Summary
ARambosequel impress a real - life special ops bomb technician expert with its surprisingly realistic turkey scene . Sylvester Stallone seemed done with the John Rambo grapheme when , accidentally , a Modern movie in the franchise arrived in 2008 . In the film , Stallone ’s killing machine has crawfish out to a life of peaceful jungle isolation when he is called to action to deliver a group of missionary who ’ve been snatch by a local military group , leading to massive level of carnage .
TheRambofranchisemay not be renowned for its realism , but one scene in the 2008 flick was credible enough in its detail to impress a real - life expert . In a video forInsider , Master EOD Technician Jay Ly breaks down a view where Rambo is being chase after through the jungle by soldier with dogs , and lays a booby trap that results in a massive explosion . Though Ly does n’t think Rambo would actually survive the Brobdingnagian blow himself , he does give the scene credit for being genuine to how explosives work and to the psychological science of using booby traps . Check out his remarks below ( around 5:17 of the clip ):
How it was coif up and how it was emplace , totally legit . He had a Claymore . He put it on top of the Grand Slam bomb , Brobdingnagian British bomb . Claymores are used all over . They ’re already electrify . They ’re pre - made to be set up as dope traps . That ’s what they ’re for . So he just had the trip-up conducting wire , put something that he thought one of these people chasing him , changeling , would grab .
There are 100 % bomb - detection detent , and in this clip , those dogs , I believe , are going for human detective work . They ’re going for sniffing out Rambo , not necessarily sniffle out volatile hazards in the woods . And even if they were , those dogs are run full swiftness . That ’s like basically you attempt to sniff a red-hot dog in the box while sprint down the hallway , like hyperventilate basically . It ’s never going to materialize .
Would the clap wave be that extend ? I signify , it was drawn out to have that effect . The volatile constituent in there is torpex . They added aluminum into the composition of that explosive to lead the bam . But with that being said , that ’s like a atomic blast wave that is just kind of continuing to go out . It would be really heavy and done . That flack undulation would ’ve killed a lesser human beings . Not John Rambo . The volatile constituent in there is torpex . It ’s about 50 % strong than TNT . And that ’s only the flak . Frag goes exponentially further than blast does . So yeah , he is definitely within that .
This is probably the most realistic clip as far as how things function and how hoi polloi remember . Man , I might give " Rambo " an eight . He ’s knocked two because of survival of the fittest . That ’s hokey at full , even for John Rambo .

After the maligned ( though still successful ) third serial entry , Stallone stepped away from the character to quest after other avenues , with mixed degrees of success . Twenty year later , the genius found himself in need of a hit , and resurrect John Rambo for a new coevals of moviegoer .
Rambo2008 is the only enfranchisement entry to be directed by Stallone himself .
The premiss of Rambo seeking a life of peace , but involve to once again unleash violence in the name of a righteous cause , proved stiff enough for the unexpectedRambo2008 to make $ 113 million at the box office against a budget of around $ 50 million . More than just bring back Stallone ’s secondly - most - important franchise lineament , the film ’s winner convinced the star that there was an audience for ‘ eighty - mode action massacre , leading him to unleash the squad - up movieThe Expendablesin 2010 . Rambo himself would return in 2019’sLast Blood , which was not a huge bang , leaving the futurity of the dealership very much up in the atmosphere .
