TimRoss Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Seriously not safe for work... http://www.aintitcool.com/multimedia/AICN-JOHN-RAMBO2.mov I've always been "meh" about Rambo, but I'm curious to see what a rejuvenated Stallone does with another dead 80's franchise of his after so thoroughly enjoying Rocky Balboa.

aricandover Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I watched this a few hours ago. I don't know about a full length film, but this trailer would've fit in perfectly during Grindhouse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimRoss Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Surprisingly graphic, eh? I ignored Rambo III for a long time, but after film school I really came to like the Eisenstein-styled action montages. Don't know if I'll see it, either. Might have a hard time finding someone to go with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I've never been a fan of them retconning the original film's title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 First Blood was a fine motion picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Rambo saves blonde from the evil brown people. Too bad that dude could not get some more roles like he had in Copland - the rest of the his career is crap. Although, I suppose the first Rocky film is good - not my cup of tea though.

isadorah Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 makes me want to watch First Blood again. I vaguely remember that the first one was extremely different in storyline and "theme" from the sequels. Almost a bit wrong the way the character was shifted into for the sequels. I was a bit nervous about Rocky Balboa and I too thoroughly enjoyed that movie, so I will of course give this a go. My dad's gonna love it! I agree with Analogman. Copland has to be Stallone's finest work. He took a serious pay cut to do that movie and I think gained something like 40 lbs. and it somehow stalled out his career. It was such a great role for him and he did such a good job with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Agreed heartily. Such a useless lump of meat. Copland is the ONLY thing with him in it that is halfway decent. His role in Copland was fantastic. And just a tiny bit of love for Rocky 1? That movie is so great. Stallone, whether intentional or not, played the Rocky character so perfect...his kind of dumb, sweet, likeable goofiness. The whole scene where he's skating with Adrianne was done beautifully. Stallone can be criticized for a lot of things (ahem...Cobra), but I don't think Rocky 1 deserves ANY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I must admit I have never seen a Rocky movie. I will never knowingly watch something with him in it ordinarily but I did like Copland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 i agree with jakobnicholas. rocky 1 is definitely worth the watch. very well-done (intentional or not). i heard stallone wrote rocky 1 in a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I watched it - did Stallone cash in a coupon that read "2 for 1: Name Your Tired Franchise's New Installment By The Full Name Of Its Star And Get The Second Title Free"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462499/ looks like they haven't quite settled on a title for it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if this really comes out what can we expect next from him? Seriously, I don't care to see this. To each their own though. I predict Rambo V will have John J. Rambo beating someone to death with a walker. Just my 2 cents. But I have never been a Stallon fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
