JOHN RAMBO Official Stills!!

he should be wearing glasses by Lane	May 16th, 2007 09:42:31 AM
for 20/20 vision purposes.
He should be juicing up. by White Goodman	May 16th, 2007 09:44:54 AM
Where's the picture of Rambo injecting steroids?
jfp by Merrick	May 16th, 2007 09:45:15 AM
It was preceded by a "II", but not RAMBO II.
I just got off the phone with Kurt Russell by White Goodman	May 16th, 2007 09:47:01 AM
he said another Rambo sequel is a bad idea, but he laughed when I suggested a Tango and Cash sequel.
umm by Ravvy	May 16th, 2007 09:47:35 AM
the title according to IMDB was "Rambo: First Blood Part II" So yeah it did have rambo before the II.
I'Mstill waiting for.... by Sardonicnarcotic	May 16th, 2007 09:48:18 AM
Rambo II.. Let's see...the first movie in the series was called First Blood, the second one was Rambo:First Blood part II. Then the skipped directly to Rambo III....Where is my Rambo II? Was that Cobra:Rambo II, First Blood III?
The way to go with this one... by Franklin T Marmoset	May 16th, 2007 09:49:16 AM
...would have been to have old Johnny Rambo as a contestant on one of those reality shows - I'm A Celebrity... or Big Brother or somesuch. You know, he's trying to fit into society, doing his best to go along with the collection of self-obsessed wannabes he's surrounded by, but then he snaps (someone pushes him, obviously) and he picks the bastards off one by one with his big fucking serrated knife and various traps made out of branches and string and whatnot. That would give it some contemporary relevance, I think. Anyway, if you're reading this - call me, Mr Stallone. It's not too late to turn this one around. I will accept a 'story by' credit.
I think Merrick's point... by CatVutt	May 16th, 2007 09:50:19 AM
Was that it should've been 'Rambo: First Blood Part III.' Which yes, always irritated me too. But not nearly as much as the largely forgettable Rambo III anyway, so it's really sorta moot.
I'm with you by Shakes	May 16th, 2007 09:51:16 AM
Yeah, the abandonment of the established title sequence did feel lazy the first time I saw the movies. I suppose the producers thought calling something "First Blood" over and over would sound weird. It did feel lazy, just like the rest of the movie really.
They should have had him fight Islamist terrorists. by Omegaman	May 16th, 2007 09:53:15 AM
That would have had immediacy, gravity,.... entertainment value. But Hollywood is too politically correct to allow that. This movie is a lost opportunity imo.
Didn't Rambo team up with the Taliban in Rambo 3? by Lance Rock	May 16th, 2007 09:53:43 AM
To fight the ruskies? Anyone remember?
Huh? by Double-Oh	May 16th, 2007 09:54:17 AM
"Even though they're "Christain", I'm thinking the undercurrent/immediacy/gravity won't be the same."
RAMBO with a BIG GUN picture at STALLONEZONE! by ABking	May 16th, 2007 09:56:26 AM
Go to www.stallonezone.com for more great JOHN RAMBO stills! This movie is gonna KICK ASS!
Marmoset - great idea... by SK229	May 16th, 2007 09:56:48 AM
even better if, in the end, instead of putting him in jail or executing him, they drug him and make HIM a self-obsessed primadonna wannabe... and then put him on The Real World - Philadelphia... Where he meets Rocky... who learns about Rambo's non-conformist ways prior to being drugged, and the sadness he feels for Rambo's fate causes him to put a pillow over Rambo's face as he sleeps and says, "Let's go...".
This is bad. by Mr Soze	May 16th, 2007 09:58:41 AM
Do we really wanna see this? There are so many great scripts that are stuck in limbo out there. Sly needs to be put out to pasture, his time is over. What did the last Rocky do at the box-office?
I think it's important... by Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling	May 16th, 2007 09:58:42 AM
...that this film is rated PG-13, so the highly important child demographic don't miss out on seeing Rambo on the Big Screen. We don't want bad language, and ABSOLUTELY NO BLOOD!
I'm still waiting for The Perfect Weapon II by classicgamenerd	May 16th, 2007 09:59:03 AM
Jeff Speakman save me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That has bothered me tremendously by Slugworth	May 16th, 2007 10:04:15 AM
It should have been called Rambo II: First Blood Part III.
I dont think he'll be 2 for 2 with this one. by Redfive!	May 16th, 2007 10:07:03 AM
Of coarse im not gonna judge it till I see it but this just looks bad.I wish this and Indy 4 would just hault and let us have our 80s memories left alone.
HEY AICN!!!! LISTEN UP! by wolvenom	May 16th, 2007 10:09:03 AM
You really need to fix your search engine on this site. Its a piece of shit. If im searching for a particular article or review you guys did it spouts out random dates rather than from most recent to latest and it spouts out shit that has nothing to do with what I put in the search box. I dont know if this is cause of shit people put in talkbacks in the articles or what but it needs to be fucking fixed. Just reminds me of how amateur you guys are along with the crappy web design. You really need a fucking face lift, and renovation of this site.
oh ya and GO RAMBO... by wolvenom	May 16th, 2007 10:10:31 AM

