I remember watching a Rambo movie back in the late eighties or early nineties ,its been so long I cant remeMber when exactly but I was in grade six then and it made such an impact on me then .I remeber it had all the components that an excited ten year old would want ...it was action packed ...I didnt care about theme or acting just lots of gun and people dying .The problem though is that would be the first and last time I ever saw that movie because no matter how many times I watched cable ,I was never able to see taht movie again .Dont get me wrong they always show first blood which is ,well i am not sure but I think that it was after that movie that I am talking about . I also know about the recent Rambo movie but that is remake of that movie but never the original movie. What I am wondering is if there is some ban on that movie or something ?Does anyone else have this same problem.Does anyone even know which movie I am talking about

I am not sure if they have stopped showing it or not. I doubt it though. I have seen alot of the older shows and movies on cable. I am glad they are still there because I do not like alot of today's shows or movies.

ah yes rambo i loved that movie and your right they dont put it on anymore when they should because its a classic like alien 2 or the godfather those movies are classic and many people love them including me, and i dont really like the remakes i prefer the originals besides i think a remake of rambo with another actor or with stalone wouldnt be as good since stalone is older and another actor wouldnt be the same. i hope they keep showing those great classic movies.

I dont know if they have even though I see them play rambo 2 a lot. Some stations dont play all movies like somestations I just see playing rocky 1 and 2 but dont play the rest which I dont know why they do that but thats how it goes I guess.
