I think it depends on the type of battle. If the two just faced off and shot at each other, then it’s Legolas all the way. If they have to stalk each other through the woods, I would give the edge to Rambo…oh god I have too much time on my hands.
Are you kidding? Have you forgotten where Legolas has lived for the last few centuries? Drop the pair of them down in a wood and Rambo wouldn’t even know Legolas was there until his eyeball sprouted feathers!
Since Rambo can calmly and methodically take aim with a bow while someone empties clips from an AK and a pistol at him… it depends on whether his invisible bullet deflecting force shield works on arrows as well.
I think the movie made it pretty clear that in this case, Rambo’s opponent just had really shitty aim.
A similar thing happened in the second Tarzan book, where Tarzan decided just to let his opponent shoot him, knowing the other guy was too nervous for his shots to hit anywhere near a vital organ.
However, Legolas has amazing aim and seems to do pretty well under pressure. So I don’t think that trick would work for Rambo in this scenario.
Legolas would certainly defeat Rambo. He draws his arrows quicker than any human can, and has amazing aim.
The one question would be whether Rambo could draw in time to kill Legolas even as an arrow is headed in his direction. This all depends on the situation they are placed in. As someone mentioned above, if this is in the woods I think Legolas wins easily, seeing as how he would be incredibly difficult to track and has superb eyesight. However, if this was a “20 paces, turn and shoot” type duel, Rambo would die, but would certainly have a chance at loosing his arrow and killing Legolas as well. Depends how much slower he is.