This wont pull a DIE HARD and pussy-foot it down to PG-13! It's a HARD "R" action movie! JOHN RAMBO and INDY 4 are both going to start SUMMER 2008 with a BANG!
It's pretty simple... by BlueDjinn1	May 16th, 2007 10:19:44 AM
The second movie was First Blood II, so the third movie should've been either First Blood III or Rambo II. Or, really, it should've been Third Blood. So, the fourth movie should be either Fourth Blood, or First Blood part III, or Rambo III. Or something. My head hurts now.
My question is how by erichaislar	May 16th, 2007 10:22:09 AM
can you have first blood twice? should it not be second blood?
thats fucking hilarous... by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 10:22:56 AM
... fourth blood, or rambo II: First Blood III. Made me laugh.

The screenplay by Darth Fart	May 16th, 2007 10:29:10 AM
Is it any good? I think I might get a copy if it's worth a read. I'm glad Islamic terrorists are not the villains - not because it's politically incorrect, but because it'd be American propaganda. Islamic terrorism exists because of the West, they are the product of the West's policies. The west created the war. If, somehow, A rambo picture could address the issue, then it'd be one hellva picture, but I don't see that happening. Rambo 4 is probably the last one.

Glad to see the real action stars back...tired of all these young pussy wannabes! I'm sorry that you kids that have Damon, DiCaprio etc. never grew up on real tough guys like STALLONE - SCHWARZENEGGER- EASTWOOD etc. Glad Willis and Stallone will show how it was and is done with JOHN RAMBO and LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD(Arnold did with TERMINATOR 3 and will again in 2010 -2011 when he's back)! With The Rock and Vin doing THE GAME PLAN and THE PACIFIER type dreck, they are not what they could have been...

PG13 or R??? by ajtk210	May 16th, 2007 10:51:06 AM
Are they going to cut the fucking balls off another hard R series? I don't give a flying shit what Bruce Willis(love his work) has to say about Die Hard 4...When I see a movie like this I WANT the blood and gore on top of my great action. I want the cursing, and I want the excessive death and murder. Bottom line, make this movie R or it's gonna feel like a very neutered version of Rambo.

Darth Fart ,wrong website by liljuniorbrown	May 16th, 2007 10:51:11 AM
I know everyone has an opinion and most of the time when they use forums like this to spout off something I might not agree with I just chalk it up to difference of opinion but I have to say not only are you off base your not in the ball park anymore. The west started the war? We are responsible for Islamic terrorist? As a veteran of this past conflict I have to say a big Fuck you. The terrorist hate anyone who do not belive what they do and they believe that killing infidels are the only solution. Don't use a Rambo talkback to spout your bull shit. We'll see how much sympathy you have for those fucks when they kill someone you love or care about just because they are not muslim extremist.Thats what they do and what they will always do.They started it on 9/11, not us. Fucking pussy ass fanatics to scared to even face the consequences of what they've done.

Weary about this one... by darshn22	May 16th, 2007 11:00:42 AM
I enjoyed Rocky Balboa because Stallone put his heart into it. His age actually helped Rocky Balboa. But I don't see how it could help this movie. I have great respect for Stallone but this could be very bad. I hope Sly proves me wrong...

Just wanted to throw that one out there, not that I'm condemning the man or anything.
Oh My by abcdefghijklmnop	May 16th, 2007 11:09:48 AM
I've been a big supporter of this film ever since the 90's, but I have to admit...I've yet to see any stills where I thought Stallone actually looked good. It's a little jarring to see him looking so puffy (even though I did just see him in Rocky Balboa). I was hoping that all the previous photos were just unflattering spy shots. But if these are being used as promo stills...not good. I just hope this film doesn't find him looking ridiculous...and that they change the title again before it's released. "John Rambo" as a title just doesn't work. Audiences have been on a first-name basis with Rocky for thirty years. But no one really thinks of Rambo as "John".
About the Australia thing...he made a mistake, BIG DEAL by ABking	May 16th, 2007 11:10:00 AM
Sly issued this the other day......Your Honour, A strange and truly unfortunate occurrence happened when arriving in your country. I made a terrible mistake, not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant of your official rules and I wish to sincerely apologise to the court and the Australian community for my breach of Australian custom law. I feel terrible that my breach of the rules has set a poor example to members of the public, whose opinion I cherish dearly. Never, ever, was it my intention to breach the laws and I realise that I should have properly informed myself about your customs. May I offer the following observations by way of explanation – but they are not an excuse for my actions. Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision, I have continued to use both medications. I had in my luggage a significant quantity of those medications since I was to be on location in Thailand for three months. On arrival in Sydney the medications were not hidden in any way and without hesitation I showed all my medications to customs officials. The customs officers inspected the testosterone and allowed me to bring the medication into the country. I have never supported the use of illegal drugs or engaged in any illegal activities in my entire life. Finally, I wish to express my deepest remorse and again apologise for my actions. It was a hard-learned lesson and an eye-opener that the world's a complex society. Knowing the rules of your intended destination is of paramount importance. You have a great country that I have enjoyed visiting and very much hope to again. Yours Sincerely, Sylvester Stallone.
I am so worried about this flick.... by Mr Chuff	May 16th, 2007 11:10:58 AM

He looks more human/vulnerable than in previous films by Chief Redcock	May 16th, 2007 11:11:44 AM
In the sequels, especially, he's just this methodical killing machine. I hope Sly uses his age as an opportunity to give Rambo some humanity and dimension... let him be afraid, let him feel things, let him talk... character actors like Bruce Willis and Nicholas Cage are remembered for bringing those qualities to action movies, and I think Sly can do it too.

