's really beefy
31:3631 minutes, 36 secondsin this one yeah yeah that's the word yeah yeah but you're right Sly has had work done absolutely I don't know what but there's actually some videos out
31:4431 minutes, 44 secondsthere you go on YouTube about the changes in his face throughout the years at least it doesn't look like an alien like for a 76 year old man today like he gets away with it just barely but he's
31:5231 minutes, 52 secondsjust got to be careful yeah he doesn't want to look like his mom right you know what I mean I don't know if you ever saw his mom in early I actually have not seen his mom but I'm scared to now I
32:0132 minutes, 1 secondwant you to Google afterwards please okay I will you got to be careful when you start doing plastic surgery at some point you kind of have to stop that's
32:0932 minutes, 9 secondswhat I like about Clint Eastwood you just get old it's okay to be old like just yeah yeah that's okay yeah for sure you're always going to be tearing away
32:1732 minutes, 17 secondsat yourself until you come to terms with what you are you come full circle come back to part one
32:2532 minutes, 25 secondsyes I'm not ready yet
32:2832 minutes, 28 seconds[Music]
32:2932 minutes, 29 seconds[Applause]
32:3332 minutes, 33 secondswell I gotta uh move I promise me you'll learn look me up when you get statesiden
32:4232 minutes, 42 secondsI promise girl be careful sorry and for me sometime not for two more
32:5032 minutes, 50 secondsfilms yeah 20 years
32:5432 minutes, 54 seconds[Music]
32:5932 minutes, 59 secondsso trauma looks disappointed that of course that Rambo's not going to join him but it was nice enough that he used to you know look me up and come Stateside and I believe ramble he says I
33:0733 minutes, 7 secondspromise I will but I think there's a part of rabble at that moment where he has no intentions about ever going back to the States not at all no no way and
33:1433 minutes, 14 secondsyou know it's kind of funny I I uh when he says uh I guess I'm not ready yet it kind of just what immediately came to my mind is like imagining like a teenage
33:2233 minutes, 22 secondsgirl and like a couple and a guy and like the boyfriend trying to pressure her to like have sex and she's like I'm just not ready yet like that's that's
33:2933 minutes, 29 secondswhat that just seemed like to me that's great that's a Perfect Analogy yeah troutman's a senior in high school and she's the soccer yeah it was not ready
33:3733 minutes, 37 secondsfor that big day right now when you're ready to get your cherry pop come look at me up that's what he's saying there literally is it that's exactly what just
33:4533 minutes, 45 secondshappened oh that's a great that's fine you're probably the first person to ever say that that's fantastic foreign
33:5933 minutes, 59 seconds[Music]
34:0534 minutes, 5 secondsshots here I guess this must have been Thailand these look like authentic buildings slides on top of this building it's a peaceful shot the music scores
34:1434 minutes, 14 secondsflourishing and he's like hmm do I have what it takes to be a soldier yeah is this supposed to show that he is
34:2134 minutes, 21 secondsthinking about it he's torn I think at the end we know the Troutman and then we were poking a little bit of fun at this but at the end of the day Troutman is
34:2934 minutes, 29 secondsthe only person he loves or trusts yeah it's his father figure Again David Morrell the books made it very clear that Troutman is ramble's father in
34:3834 minutes, 38 secondsevery sense of the word so this is the one man that yeah Rambo would die for and go so he's torn I think there's a part of him that is torn I've let Daddy
34:4634 minutes, 46 secondsdown oh yeah that's a good way to put it you know and I'm kind of being a the p word right now by not stepping up to the
34:5534 minutes, 55 secondsplate and being a soldier but at the same time he also recognizes I'm I'm not that person anymore he's he isn't channeling that it's been some years he
35:0335 minutes, 3 secondsdoesn't feel that anger towards an enemy he doesn't know and that's how he's looking at too this is a geopolitical situation that I'm not it's not it's not
35:1035 minutes, 10 secondsmy War you really there's Wars going on everywhere why am I getting thrown in this one and I hate the US government so I don't want to get involved but it's his dad asking for help and he's torn
35:1835 minutes, 18 secondsabout that
35:2135 minutes, 21 seconds[Applause]
35:3135 minutes, 31 secondsmore contemplative scene scenes here and he looks so jacked well I usually Flex
35:3835 minutes, 38 secondswhen I'm meditating in yeah right pondering you know I love it yeah he's just we call it the prayerflex you know head down shoulders out
35:4635 minutes, 46 seconds[Music]
35:5035 minutes, 50 secondsokay so what we're going to watch now folks is of course the we're seeing the mission and we're seeing uh Troutman and now this is I guess sort of interesting
35:5735 minutes, 57 secondswe're seeing trauma For the First Time In Action yeah a colonel no no less a colonel yo for our we have actually I do have a
36:0636 minutes, 6 secondsfew listeners who are legit in the army or have been like from the US Army so uh to those who are in the forces or have served in the forces they know the
36:1536 minutes, 15 secondsranking system better than me especially for the American Military let me know what the chances are that if full Burdick kernels is it full is that the
36:2236 minutes, 22 secondsterm there's Colonel and there's Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel's like higher than Lieutenant Colonel so I think they referred as a full bird occur
36:3036 minutes, 30 secondsI think that's what sheriff teasel called them in uh First Blood oh okay okay I was a Korean veteran himself so he would know so why would they send a
