John Rambo is released from prison by his former superior, Colonel Samuel Troutman for a top-secret covert mission to the last place on Earth he';;d want to return - the jungles of Vietnam, to bring back POW';;s still held in Vietnam. For Rambo, this is what he would do best.
The body count is rising, Sly's pecs are blowing up, and Rambo himself is becoming more of a brand-name than a character, a mascot for masochism and murderous self-assertion.
What makes this icon so significant is how wholly he was embraced by the Reagan era. After all, it only seems natural to respond to B-movie action stars when your president was one as well.
To anyone who doesn't share the camera's adoration, this sort of behavior becomes so comic that Rambo turns into something of a camp classic.
