The later sequel, John Rambo, only has a rudimentary relationship with the first Rambo film. Sylvester Stallone has transformed his most iconic role alongside Rocky from the character study of a traumatized war veteran into a bloodthirsty action extravaganza.
There has never been a more brutal film in the action star’s career, which made John Rambo in the uncut version not in Germany to this day may be sold or broadcast.
Sylvester Stallone has gone over the top with John Rambo action
In part 4 of the series, Stallone’s protagonist finds himself caught up in the brutal conflict between the military and the oppressed Karen tribe in Burma. This results in an incredibly violent action carnage with a staggering number of dead.
Even if the successor Rambo: Last Blood was sometimes even more explicit, John Rambo has a heavy body count of 245 dead.
In Germany, the action orgy went way too far. The uncut original version is still indexed in this country today. Only an FSK 18 version shortened by around 3 minutes may be sold or broadcast on television. The TV shows the broadcast before 11 p.m even a John Rambo version almost 8 minutes shorter!
