Russian RESPONSE to Rambo
This was the Soviet Cinema's RESPONSE to Rambo, not them copying Rambo. There is a difference. I heard about this movie when it first came out and figured it would have the same plodding pacing as I had seen in tons of Soviet cinema (talk about slow paced!). I never figured that the Russian moviemakers would make a fast paced cartoon action movie like Rambo: First Blood Pt II, and they didn't. It was paced like the Russian cinema of the time. But this was their way back at Hollywood. The Reds were the bad guy, all the way from Red Dawn (1984) to Invasion USA (1985). I remember that Stallone wanted to do a double feature, Solo Voyage AND Rambo: First Blood Part II since he thought it would be fun. But the Russians never released Solo Voyage in the West. It was an adventure tale with a 'red blooded' (no pun intended) Russian hero for Russian audiences. Even Rambo fans at the time thought it was cool. Even though people were suspicous of Russian movies, i.e. they tended to be dogmatic and boring ... a lot less flash and polish than Hollywood blockbusters. MPM2008
