The one where he saves some of the crazy Christians edges out the last one.

Rambo was a pussy in the first one. He wastes all his ammo on the guard guys. He freaks about some rats and he cries at the end.

You have to appreciate Rambo: Home Alone Edition (aka: Cielocaída) if only for its pure escapist fantasy value in the last act.

Anything that simultaneously shits on commies and domestic bureaucrat scum is guaranteed to be epic.

That's called pandering to pre-existing stereotypes. Easy to do, and I admittedly miss the days when Hollywood was eager to pander to me more so than the woke crowd, but it be what it be.

Rambo: There wouldn't be no trouble except for that king-shit cop! All I wanted was something to eat, but the man kept pushing sir.
Trautman: Well, you did some pushing on your own John.
Rambo: They drew first blood, not me.
Trautman: Look Johnny, let me come in and get you the hell out of there!
Rambo: They drew first blood... [signs off]

I love all of the Rambo flicks.

my favorite is 2, I saw it in the theater at Ft Hood. The absolutely best theater experience I ever had.
after the National Anthem and the movie started, the theater blew up with barking, howling and other noises GIs make when excited.
When we got to the Murdock, I'm coming for you scene, OMG, the theater rocked so bad. Barking screaming, seats were being pounded it was insane.
Only to be topped by the firing of the LAW from inside the downed Huey.  BARKING and SCREAMING!

fucking amazing experience. So now, so many years later... every time it is on, I watch and smile the whole time.  That theater experience will never be replicated. What a fun time.

you had to be there; Rambo 2 is a fun ride. The momma of 80s action flicks.

I know the feeling.  I was in Airborne School (and in holdover before) at Ft Bennimg when Blackhawk Down and We Were Soldiers were in theaters.  I'd just read both books too.

1 and 2 are the ones I like.

2 kind of birthed the ultra fake over the top action genre but I enjoy that and the message is solid.

4 can really stand alone as it's own movie.

It is very well done.

The 1st one is excellent the 4th one is pretty good as well.  Those are the only two Rambo movies that I would watch again if they were on TV for free.

The 2nd and 3rd are pretty meh but I would probably give the edge to 2nd over 3rd.    I don't regret watching 2 or 3 but I wouldn't bother to ever watch either again even for free.

The 5th Rambo is hot garbage and and a sad ending to the franchise.

I think the only big action blockbuster franchise with a potentially worse final movie may be the 5th Die Hard movie set in Russia and even then its a toss up between the last Rambo and the last Die Hard.......and that is saying a lot seeing how bad some of the last terminator, lethal weapon, predator, etc. movies turned out.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare. With a man who's the best with guns, with knives, with his bare hands! A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather. To live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke!

First Blood.

Rambo wiped out the Sheriff's department, outwitted a NG unit and could have destroyed the town.
