If Rambo Does Well...

[METAL VIPER]

Action movies won't ever be as great as the 80's movies due mainly to censorship and the fact that no modern day actor can standup to some like Schwarzenegger.

Money controls everything. If Rambo does really well, with the level of action and gore it has, it might prompt more movies with said levels of action and gore. We need something to tip the scale back to the days of yester-year where censorship is minimal.

Sadly, its the new trend. Now adays everyone wants the abercrombie model look a like. So most movie stars look like that. And there is no way in hell any of them could fit the role of bad ass.

WE NEED a new arnold.
WE NEED a new Sylvester stalone
WE NEED a new van dam
WE NEED a new Bruce Willis
WE NEED a new Segaul
We can only hope...

[jehst]

we have Vin Diesel and Matt Damon

[omnip0tent]

we have Vin Diesel :/

I think he could pull off a senseless violence movie. We can only hope he does one soon.

That's really interesting because there already are a decent number of balls out action movies. Anything with Jet Li, Tony Jaa, Jason Chatham all fit the description. I think what Rambo better symbolizes is a hero. Modern action movies don't have heroes, they seem to go and defeat their enemies whilst enjoying their BMWs, and supermodel wives, etc. Rambo and Rocky are hardcore. People can associate themselves with the characters. Rambo is a ****ing badass who is more interested in justice than some cash and hoes. I honestly don't believe we have any modern Stallones, Schwarzeneggers, Norris', Willis', Samuel Jacksons, etc. Like I said, I believe that the closest we have to that today would be Jason Chatham, but IMO it isn't the same.

I want to see more people wielding unceccesarily large guns, fighting villains over an absurd and far-out plot, in crazy and uncharted terrain, making hilarious quotes that make light of the massive amount of violence and slaughter. I want heroes without emotion who will shoot a mother****er in the head, and call him a choir boy in the process. The type of hero who lives in a secluded cabin and is called apon when his country needs him, not a guy in a high rise apartment, driving his mercedes around and always talking on his cell phone. We need a ****ing hero.

a lot of those movies were far from senseless.

Rambo 1 was about an ostracized Vietnam war vet who lost all of his friends in battle, came back to an unwelcoming society, and got pushed too far by some assh*le cops. the story was pretty deep, actually.

Rambo 3 was a critique of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. at the end it says "dedicated to the valiant people of Afghanistan" or something to that effect.

The Terminator movies were all about fate and what it means to be human.

but they definitely do paint a picture of a masculine, violent (if necessary) hero. no emo ****.

What about "The Rundown?"











This is probably the closet to Arnold that someone has come in a while. I mean, who else has tried to duel wield shotguns in a movie? (Not Realistic)

[Jmh80]

I've always thought Commando was Arnold's baddest azz movie.

All the guns and firepower he had on that island - he took out an entire South American mercenary army.
Still an awesome movie - over 20 years later.

Ye well you understand what I meant. Didn't mean the movie was senseless more the violence. Was just there because of the sheer amount of awesomeness it brought to the movie. Nowadays they would cut it all out and add a sex scene instead.

**** that. We'll make it come back!

I watched the 1982 Rambo movie last night.. Rambo: First Blood.

It was good but a little annoying. I want to see an action movie where the hero is willing to murder people in cold blood.

Like in the forrest Rambo let all the cops chasing him live.. and his traps only maimed them. He should have killed them all... and when he hijacked that truck he threw the guy out instead of killing him. If he killed him then he could of got away instead of having the whole country on him.. a real action hero is smart and willing to kill at all costs.

Anyone know any movies like this?

But that would go against the plot and story of the 1st movie. He was a good guy being chased for the wrong reasons.

Word. Benji's description sounds more like an anti-hero. Could a person who kills in cold blood really be considered a hero?

Wow. Box office results are in. Rambo came in at #2...

But what is just mindblowing is the #1 movie in North America this weekend is Meet the Spartans!!

Sad...

[omnip0tent]

For old time sakes...

[bruno]

x2 on all three. They're making a new Punisher too right? The first was pretty alpha.

They are making a second one, but it has a different guy as the Punisher, and he looks like a pussy, just saying

[MrPayday]

It'd be better than the ever so popular torture porn trend. I'd love to see movies like Rambo come back. Lots of cheers in the theater, people clapping, lunging forward. It's an all around good time. Let's hope.

Are you fucking kidding me America?!

[Anti_Illuminati]

Saw the new Rambo last night, F*CKING PWNED. He has the right reasons to kill--fighting tyranny, oppression, and just sheer evil scumbag dictators--no matter the cost, no money needed, nor serving some corrupt bastards. Pure unadulterated justice.

[papi93]

can any 1 recomend a good van damme movie i love segal and stalone and all them types of movies so..

Bloodsport, Kickboxer, The Quest, Lionheart, Death Warrant, etc.

[budnick]

I just got back from Rambo and god damn that was a great movie. Blood, body parts flying all over the place and bunch of really big explosions. Good times.

Two thumbs up!

Money controls everything. If Rambo does really well, with the level of action and gore it has, it might prompt more movies with said levels of action and gore. We need something to tip the scale back to the days of yester-year where censorship is minimal.

i beg to slightly differ. critics hated 300 and hate rambo because its politically incorrect ie too masculine and not liberal in nature to push liberal hollywood values. also, theres 1000s of "socially conscious" movies that they push on the public that hardly do $100 and they still produce 100 of those films a year.

no one liked brokeback except the critics. everyone loved 300 except the critics.

[CLEAN_SET_OF_10]

I think The Punisher was pretty good and violent.

And from what I saw of it Die Hard 4 was legit.

[Muzzle]

The best.

The Punisher was very good...when you are comparing it to the action movies of today. None of that Matrix-style nonsense that seems to be preferred in fight scenes today. Nice use of bounty hunters in the movie and I'm, definitely, looking forward to going to see The Punisher II.

JUST to let you know this is the third film not second film of punisher to be made

I'm guilty of buying a "Meet The Spartans" ticket. Only reason being I don't have an I.D. to buy a Rambo ticket. (yes went into Rambo instead)

Don't post here again.


Just kidding. But seriously

Yeah, I bet Meet The Spartans is the worst movie of all time.

Sick of these parody movies.

After we got out of Rambo, we saw some people we knew and they all said they were seeing that stupid movie.
