Sylvester Stallone has a rare skill in conveying meaning via a series of rather unusual noises…
The stakes were high in the originalRambofilm,First Blood.
He played John Wayne Gacy.
He messed with Steve Guttenberg inCocoon.
Hes a big deal.
You know what is?
John Rambo: Hoooerghh.
Luckily, theres an arm-wrestling competition where Hawk(s?)
can win a truck, and the love and respect of his son.
I love my son and I want that truck.
But Stallone has to temper that excitement, or whats Rocky fighting for?
In the training sequence before the bout with Drago theres a lot of exposition to get over without words.
And boy, do we get it all, when we hear….
Rocky Balboa: Pleurgh!
This is about three seconds after Pleurgh!
Pleurgh!, but its a great facial expression none the less.
Will Nick be able to save her with his singing?
She saves herself, because: Feminism.
However get the soundtrack, its very fine.
and theyre all special in their own way.
Just like all Stallone performances in totale, in fact.
Satisfied grunt noise
