RAMBO

[paul jones]

How excited are you about seeing Sly killing lots of people again?(y)

I can't wait myself

[adam_f]

Not only am I completely fucking ecstatic for the movie, but I also had a neighbor who had a dog named Rambo who went blind and deaf, and yet still found ways to navigate through their house. Dare I say I admired that dog.

[abcdefz]

Zero interest. I've never even watched a Rambo movie; don't care to.

I may be as wrong about this as I was about Die Hard and Robocop, but I bet I'm not.

[adam_f]

I will kill you, az.

[abcdefz]

Please do.

[adam_f]

Well, you seem fairly agreeable, so maybe I'll take you out to eat beforehand. Maybe Ihop. Then I'll murder you.

[abcdefz]

There's an IHOP about six blocks from where I live!

This should work out well.

[adam_f]

What do you have against Rambo, anyway? The first one is fantastic, the second one decent, and the third one is the Rocky 5 of the Rambo's. I'm just curious.

And the Ihop thing works out well. You're driving.

[abcdefz]

I have no car.

The whole Rambo fantasy just doesn't appeal to me at all.

[adam_f]

Nice to hear you have no respect for our nation's veterans.

[abcdefz]

Yeah; that's the mentality exactly.

[adam_f]

Instead of Ihop we'll just go burn flags and listen to Edwin Starr.

[abcdefz]

What would that be good for?

[SOP]

Zero interest. I've never even watched a Rambo movie; don't care to.


First Blood (the first Rambo movie) is quite good, actually. It's worth checking out. (y)

I watched part of Jacob's Ladder last night and finished it this morning.

GET A ROOM, FAGS

[adam_f]

I'll Columbine you too, Paddy.

[abcdefz]

GET A ROOM, FAGS


You complete me. (y)

[Lex Diamonds]

:p

[abcdefz]

You had me at "get."

[A. Chimendez]

It looks like an absolute piece of shit.

[adam_f]

So is your face.

[funk63]

It looks like an absolute piece of shit.


says the assklown.

[RobMoney$]

Dare I say I think Stallone is one of the finest American actors to ever live.

Don't even get me started on Rocky. That shit was practically filmed in my living room.
I've often thought of getting a Limo-Bus and starting a "Rocky Tour"

The man is Philadelphia Royalty.

[Randetica]

same here but im a girl so thats acceptable

[roosta]

I can't wait.

I actually have it, but I wanna see it in the cinema.

If I get bored I might watch it this week though.

The man is Philadelphia Royalty.Are you serious about the finest American actor crack?

I know what you mean about the Rocky Tour, though. We did a Hitchcock tour in San Francisco a few years back. Mrs. Doubtfire had the nicest house.

I have no interest in Rambo 2008, either. I mean, Rocky 2007 was bad enough -- wasn't it?

[Bob]

I have no car.

The whole Rambo fantasy just doesn't appeal to me at all.

i rented the first one expecting a rambo fantasy, with sylvester stallone shooting like a million people with a machine gun, but it turned out to be not at all that kind of movie. it was some stupid crap about a small town turning its back on a vietnam veteran and FOR GOD'S SAKE WHEN IS SOMEONE GONNA SHOOT SOMEONE I DONT WANT NO STORY

anyway my point is that the first one isn't really any more of an action movie than rocky is

[roosta]

First Blood is one of the best films ever made. There's so many great bits, my favourite being the completely inexplicable destruction of the petrol station.

Ive posted this before but it has some of my favourite dialogue in film history:

Teasle: Whatever possessed God in heaven to make a man like Rambo?
Trautman: God didn't make Rambo. I made him!

----------

Teasle: Are you telling me that 200 of our men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?
Trautman: You send that many, don't forget one thing.
Teasle: What?
Trautman: A good supply of body bags.

----------

Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!

Although that last one has to be delivered by an almost unintelligible weeping Sly to give it its proper power

[Bob]

all i wanted was something to eat...but they kept on pushin

[RobMoney$]

Well, I realize his acting skills leave a lot to be desired, but tell me what other actor had two franchises more successful than Rocky & Rambo. Rocky4, the worst one IMO, is the most successful sports movie of all-time. That shit made over 300 million at the box office, and that was back in the day when going to the theater only cost $5.

The man knows he's not some shakespearean type actor and I don't think he's ever tried to be. He works with what he's got so to speak.



I'm obviously biased, but I know a lot of people who thought Balboa was a really good movie.

[marsdaddy]

It's almost as good as the opening scene to Predator.

[roosta]

Predator is on TV right now, he's just after picking off Mac.

[marsdaddy]

He works with what he's got so to speak.Or, not to speak?!

No doubt the first Rocky was great. It's just been done too many times...Rocky 4 is which one? With Drago? Well, that was a straight comedy, right there.

But we're talking Rambo here. Yes, he took the Vietnam war, commie scare, and ridiculousness of action flicks and turned them into a franchise. I am slightly curious to see what he does to al queada but I've got better things to do with my $12 and 2 hours.

