Rambo Fails To Kill Box Office

It turns out that Rambo is no match for a bunch of ancient Greek warriors.

Comedy - Meet the Spartans - is number one at the US box office - raking in 18 and a half million dollars this weekend.

It's a tongue-in-cheek parody of the sword-and-sandal epics.

Sylvester Stallone's returning action hero Rambo is at number two - the latest Rambo movie lives up to its violent reputation.

It's said to have an average of 2-and-a-half kills per minute – doing the maths that means 236 people apparently get killed in the 93 minutes of the film's running time.

If you want to know all the details, maybe for a pub quiz, 113 of them good guys, 83 of them bad guys killed by Rambo, and 40 of them killings by the hero's comrades.
