Common Ground

Here's something I never would have thought: Rambo, the Ewoks, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have a lot in common. Spike TV was running an action marathon last evening and we saw Rambo: First Blood, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and Predator. And what was the common thread? In all of them, the good guys improvised with items found in nature to devise methods of attack. There seemed to be a theme of making large horizontal poles with deadly wooden spikes - even the furry little Ewoks got into the act.

I went to bed after Predator - maybe there was a MacGyver episode to round out the evening.
