11	* MenActWomenAre: After Gabriela's been missing for a long time having gone to Mexico, Maria alerts Rambo that she must be in trouble. Rambo agrees to go by himself and that Maria should stay home and wait for him to return. She disappears from the rest of the movie after Rambo goes to Mexico.
12	* VoiceOfReason: Warned Gabriela not to go to Mexico to see her biological father, claiming that he doesn't love her at all and only Rambo is who she can look up to as a father figure.

20	* IntrepidReporter: She is an independent reporter who doesn't hesitate to risk her life to help Rambo.
21	* NiceGirl: Aids Rambo in his fight against Hugo and his gang.
22	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Helps Rambo get back to the United States after Victor cuts his face ''with a knife'' and takes him to a doctor, who then recommends hospitalization]]. All thanks to her, Rambo is able to at the very least [[spoiler: recover Gabriela as she's dying of drug overdose and bury her properly]].

30	* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: Not long after Rambo rescues her from the brothel, she dies of a drug overdose by Victor, sparking Rambo's RoaringRampageOfRevenge in the second half.]]
31	* LikeADaughterToMe: Despite sharing no biological or legal relationship with him, for all intents and purposes, she was Rambo's daughter, as she lived on his ranch and he helped raise her.
32	* MoralityPet: She serves as a huge one for Rambo, who he credits for helping him turn his life around. He tells her at some point that she saved him from himself by showing him that there was still good in people, something he had lost sight of over the years. Not that it stops him from viciously attacking or killing those involved in her abduction, and [[spoiler:[[ItsPersonal all bets are off]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge after she dies]]]].

39	----
40	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Much like his brother Victor, nobody will feel bad for this guy [[AndShowItToYou when he gets his heart ripped out]] at the hands of Rambo since he also drugged, raped, and murdered Gabriela.]]
41	* AvengingTheVillain: After Victor's death, prompting him to take action in the climax. However this seems more about to eliminate a potential threat to his business than actually avenge his brother since there was anything but brotherly love between the twoes.
42	* BigBad: Of ''Last Blood''.
43	* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: He lets Rambo live after his men beat him within an inch of his life so that Rambo will spend the rest of his life knowing that he condemned Gabriela to a FateWorseThanDeath.]] This ends up biting him in the ass quite spectacularly.
44	* CardCarryingVillain: He clearly makes no secret what he does is deplorable and he knows and enjoys it as long he can make a buck.
45	* ChurchgoingVillain: Is shown wearing a cross around his necklace in several up-close shots despite the unholy nature of his criminal sex trafficking.
46	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Hugo is this to the previous villains, as he himself manages to emotionally hurt Rambo, overshadowing the past foes' own, which are mostly physically inflicting, and is a MundaneHorror SoftSpokenSadist in contrast to the Russians being examples of EvilIsHammy. Plus, while he's a VilerNewVillain, MundaneHorror, and SoftSpokenSadist like Pa Tee Tint before him, unlike Pa Tee Tint, the atrocities he commits are less graphic than the aftermath of Pa Tee Tint's war crimes, relying more on inflicting psychological and emotional toil then physical mutilations.
47	* CruelMercy: [[spoiler: Decides to let Rambo live so he'll suffer over the fact he made Hugo torture Gabriela just to make an example of her]], a complete inversion of Rambo having spared the first film's BigBad Teasle for him to live with his guilt and face public disgrace for his corruption.
48	* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when Rambo pinned him with arrows and carved out his heart, Hugo nonetheless just grunts at Rambo with no regrets until he dies.
49	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Averted. He doesn't show that much affection towards his brother, and he is apathetic when he sees his corpse.
50	* EvenEvilHasStandards: While not actually caring for his brother Victor, he looks a bit shocked when he sees his headless corpse. This seems more like disgust than any moral standards, though.
51	* EvilCounterpart: To StarterVillain Will Teasle, despite both of them being {{Big Bad}}s, however, Hugo is more of a ContrastingSequelAntagonist {{Foil}} to Teasle as Hugo is an utter monster of a crime lord [[CardCarryingVillain who shows no shame about his human trafficking]], while Teasle was a JerkassWoobie[[invoked]] TragicVillain[=/=]AntiVillain of a police officer [[WellIntentionedExtremist who thought what his heavy-handed approach to his job is the way to uphold the law]]. Also, appearance-wise, Hugo is a handsome and fit LatinLover, while Teasle, in contrast, was a FatBastard. By the climax, both Hugo and Teasle are pride-preserving foes driven by AvengingTheVillain when Rambo takes care of TheDragon and tries to confront him with an M16-derived weapon and foot tactics in contrast to the other villains in the franchise.
52	* EvilerThanThou: Along with Pa Tee Tint above, he's emotionally this compared to the prior villains.
53	* FauxAffablyEvil: Has a SoftSpokenSadist-like tone similar to that of Podovsky from the second film.
54	* FinalBoss: Not only is he the final villain of the franchise, but he's also this for ''Last Blood''.
55	* HateSink: An absolutely disgusting and repulsive human being without any positive traits. [[spoiler: His death is one of the most satisfying moments of the entire series.]]
56	* HiddenDepths: It shows he wears a crucifix around his neck, however, everything he does is absolutely unholy and against everything Christianity stands for. It's possible that he and his brother came from a religious family that forced Hugo to wear a cross even though he wasn't a true Christian therefore he and Victor are considered to be BlackSheep of the family.
57	* HumanTraffickers: He runs a gang of ruthless criminals who abduct and enslave girls and young women to turn them into sex slaves.
58	* LatinLover: To a point fans nicknamed him "the Mexican [[Series/GameOfThrones Jon Snow]]."
59	* MundaneHorror: Grounded he may be, his atrocities are quite deplorable.
60	* {{Mundanger}}: Unlike the military sequel villains in TheEighties, he -- being an utterly loathsome and sadistic human-trafficking boss of a drug cartel -- is realistically a living embodiment of MundaneHorror.
61	* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: When facing an aging Rambo.
62	* OutrunTheFireball: Does this after Rambo detonates his tunnels in the climax.
63	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He tells Rambo that the girls he trafficks mean nothing to him or his customers, even going as far as to refer to them as [[ItIsDehumanizing "things"]] and not people. He also calls Rambo a "gringo" -- a Spanish-language racial slur for a person who is not Latino or Hispanic -- during their final battle, and refers to Gabriela as a "bitch" when he vows revenge for Hugo drugging, raping and murdering her.
64	* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:In order, Hugo gets blasted out of an exploding underground tunnel, impaled against a wall with four arrows and disembowelled with a Bowie Knife, before having his heart torn out of his chest. Needless to say, he deserves ''every'' second of it.]]
65	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Victor's Red.
66	* SiblingsInCrime: He's the leader of the sex slave ring with his brother Victor as his top henchman.
67	* SiblingRivalry : He and his brother barely tolerate each other despite working together.
68	* SocialClimber: Of the criminal variety. He is desperate to ally himself with the powerful organization of Don Miguel to rise in the criminal ranks.
69	* SoftSpokenSadist: He only ever raises his voice when under stress, but he is monstrously cruel and brutal either way.
70	* ThisCannotBe: The look on Hugo's face when Rambo approaches him to kill him -- after first impaling him to a barn wall with arrows -- ''screams'' this.
71	* VilerNewVillain: Very much in contrast to the previous villains. He shares this neck-to-neck with Pa Tee Tint, just with less bodily and bloodily graphic results and more on the psychological and emotional trauma scale.
72	* VillainousBreakdown: Grows more unhinged as Rambo picks apart his men in the climax. By the time his entire army has been wiped out, he's snarling insults in his native tongue, and spends his entire death sequence screeching and hissing in agony like a wounded animal.
73	* VillainousValor: A thoroughly unsympathetic case. He's a monster for sure, but he is also the second villain in the film to approach this trope in a mundane fashion after Teasle when he decides to confront Rambo with just an M16-derived gun and a thought for foot tactics. He even managed to OutrunTheFireball, quite ballsy.

