Many big-deal Hollywood actors are not tall. They are short. And all kinds of
tricky camera angles and techniques get used to make them look like towering
heroic badasses. Doesn’t look like they used any of them in the new trailer for
the Rambo video game.
The game’s an FPS but you see the Rambo character model in
the cutscene portions of the clip. Weirdly, he looks more compact and stout
than Stallone does in real life. The longtime action star’s height is listed as
anywhere between 5’8″ and 5’10”, depending on where you look. It’s not THAT short. But, this Rambo
model looks like the refugee from Middle Earth who fought in ‘Nam.
As a guy who grew up in the ’80s—and one who gets flashbacks of his brother’s terrible Stallone impressions upon hearing that soundtrack—I have some morbid curiosity about the game. But, man, it does NOT look promising.
