23. What???!!???
The message of Rambo was that Vietnam was just and noble?

I thought it was the country turned its back on its returning soldiers. First Blood emphasized that more than the other two. Rambo (First Blood 2) while doing the dirty commie thing was also about our government again fucking over its soldiers. The third was was a complete farce and I would agree with you there....but hey its great for the irony.

Mad Max dealt with a post-apocalyptic world likely caused by a nuclear war and the loss of humanity with the loss of civilization.

"Righteous renegade cops tired of having their hands tied by the letter of the law..."

Yes, a less fascist theme would be cops always following orders. Its anti-authoritarian.

The Terminator is the poetic justice of militarism run rampant.

I don't understand Rocky unless your major issue is Rocky IV which I thought humanized the people of the Soviet Union even if it was very harsh on the government and its apparatus.
