Son of Rambow ($6.1 million budget)
It’s always the ones you least expect to pull on your heartstrings that do. Son of Rambow is one of those films. It follows a young Lee Carter and his unlikely friend Will Proudfoot in the summer of 1980s England. The two boys try their best to reenact Stallone’s Rambo.
The film was great for two reasons; it gave audiences who were 30 or older something Rambo-esque to look forward to. It also introduced the world of Rambo to a younger audience. The sweet tale brought in just over $10 million at the box office.