I have three words for you: "Over The Top"

[RobMoney$]

I'll see your "Over the Top" and raise you a "Copland" and a "Get Carter".

[roosta]

GET CARTER!!! :confused::eek:(n):(

[adam_f]

Dude...Cop Land was a good movie.

[RobMoney$]

Dude...Cop Land was a good movie.

Word, and so was Get Carter.

[adam_f]

Oh I thought you were being sarcastic about Cop Land. Okay, then we agree.

[paul jones]

all the comments so far have been the best read in a while!

(y)

[abcdefz]

The trailer for Rambo played in front of Cloverfield this weekend. It looked really bad.

Then the last title card came up. I didn't realize Stallone directed the movie, also.

Yikes.

so bad it's good, that's the appeal(y)

[adam_f]

You know az, the fact you don't want to see Rambo has me questioning just how gay you really are. I thought you were David Hyde Pierce at first, now you're just full blown Mario Cantone.

[abcdefz]

Well, I realize his acting skills leave a lot to be desired,





I'd defend his acting in the first Rocky movie anyday. However they got that performance on film, he was fantastic.

Also very good in Copland.

[abcdefz]

I don't like football, either. And I can cook.

Know idea who Cantone is, though.

[The Notorious LOL]

I am slightly curious to see what he does to al queada but I've got better things to do with my $12 and 2 hours.


Hilariously enough, I like how Rambo 3 has this whole Pro-Taliban theme in it and actually has a message at the end that says how its dedicated to the "brave fighters of the Taliban".

[abcdefz]

If George Lucas had directed it that would've been fixed by now.

[RobMoney$]

Ok, today's the day. I'm hosting a full blown "Stallone Day".

Big Sexy 101 and George the Animal are coming over and were going to watch "First Blood" on my 50" flat panel with the surround sound speaker system.
Then were all headed down to the Art Museum steps to pay homage to the Rocky Statue, take some pics and run up the steps.
Then we're headed to the theatre to see Rambo, followed by drinks at the bar in Balboa where little Marie was bartending. It's called "Bentley's Place" IRL.

Yeah I know, I'm fuckin' retarded.

[adam_f]

THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

Aww dammit...run up the stairs once for me.

And yes, it's probably putting all the gore factor in Far Eastern and current slasher films to shame.

[checkyourprez]

i am really looking forward to stallone doing a fatality on one of those little bermese soldiers and ripping his throat out.

I'm guessing you already saw the movie, because he does exactly that,...and it's gory as hell. In fact the whole movie was a gore-fest.


Bow & Arrow, Machette, 9mm, M-16, the 50 cal., he even utilized the old trusty Rambo knife with daft precision. Hell he even killed some of these fuckers with his bare hands.

It was fucking beautiful.

[checkyourprez]

nah i didnt see it, but i watched the unrated trailor on youtube. definatly got me pumped to see it.


rambo is what it is. its for dudes (i guess people, but mostly dudes, or butch lesbians) that want to see shit get blown up, people get killed, lots of big guns, and a bunch of ass kicking. straight up.

[BBboy20]

[ScarySquirrel]

I actually saw this last night, just to see how ridiculous it really was. Keep in mind I've never actually seen any of the other movies in the franchise/series/whatever.

Whoa. That shit was intense. Plus the theatre I was in was so damn loud that I felt like I actually was at a war zone. There was some odd pleasure about seeing a dude get completely blown up by a gatling gun at extremely close range. I did enjoy that part.

I love that this movie puts bodies literally exploding in the norm.

[RobMoney$]

WHAT!?!?

You can get the Rambo trilogy box set for 15$. First Blood alone makes it worth the money.

First Blood was one of Stallones best performances ever. I HIGHLY recommend it.

LANDMINE RACES!

DEMOLITION MAN

[Junker]

Zero interest. I've never even watched a Rambo movie; don't care to.

I may be as wrong about this as I was about Die Hard and Robocop, but I bet I'm not.

Robocop is the fucking best!!! I remember I used to imitate his walk style, with the sounds and everything... :p

[abcdefz]

Robocop is a fucking fantastic movie, and I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to see it. It just sounded so incredibly stupid, but
I didn't realize the filmmakers were in on the joke, too. Great, great movie.

If you can ever see the full version that was rated X at the time, see it. It's not that much longer, but in a couple of scenes the violence
is so incredibly over the top it's just amazing.

Yeah, but anyway. I'm pretty damned certain the Rambo doesn't deserve to carry Robocop's jock.

[RobMoney$]

I used to think you knew your shit when it came to movies,...USED TO!



I gaurantee you'd enjoy First Blood as a serious story filled with suspense and retribution.

[Miho]

Rambo was excellent. Go see it. That is all.

Robocop (20th Anniversary Collector's Edition) dvd has the full version for those that are interested. (y)

[abcdefz]

...so it's kind of interesting that the Rambo crowd grew oddly quiet.

Was this as big a piece of shit as I've read it is (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/john_rambo/)?
