First Blood (1982)
[quote]First Blood is a 1982 American action film directed by
Ted Kotcheff, and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who also
stars as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. It co-stars Richard
Crenna and Brian Dennehy, and is the first installment in the
Rambo franchise, followed by Rambo: First Blood Part II.
The film is based on the 1972 novel of the same name by David
Morrell. In the film, Rambo, a troubled and misunderstood
veteran, must rely on his combat and survival senses against the
abusive law enforcement of the small town of Hope, Washington.
First Blood was released in the United States on October 22,
1982. Despite initial mixed reviews, the film was a box office
success, grossing $125.2 million at the box office. Since its
release, First Blood has received reappraisal from critics, with
many praising the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and
recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre. The
film's success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels
(all of which were co-written by and starred Stallone), an
animated television series and a series of comic books, novels,
video games and a Bollywood remake.

A former Green Beret must use all of the guerrilla tactics he
learned in Vietnam to save himself after he is falsely accused
of a crime while visiting the lush and wild Pacific Northwest in
this heart-pounding actioner. This is the Sylvester Stallone
film that introduced the world to the Rambo character who would
go on to headline a couple of sequels.

Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
[quote]Rambo: Last Blood[a] is a 2019 American action film
directed by Adrian Grünberg. The screenplay, co-written by
Matthew Cirulnick and Sylvester Stallone (from a story by Dan
Gordon and Stallone), is based on the character John Rambo
created by author David Morrell for his novel First Blood. The
story follows the titular Vietnam War veteran (reprised by
Stallone) as he travels to Mexico to save his adopted daughter,
who has been kidnapped by a Mexican cartel and forced into
prostitution. A sequel to Rambo (2008), it is the fifth
installment in the Rambo franchise and co-stars Paz Vega, Sergio
Peris-Mencheta, Adriana Barraza, Yvette Monreal, Genie Kim,
Joaquín Cosío, and Oscar Jaenada.
Plans for a fifth film were announced on and off again since
2008, with different iterations developed and cancelled. The
film was finally announced in May 2018, with Grunberg attached
to direct. Principal photography began in October 2018 in
Bulgaria and Spain and ended in December 2018, with additional
photography in May 2019. Brian Tyler returned to score the film.
Rambo: Last Blood was theatrically released in the United States
on September 20, 2019, to negative reviews, with criticisms
aimed at the script, graphic violence, and accusations of racist
and xenophobic attitudes toward Mexico.[9][10] With a production
budget of $50 million, plus an additional $30 million spent on
marketing, the film grossed $91 million worldwide. [/quote]
Almost four decades after he drew first blood, Sylvester
Stallone is back as one of the greatest action heroes of all
time, John Rambo. Now, Rambo must confront his past and unearth
his ruthless combat skills to exact revenge in a final mission.
A deadly journey of vengeance, RAMBO: LAST BLOOD marks the last
chapter of the legendary series.

Highlander (1986)
[quote]Highlander is a 1986 British fantasy action-adventure
film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory
Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown,
and Roxanne Hart. The film chronicles the climax of an ages-old
battle among immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past
and present-day storylines.
Christopher Lambert plays swordsman Connor MacLeod from the
Scottish Highlands, known as the Highlander, one of a number of
immortal warriors who can be killed only by beheading. After
initial training by another highly skilled immortal swordsman,
Ramírez (Sean Connery), MacLeod lives on for several centuries,
eventually settling in New York City, managing an antiques shop.
In 1985, he falls in love with a police forensic scientist named
Brenda. He also finds out that he must face his greatest enemy
the Kurgan (Clancy Brown), who wishes to kill MacLeod and to
obtain "the Prize" – a special ability which is given to the
last living immortal warrior: vast knowledge and the ability to
enslave the entire human race. [/quote]
Among humans for centuries, an immortal specie existed. Connor
MacLeod is a member of this specie. Unaware of his powers, he is
unable to explain his revival after his apparent death in a
clan-fight in the 15th century. This convinces the superstitious
villagers to stone him and drive him out of the village. He then
encounters another one of his kind, Ramirez, who indoctrinates
him in the ways of the immortals. The only way these "immortals"
can die is by having their heads cut off. Given the credo that
there can only be one, you can imagine a race where everyone
tries to chop everyone else's head off. Of course, in such a
race, there'll be factions, and MacLeod and Ramirez are one side
battling the forces of evil immortals who want to take over the
planet and wreak destruction on it.

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
[quote]Rambo: First Blood Part II is a 1985 American action film
directed by George P. Cosmatos and co-written by Sylvester
Stallone, who also reprises his role as Vietnam War veteran John
Rambo. A sequel to First Blood (1982), it is the second
installment in the Rambo franchise, followed by Rambo III. It
co-stars Richard Crenna, who reprises his role as Colonel Sam
Trautman, with Charles Napier and Steven Berkoff.
The film is set in the context of the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue.
In the film, Rambo gets released from prison by federal order to
document the possible existence of POWs in Vietnam, under the
belief that he will find nothing, thus enabling the government
to sweep the issue under the rug.
Despite mixed reviews, Rambo: First Blood Part II was a major
worldwide box office blockbuster, with an estimated 42 million
tickets sold in the US. It has become one of the most recognized
and memorable installments in the series, having inspired
countless rip-offs, parodies, video games, and imitations.
Entertainment Weekly ranked the movie number 23 on its list of
"The Best Rock-'em, Sock-'em Movies of the Past 25
Years"[/quote]
As Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) takes off for the second time to
save U.S. POWs and fight at least two armies nearly
single-handedly, he may not fly as convincingly as in his first,
1982 appearance, but he certainly lands as a buzz-word for the
super-human macho hero. Stallone Rambos his way out of a prison
camp with the help of his old Green Beret buddy Trautman
(Richard Crenna), who arrives to free him for more active duty.
It seems the U.S. government wants him to liberate those POWs -
but does it? Rambo's ire reaches explosive levels when it turns
out that the whole mission is PR for the American public. Fueled
by fury, he rounds up the POWs and the action reaches its own
explosive levels as he and a Vietnamese sidekick (Julia Nickson)
fend off opposing forces and shepherd the POWs out of Vietnam.
Wow.