Wasn't there another script - Holy War? by HarryBlackPotter	May 16th, 2007 11:17:18 AM
I read Rambo in that was married to a peace activist and had hung up his knives and guns. Rambo was more of an eco-warrior type in the script, but when he finds out his son is involved with a terrorist group and take hostages at the UN. Rambo not only has to kill the terrorists, but take on his own brainwashed son. Sounded really interesting. This sounds a bit been there done that, got the action figure. This might be good though. Better be an R.

Merrick, about the RAMBO titles: the reason why... by ABking	May 16th, 2007 11:17:52 AM
Merrick, it is very simple for the little title change for the RAMBO series. FIRST BLOOD was "first blood" and we all know why that title was perfect. They drew "first blood" on John!!! Rambo: FIRST BLOOD PART II's title was also relevent because again "first blood" was drawn against John Rambo with the government betraying him. In RAMBO III, there was no such thing! Calling it RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART III would not have gone with the story. Rambo was at some kind of peace at the beginning, but went in the rescue his friend/mentor. There was no "first blood" drawn on him so to speak. I believe this was explained way back when...glad I could clear that up:) NOW on to JOHN RAMBO! I laugh when people still say Stallone is FAT or out of shape. If Rocky Balboa didn't shut up some of you skeptics then watch the behind-the-scenes work out segement on the dvd...you will see what a ripped body looks like and at 60 years old!

Or better yet........ by Sprinky	May 16th, 2007 11:31:26 AM
read the novel ( First Blood) by David Morell. Originally John Rambo was a not a sympathetic character. The writers for the movie(s) mellowed him out a bit so audiences could sympathize with him.

The "Christian" thing by Bloo	May 16th, 2007 11:48:51 AM
I do think that this is significant issue and one that isn't targeted much. I went to The Philippines this past fall and whenver I mention going there people look at me and are like "didn't some missionaires get killed there (re: Martin and Gracia Burnham)" and that was a couple of years ago, Christians all over the world are dying at the hand of Islmaists, radical hindus, Skiahs (?), etc. every day. You may not know this but there are more Christian martyers today (well not TODAY but you know what I mean) then ever in history, more then the Inquistion, then the Romans, then ANY other time in is history. so yeah I think it's relevent not just an issue that we hear about much.
I don't believe one second... by Fenrisulfr	May 16th, 2007 11:52:16 AM
... that JOHN RAMBO will be pussified to a PG-13 rating. A film dealing with the atrocities of war where mountain villagers, the Karen people, are killed and raped by Burmese soldiers simply can't have a PG-13 rating. And probably we'll have Rambo witnessing some of those atrocities, reminding him in black and white flashbacks of what he's himself been through. Even though it's not official there was also another pic of him shooting with an M60 machine gun and covered in blood posted on joblo.com/arrow. This movie will be a tough R. And I am highly excited about the return of John Rambo, glad to see the project take concrete shape with this picture.
George Lucas thinks Sly's wet t-shirt is silly by Abominable Snowcone	May 16th, 2007 12:06:15 PM
I kind of like it, although I must say it makes look like somebody's dad. I still think they shoulda gone with a shorter haircut. I'll be disappointed if Rambo doesn't utilize some of his typical combat dialogue: "Huh!" "Suhnt!" "TUH!" And as for the whole 'steroid' muscle growth hormone thing in Australia, I just don't care. Sly can do no wrong in my eyes unless he makes sequels to Judge Dredd or Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. Aw, nevermind, I liked Rocky Balboa so much that I'll give him a lifetime free pass. But if this Rambo is to be any good, they seriously should take the time for some character exposition / development and don't worry about cramming nothing but action into an eighty minute shamefest.

This just in! by Abominable Snowcone	May 16th, 2007 12:15:30 PM
We learn in the new movie that Rambo was actually named after his father's dog--John. And that the first of his many scars were sustained in a childhood fight on a circus train with soviet spetsnaz troops. Speaking of which, even with the USSR gone, do you think this film will feature a token russian commander (played by a southern white american) with a bad Dracula accent? How kick ass would that be? "You wish to test your strent? Good. Good. Ve vill see how tolf you arv. You vill talk--or ve vill put it in HIS eye!"

According to imdb it has a 60 mil budget....which is probably low enough to convince studio pussies to release it as an R-rated film. (unlike Die Hard which probably cost like 100 mil plus) Plus Stallone's gotta give props to the AICN fanbase. We're his good luck charm!

