View Full Version : A silly@$$ question/thread . . . can RAMBO kick GI JOE's @$$?

See subject.
I realize that I've seen all four Rambo films lately. The first two on DVD. The Rambo III on Encore Action a couple of nights ago and Rambo (Rambo IV) on Showtime.
I don't own any of the HT Rambo figures and seriously regret passing on the one that came with bow and arrows . . . even though I don't care for the HT muscle/rubber body.
Like most here . . . I grew up with the GI JOE cartoon, comic book, and toys. I collect Sideshow's GI JOE line.
Given the diversity within GI JOE as a group and within it's individual members compared to a one man army like Rambo . . . I wonder and granted I know this is a silly@$$ and childish question that'll probably be considered with disdain . . .
I wonder if Rambo can take on GI JOE and kick their @$$?
Rambo Vs. ?
Rambo Vs. Snake Eyes?
Rambo Vs. Duke?
Rambo Vs. Spirit?
Moreover . . . would Rambo be considered GI JOE material (i.e. join their team)?

Considering that the Joes/Cobras are such lousy shots, there would be no contest. Rambo hands down.

They would never fight. They're patriots.

Only based on the cartoon.
Snake Eyes and a few others would take down Rambo easily, but other Joes may or may not, depending on the individual. Possibly Duke might. Spirit's probably really tough, but he's specialty is tracking, and is probably not quite the combat soldier Rambo is.
Rambo would be a good addition to the Joe team.

this is true. don't eff with john j. the sanpan/boat scene in rambo iv illustrates this point most clearly imo.

Rambo will kill 'em all. G.I. Joe works in teams, and succeed in teams. Rambo is a one-man-armada! LOL!
But yeah, that'll be cool if Rambo joined G.I. Joe in a special animated movie or something. :)

When pushed, Rambo will run off to Alaska to fight genetically enhanced soldiers infused with wolf DNA aka werewolves. You don't believe me, just wait... :rolleyes:

Thanks Orc.. Rambo will kick everyone's ***. Sometimes, his awesomeness is bordering on impossible, the way he is invincible on all his movies, but still - it is very entertaining for the Rambo fan.
He is a sharp-shooter (good eye for archery & sniper rifles), so you know he can take down anyone with whatever weapon! :D

Oh come on, SE has been beaten, mangled, physically and mentally tortured, burned, and disfigured more than anyone. And he still comes back for more. Even on the extremely off chance that Rambo got the upper hand he'd probably break down at the last second in a sobbing fit over the lack of his country's undying love. Without Trautmann around to cradle Rambo back to his senses SE, fully engulfed in flame (yet again), wouldn't hesitate to finish the job.

You are all missing the real question here and that is could Rambo take on Cobr-lalalalalalala

Rambo would be turned into a mutant snake by the mutation spores before he knew what hit him. Then, before defeating Cobra, he would have to defeat. . .himself. Again. Possible, but unlikely that he could defeat Cobra La. Maybe Pythona or the bug bridge that Sergeant Slaughter took out.
As for Snake Eyes, if not for Kwinn the Eskimo, freakin' Dr. Venom would have offed him at some point. Snake Eyes is over-rated. Clutch could probably take him.

Actually Hasbro wanted to make a Rambo Joe figure but at the time the rights were owned by Coleco so they toyed with the idea of having Rocky Balboa join the team instead. I would have loved to have seen Hasbro revisit this idea for the 25th Anniversary line.
One thing for sure,If william Perry can make the Joe team, Rambo sure can be one of the the top joes...:duh

Boy you don't know nothing.
GI Joe is a cartoon. Rambo is a real guy.
No way a cartoon could beat up a real guy.

I think you and Kara should take your acts to the Comedy Store. :p
Comic book SE would win hands down. ROC SE would put up a fair fight until Rambo called for an ice cream truck and then just shot him from behind.

This is almost as bad as the Darth Maul v. Rambo conversation that Maulfan was in the middle of in the Rambo thread....
Snake-Eyes would win.... Rambo would be too busy feeling sorry for himself and it would be over before it even started.

Would Rambo even fight? He might mess up his perm fighting superior forces.

Dont get me wrong Rambo is a bad mutha but Snake Eyes; a ninja commando, Quick Kick, Hawk. Rambo could take out Lady Jay and Flint, Shipwreck, Barbecue, Flamethrower. Rambo would eventually loses to Snake Eyes, Beachhead

Best and most accurate post of thread!
Seriously. Why hasn't somebody done a fan film mash up of old Joe cartoons intercut with scenes from First Blood..? I can just see the Joes replacing the cops.

Better yet, why not a mash-up of old Joe cartoons with Rambo the Force of Freedom cartoons?

It really defeats the purpose of a 1-man army though, so it'd be out of character for Johnny.
