Nearly 40 years after the primary film, we've Rambo: Last Blood. With a title like that, it seems clear that the movie is setting itself up to be the last ride for John Rambo. However, while this certainly might be the last Rambo movie, it by no means is that the finale the title might imply. Let's break down exactly what happens in Rambo: Last Blood, and what it may mean for the potential way forward for the franchise. Before we dive into the ending, a fast rundown of the context that results in it. Rambo: Last Blood may be a revenge story. John Rambo lives on his ranch with Maria and her granddaughter Gabrielle, who travels to Mexico to ascertain her biological father but is kidnapped by a cartel and made into sex work. Rambo travels to Mexico to rescue Gabrielle and does, but she dies as a result of the abuse she has suffered before Rambo can get her home. In response, Maria leaves, and Rambo says he's getting to do an equivalent. He tells Maria he'll just wander, as he has done before. However, before he leaves, he plots his vengeance. Rambo fills his ranch, and therefore the tunnels beneath he have built, with booby traps. He sets up the weapons that he'll need. Then he goes back to Mexico and kills one among the brothers responsible for the cartel, so as to lure the opposite, together with his army of minions, to the killing floor. We were introduced to the character of John Rambo in First Blood in 1982. Following the character's PTSD-fueled breakdown therein movie, we followed Rambo through three sequels where Rambo does what he does best: fight. He goes back to Vietnam, he fights alongside the mujaheddin in Afghanistan (maybe not the simplest choice) and he rescues Christian missionaries from the genocide in Burma. then, he goes home. The big action finale of Rambo: Last Blood ends largely as you would possibly expect. Rambo knows the way to do one thing well, and he does that. He kills all of them. Most of the nameless minions Rambo destroys never even see their death coming, and a number of others not have eyes to ascertain within the least when he's through with them. One of the last minions left alive does get a couple of shots into Rambo's gut before meeting his end. Then, Hugo, the boss, gets a further shot into the rear of Rambo's shoulder before Rambo brings his entire cave complex down. Hugo makes it out alive, on the other hand, he meets Rambo's bow and arrow. Hugo gets pinned to the wall and Rambo literally cuts out the man's heart and shows it to him before Hugo expires. The wounded John Rambo then makes his way back to his house, and therefore the rocker sitting on his porch, as Rambo tells us within the voiceover that he "never really came home." during this moment. Rambo's fate is left ambiguous. From here, the credits start to roll, and behind them, we get a montage of scenes from the whole Rambo franchise. It even concludes with moments from the film that we've just watched. However, at the top of the montage, we get new scenes. We see Rambo mounting one among his horses and riding off into space. It appears that John Rambo may live to fight another day in any case.