I watched First Blood the other day... by Shakalakaboom	May 16th, 2007 12:43:39 PM
for the first time in years and I was surprised to see that it wasn't as violent as I remembered. Only one person gets killed. A few people are maimed and most of the town gets blown up, but not much in the blood and guts category. Rambo 2: Saw it in high school years ago and even back then, I thought it was silly. Rambo 3: Haven't seen it, but I'm familiar with the plot. I don't plan on seeing John Rambo, but I think it would be an interesting allegory to have Rambo go after the Taliban he helped in the third film.
I've never seen part 2 nor 3, so I'll have to pass. by wintocha67	May 16th, 2007 12:44:21 PM

Coscareally by Abominable Snowcone	May 16th, 2007 12:45:06 PM
Thanks for that--I was crying, and if I'd been drinking anything it would have come gushing out my nose. It's insane how they synched the movie audio to the cartoon video footage, and I love how the Enterprise crew are standing around like he's certifiable.

Darth Fart you make me sick. No other country in the world is a generous or giving as the U.S.A.!!! We were attacked because Islamists are the ultimate racists (my way or death). Is it the West’s fault that wherever there are muslims there is conflict: Middle East, Philippines, Indonesia, former Yugoslavia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Africa, ect?

Christian Vibe by EyeofPolyphemus	May 16th, 2007 01:11:01 PM
I was under the impression the Christian theme was not asbig as the impact of the Christians on a jaded Rambo. This was to be a personal movie about Rambo finally coming to inner peace over his life of violence and being manipulated. Personally, i like the idea of a smaller, more intimate film to wrap up Rambo's story on a high, personal note.

Not to be political by Darth Fart	May 16th, 2007 01:14:58 PM
Now we know that America wasn't built on peace loving, it was snatched from the natives, but hey, that was the way of the world back then. 9/11 hurts me a lot, but I am not an impulsive person who hits the red button. To understand what's happening, one must go back, way back to understand how the West has undermined these countries. Where diplomacy failed. You do understand that the government uses terrorist rhetoric to instil fear in us? We are always vulnerable when we fear, thus we become under control. Maybe Rambo should go to Iraq.
Rocky Balboa blew ass people. by PwnedByStallone	May 16th, 2007 01:21:25 PM
Why does no one see this but me? It was a giant fucking sell out. And don't make jokes about Cobra II because he'll probably do it, right after Demolition Man 2 and Judge Dredd 2....in Stallone drawl "I'll be da judge of dat."
darth fart, or guff or whatever... by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 01:26:10 PM
... you are absolutely correct... but you won't find any open-minded yanks here. Just remember that Americans actually believe the shit the government says. As Agent K says.... "A person is smart......[but] people are dumb noisy panicky animals, and you know it". You'll just get shouted down and a good ol' flaming, and all you yanks will continue to get bombed and hated.

Like the BALBOA trailer...when the JOHN RAMBO teaser... by ABking	May 16th, 2007 01:34:25 PM
When the first teaser trailer hits the net...the skeptics will shut the hell up! They did when the two cool trailers for ROCKY BALBOA premiered over PIRATES 2 (trailer 1) and CASINO ROYALE (trailer 2)! For those of you who don't get why he's calling this JOHN RAMBO, grow a brain and think really hard about it...
is he calling it JOHN RAMBO because... by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 01:36:08 PM
... thats the name of the main character?
My opinion is: by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 01:45:22 PM
StrangeCo is American. And therfore bias towards his wonderful little world (by world, I actually mean country). Every second that BUSH is in power, your country continues to be the ultimate hypocrit. Is there much difference between 'terrorists who kill' and 'world police who kill'? Isn't the key word still gonna be KILL? I aint a yank (thank God) and I ain't a terrorist, so I have no bias. America certainly doesn't help itself. And it tries its hardest to piss everyone else off. This is a yank-run website, full of yanks... so I fully expect to be shouted down... but i'm only saying what I see.

