Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
87 of 140 found this moderate
The car and motorcycle chase is intense.
In one scene, Rambo sews his wound up. Willits of blood pursuit down, quite graphic.
The way Rambo is treated for being a veteran is very upsetting, giving how much PTSD he has in the film, and he's triggered quite alot in the police station
There's an intense and claustrophobic sequence where Rambo climbs around in a tunnel underground.
The police station fight scene is intense.
The long shootout and standoff in the town at the end is intense.
The film is very emotional and has a somewhat depressing ending.
