How Many Rambo Movies There Are
Rambo is one of the most popular and successful franchises in the entertainment industry, but how many Rambo movies are there, and what’s in the future of the franchise? The action genre has seen a variety of movies and characters that have become part of pop culture, and one of the most popular ones is John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone), the star of the Rambo movie series. After his big break in the 1976 movie Rocky, where he played struggling boxer Rocky Balboa, Stallone continued to dominate the action genre in First Blood, released in 1982.
Directed by Ted Kotcheff, First Blood (also known as Rambo: First Blood) is based on the 1972 novel of the same name by David Morell, which many directors tried to adapt in the 1970s. First Blood introduced the audience to John Rambo, a former US soldier traumatized by his experience at the Vietnam War. Rambo is forced to rely on his combat and survival skills when he gets into trouble after an incident triggers his violent side, resulting in him having to survive a massive manhunt by police and government troops. First Blood wasn’t exactly a critical success but was a box office hit, and it’s now considered a highlight in Stallone’s career as well as one of the most influential movies in the action genre.