either way, Gregorso.... by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 01:54:19 PM
you can be sure to rely on the KGB.
Seph_J by Darth Sicilian	May 16th, 2007 01:54:37 PM
So you are equating the US people to blood thirsty terrorists? Hmmm? That makes sense. Also you have no bias against terrorists? Wow. You sound like an honorable guy. Also whatever country you're from (since you're so happy not to be a "yank")...the U.S. has probably saved it's ass militarily or economically at some point in history. So show some respect.
Ah StrangeCo by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 01:56:57 PM
You American? I guess so, because you're the only people dumb, arrogant and disrespectful enough to refer to tragic loss of life in such a gleefull and disgusting way. Remember fucking slavery, you starspangled cunt.
Somewhere in Afghanistan, late 1986 by Abominable Snowcone	May 16th, 2007 01:57:25 PM
CIA intelligence approaches tent headquarters of local 'mujahadeen' warriors: "So, yeah guys, here some more Stinger missiles for you, and a book about how to fly planes. I know you don't have a lot of aircraft, but it doesn't hurt to know, right? Heh. Oh, now these here are hunting knives. Always good to have around. In the kitchen or the battlefield. Heh! Don't go cutting anyone's heads off, now, heh heh!"
Darth Sicilian by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 02:01:10 PM
The only thing America saves, is itself.... cant you see that? WWII.... did you get involved because of the slaughter that was going on in Europe? or was it because the Japanese made you look stupid by sinking all your ships? War 'on terror'.... who was that saving? Oh I remember... all those innocent people in the middle East, in Afghanistan... no wait, sorry... Iraq. Or was it because you wanted to save yourself again, from some lunatics destroying another NY building. Actually, the places in the world who DO want intervention, you conveniently ignore. "Oh we are unhappy with China because they support some more lunatics in Africa.... but... what we gonna do....lets make another movie about it, like Black Hawk Down... that was a good film."
Merrick.... by avs28785	May 16th, 2007 02:03:03 PM
In my opnion i think it has political charge. I think it is somehow representing the aid workers who were being killed in sudan. The shit does happen and noone does anything about it. how bad ass would it be if Rambo was in sudan right now helping the aid workers do there job and fight off the god damn pieces of shit who are comitting genocide. What do you think? Any possible connections or somewhat of a politcal charge?
StrangeCo by Darth Fart	May 16th, 2007 02:05:18 PM
Thanks for the history lesson. Next time, listen carefully to our government speeches. They use the right words to make you fearful, so you'll become obedient. Thankfully, folks are getting smart, just not you. Tibet was done over the Chinese - they'll become an awesome might. They send their students to the West to learn English and Western cultures - their master plan to take over the world. muwhahahaha
Black Hawk Down by Darth Sicilian	May 16th, 2007 02:10:09 PM
Hmmm. Somalia. Muslim on Muslim violence. People starving. U.S. goes in to try to help humanitarian aid get through. They turn around and try to kill us. That proves we're only looking out for ourselves..how? Way to make a point.
This could go either way by Vern	May 16th, 2007 02:12:53 PM
I don't know man, Stallone's current look was perfect for ROCKY BALBOA. He really looked like an old boxer that's been punched in the face too many times. I really liked that movie, it was a down to earth character piece revisiting the sacred grounds of the first one. But for some reason seeing him now in the Rambo getup is not as fitting, it's kind of sad. He almost looks like a dude dressed up as Rambo instead of the real guy. Even more than the ROCKY sequels, the ridiculous FIRST BLOOD sequels turned him into a super hero, this chiseled Native American Adonis. Now we see him and he's still got long hair and a head band, but age hasn't made him more interesting like Clint Eastwood. It's made him more dumpy like everybody else. But if they do it right that could be what the movie is all about, I don't know. I want it to be more like the physically astounding but emotionally vulnerable character of FIRST BLOOD, which is the one in the series that I really love. So maybe this is what I want. I'm just not sure. One thing is for sure, I do look forward to this movie, and mainly because it's being directed by Stallone. At least we know the action is gonna be old school. We need somebody to keep it alive.
give it up StrangeCo, you are drowning here mate... by Seph_J	May 16th, 2007 02:13:49 PM
Clearly, anyone having a discussion about a certain topic who mentions 'being bias' is referring to the topic of conversation in hand, not the ability to BE BIAS in general. You YANKY idiot. Yes America is a hypocrit. They disagree with communism, and the lack of democracy... and yet you have a PRESIDENT who was not even elected, and who went to War without the approval of the people. Explain the differences between this and communism? Or Nazi Germany even? Stating that America 'pissed everyone off' really isnt me taking a bias viewpoint. How can it be? Now, you didn't quite conform to my theory of the 'three-stage talkback comeback TSTC, because you had more than three parts.... but the fact that your final point... cleverly designed to destroy my argument was based around the fact that.... wait for it... you can't actually shout on the internet. Brilliant. Well done... you've just made the USA's education system very proud. Still the dumbest fuckers in the world I see. BUSH leads by example.

Don't say christians try and force religion on other people for aide. They are practically the only ones out there willing to help, prick. Yes Americans are selfish what else is new. I am proud to be an American, we do a lot of good. For someone saying Ausies hates us, thats just retarded. Have you been to Australia. And no one should show any type of disrespect towards any loss of life. It wasn't a building it was two and let us not forget over 3,000 people. Would you have 3,000 of your wherever you come from country men die and your goverment do nothing. So once again......Fuck you all and start talking about movies you annoying fucks.