76	[[folder:Victor Martinez]]
77	!!Victor Martinez
78	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/OscarJaenada

80	----
81	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Let's see, he kidnapped Gabriella, tortured her, raped her, and fatally drugged her and caused her death. When Rambo kills him by [[OffWithHisHead cutting off his head and throwing it onto the road]], nobody is bound to feel any sympathy for him.]]
82	* AxCrazy: While Hugo is known for his violent personality, Victor in particular loves to drug his victims and even carve a V on their cheeks.
83	* TheDragon: Hugo's younger brother and the second-in-command of Martinez's gang.
84	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Averted. He only works with his brother out of his sadism of trafficking.
85	* FauxAffablyEvil: Whenever he joyously welcomes his potential business partners or customers for this human trafficking ring like inviting guests to a party. When confronting Rambo for the first time, he compliments the knife that he seized from him and would later carve a V-shaped scar on him.
86	* HateSink: Like his brother, he has no redeeming qualities in the least, and [[spoiler: he is the one who directly kills Gabriela, which makes the sight of his dead corpse even more satisfying.]]
87	* TheHeavy: Victor, not Hugo, is the reason most of the plot happens. He's also the more antagonistic towards Rambo and tries to kill him as opposed to Hugo's BondVillainStupidity. Aside from the last third of the film, where he's killed off to give the BigBad a reason for his RevengeBeforeReason.
88	* KilledOffscreen: Rambo decapitates him offscreen, and we don't see his headless corpse until later.
89	* MundaneHorror: Grounded he may be, his atrocities are quite deplorable.
90	* {{Mundanger}}: Unlike the military sequel villains in TheEighties, he's realistically a walking bucket of MundaneHorror.
91	* OffWithHisHead: How Rambo kills him. Rambo spitefully leaves (drops) his head on a freeway.
92	* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: When facing an aging Rambo.
93	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Hugo's Blue.
94	* SiblingsInCrime: He's the right hand of his brother Hugo in the human trafficking ring.
95	* SiblingRivalry: He and his brother barely tolerate each other despite working together.
96	* VillainHasAPoint: When Hugo decides to let Rambo live so he can keep on thinking about the fact that he hasn't been able to save Gabriela Victor protests as he wanted to kill him right now. Turns out he wasn't wrong after all considering all the troubles Rambo's caused after that. He later calls Hugo out for this.
97	* VilerNewVillain: Very much in contrast to the previous villains. He and his brother Hugo share this neck-to-neck with Pa Tee Tint, just with less bodily and bloodily graphic results and more on the psychological and emotional trauma scale.

