Nightmare Fuel: Rambo
  • Really, facing Rambo is nightmare fuel on its own. This is especially emphasized in the first film, where it is clear that many of the people searching for Rambo are scared out of their minds trying to find him.
  • The mineshaft in First Blood. Cornered by the National Guard in the entrance to a cave? Crappy. Being covered with rats while half-submerged in water in a narrow passageway with only a torch for light while trapped inside a mountain? Terrifying.
  • Colonel Zaysen from Rambo III is this. He destroys entire Afghan villages, kills innocent people, women and children with mines, bio-weapons and other evil stuff For the Evulz.
  • Rambo IV gets incredibly more of these moments, for obvious reasons:
    • The sickening brutality of the Burmese military towards the Karen villagers in the fourth film.
    • And when you find out that unfortunately the movie is not far off from the actual reality on the ground.
    • Major Tint, period. He's is even scarier than the ruthless colonel Zaysen.
    • The ending battle is Bloodier and Gorier compared with the earlier battles in the earlier sequels.
