Ben Sherlock at ScreenRant posted The Rambo Franchise’s 5 Best Characters (& 5 Best Action Sequences). His list is a good one. Before you click over let me show you a clip of an action scene that I think should have been included in Sherlock’s list. It is the scene with the river pirates from Rambo.
I love how the tension builds as Rambo and crew move past the pirates’ dock. Just when it looks like they may have escaped trouble, you hear the pirates’ boat start up. Then they are hit with an intensely bright spotlight and machine gun fire churns the water around them. As Rambo tries to negotiate with the pirate leader, Rambo’s eyes move to each of the pirates to see what weapons they possess and their level of danger. Rambo is already determining the order that he will have to take them out should it come to that… and it does.
Be aware before watching the video it contains some profanity and violence.