I am not proud to be selfish by avs28785	May 16th, 2007 02:30:09 PM
I am proud to be an American, the most racially diverse country in the world. See we have cultures and therefore opinions from all over the globe. I like that. I hate Bush. A lot of people do. We have done many good deeds in the past, for whatever the reason. Some might say that matters but honsetly what is anyone else doing about it. If you want a list i really dont have the time. Just look it up in a history book. If you really want to get technical Americans do a lot. Shit you know how many Darfur rallies i have been to. How many petitions i have signed. Some might say that isn't enough and is worthless but its something. To classify America by its government instead of its people isn't fair. I dont do that to Iraq, Germany. Sudam, Hitler, were a fucking cruel evil men therefore its people are? How fucking insane is that. And i am not implying bush is cruel. Anyways here you got me going fucking politics and shit and i just joined the fucking annoying idiots on this site. Thanks.
And will someone by avs28785	May 16th, 2007 02:32:40 PM
comment on my original post so i dont have to talk about this shit anymore. Does anyone see the refrence to sudan and the humanitraian aide workers being killed there to the new Rambo movie. And wouldn't that give it some political charge.
VERN...Sly has aged well...look at the PICS! by ABking	May 16th, 2007 02:33:03 PM
Vern, look at that pic again with the soldier in front of RAMBO! That doesn't look like intense Rambo from FIRST BLOOD -RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II or RAMBO III??? If not then go to www.stallonezone.com and there is a pic with RAMBO shooting some damn HUGE military gun with that crazy look on his face that only Sly can do playing JOHN RAMBO! ROCKY BALBOA was such a great movie and I just don't see Sly dropping the ball now especially at this stage in his career. Every movie needs to count now...
What point of view.... by avs28785	May 16th, 2007 02:42:45 PM
Talking about this shit is annoying or every one has done terrible things. Honestly if talkingback had to be done formally it would just being fucking stupid. I can sound smarter but i would be lying to myself. I type as i think and i dont look back. Like Walter B said proofreading is for pussies. Unless you are in college, or at work.
The Last salvo of The Action Hero. by P2Rock	May 16th, 2007 02:58:24 PM
ABking makes a good point about the dearth action hero's today. I get annoyed by the likes of the Rock and other action or comdeic types look for "roles with depth" or that sorta thing. For crying out like acting like a kick ass take no prisoners hero is a rare skill that few can pulloff believably. You are gifted with a nack for the thing so make the most of it you fools, instead of trying to be sean penn. Who cares if wins oscars, at least you can kick his ass!

First Blood by foreeelectric	May 16th, 2007 03:56:26 PM
What makes First Blood such a great movie was that it was a monster movie where this government-trained killer was the monster. Look at the way it's staged, paced, and shot. Then compare it to a classic monster movie such as Them! It's spot-on. You even have the expert who knows the secret to stopping the monster. The sequels were nowhere near as good because they removed all the suspense and went just for straight ahead action. Anyone who wanted a good action movie probably prefers the sequels, but as a standalone film, there's something really special about First Blood.

Seriously what is it with you sad fucks. You all come out of the woodwork to post on Sly and Arnie etc stories. Re. the wig, ITS NOT A FUCKING WIG YOU FUCKING MORON. Sly has grown his hair out for the film. Lets see how many of you can actually manage that when you're 60! I think Sly looks great and looks just like one of those old guys that you just know could hand most youngsters their ass. I'm sure Rambo's age will be tackled in this but lets remember "you don't just switch it off!"
Sly grew his hair LONG...and about T4!!! by ABking	May 16th, 2007 05:46:45 PM
That is not a wig people...Sly really took the time to grow his hair out...if you looked at Sly during x-mas time til now you would see...As for Arnold and that new TERMINATOR trilogy thing...Randy is not pissed off at anyone. It was the IMDB that actually started that rumor. I just passed it along (my mistake)!

If we don't help out, we get bitched at for not helping and when we do help out, we get bitched at for helping. If Britain/France/China/Russia/Ja pan/whoever was the ONLY SUPERpower, then the same would happen to them.

1.) Chill out. 2.) Threatening someone you don't even know via internet is not a good idea. First off, they have arrested people for stuff like this. Second, the chances of you actually finding him are probably slim. 3.) Everyone is entitled to their opinion. His differs from yours and just because you deem him to not be as well informed as yourself doesn't mean you need to flip a shit. Just let it go. It's an internet argument. No life or death hangs on whether someone wins an internet argument.

Because the charity workers Rambo are rescuing are Christian? Does this upset you and if so, why? More to the point Rambo IV faces the hurdles of not having a definable enemy and the idea that in the last movie Rambo was helping the some of the very people that we are at war with now. I wish Sly the best with all the stuff that’s been going down. This too shall pass.

So before you jump on your Michael Moore certified pansy soap box and spout on and on about how America drives them to do it, explain this to me: Why do we have Christians getting their throats cut in Turkey for printing a book? Why are people at secular rally in Turkey killed and mamed by a bob. Why is a bomb exploded at in easter celebration in Egypt? Why is the "friendship express" bombed in India, killing over 150 people? Why did the Taliban uses child to behead a spy"? Why in Thailand wasa 70-year-old Buddhist man is shot three times in the torso by Muslim radicals, who then set fire to his body?

Then it will be... well, it will be okay. I'm not as optimistic as 99% here after the Sly questions, though - Rocky is one thing, but Rambo has always been pretty much a big joke. If the franchise handled too seriously in this one, it may backfire on Sly. Hope not, though.
oh yeah, Cobra 2 would rock by classyfredblassy	May 16th, 2007 08:31:52 PM
Corba set record for most music montages to bad 80's music in a single film. We need more of that today, instead of the hand held shaky cam shit.

