Tear Jerker / Rambo

Go To

Rambo is not only about shooting villains and Mooks into tiny bits, it's also one of the most tearjerking examples of how hellish war really is. So it deserves a tearjerking page of it's own.

Works in this franchise with their own pages:


Second film:

  • Co's death.
  • The ending:
    Rambo: I want...what they want...and every guy who came here to spill guts—and give everything he had—WANTS! That our country would love us...the way we love it!
  • The theme for the end credits, "Peace In Our Life".

Third film:

  • Rambo talking about how he feels like he matters in the village Trautman finds him in. He's clearly been searching for so long to find a place he can really belong, and he doesn't want to be a warrior anymore.
    Rambo: I'm sorry. But it's gotta end for me sometime.
  • Col. Trautman: You're always going to be tearing away at yourself until you come to terms with what you are. Until you come full circle.
  • The massacre of the Afghanistan village.
