If two classic tough guy characters to be chosen in Hollywood movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator is one of them;
The other is undoubtedly Rambo, played by Sylvie Stallone.
This year, the veteran T-800, who is obsessed with playing through, officially announced his retirement, selling a wave of feelings.
I don't know if Stallone and Schwarzenegger made an appointment in advance, and "First Blood: The Last Blood" was also released this year, allowing the audience to relive this classic role.
This article contains spoilers.

The character of John Rambo is from Stallone's classic action series First Blood.
The first installment in the series was released in 1982 and became another blockbuster film after Stallone's famous Rocky.
After three subsequent sequels, Rambo also became Stallone's most well-known character, becoming synonymous with tough guys.
In the First Blood series, Rambo is a Vietnam Veteran and a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces Green Flat Hat.
Such a character setting gives Rambo a foundation for omnipotence, allowing him to openly open up in the film.
In the first four parts, Rambo's favorite thing to do is to fight with one enemy.
In the beginning, he was just fighting a group of small-town police officers in the United States, and a group of part-time National Guards, beating up Americans who regarded veterans as a burden and a flood beast.
After that, Rambo began to rush out of the United States and into Asia.
Mingled with Vietnamese troops, fought soviet forces in Afghanistan, and beat up murderous government forces in Burma.
More and more enemies died at Rambo's hands.
Look, Rambo single-handedly killed a platoon;
Look, Rambo single-handedly killed a company;
Even if he bought Karma, Rambo single-handedly killed a regiment.
If the enemies killed by Rambo in recent years were lined up, it is estimated that they could cross the Pacific Ocean from Vietnam to the east coast of the United States.
At the end of First Blood 4, Rambo ends his life of self-exile in Asia and returns to the United States, which seems to mean that he has finally truly retired and ended his life of fighting and killing.
And since 2008, there has been no news of Rambo, and people have gradually forgotten about this tough guy.
But this year, Stallone once again brought the tough guy to the screen.
In First Blood 5: The Last Blood, the elderly Rambo is once again forced to return to his old career.
Although he did not, as before, once again annihilated a regular army by himself.
But the strength of the anti-heaven is still there, or it is easy to use various tricks to renovate the means to kill Mexican pimps.
Continuing the myth of his own thousand people.

In the first four parts, Rambo fights with the grounds of saving himself, saving his comrades, saving his boss, and saving his volunteers.
This time, in order to save his niece, he retired to Mexico to fight drug dealers and pimps.
Loved ones are hurt, and Rambo, tired of violence and killing, runs away again, and the suppressed killing intent erupts like a volcanic eruption.
In order to get the news of his niece, he first cut out the collarbone of a pimp with his bare hands and tortured him to extract a confession.
And that's just the appetizer.
After asking about his niece's whereabouts, Rambo, alone, with a knife and a gun, broke into the enemy's lair and prepared to do a big job.
But Shuai was only 3 seconds old, and he was immediately surrounded by a group and beaten half to death.
Seeing that he was about to die before he could get out of the division, but fortunately, he had a plug-in, and the boss of the pimp insisted on forcing Li Wei, and although Rambo was fiercely humiliated, he finally saved his life.
Instead of being intimidated as the pimp had expected, Rambo, who had retrieved a life, completely activated his violent genes.
Four days later, Rambo, who had lost his equipment, went into the brothel with a hammer to get someone.
He pretended to come to the door to find a special service to deceive the little brother who was guarding the door, and exploded the head of the four-man guard group when he did not spare the hammer.
In the time that followed, the brothel became a copy of ordinary difficulty, and any pimping thug inevitably had to eat him.
Rambo, who killed the red-eyed, even used the "hammer egg to kill" operation that made people's bodies chill.
Unfortunately Rambo was a step too late, and his niece Gabriel was tortured to death.
The death of his loved ones allows Rambo to abandon everything and carry out his revenge to the end.
Rambo sneaks up on the second in command of the Pimping Organization, leaving him in a different place.
Then lead the culprits to their own homes and kill them one by one with traps.
The battle at the climax of the film, even fans who are accustomed to watching European and American bloody movies can not be indifferent.
A variety of murderous scenes gradually push revenge to a climax, and finally reach its climax in the death of the pimp boss.
In this way, "First Blood 5: The Last Blood" became the bloodiest of the series.

Looking back at the 5-part series, we can see that the "First Blood" series has gone farther and farther on the road to cool films.
One of the reasons why "First Blood 1" is better than the average action movie is that it has a deep connotation.
Under the cloak of fierce fighting, the film tells the story of a Vietnam Veteran who struggled to survive after returning home from the Army.
Social unpretentiousness has made these veterans the outcasts and marginalized people of their own country, and it is these people who have sent them to the battlefield in the first place.
It was this anti-war kernel that made "First Blood 1" a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office.
The subsequent sequels only inherited the setting of the first Rambo omnipotence, and gradually became an action film, and the reputation of the film gradually declined.
In 2, 3, and 4, the most common routine is to highlight Rambo's omnipotence by pulling down the villain's IQ and ability.
Both the Vietnamese army, the Soviet army, and the Burmese government army have been clearly reduced, making the film a bit of a shadow of the lawn-mowing game "True Three Kingdoms".
Although it looks very enjoyable, it is inevitable that it will be boring to watch more.
And "First Blood 5: The Last Blood" continues this routine, only this time the IQ discriminated against has become Mexican.
That's why we see in the film that the villain will release a murderous enemy in a must-kill situation.
In the final showdown, the pimp will collectively go offline.
Even if the old nest in front of him was smashed and the second in command was beheaded, the blind man could see that Rambo was not a good stubble, and still did not want to follow Rambo into the tunnel.
It is as if the pimp who broke into Rambo's territory to take revenge only came to the United States by car, but his brain forgot to take it out and left it at home.
Like the gourd babies who were anxious to save grandpa, they were wiped out one by one.
First Blood 5: The Last Blood is indeed bloody, violent enough, and curious enough.
However, compared with "First Blood 1", it is still a lot backwards in the realm, and the decline of the series of films is still impossible to reverse.
At the end of the film, Rambo takes up his own weapon and bends his bow and arrow to nail the enemy to the wall.
The appearance of this classic scene really made fans excited.
But the gap between First Blood 5: The Last Blood and the first part is obvious.
The T-800 is officially saying goodbye to the audience, and whether Rambo shed his last blood as the title of the film says, and whether he will still be invited out to sell his feelings, we do not know.
If Rambo comes back, we hope to bring in some new elements, rather than repeating an old tune for two or three decades.
After all, selling feelings should still pay attention to the posture, otherwise even fans will not always buy it.