Indy and Rambo by abcdefghijklmnop	May 16th, 2007 08:54:30 PM
Unlike Rambo, Indy was never a youth-based character. He was an Everyman who frequently got his ass kicked, then somehow had to overcome the odds with determination. He's also a character that admitted in the very first film he had too much mileage, and one that Ford has already portrayed as an older guy with a grey beard. Rambo, on the other hand, is a character that relied heavily on his physical strength to save the day. He was always in amazing shape and portrayed as a kind of superhero who could do outrageous things (like surviving a fall off the face of a cliff). I think it will be a little easier to believe Ford as an old college professor that gets beat up...than Stallone as an old Rambo taking out a Burmese army. Now having said that, I do hope Ford doesn't look as silly in the fedora as Stallone is currently looking in the headband. (And I hope future pics are a lot more flattering to Stallone, too.)

Stallone's directing so I have faith by corvette63	May 16th, 2007 08:59:27 PM
that it will be better than the previous sequels. I recommend, to anyone interested, you watch First Blood with Stallone's commentary on. Stallone understands what didn't work in the sequels and what was special about the original. Hopefully he can pull off the same feat that he did with Rocky Balboa. The one thing that concerns me from the still is that Rambo shouldn't have long dark hair at his age. Right?

So Rambo should have long grey hair then... by ABking	May 16th, 2007 10:11:41 PM
It's all about how something looks visually...for the person that said it worries you that Rambo's hair is still black...can you imagine Sly with all grey hair running around, LOL! So far the pics we have seen are good...none of em look as bad as some of you are making em out to be. I remember going through this with ROCKY BALBOA last year!

Dumpy Sly? by H8ZomB	May 16th, 2007 10:31:02 PM
I like people calling Sly's physique as dumpy. Look, the man's 60 and he's got a body better than most of us in our 20s and 30s. (Sure, maybe with the help with some growth hormones, but impressive nonetheless) What are we gonna look like in our 60s? Ear hair, man boobs and bad pants I tell you.... bad bad pants.

How time effects us all... by sonnyboo2	May 16th, 2007 10:57:35 PM
I saw FIRST BLOOD when I was 10 years old. It was a great movie, and when RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II came out, I loved it then. By the time it was RAMBO III, my interest was waning. Having watched all 3 of these on DVD recently, I can only say that FIRST BLOOD retains ever ounce of gravity and power as when I was a kid. RAMBO, FIRST BLOOD PART II was a horrendous, ridiculous popcorn fest with the least amount of realism and laughable action sequences imaginable... until RAMBO III. For all the "rapid machine gun fire, Rambo never gets hit, but every single shot nails a non-white bad guy" cliche of II, I can't believe how much worse III was. The great irony of III (along with a THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, James Bond movie) is that they are sympathetic and helpful to basically OSAMA BIN LADENish characters and the same AFGHANI FREEDOM FIGHTERS that we are fighting with now. Gotta love the 80'....

to A.B. by Vern	May 17th, 2007 03:11:50 AM
Yes, people will (and already have) made fun of old Indiana Jones. They have made fun of bald John McClane, and old Rocky Balboa. I really was not making fun of Stallone, I love old Rocky. I'm just saying that Rambo is such an icon in his chiseled youth that it is kind of shocking to see him like this. It's like if we suddenly saw James Dean at 55 with a fat head. Maybe "dumpy" was the wrong word because Sly is obviously pumped up, but how about WIDER. The guy has gotten wider, you can't deny it. But that's life. In general though I am all for old badasses. Anybody complaining about these guys being too old isn't thinking. Clint Eastwood could break any of these guys in half by staring at them and he's way older. Clint, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, hell, even Paul Newman put the lie to that one. There are and have been plenty of old people worth fearing.
Muhjadeen in Afghanistan by Wyrdy the Gerbil	May 17th, 2007 03:50:57 AM
Now i might be wrong but i believe that some of you seem to be a bit confused between the Taliban and Muhjadeen,at the time the Muhjadeen were fighting the Soviets they were made of of a loose alliance of Islamic fighters and the northern tribesmen ....after they had pushed the Soviets out of Afghanistan the islamic fighers became the basis of the Taliban and the northern tribes went back to their mountains,dont forget that when the US and British forces liberated Afghanistan it was also due to the help of those same northern tribes that they suceeded the same tribesmen that were Muhjadeen so please dont tar all the Muhjadeen with the same brush as the Taliban because they aint...
Eighth Blood by Napoleon Park	May 17th, 2007 03:58:39 AM
The actual chronology of the octology is: The Born Losers, Billy Jack, The Trial of Billy Jack, Billy Jack Goes to Washington, First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III and John Rambo. Nothing wrong with old, thick and wide. John Wayne was The Duke until the end, and it took Cancer to take him down. (Well, that or Bruce Dern, the only man to actually kill The Duke in a movie. Well, except for an anonymous Mexican soldier in The Alamo...)
Yeah, but Vern....... by lost.rules	May 17th, 2007 04:44:51 AM
James Dean ain't making movies at fifty five. Sly is. I, generally like him but, I dunno...I think his prime has past. I just wish he tried to make new films, instead of rehashing old ones. Clint remaines successful, cause he's constantly moving in new directions. Sly seems to be sticking to the old ones. What do u think? Would u like to see Clint making Dirty Harry 5? Or the should've been Best Picture winning Letters From Iwo Jima?