102	!!!'''Played By:''' Rick Zingale
103
104	----
105	* AdaptedOut: His only scene is omitted in the shortened version of the fifth film.
106	* FirstNameBasis: The Martinez brothers only ever refer to him by his first name and the honorific "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_(honorific) don]]", so his surname remains a mystery.
107	* GreaterScopeVillain: He is the kingpin of the prostitution ring Hugo and Victor applied to work for, but Don Miguel is waiting for them to abduct far more young Latina women before he'll let them in. While Don Miguel was able to snag 17,000 women for sex slavery in one year alone, the Martinez brothers have less than 30 in their own trafficking ring.

113
114	Gabriela's friend who tells her she knows where her father is.
115	----
116	* BeyondRedemption: Maria thinks so despite Gabriela saying she'd changed; the latter had to learn the hard way that the former was right about her.
117	* BitchInSheepsClothing: She sells out Gabriela to the human traffickers led by Hugo Martinez. The lie she uses is that she found where Gabriela's father is, but she conceals the fact that [[IHaveNoDaughter he doesn't want his daughter back]].
118	* FalseFriend: Even Maria saw through her during her brief stay at the ranch.
119	* KarmaHoudini: She gets off very easy, as Rambo [[spoiler: lets her walk away for simply showing him where Gabriela was last seen, likely out of feeling she's NotWorthKilling after doing what she's told by Rambo]].
120	* {{Mundanger}}: She has no combat skills in contrast to the henchmen Rambo takes down, but she still gets Gabriela captured.
121	* NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler: Rambo spares her after she does what he tells her.]]
122	* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: When facing an aging Rambo.
123	* LowerClassLout: She is a denizen of Mexico's seedy inner city slums while connected to criminal gangs.
124	* SpicyLatina: She is defensively belligerent when a suspicious Rambo interrogates her in regards to Gabriela's kidnapping, likely stemming from her social skills as a LowerClassLout.

131	Gabriela's biological father.
132	----
133	* BeyondRedemption: Rambo and Maria think so despite Gabriela saying he could have changed; the latter had to learn the hard way that the former two were right about him.
134	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He initially greets her politely and warmly when Gabriela shows up again at the doorstep of his apartment, but when she asks an ArmorPiercingQuestion about why Manuel left her, Manuel steps out of the light of his apartment and into the dark blue light which reflects on him showing his true colors when he [[CardCarryingVillain coldly admits]] to Gabriela that [[IHaveNoDaughter he disowned her after his wife's death with no regrets]] ForTheEvulz.
135	* CardCarryingVillain: When the cards are down, he admits to Gabriela in a cold tone that he left her after his wife's death because he felt like it.
136	* DomesticAbuse: Had beat his wife with a belt that prompted Rambo to stop him.
137	* ForTheEvulz: His reason why he abandoned his daughter.
138	* IHaveNoDaughter: Says this to Gabriela's face when she locates him.
139	* {{Jerkass}}: Rambo wants to strangle him when Gabriela goes missing and Manuel shows no concern about it.
140	* LowerClassLout: He is a denizen of Mexico's seedy inner city slums.
141	* TheMillstone: His relocation to Mexico is what leads Gabriela to go there to find him and get herself captured. Even Rambo lampshades this when he says it's his fault for Gabriela's jeopardy.
142	* {{Mundanger}}: While not a main villain, he's still a realistically deplorable character who had abused his wife and disowned his daughter with no regrets.
143	* NervesOfSteel: Does not flinch when Rambo confronts him when searching for Gabriela, expressing IRegretNothing in regards to his ultimate decision.
144	* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: When facing an aging Rambo.
145	* ParentalAbandonment: He deserted Gabriela and her mother a while ago without any remorse.
146	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only has two scenes in his screen time around the first act, but Manuel's abandonment of Gabriela in the first place is what started the fifth film's main conflict.

154	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: On the receiving end of this by Rambo, who asks where he took Gabriela.
155	* {{Mundanger}}: Rambo managed to take him down at ease without him trying to prepare to defend himself first, but he was part of getting Gabriela captured.
156	* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: When facing an aging Rambo.
