Default Do we really need a Rambo 4???

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

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

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...

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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