Did You Know?

From the Mind of ForTheLion
Did you know that Marbo of the imperial guard codex was based on the character of John Rambo that was portrayed by Sylvestre Stalone int he movies "Rambo".

If you look carefully you will see that Marbo, is an anagram of Rambo!

    Did you know that the movie Rambo was filmed in Hope BC Canada? Just spent the last 4 days in Hope.

    Did you know that the model was originally called Sly Mambo? And that Stallone is nicknamed 'Sly'

    My first thought would be "Thank you Mr. Captain Obvious Alex" but then against there might be some people (maybe young enough to don't care about Rambo?) that might not know this.

    One of the things I realised very recently about Rambo is that the character was based on a series of novels.

    when i mentioned this at dragonphoenix inn the other day, every1 seemed kinda surprised and they were like "oh malaka youre so right haahaha"...

    so i thought i might put it up here. Not all of the readers may have been exposed to american movies from the 90s :D

    Sorry Jon Taylor, your comment went directly to spam for some reason but I fixed that.

    That makes Mr.T's comment redundant :P

    Oh dear! Sorry Mr Taylor. Well here is another 'just like Rambo' for you:

    In the 'Sly Mambo' days of Marbo it was said he had been captured by Dark Eldar and tortured until he managed to escape. Wasn't Rambo captured and tortured in Vietnam?

    At time of posting, nobody has said this. Here's hoping I've added something new.

    Interesting tidbit of info there Mr.T, I honestly didn't know that. Does that make Dark Eldar Asians? Interesting!

    I can't honestly say how long ago it was. Dark Eldar were new, with their big heads and tiny bodies. Ah nostalgia! Makes me feel old. lol :))
