Wandering Rambo enters a new battleground!
“Rambo 3: The Fury of Afghanistan” preview
Director: Peter McDonald 101 minutes
In this third film in the series, Rambo infiltrates Afghanistan in order to rescue Colonel Trautmann, who has been taken prisoner by the Soviet Army, and teams up with a local guerrilla force in a deadly battle against the Soviet Army. The main point is that this time, based on the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, the worldview of the series has been expanded by developing a ``de-Vietnam'' theme.
Production was underway with Russell Mulcahy, a PV (promotional video) director known for ` `Highlander '' (1986), but he decided to deviate from the concept of a star movie and prioritize his own style. Due to a rift with Stallone, Peter MacDonald, who had been directing the second unit, took over as director. Due to this urgent change, the production schedule became tighter, and three people were required to edit the film. Therefore, compared to the previous work and ``Escape of Anger'', the entire film is filled with a sense of urgency at the highest speed. Mulcahy still shot 20 minutes of the film, and most of the scenes in which the Soviet army attacks a fort were directed by him.
This film was released at an inopportune time, as the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan just before its premiere, and it lost its political appeal. However, it is a work that touches on the core of Rambo's character, and the entire story is filled with the fact that he is destined to be a soldier.
Above all, the sanctions against Rambo's violent organization intensify, and his interpretation of the character greatly expands, revealing his side as a superhuman hero. And while the movie became a hit series, it is undeniable that the essence of the movie was lost, which was one of the reasons for the series' suspension.
