John Rambo
 

Gotta be one of the bloodiest trailers I've ever seen.
Haven't seen a First Blood movie in so long I'm not too sure about this one.
Stallone's really starting to look old and I'm not sure the long hair and bandanna still works for him.

Still a year away but I'll check it out when it comes out anyway.

John Rambo Trailer

:eek:

Re: John Rambo
 

I agree on the bloodiest part. They are probably counting on the gore to help, and it very well may, but that is one of the last things that gets me buying a movie. The first one was great . . .

Re: John Rambo
 

Lucky for them its probably one of the first things I look for in an action war-type movie like Rambo. Even the first and second were kind of in the gore category for the 80s but this one takes the cake man. I'm really looking forward to seeing it and good on Sly for reawakening his acting career.

Re: John Rambo
 

So what's the premise? Terrorists take over the nursing home?

Re: John Rambo
 

I am also glad that he re-awakened his acting career. I have had Rocky Balboa since it first hit DVD.

Re: John Rambo
 

oh my lord!

I have to admit...I was all set to type in "CRAP" as soon as I saw the thread...but holy crap on the gore factor!!! might just have to get excited for this one

Re: John Rambo
 

It seems to work in that trailer and looks like he's carrying his own as well. I agree that the trailer indeed has a hell of allot more carnage than his first Rambo flick. Reminds me a bit like Saving Private Ryan. Where he's like 2 feet away blowing the men away with that armor penetrating ammo there.

Re: John Rambo
 

How pissed will Bruce Willis be that his new Die HArd film is PG-13, then Stallone comes out with this.

Re: John Rambo
 

Anyone remember the ratings of the first Die Hard?

Re: John Rambo
 

They were all rated R weren't they?

Re: John Rambo
 

Wow, they are 'still' classified as rated R in Canada and the US. I can't imagine how wimpy this new one will look now.

Re: John Rambo
 

Naughty naughty :yup:

Re: John Rambo
 

So is this the new thing for him? Using the full names of his old characters for these recent senior citizen sequels? First Rocky Balboa, now John Rambo.

I enjoyed Rocky Balboa. Sad to see him looking so old, though. He used to be sexier.

Re: John Rambo
 

I cannot wait for Lincoln Hawk to come out.:)

Re: John Rambo
 

I am a big stallone fan. Love the rocky and rambo movies. daylight. lockup. saw the rocky balboa as soon as it came out and got it on dvd on first day.

But i saw the trailer for rambo 4. Hmmmm.....i dont know.:confused:

Its been many years since rambo 3 and rambo is a famous charatcer so we should be expecting something special. A good quality film.

after seeing the trailer, it looked simple. Rambo going into another asian jungle and blowing people away? havent we been there done that? and my goodness was it gory.

the cinematography looked basic too.

Now that its the year 2007 and stallone is a good writer, I hoped that rambo 4 would be physchological as well as physical.
maybe set it in modern day new york (or any city) and have him surrounded by a group of vicious killers. (like a better version of cobra).

Or maybe have a group of vicious assasins sent in to kill him etc.
just something special. Unfortunately, i didnt feel that in the trailer.
and yeah, he did look too old.

He doesnt have that rock solid jaw line and great body which made him so impressive in the early rambos.:bawling:
however, still look forward to it. Oh, also look forward to the original first blood rambo book by david morrell whcih i ordered.

:modest:

Re: John Rambo
 

Thats because he is an old fart now :yup: it will happen to all of us,:yup: oh! :eek: poo it has happened to me :bawling: I AM AN OLD FART NOOOOOOOOOO ;D

Madness!

Re: John Rambo
 

I'm as excited to see this as much as I am to see Hudson Hawk 2...'UGH!!!' :sick: :sick: :sick:

Re: John Rambo
 

The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.

That trailer was awesome. I like the look of this film. Why? I don't think its taking itself too seriously. I love the over the top beheading and ripping out someones throat.

Looks fun :modest: I didn't like Ram First Blood Part 1 though. I might re-watch.

Looks about 100x better than Die Hard 4.0 which looks god awful. Taking itself too seriously :)

Re: John Rambo
 

You nailed it head on!

Re: John Rambo
 

The film is directed, written and stars Sylvester Stallone. Along side Stallone - there's Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish, Rey Gallegos, Jake LaBotz, Tim Kang and Paul Schulze.

Plot Summary: Twenty years after the last film in the series, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has retreated to northern Thailand, where he's running a longboat on the Salween River. On the nearby Thai-Burma (Myanmar) border, the world's longest-running civil war, the Burmese-Karen conflict, rages into its 60th year. But Rambo, who lives a solitary, simple life in the mountains and jungles fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as medics, mercenaries, rebels and peace workers pass by on their way to the war-torn region.





That all changes when a group of human rights missionaries search out the "American river guide" John Rambo. When Sarah (Julie Benz) and Michael Bennett (Paul Schulze) approach him, they explain that since last year's trek to the refugee camps, the Burmese military has laid landmines along the road, making it too dangerous for overland travel. They ask Rambo to guide them up the Salween and drop them off, so they can deliver medical supplies and food to the Karen tribe. After initially refusing to cross into Burma, Rambo takes them, dropping off Sarah, Michael and the aid workers...

Less than two weeks later, pastor Arthur Marsh (Ken Howard) finds Rambo and tells him the aid workers did not return and the embassies have not helped locate them. He tells Rambo he's mortgaged his home and raised money from his congregation to hire mercenaries to get the missionaries, who are being held captive by the Burmese army. Although the United States military trained him to be a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Rambo's reluctance for violence and conflict are palpable, his scars faded, yet visible. However, the lone warrior knows what he must do...


Rambo hits theaters January 25, 2008

Re: John Rambo
 

Thanks jrs :) I am not a big Rambo fan so may wait for this to come out on DVD :yup:

Re: John Rambo
 

Hopefully this movie brings the series to successful and satisfying conclusion. And Live Free or Die Hard was pretty awesome-I was pleasantly surprised.

Too bad the damn trailer is no longer available.
