it looks promising,
I didn't watch it and still know it doesn't look promising.

Yeah... the whole Rambo thing is reactionary-film making at its best/worst... It was, in its original form, a reaction to the perceived emasculation of the US after the Vietnam war- a way to restate American/masculine superiority. *yawn*

No wonder there is a new Rambo film coming out in the current political climate.

Two articles on the topic of Rambo, masculinities and conservative politics are:

Warner, William 1992, 'Spectacular Action: Rambo and the Popular Pleasures of Pain' in Cultural Studies, (eds) L. Grossberg et al, Routledge, London.

and

Jeffords, S. 1995, 'Hard Bodies: The Reagan Heroes' in Hard Bodies, Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick

The trailer looks good which means it is bad news to the left. Now everyone will want to see this new Rambo film. Bad news indeed. Rambo look so fucking old and still comitting all this violence. I'm sure this film will inspire countless youths to join the military. Bad news indeed.

I'm sure this film will inspire countless youths to join the military.

What the fuck. Are kids around where you are really that fuckin stupid?
Everyone that I have shown the trailer too has commenteed on the violence and how fucked it would be to be in the army and get fucked up like that.

Rambo was good when I was 10 and didn't know shit. I'm more into the 'realistic' movies nowadays. Same goes for Rocky.

But science fiction movies for the win or Pirates.

didn't stallone avoid the draft? bit ironic really.

I liked the first Rambo movie which was more about John Rambo coming back from Vietnam all traumatised and fucked up, unable to cope with it all and basicly turning crazy in this town after being fucked over by the cops.

The second and third movies I sort of ignored. As for the new one...how can you not like it...all that blood and decapitation? It will be the nastiest and darkest Stallone movie I guess :D

I've never read the book, but the first film in the series was apparently based upon a novel that actually tried to deal with the horrors of war through a simplistic medium (the action story). How that morphed into a series lauded by Ronald fucking Reagan for its 'moral fiber' is beyond me.

"Sylvester Stallone has pleaded guilty to illegally importing banned human growth hormones into Australia and faces sentencing early next week. The actor, 60, arrived in Sydney in February on a promotional tour for his film, "Rocky Balboa," when a customs search of his luggage turned up 48 vials of the human growth hormone, Jintropin. Three days later, Stallone threw four vials of the male hormone testosterone out of a Sydney hotel window during a customs search of the room, said the prosecutor. Stallone did not appear in the Sydney court, but admitted to the charges and apologized in a letter handed to the judge by his lawyer. "I made a terrible mistake. Not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant of your official rules," the letter read. The maximum penalty for bringing Jintropin into Australia illegally is a fine of 110,000 Australian dollars, or about $91,500, and five years in prison. But Stallone faces a penalty of only 22,000 Australian dollars on each of the two charges because the case is before a local, not federal, court."

Hm, this looks like it'll be a good popcorn flick...

Popcorn flick = no real thought required to understand it, just watch and enjoy the endless and wunderbar gore.

didn't stallone avoid the draft?
No, he was serving his tour of duty in Switzerland. :P

I preferred Red Scorpion starring Dolph Lundgren where he did a kind of soviet version of Rambo so there wasnt really the same pro-US connotations . No sequel unfortunately. :(

Uh.... The movie was produced by Jack Abramoff and the Apartheid South African government, both rabid anti-communists.

It sure as hell wasn&#39;t a "kind of Soviet version" of Rambo. Not when you depict Cubans dumping poison gas shells on Africans from helicopters. It was more like an attack on the Cuban and Soviet assistance to the MPLA in Angola against the Yankee imperialist UNITA and its leader, Jonas Savimbi. The characters were also portrayed one-dimensionally, even worse than a film based on a Tom Clancy novel.

There was a sequel, but since the first was such a piece of shit...well...I don&#39;t think anyone would bother with the second one.

[cubist]

its still a good film despite the connotations, you cant deprive yourself of a bit of fun they are just films, Esp if you steal it :)

i wont pay for it i can assure but i will watch it :)

I still like the rambo line

"All I want all everybody wants, Is for they&#39;re country to love them as much as they love it"

a line in its self relevant to all countries and its occupants,

I wish my country loved its people as mych as they did love it, if it did then we might not have such an apathetic nation here in england,

But with a government of paradoxs what can you expect

[praxis1966]

Ugh, you&#39;ll never in a million years catch me watching a flick like this. Not only are the chauvanistic and reactionary connotations too much to bear, there&#39;s the not so small matter of having to sit through two hours of a bare chested, sweaty, Sylvester Stalone who&#39;s carrying around a rather phallic symbol of masculinity, his machine gun. The Freudian implications are just too much to take.

Then there&#39;s the issue of the bad writing and even worse acting, along with a plot line as stale as month old bread and nearly as juvenile as my 19 month old niece. Nearly.

Almost makes me wish I didn&#39;t have my support for Everton in common with that over the hill meathead.
