Even the strategies he employs in his assault are paper thin. He still relies on explosive arrows, reams of bullets and pure, unadulterated brawn to save the day. Stallone's character hasn't evolved in the slightest - early glimpses of his new life in Bangkok are little more than a setup for the fighting skills utilized later in the film.
#RAMBO 3 MOVIE LOCATIONS SERIES#
Suffering from an anxious pace, unintentionally hilarious gore, and a ludicrous series of action beats, Rambo III feels more like a parody of the series than a genuine entry. However, when Rambo learns of the mission's failure and Trautman's subsequent capture, he makes his way to Afghanistan to rescue his friend, assist the rebellion, and administer his particular brand of justice to the Soviets responsible for a number of heinous atrocities. Trautman asks Rambo to join him on a mission to deliver weapons to Afghani rebels resisting hordes of invading Soviet forces, but the world-weary warrior refuses. Hopped up on a haphazard blend of adrenaline and absurdity, Rambo III opens as Colonel Trautman (series regular Richard Crenna) finds our reclusive hero (Sylvester Stallone) hiding out in a Bangkok monastery, earning money by way of illegal fighting tournaments in the city. To my surprise, First Blood hit me as an instant action classic while First Blood Part II undermined everything the first film had established, and Rambo III put the proverbial bullet in the trilogy's head. This year marked the first time I had sat down to watch the Ramboseries in. First Blood was too slow to keep my attention, but its sequels were the craziest R-rated cartoons I ever snuck into my parents' basement to watch. At the time, the Rambo sequels were the pinnacle of action films in my young eyes. With a strip of red fabric from mom’s sewing kit, a smear of red paint across a tattered shirt, and a clunky Star Wars action figure case shaped like a machine gun, I was John Rambo. As the rope was around his neck, he was hanged for a split second before the grenade exploded, blowing Kourov to his fiery death.Halloween, 1990. Before Kourov could take the grenade off, Rambo knocked him down the hole. Kourov then begin to break Rambo's back by doing a bear hug, but Rambo pulled off the pin of an F1 hand grenade on Kourov's uniform, forcing him to let go in order to take the grenade off. Rambo tried to fight back by using his dagger and strangling him with the cable leading into the hole, but Kourov was too strong for him.
However, Kourov used one of his own men as a human shield to survive, although his face was injured by the explosion.Ĭlimbing up back to the surface, an injured Kourov attacked Rambo with all his rage. However, Rambo and Trautman managed to finish the men, and Kourov ends up being attacked by Rambo, who tries to shoot him with an explosive arrow. Following the deaths of Tomask and his pilots, Zaysen spotted Rambo and Trautman heading down an underground cave, so he sends Kourov and several men to go after them. As such, Zaysen angrily ordered Kourov and his other men to hunt down Rambo and Trautman. Despite an annoyed Trautman telling that he doesn't know anything about any missiles, Zaysen refuses to believe him and orders Kourov to torture him.Įventually, Trautman's protege Rambo came to the rescue, freeing Trautman and allowing him to kill the shop assistant who betrayed them. Kourov is first seen alongside Tomask escorting a captive Sam Trautman to Zaysen's office, as the latter intends to coerce him into giving out locations of stinger missiles. He is a Soviet army sergeant who serves as the right-hand man of Colonel Alexei Zaysen. Sadistic Right-Hand Sergeant Kourov is the secondary antagonist of the 1988 film Rambo III.
