[Sannum]

[sasquatch]

6. AAAAHHHH!!!!

*Makes growning battle cry*

[CitrusLib]

2. Oh, that truly blows. I'll have to go stare at

the German chocolate cake post again to get the Rambo image out of my head.

[Rick Myers]

3. Weather update

The temp in Hell this afternoon... 32 degrees F.

[aden_nak]

4. If Harrison Ford can do Indiana Jones IV, why not Sly?

Or, to quote him directly,"Ihh Haaaahhnnn Fuuhhh n'oooo Nyaa'a Oooozoo, iieeeee nuuuhhh iiieeeee?"

[redqueen]

5. Unbelievable...

this should be worthy of MST3K

[Deja Q]

7. What's the plot about? Rambo getting Rambs Jr out of male prostitution?

And drug addiction? :shrug:

[billbuckhead]

9. Rambo goes to Iraq

and gets Zarqawi.

[sasquatch]

11. That's what I'm trying to figure out

:shrug:
WHat the hell are they going to make the movie about.

[MrSlayer]

8. Didn't Arnold already make this movie?

It was called Commando. Replace the drug lord with the White Supremacists and it's basically the same thing. Horrendous idea.

[xultar]

14. You have to read the story line. The story takes place after a number of

years.

It doesn't take place right after the last movie.

It will be an EXCELLENT action flick.

[MrSlayer]

15. I know but the plot is the same as Commando.

After you switch the drug lord to the White Supremacists.

[politicaholic]

10. Rambo 4 - Siege Of The Senior Center

He has a walker with a cumpass and a gun in the leg and this time he's not taking any shit from any young punk that tried to take his heart pills. He'll kick ass, as long as Wheel of Fortune isn't on!

[sasquatch]

12. "Hey I just wanted my viagra, that kid drew first blood!"

:D

[xultar]

13. He may be old but he's in better shape than 99% of the humans.

He'll be fine.

Read the story line. IT takes place after a number of years. So age shouldn't be a factor.

[flakey_foont]

26. the toughest dude

at the Golden Corral ....don't stand between Rambo and those pureed green beans!!!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

16. Rambo IV: Bring Back My Depends!

[Cocoa]

17. Rambo III was a celebration of the mujahideen

back when they were "freedom fighters."

I wonder who'll be the heroes in this one, the Badr Brigade? Chalabi's Army? The Peshmerga? PNAC?

[sasquatch]

18. I remember that!

I wonder who he'll fight beside in this movie?
-Uzbekistan
-Pakistan
-North Korea
-Saudi Arabia
:shrug:

[sniffa]

19. it's gonna be different though

rambo4 - he pubLishes a book to discredit john kerry's war service.

[sasquatch]

20. I wonder who'll pay him off to do this

And I wonder if they'll have Bob Shrum telling John to not fight back on these untrue attack.

[Taverner]

21. Apparently he goes against White Supremacists this time

in the Pac Northwest. Supposed to be closer to the original, First Blood (which was actually decent...)

[sasquatch]

22. Yeah, first blood wasn't bad

I hope there's anti Bush stuff involved.

[Lannes]

24. I really liked "First Blood"

The rest were crapola.

[ET Awful]

23. Maybe he's going back to Afghanistan to kill all those folks he was

friends with before?

[Cocoa]

25. believe it or not, possibly yes...

<snip>

As part of a film franchise which has generated $2 billion dollars at the global box office and created an icon in global popular culture, the premise of the equally popular and controversial treatment envisages John J. Rambo now working at the United Nations, when Islamist terrorists hijack the institution holding the world ransom. Rambo tries to take the terrorists down, knowing that his Afghani-adopted son, Tomask, is part of the terrorist mission.

Initial market research regarding interest in the project’s is at a peak, equally divided between fervour and controversy, with the topical nature of the film specifically designed to attract an international mass-market teenage and adult audience considering the global box office receipts for all three films considerably outweighed domestic profits.

Industry analysts tend to commend the treatment and the plotline. Clint Morris, editor of the prestigious movie news website, moviehole.net, “loved the extremely well-written treatment”, which has also been featured in Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Empire, Premiere and Internet Movie Database. Considering Rambo’s recognition as a global popular icon, controversy about the movie’s plotline has led to particularly vociferous debates, including on imdb.com where postings deemed racist and jingoistic were removed. One irate critic of the globally-oriented treatment perceived the treatment as “an ultra-liberal, European propaganda tool” written by “documentary-maker, Michael Moore, contrasted against another's view of it being “politically-correct Hollywood leftist dogma”. Eminent fans on Stallone Zone, the web’s largest Sylvester Stallone website, have found the project to be highly interesting and exciting.

Other have questioned the need to revive a franchise last seen in the 1980s, particularly with such a controversial title. Other have praised the treatment for “actually linking in a personal way American support for the mujahideen in the 1980s to the current struggle against Islamist terrorism” as well as plot devices: “Having the sweet little Afghan boy from Rambo III be one of the terrorists is a pretty gutsy way to dramatize the issue.” Some have wondered about making Muslims into villains again and furthering that stereotype, whereas other have thought that Rambo’s influence from Sufism is designed to placate any accusations of Islamaphobia. More intelligent commentators recognise the need to return to Morrell’s original vision of the character: ‘First Blood was really more of an anti-war story or at least a critique of how society transformed its sons into killing machines and then ostracized them rather than healing them. It's an ironic beginning for what's regarded as the archetypal jingoistic, war-glorifying film series of our generation.”
