First Acid Blood

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2020)

James Cameron famously wrote the script for this film and Rambo at the same time. It doesn't sound so hard considering he basically wrote the same film twice. PTSD suffering hero is dropped back into the location that birthed all their trauma and manages to rescue a lone survivor - a failed rescue leaves them stranded and forced to fight their way out while various 80s yuppie scumbags get in their way. Both films are sequels to very different origin movies and both films up the guns and ammo quotient to great effect and much success. The main diffrerence being that Ripley is given something to live for while Rambo ends up isolated and alone.
