ME: Rambo-Era Stallone, my man, I just don’t think I can do it alone. All this passing-the-day-not-eating, far-away-from-the-family, constantly studying picture-language-symbols business…
Some days I get tired, you know?
RAMBO-ERA SYLVESTER STALLONE BOOKMARK: Look Saleem, no need to face your problems solo, bro. We can do this…
ME: Really? Together? Aw, thanks, man. That makes everything feel okay. You probably shouldn’t drink beer if you’re going to be shooting people, though.
R-ESSB: I’m not, man. I’m just chillin’ in the sunset, bro. Waiting to get back to a good book and whatnot.
ME: In that case, imbibe freely.

It seems a bit misleading to call it “Rambo-era” when it’s clearly a photograph from one of his Rocky films.

Aw, man, I shoulda run this by you before I posted.
I don’t remember the Japanese beer scene in either Rambo or Rocky… Got any links to photos that will help educate me?
On a related note, Rambocky would be a killer name for a movie. I’m envisioning a dude with a gun in one hand and a boxing glove in another…

Uh, it’s in one of the outtakes. And I, like, don’t have it. I left it in my other pants.
Rambocky is definitely the heat. But what is his mission? Is it a special tournament a la Bloodsport or a covert drug operation bust a la Miami Vice?
Or a love story, perhaps?

PLOT SUMMARY:
Rambocky has a special tournament (a la Bloodsport) scheduled, but he gets called back to duty by his old boss at the ATF Delta Force to do a covert operation drug bust a la Miami Vice.
If he pulls out of the contest he looks like a wimp, if he refuses to bust drugs, he looks un-American.
Rather than choose, he decides to do both simultaneously. Luckily, all of the other Bloodsport competitors turn out to be covert American Agents, so they have the clearance to join him on the mission. He is elected team leader, and so the group heads down to Miami together.
The drug bust must be conducted with absolute stealth, so Rambocky has his men follow him in a long line. Whoever is at the front of the line has to fight his one-handed boxing glove to the death, while all other soldiers have to continue covertly busting drugs.
Because of the machine gun in one hand and boxing glove on the other, Rambocky can’t use his normal commando-style silent hand signals, so he communicates with his team through interpretative dance. *