There's nothing wrong with aging heroes, but... by Bobo_Vision	May 17th, 2007 06:06:14 AM
I have nothing against action movies with aging stars, only thing is, it works when the movie realistically addresses their advanced age. Rocky Balboa addressed it, and Indy 4 will address it. I don't know if John Rambo will address it, especially since as was mentioned, he became almost like a comic book superhero in II and III. If the movie addresses it, it can work, but if it acts like its the same Rambo of yore, it may come off as funny and awkward.

BSB, right about Trautman by Abominable Snowcone	May 17th, 2007 08:02:03 AM
Richard Crenna was a good actor, but the dialogue for Trautman was never very good, and never made him seem very sympathetic to Rambo or respectful of Rambo's earned right to be left alone. Whenever Rambo wasn't around, Trautman would babble complimentary platitudes to third parties about him like, "He's the best" or "Hell is his home" or "God would have mercy...he won't." Then when shit hits the fan and they need Rambo's help, Trautman never seemed to have qualms about putting John in harm's way. Sure, he kinda helps bail Rambo outta prison in II with his offer of a recon mission, but Rambo ends up screwed. And after all he endured in II, Trautman has the nerve to interupt John's relative life of quiet at the monk temple and ask him to go in harm's way again.
If your going to hate on a religon by Purgatori	May 17th, 2007 08:26:27 AM

He's not a Christian, he was a fat hyporcritical bastard. But the fact is, if someone said that these "peaceworkers" or whatever were say, Muslim or Buddhist, or even Wiccan there wouldn't be a shit comment like that to follow it.
Don't hate on Col. Trautman by classyfredblassy	May 17th, 2007 09:13:30 AM

John Rambo is a... ZIONIST! by Damonster	May 17th, 2007 09:52:37 AM
Sound the shofar! Rambo is schlepping back into action and he's shvitzing Israeli victory in violent land dispute! He's deployed by Israeli Special Forces into Palestinian war-torn shtettles to drive those bastards m'shugna. This time around those P-stine rock hurlers are gonna become ultra-nebish in comparison to Rambo's arsenal--which now includes fiery passion for kosher products and parve peace agreements. "You son-of-a-bitch! I knew it was you in Beruit!" It's gotta be a prequel where John Rambo makes an unlikely working relationship with a US Special Ops named... "Dutch"! Someone must know what I've been eluding to as an awesome Rambo/other action favorite. I gave two hints. It also would blend with this "other" movie's briefly mentioned chronology.
This was totally not the way to go with this. by FluffyUnbound	May 17th, 2007 09:53:04 AM
Sly should have given taking the "Copland" route one more try and done this as a straight drama. First Blood was the underpinnings of an actual drama in there under the cool "Let's fuck up Brian Dennehy in the woods" stuff. "Old, broken Rambo whom time has passed by" was the way to go here.

Clint directing Dirty Harry remake with 'Wolverine' by pokadoo	May 17th, 2007 11:40:12 AM

Clint's Dirty Harry remake by Spandau Belly	May 17th, 2007 11:48:24 AM

Stallone versus Ford by Spandau Belly	May 17th, 2007 11:51:42 AM
I actually think Harrison Ford still looks really good. I just think he lost his charisma in the early 1990s. Even though he looks fit and all he seems really sleepy in all his movies. I think The Fugitive was the last time I found him entertaining on screen. Stallone on the other hand is still very charismatic and in great shape. His approach to Rocky 6 was brilliant and I'm sure he has a fitting end in mind for Rambo.
Rambo 20 by sith-vol	May 17th, 2007 12:30:11 PM
Rambo III couldn't be First Blood 3 because you can only draw First Blood once.....for that matter Rambo should have been Second Blood and Rambo III should have been Rambo: Third Blood-First Blood Three: The Taliban Boogie. I think this is a horrible idea. Its not the least bitt relevant today. Instead they could wait five more years and then remake First Blood with the main character being an Iraqui War vet since this conflict is turning into this generation's Vietnam.

Rambo III when there was no I or II by The Moseph	May 17th, 2007 12:45:18 PM
YES!!!!!!!! My God, that irritated me to no end and still does evidently! I always thought it was a cop out since everyone seemed to want to call Rambo: First Blood Part II "Rambo II". I guess they figured why not call it what everyone is going to refer to it as anyway. I still believe that a little creative brainstorming would have solved that problem. Thank GOD they aren't calling this one Rambo IV!!!! In a way I understand the title of the new film, but I'm not sure I would've gone that way especially in light of having recently done the same thing to the latest Rocky installment. I'm hoping the story will be a personal one for Rambo, fitting the title and not just another half assed lazy moment in the creativity department.

Enter Jackie. Brigitte says "It's Jackie". Jackie sees Brigitte and hears "It's Jackie" and, with Stallonian acuity of mind says as a riposte: "Yeah...Brackie". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Zj0nUpiAKfo Even better if you imagine Scooby Doo saying it.
