Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips - FINISHED with pics

How dare you sir! Rambo II is classic 80's Americana, you know, back when the Russians were still the baddies and it was still cool to love your country!

This was the first R rated movie I saw and it left quite the impression! OK, it had it's hokey moments, but still...

Oh don't get me wrong - it is a classic, and was a staple of my senior year in highschool!

PH, do you tell us that we need the Razorbak-4 cover with Razorbak-5 heads to have the correct thing ???

No... If I place the five-ribbed sheath over the RAZORBAK>5s, the blades still protrude out from the bottom.

My presumption is that during production, the sheaths varied in style / format.


I believe Raven1973 has the correct set-up in his collection (RAZORBAK>5s; five-ribbed sheaths; no blade protrusion), and hence I suspect there may be at least one more variety of sheath that was made (five-ribbed, but that fits over the RAZORBAK>5s with no blade protrusion.

Or you could just grind the bottom of the blades.

The challenge I see with that (other than the physical task of grinding razor blades!), is the spacing (see pic).

Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?

For me, the look of the sheaths is more important than the blade protrusion issue, so I may just make my replica with the 4's as they are out of the box.

Cool! Awseome pics - thanks for posting!

Though, now I'm a bit confused (Raven1973, are you listening?)...

I thought for certain that it was determined that it was the 5's used as the explosive tips, but based on these images, and the sheaths I received with my 4's, it sure seems that the 4's are the correct version.

Knowing about film production and props, they probably used both!
 
Re: Rambo's Explosive Arrow Tips?

Is that just the filler showing on the underside or ar some of the blades visible?

Also..... Notice the box... Rambo's box looks to be yellow-ish rather than orange where the paint is flaking off of the hinges. AND there are only 2 small hinges as opposed to 1 big hinge. I'll bet these were the earliest version of these broadheads.
