I've always wanted to see the Russian versions of Rambo. Back in the 80's, I remember watching something on television that said the Soviet Union also had filmmakers (quite a shock to me back then) and, like the Americans, they also made action movies that featured the other side of the cold war as the bad guys. So instead of Rambo going around and blowing up Soviet helicopters with bow and arrow, they had some Soviet hero running around, blowing up CIA things.

If anything, the quality of the film clip I saw would lend itself to a great Bad Movie night.
