This is Wayne's World

That is John Rambo from First Blood and Arnies unforgettable John Matrix from Commando.

2 military ninjas, one man armies and all round tough guys who reluctantly save the day. Like when you’ve no milk in and you have to go to the shop. You don’t want to but you do……

Time for some stat crunching.
Lets see who wins the individual bouts. First,

Charisma – Winner:Rambo

Sly’s multi layered character didn’t even have to speak to command your attention. Whereas Arnie is wooden as ever (Not that we care too much)

Body Count – Winner:Matrix

Rambo actually only killed 1 person (Gaunt falling from the helicopter) so Commando wins hands down with 73 + kills by Arnie’s Matrix (All from one scene alone)

Military Training/Background – Winner:Matrix

Rambo is a Green Beret whereas Matrix is an Elite Commando and lets not forget. Just before he does away with Bill Duke he tells him ‘I eat Green Berets for Breakfast and right now I’m very hungry’ so its John Matrix this time.

Invincibility – Winner:Rambo

Again even though Rambo managed to sew up his own arm it is John Matrix who steels the show by driving in to a tree at 50mph in a convertible with no seat belt on and not the slightest whiplash. Silly really. So silly in fact I’m giving it to Rambo for dodging a rocket launcher in the mine shaft.

Weapons – Winner:Matrix

Rambo had that knife and a truck full of M16′s but no-one dresses up for the battle like Arnie before he takes on everybody! But then Rambo made some killer traps from branches. Matrix however couldn’t even be stopped after being cornered in a tool shed. Cue more novel ways to die……..

Endurance – Winner:Rambo

Rambo came back another 3 times to light up our screnes and John Matrix settled down after riding off never to be seen again……

And the winner is……Rambo

Lets face it. One on one, mano a mano Rambo would take him. He has the eye of the tiger after all……Or would he? Disagree at your peril ?!