Rambo III (1988)
[quote]Rambo III is a 1988 American action film directed by
Peter MacDonald and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who also
reprises his role as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. A sequel to
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), it is the third installment
in the Rambo franchise, followed by Rambo. It was the last film
to feature Richard Crenna as Colonel Sam Trautman before his
death in 2003.
The film depicts fictional events during the Soviet–Afghan War.
In the film, Rambo sets out on a dangerous journey to
Afghanistan in order to rescue his former military commander and
his longtime best friend Colonel Trautman from the hands of an
extremely powerful and ruthless Soviet Army colonel who is bent
on killing both Trautman and Rambo, as he helps lead the Soviet
armed forces and their mission: Conquering Afghanistan.
Rambo III was released worldwide on May 25, 1988, and grossed
$189 million at the box office. With a production budget between
$58 and $63 million, Rambo III was the most expensive film ever
made at the time. [/quote]
When Vietnam vet John Rambo discovers that his former commander
is being held captive in Afghanistan, he undertakes a personal
rescue mission. This big-budget action drama soon finds Rambo
returning to his vigilante ways, single-handedly killing
countless enemies during the course of his quest.

[quote]Rocky II is a 1979 American sports drama film written,

After scoring a personal victory (though a physical defeat) in

Stallone) has gone to seed. In this sequel, he allows his

family--not to mention all his money. Against the wishes of his
wife "Yo, Adrian" (Talia Shire), Rocky decides upon one more
fight to get back on his financial feet. Thus the stage is set
for a rematch with Apollo Creed.Like its predecessor, Rocky II
made a fortune at the box office.

"Doctor Who" Cold War (TV Episode 2013)
"Cold War" is the eighth episode of the seventh series of the
British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It first
aired on BBC One on 13 April 2013, and was written by Mark
Gatiss and directed by Douglas Mackinnon.
[quote]In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt
Smith) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman)
land on a Soviet submarine in 1983 during the Cold War, where
the Ice Warrior Grand Marshal Skaldak breaks loose and plots
revenge against humanity.
"Cold War" reintroduces the Ice Warriors, who were last seen in
the Third Doctor serial The Monster of Peladon (1974). Bringing
back the monsters was Gatiss' idea, and he convinced executive
producer Steven Moffat by coming up with new things to do with
them. The Ice Warriors' costume was improved but not
significantly redesigned, as the production team felt they were
not well known enough. The episode was filmed in June 2012 on a
submarine set, as the story is a closed "base-under-siege".
"Cold War" was watched by 7.37 million viewers and received
generally positive reviews from critics. [/quote]
The doctor and Clara find themselves on a Russian cold war
submarine that is falling to the bottom of the ocean because of
an attack by a rogue Martian warrior, that 's still aboard.

Gladiator (2000) HD
[quote]Gladiator is a 2000 British-American epic historical
drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David
Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson. The film was
co-produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Universal
Pictures. It stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie
Nielsen, Ralf Möller, Oliver Reed (in his final role), Djimon
Hounsou, Derek Jacobi, John Shrapnel and Richard Harris. Crowe
portrays Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed
when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius,
murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery,
Maximus becomes a gladiator and rises through the ranks of the
arena to avenge the murders of his family and his emperor.
Inspired by Daniel P. Mannix's 1958 book Those About to Die
(formerly titled The Way of the Gladiator), the film's script,
initially written by Franzoni, was acquired by DreamWorks and
Ridley Scott signed on to direct the film. Principal photography
began in January 1999, before the script was completed, and
wrapped up in May of that year, with the scenes of Ancient Rome
shot over a period of nineteen weeks in Fort Ricasoli, Malta.
The film's computer-generated imagery effects were created by
British post-production company The Mill, who also created a
digital body double for the remaining scenes involving Reed's
character Proximo due to Reed dying of a heart attack during
production.
Gladiator premiered in Los Angeles on May 1, 2000, and was
released theatrically in the United States on May 5 and in the
United Kingdom on May 11. The film received generally favorable
reviews from critics, with praise for the acting (particularly
Crowe's and Phoenix's performances), Scott's direction, visuals,
screenplay, action sequences, musical score and the production
values. It was a box office success, grossing $187.7 million in
the United States and grossed $457 million worldwide, making it
the second highest-grossing film of 2000. The film won multiple
awards, including five Academy Awards at the 73rd Academy
Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor for Crowe, Best Costume Design,
Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. It also received four BAFTA
Awards at the 54th British Academy Film Awards for Best Film,
Best Cinematography, Best Production Design and Best Editing.
Since its release, Gladiator has also been credited with
reinventing the swords 'n' sandals genre and rekindling interest
in entertainment centered around ancient Greek and ancient Roman
culture, such as the TV series Rome. [/quote]
A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them
back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic
historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180,
the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the
Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the
Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor
to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin
Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed.
He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard
and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the
death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His
battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most
famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to
avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and
laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his
fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and
former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule,
Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by
squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death. Gladiator
also features Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and
Oliver Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through
production.
