Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're spotlighting our Top 5 Johns in film and television, celebrating characters that have left a memorable mark on screen. After that, we'll dive into a review of Rambo: Last Blood, featuring one of cinema's most iconic Johns, and then lighten the mood with a look at the quirky animated series, John Dillermand.

Top 5 Johns in Film and Television:

1. John McClane in "Die Hard" series - Bruce Willis's portrayal of NYPD officer John McClane has become synonymous with action hero grit. His ability to blend humor with hardcore survival skills makes him a standout in the action genre.
2. John Wick from the "John Wick" series - Keanu Reeves's character has redefined action cinema with its intricate choreography and a deep narrative about loss and revenge. John Wick is a hitman whose quest for vengeance turns into a beautifully orchestrated ballet of bullets.
3. John Rambo in the "Rambo" series - Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo is a complex character battling personal demons and external enemies, making him one of the most enduring figures in action cinema.
4. John Watson in "Sherlock Holmes" adaptations - Whether in films or television, Dr. John Watson is the ever-loyal companion to Sherlock Holmes, providing a necessary balance to the detective's eccentricities and bringing warmth and humanity to their adventures.
5. John Luther in "Luther" (TV Series) - Idris Elba’s portrayal of DCI John Luther brings intensity and depth to this psychological crime thriller, making him a compelling and flawed hero battling moral ambiguities.

In Rambo: Last Blood, we see one of the final chapters in the saga of John Rambo. This instalment shows Rambo confronting his past and unearthing his ruthless combat skills to exact revenge in a final mission. The film attempts to provide closure to the character’s journey, blending intense action sequences with a more personal story of vengeance and protection.

John Dillermand Switching to a completely different tone, John Dillermand is an unconventional Danish animated series that follows the adventures of John, a man with an extraordinarily long, prehensile penis that leads to both humorous and problematic scenarios. The show is playful and absurd, sparking discussions about creativity and boundaries in children's programming.

Join us as we navigate through their legendary tales, discussing everything from high-octane action to the quirky twists of animated storytelling.
