Canned burgers aside it’s been a slow time in history, as far as the blogosphere goes, but the show must go on. This past weekend I received a wonderful gift, it was an dvd copy of Rambo IV; and let me tell you, it was nothing short of amazing. So I took it upon myself to find out who the man behind the HGH is. Without further ado, my John Rambo interview.
JAV: So, Rambo, if that is your real name, what convinced you to make a fourth film on a trilogy that was already so successful, and so old?
Rambo: I’d have to say, that if you are pushed this far, shooting film, is as easy as breathing. It was an important move artistically to have made this movie, as a final chapter to a gritty story.
JAV: You were breathing heavily after taking down so many jungle guerillas. But let me ask you, is being a sixty-five year old war veteran, taking a toll on your mind and your body?
Rambo: Really when it comes down to it, they all drew first blood. It takes a bit away from me psychologically, of course, if you hadn’t noticed, I barely spoke a line in my latest movie, which is available on Blu-Ray DVD…and well, we all know I’ve been using some form of muscular enhancing drugs, but who doesn’t these days?
JAV: So in your latest installment, you upped the ante, killing 83 individuals, beating out Rambo III by 5 kills, how do you explain mowing down jungle guerrillas to impressionable youth?
Rambo: Last I checked impressionable youth aren’t allowed in rated R films. Either way, they can think what they like, I’m just trying to teach them the difference between good and evil, and about the amazing power of a truck mounted .50 cal machine gun, or is it a tree clearer?
JAV: Honestly, I’ve been a fan of the series for a long time, and in my opinion this film was long overdue, it’s a wonderfully artistic, gritty piece of cinema, that really crawls inside your head and reveals what even one man can do with 12 years of combat training, massive weapons, and a huge napoleon complex.
