Rambo First Blood: Part II Is a Hell of a Workout Movie

The underlying message of Rambo First Blood: Part II is integrity and self-reliance. Add three different types of bad guys, betrayal, and explosions galore, and you’ve got a very rewatchable workout movie. Unlike the first Rambo movie, this one takes place mostly in the steamy jungles of Vietnam.

You’ll get plenty of inspiration to build your upper body strength as an impressively shirtless John Rambo endures seemingly endless physical and emotional hardship to complete the mission against all odds.

You don’t need to watch Rambo: First Blood in order to enjoy the sequel, but it does provide helpful context since Rambo is a man of few words.
