If he was hacking at people with big knives, this would be related to Hacker News, but the chart doesn't have that. So, no up vote.

  I guess it has some relevance to hackers considering creating something suitable for the movie industry. Perhaps a program that gave you the appropriate deaths/minute for action sequels. :P

  Rambo made his own knives from rebar in the jungles of Burma. I'm up voting.

I think the trend is very interesting and the post is perfectly appropriate for Hacker News.

Correction: The whole thing is a sex scene.

The ratio of bad guy to good guy deaths: (0 0.015 0.39 0.92). So looks like Rambo reflects the sense of fear that the bad guys are winning/catching up. Not sure how to explain the big jump between 1985 and 1988 (Chernobyl, Challenger, Lockerbie, Iran-Contra?)

the chart is relevant, to us it's the first movie intelligence solution application to be seen in the wild movie intelligence in the next big thing, the new rave, en vogue and in demand i hope to see the same done on another very interesting movie called "revenge of the nerds" if they ever make a sequel for that, which they should. the intelligence chart will include, the numbers of computers, servers, hand-helds, girls in bikinis and refference to Perl specially the line "it's scary the number of things you can do with Perl" yes i once saw a perl script and it was indeed scary, all horror movies from now on should be written in Perl Programming languages and movie intelligence will changes the cinema industry as we know it next thing you know, you will go to the cinema and in the middle of the movie, you will be presented with a BSOD and the movie will restart
