  • The Russian villain gets two out of ten; a second low rating is unclear in the transcript. The accent and character development are criticized, as is his failure to use the heated knife on the prisoner.
  • Murdock receives seven or seven-and-a-half on the villain scale for stolen valor, deception and abandoning Rambo and the prisoners; a joke connects him to Napier’s later security-guard role.
