This is the stereotypical image of masculinity throughout many generations that are exposed to such images. Rambo is incredibly muscular, incredibly aggressive, and is the immediate picture of a manly movie star. Sylvester Stallone is not only seen as masculine in his role as John Rambo, but also in his other successful series as Rocky Balboa. Both of these characters are violence based characters, Rambo being a military man who goes rogue and literally destroys half of Asia throughout a series, and Rocky being a legendary boxer who constantly trumps over adversity in many aspects of life. Both are survivors, moreover both are the ideal man and exude sheer masculinity.
