12) RAMBO III (1988)
Let’s talk about Rambo III here. One of those movies that took body blows from multiple directions – and never really deserved it.
It comes from a time when the objective was to thrill the viewer as opposed to leaving them bewildered and frustrated. Like the part where Rambo obliterates a troop of Spetsnaz. I guarantee you that if those scenes were filmed by today’s action movie standards, chances are you wouldn’t see shit. You won’t find a composer like Jerry Goldsmith these days either, who for this movie actually used the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra. Goldsmith was a man who appreciated Rambo and the action in it, which is funny since pissants nowhere as talented or as legendary as he are the first to criticize it. I mean, a razzie for worst director? They didn’t appreciate how difficult helicopter combat scenes are to film, and how debonair those scenes are in this movie?
