James,
Very interesting episode, thank you. It was much too short for all of the lines of inquiry you broached.
Coincidentally I watched the whole Rambo series very recently. At the end of Rambo 3 the following text appears:
“This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan”
Which is is very, very ironical given what has happened there since, wouldn’t you agree?
Actually, that’s what it says NOW. It said something even more eye-popping on the original theatrical release. Stay tuned, fellow Corbett Reporteers…
Rambo3, aye??? I think that’s the one I fell asleep to years ago. Woke up in time to see Rambo killing Ruskins. Very well. I’ll try it again. No promises.
