Beschreibung

The ultimate guide to the Rambo phenomenon—from bestselling novel to Hollywood blockbuster to all-American hero, legend, and icon—written with the full cooperation of Rambo’s creator, bestselling author David Morrell . . .

From the beginning, Rambo was more than a character in a 1972 novel by David Morrell. He was the culmination of the author’s personal encounters with veterans returning from the Vietnam War. The 1982 movie adaptation of First Blood reflected the novel’s powerful insights into a troubled veteran’s postwar experience. Then in 1985, the film’s explosive sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II transformed the character into something shockingly different. With a focus on blood-and-guts action—and the beefed-up muscles of Sylvester Stallone—Rambo became an invincible one-man army. A new kind of hero for a new day in America. A full-blown pop-culture icon as controversial as he was crowd-pleasing—blasting his way through the most influential action film franchise in Hollywood history . . .
 
The Rambo legend was born.
 
Five feature films. Three novels. Seven video games. Countless comic books, action figures, and even an animated TV show for kids. The Rambo machine has been as unstoppable as Rambo himself. Now for the first time, Hollywood insider Nat Segaloff digs deep into the man, the myth, and the massive impact of the phenomenon known as “The Rambo Effect.” Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, sharp cultural insights, and ongoing debates about violence in the media, this is an explosive no-holds-barred report from the front lines of Hollywood mythmaking. A must-read for Rambo fans, movies buffs, and anyone interested in American culture . . .
