A pretty good and solid film. It works as an action film without being too gratuitous, and works as a drama/thriller to an extent. This is probably Stallone's only good movie from the 80's. The music is good, and the cinematography is great. The original ending would've been better. #26 [/b]
What was the original ending?
I actually remember loving the ending more than the rest of the movie - maybe because thats where Rambo is really speaking. The best part of the movie begins when he say :
"Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off"
Thats where hes starting to open up - to me, this last scene has more power than all the bullets and explosions in the movie.

I just saw "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
Jim Jarmusch who also directed "Dead Man" delivers another interesting movie. I say "interesting" because both Dead Man and Ghost Dog are not among my favs, but they were interesting movies to watch - I do want to see more from Jarmusch.
