One of my favorite moments of Rambo III is when that Afghan guy is telling him to go home and think it over for a very long time and Rambo turns around with this dead serious look on his face and he says, "I did think it over." That part always makes me smile.
shareI like the scene where Trautman talks to Rambo in the monastery, with the "special stone" speech. Good music, acting and dialogue, plus quite a profound scene for a film that people look on dismissively as all violence. A lot of heart and character in Rambo III, and that scene nails it.
There's only one man who'd DARE give me the raspberry
Yeah, that was a good scene. When I was stuck in the hospital one time, all they were showing was Rambo movies. When I saw Rambo III, I remember that scene really standing out.

I watched Rambo: First Blood Part II behind the scenes and Richard Crenna mentioned how they always got on Stallone for violence
In my opinion, it wasn't as good as the first two, but the first two were pretty tough to top
What about that scene in First Blood Part 2 where Rambo shoots the explosive arrow into that Vietnamese officer? That was pretty graphic if I recall.
shareI thought it was pretty cartoonish myself and there wasn't any blood or detail, dude kinda goes up like a pile of leaves under a leaf blower. Apparently, audiences cheered that in the cinemas.
The most important thing about movie violence is how seriously your audience takes it. If it's jarring, they'll react badly and that's not good. If it's comical or presented in an intentionally ott manner (like the arrow scene in Rambo II), they won't take it that seriously and thus it won't effect them negatively.
