Do we really need a Rambo 4???

[SUBMAN1]

I think this is a 'wait for DVD' type of movie.

Is that a trick question? Did we really need the first three?

[Chock]

I guess this one ISN'T going to be 'Dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan' like the last turgid pile of crap was, now that they are back to being the the bad guys (like they apparently were when they were fighting the Russians that had invaded) instead of now, where the Yanks and Brits have invaded...

:D Chock

[Dowly]

Tbh, I've been waiting for this. I miss the good old action flicks of Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis etc.

Like Rocky, like the original Planet of the Apes, like a lot of movies, First Blood was an interesting concept, ruined by all the sequels.

[Chock]

I think they should go for an off the wall concept with it...

Rambo, having been indoctrinated into the Mujahadeen way of life, following his time spent fighting alongside them versus the Russians, is now a fully-fledged Islamic fundamentalist.

I can see the trailer now (Engage movie trailer deep voice) This summer, one man, and only one man, is going to make a difference. He's taking out the trash in downtown Guantanamo. To rescue his Muja buddies that everyone else left behind... Cue Stallone soundbite: 'Allahu Ahkbar Muthaf*ck*r' Cue Rotor Blade noise... Fade out. Rambo 7, Rated R.

:D Chock

Yep, not to mention Stallone is 61. Kinda old to be running around the Burmese jungle ripping off heads.

:yep:

[Camaero]

I won't even rent it! :nope:

[Polak]

Asking if we really need Rambo IV, is like asking if we really need oxygen. :D

[bookworm_020]

Do we need another Rocky?? "Rocky V and Rocky II equals Rocky VII "Adrian's Revenge"!:lol:

[Polak]

Now that is like asking if we need water to live.:D

An other heavy title that is on the horizon is Die Hard 4.
We've got a new Rocky sequel, will will get a new Rambo and Die Hard sequel.
What more do we need?

[Frau_Phillips]

Hey, I liked the new Rocky! I could have done without Rocky 2...3....4...and 5...but the new one was good!

I'm not sure about Rambo. I may be a chick, but I can get into some pretty heavy stuff (current favourite movie - Apocalypse Now) but I dont know that I can take some beefed up guy killing stuff for the heck of it.

EDIT
Wow, my avatar is really masculine. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with that. And I KNOW Rich isn't comfortable with that. I mean, I'D hate to wake up with that dude in bed.

[Polak]

I agree with you, sequels never are as good as the original movie titles, but I like it when the storie continues.
I would never compare Francis Ford Capolla's Apocalypse Now, which also happens to be my favorite movie, to any movie title from the Rambo series.

The Rambo movies are more comparable to the Die Hard trilogy, they just show pure testosterone action, and that is never wrong. :D

[Happy Times]

Bond, James Bond. He can survive even sequals..:cool:

I like the first Rocky & Rambo.

[Happy Times]

Tbh, I've been waiting for this. I miss the good old action flicks of Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis etc.

Of those i miss Bruce the most, and he is getting old too. Harrison Ford was tough and Clint Eastwood had the biggest balls of them all. We need new heroes.:hmm:

Vin Diesel, The Rock, Jackie Chan?? I dont think so:nope:

[Skybird]

I have started to collect old series - partially very old series - on DVD. The new films and series since a couple of years are too crappy in design and acting as if I could bear to watch them.

that's the bad thing with yearly movie awards: they give the impression that something was worth to be awared, since the award has to be spend in a given year. It says nothing about how that movie-year compares to an earlier one. Sometimes you have more good movies in a year than there are awards on a festival, so there are more loosers than winners. In other years the awards go to movies that do nor deserve it, compared to earlier winners.

So ein Stuss!

Yeh, my fav have to be Willis too. *hugs his Die Hard collection* ;)

[HunterICX]

The new type of Action heroes cant compete with the old
as Vin Diesel, the rock have a attitude issue. its that attitude thats a knock out.

give me the old, silent brutes that just blast everything in their paths :rock:

[AntEater]

Problem is, the old Superstar of the 80s is dead.
Not only in movies, also in music and any other entertainment branch.
Today, you have guys for specific target groups: Vin Diesel for wannabe violent white kids, a black guy (can't think of anyone specific right now) for "black" audiences etc, Jet Li or Chow Jun Fat for asians or generally Kung Fu inclined people...
The 80s action heroes were pretty much for everybody.

Actually I had expected Rambo to return, but I had supposed he was to return to Afghanistan, maybe to fight against his allies from Rambo III...
But apparently this was politically too hot, so they sent Rambo into one of the few states on earth that has a regime generally accepted to be evil...

[TteFAboB]

:rotfl:
Rambo is hilarious. I love him. :up:

The Rambo movies were set in a different location every time, I wouldn't have imagined they'd change that.

im all up for a laugh and a joke but I draw the line at pure heresy! Rocky got better with time (except 5)! Rocky IV is generally regarded by the "core fans" as the best of the lot! Steve i'm disappointed :p

Yep, not to mention Stallone is 61. Kinda old to be running around the Burmese jungle ripping off heads.

My thoughts exactly. I think Stallone is having a problem aging gracefully and these Rocky / Rambo movies are just his form of mid life crisis!

:damn:

OH MY!!!

I forgot about that...that...

Mid-life Crisis thing...

I'm 47 when does it start?

God save the world when mine does...

[Officerpuppy]

Now we need a RAMBO video game:up:
A good one! lol many movie to game transfers don't go to well.

[kurtz]

Think I'll hang on for 300 II or would that be 600 or 150 or 302 or... actually a froend of a friend thought it was called zog (you'll need to look at the movie poster):D

So you're a fan of schlock. Not my problem.:p :rotfl:

Just kidding; but it is a point of difference. Another set of sequels I could have done without were the later Die Hards. Now that there's a fourth one of those I have to fall back on the Mad About You episode that guest-starred Willis. The episode opened with a fake TV reporter saying "Bruce Willis is back in New York, filming his latest picture, Die Already..."

[TheBrauerHour]

Just the mention of Clint Eastwood in this thread has caused me to break out the High Plains Drifter...


Clint was, and always will be the greatest IMHO. :rock:

[Chock]

Snake Plissken for the win!

:D Chock

[Sailor Steve]

:D Chock
You mean the guy who wimped out so badly in New York that the President had to save HIM?:dead:

[Chock]

LOL yeah. That's what makes him cool, he's a proper anti-hero

Oddly enough, apparently John Carpenter wrote the character of Snake Plissken with Clint Eastwood in mind, but being a low budget-ish production, that was never really an option for the movie.

For a fun movie, the 'Escape from' titles are much more up my street than Rambo, at least you know the director is not trying to take himself too seriously and the thing is basically a live-action cartoon, whereas Rambo is also totally preposterous, but with pretentions to being something more than it really is.

God knows how bad/good the remake will be, but I suspect without Kurt Russell it will be pretty poor and closer to Rambo than the originals were.

With regard to the Snake Plissken character, being a glider pilot, I like a hero that flies one en-route to his mission, although it's kind of sad to watch Escape from New York these days seeing the World Trade Center in it.

:D Chock