36:3836 minutes, 38 secondsfull bird of Colonel or whatever to the yeah full bird thank you Luis okay I missed that line yeah so anyway so let us know in an email or something there
36:4636 minutes, 46 secondsfolks the the chances that a full bird colonel would do this kind of mission okay let's see how this Mission goes there's got
36:5436 minutes, 54 secondssome Jeeps Heroes at night time it's a nighttime exercise of course or Mission
37:0537 minutes, 5 secondsthey go to some sort of golly or Ravine stop your vehicles
37:1237 minutes, 12 seconds[Music]
37:1737 minutes, 17 secondsnow it looks like he's is he with some sort of locals they look the part I mean even he looked like he had some something on him to darken him up a
37:2537 minutes, 25 secondslittle bit is he wearing Afghan Garb is that what I'm supposed to yeah it looked like it was he wearing blackface uh Brown face yeah he was doing something
37:3337 minutes, 33 secondsthere is that camouflage or is he trying to look like a local I think he was trying to blend in yeah I think he's truly undercover because he's he's
37:4137 minutes, 41 secondswearing the Garb because there is camel used for your but I think it was just light enough that I think it was just to make his skin look darker because he's
37:4837 minutes, 48 secondstrying to look like a local I think I don't think I ever caught that before but I'm not sure what the purpose is to look like
37:5737 minutes, 57 secondslocal so to speak this is a weird Mission so yeah sand face is what Louise calls it okay
38:0538 minutes, 5 secondsfan face okay that sounds better yeah sure she's a sad face I I think he is trying to look darker
38:1338 minutes, 13 secondsthan what he is he looks tan for sure yeah so have they indicated what the mission is or how they're supposed to carry this it just seems like they've driven to this very open area
38:2238 minutes, 22 secondsand what he's staring at this mountain I guess I I don't know it's just so ridiculous the whole thing is like odd
38:2938 minutes, 29 secondslike this is an odd Mission so far so they're waiting for someone waiting for something but they are literally sitting back they're in the open and there's nothing but High Ground
38:3838 minutes, 38 secondsaround them we learned this from Obi-Wan Kenobi you do not want to be on the lower ground in these situations no never
38:4838 minutes, 48 secondsso we hear a helicopter coming we're grabbing their weapons
38:5138 minutes, 51 seconds[Music]
38:5738 minutes, 57 secondsokay can you imagine the the brief before this Mission okay guys so what we're gonna do is we're going to drive our
39:0539 minutes, 5 secondsfour vehicles to an open area with our lights on the lights on and we're gonna wait for a big ass helicopter to come
39:1339 minutes, 13 secondsout of nowhere and then yell take cover yeah you genius now I would recommend maybe going on foot at some point in the
39:2139 minutes, 21 secondscover of Darkness to whatever Point you're going to it just seems like an odd very odd Mission see if Rambo was there he would have said wait a minute
39:2839 minutes, 28 secondsguys uh this is not a good idea let's do this so let's do this a little differently I bet ah this is very odd so
39:3539 minutes, 35 secondsthis Russian Russian still looks badass today this is 1988 but that helicopter is just a badass look to the oh yeah it
39:4239 minutes, 42 secondslooks like the helicopter from um Rambo 2 at the end of Rambo too it looks like the same thing same idea yeah now you mentioned uh one of the videos that I
39:5139 minutes, 51 secondsdid that you never caught that helicopter being hung upside down yeah I'm glad you got you guys pause it at the perfect time we would never have known but we saw those cable levels and
39:5939 minutes, 59 secondsit's like that's how they did it they flipped the frame around that's how they believe it yeah okay yeah because I was like how do they make that thing look like it blew up in the air it was pretty good trickery but nah that's how they
40:0740 minutes, 7 secondsdid it okay yeah so now these guys whoever I don't I can't tell if they're Americans or Afghans uh but anyways they're getting blown to pieces
40:2240 minutes, 22 seconds[Applause]
40:2440 minutes, 24 secondstrauma's shoes back and forth you know oh yeah you're the hero here
40:3240 minutes, 32 secondsoh they're getting blown to shreds and remain where you are classic Russian voice
40:4140 minutes, 41 secondsyou're out of ammo already yeah you have no chance of Escape
40:5140 minutes, 51 secondsdrop your weapons now okay
40:5940 minutes, 59 secondsprobably one of the worst military missions I've ever seen on film I don't understand the purpose of it can someone
41:0741 minutes, 7 secondswho's a a nerd about these films more than me and I haven't read the book yet David Morrell did a the first three films of course he wrote the first blood
41:1541 minutes, 15 secondsbut as we know he wrote Parts two and three using the script and made his own larger universe so what I'm going to do is I'm a little bit behind but I'm gonna
41:2241 minutes, 22 secondshave to read his he might explain what it is in the book what the mission was supposed to be you know what if they were parked like right outside the fort
41:3141 minutes, 31 secondsthen it would have been better you know instead they're just out in this mountain area like or there's nothing around it just makes you so confused
41:3841 minutes, 38 secondsyeah so troutman's caught I guess the Russians showed Mercy that's nice I guess yeah so drop your weapons we won't
41:4641 minutes, 46 secondsshoot you so now he's caught now we're going to cut back to Rambo's uh sanctuary foreign
42:0342 minutes, 3 seconds[Applause]
