DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Just when we all asked for it. RAMBO 5!!!!!

Save me your old jokes. You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best.

Stallone readies for fifth 'Rambo'

John Rambo's officially readying for a fifth mission.
Nu Image/Millennium Films has greenlit the franchise's fifth installment, with Sylvester Stallone starring and directing, repeating his duties from 2008's "Rambo."

The upcoming project's storyline revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border. Production will start in the spring.

The film will be produced by Avi Lerner, Kevin King Templeton and John Thompson. Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short and Boaz Davidson will exec produce.

Stallone had indicated in interviews that a fifth Rambo was in the works. He teamed with Nu Image/Millennium on the 2008 project, which grossed $42 million domestically and $113 million overseas.

Nu Image/Millennium is in post-production on "Expendables," starring Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Mickey Rourke. The actioner's set for release on April 23 through Lionsgate.

Rambo first appeared in the 1982 pic "First Blood," followed in 1985 by "First Blood II" and in 1988 by "Rambo III."

Thought the plot was going to center around terrorists taking over the wrong nursing home .

I still don't understand why he isn't in jail for killing deputies of the law and pretty much blowing up a town.

Jason Bourne could destroy Rambo.

And yes, he's too old (and roided up).

The cops provoked him. Once they turned that fire hose on him in the cell, it was ON! And that cancels out any murder or arson charge. Actually, First Blood was a freaking GREAT movie. Everything after that.....meh.

i was actually quite surprised, that last one was really good.

First of all, it's only a movie.

Second, in the first sequel he was in jail and then his old commander got him out to help with a problem that he had the special skills for. Remember Richard Crenna coming to a prison to visit Rambo and talk him into helping find POW's.

And finally, not that it's an excuse, but he was forced to defend himself after being harrased by that nutbag of a sheriff and his deputy dog wannabes

and one other thing... It's a MOVIE

Punch-

I love the Bourne movies! Have you seen there's another one coming out next year? (It's untitled so far).

Agreed, actually was surprised by the last one. But when your expectations are low, it doesn't take much to surpass them.

I'm still waiting for Conan: The Barbarians Return

Sly needs to give it up. The last Rambo was horrid. I wanted to walk out of the theater but stayed in the hope of a strong ending. If I didnt love the first rambo's i probably would of left. Lets hope he doesnt want to make another Rocky too.

Copland: Part II - Cops on Ice

Agreed. Especially since he busted the whole operation at the end of the 3rd movie. I'm intruiged to see where they go with it from here.

I am also a huge Bourne fan. I also are wondering what they do from here. I hope since it's a different author they don't screw it up like the people did with Bond.

Casino Royal was spectacular but it was also a Sir Ian Flemming novel that was modernized. Quantam of Solice was a half assed peice of garbage that some two bit writer attempted to make a sequal.

As far as Rambo I still havn't seen 4 even though I've heard it was good. I finally saw Rocky Balboa and thought it was ok even though the fact that a 60+ old boxer hanging with a current champ is pretty laughable but it's hollywood so w/e.

And the answer to why Rambo is not in jail was because his Col. took him at the end of First Blood and helped him leave the country. That's why all of the other Rambo's take place in a foreign nation. IIRC

Might as well change this thread to the MANLY MOVIE NEWS thread . . .

'Bad Boys 3' in the works
Peter Craig will write the screenplay
By Borys Kit

Aug 30, 2009, 11:00 PM ET

Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane "Bad Boys" franchise, tapping Peter Craig to pen the screenplay.

The hope is to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return.

The "Boys" movies feature Smith and Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, caught up in cases involving car chases and explosions.

The first "Boys," released in 1995, helped launch Bay as a director and Smith as an action star even though it was not a fire-stamped blockbuster -- it grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide.

The sequel, released in 2003 when Bay and Smith's stars had risen, grossed $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide.

All parties have expressed a willingness to return if a story can be hammered out. One potential hurdle, however, would be the costly deals with the players.

Craig, repped by CAA and Management 360, co-wrote "The Town," which Ben Affleck is directing for Warner Bros. and which shoots in Boston next month. He is adapting anime "Cowboy Bebop" for 20th Century Fox and Keanu Reeves.

Hell yeah. Bad Boys are great. Funny and action packed....two thumbs up from me!!

Rambo is still a young guy, I say GO FOR IT.

One of the best scenes in any movie is from Bad Boys when the young kid comes to the door to take out Martin Lawrence's daughter. Will and Martin play a hilarious "good cop/bad cop" on the kid. To see the vid, go to youtube and put in "Bad Boys 2 date."

"Hi, Mr. Burnett I'm Reggie"

Yeah I agree Browno. Matins act was kind of funny when the show Martin first came out but after a year or two the antics became repetitive and wore thing. His acting in movies is basically the same thing.

Like GM and I ?

There are certain actors I find play same character movie after movie (with minor exceptions).

Martin Lawrence
Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler
any martial arts actor
Chris Rock
Nicholas Cage

Robert DeNiro?

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt

a few other faves of mine, to fill in your etc.:

Johnny Depp
Morgan Freeman
Denzel Washington
Meryl Streep


...but you've made a very good point.

Chris Rock made a pretty decent sized turn in I Think I Love My Wife. He wasn't the loud mouthed character that he is in real life, and most of his movies. He played a very timid guy. I'm not suggesting it was some breakthrough dramatic performance. It wasn't. But he showcased a little more than most thought he had.

Jim Carrey has also offered enough characters to have that title removed from him. From his usual junk to things like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Number 23.

and The Number 23.

A very good movie.... and definitely NOT the Jim Carey that everyone thinks of.

I think it is just a matter of accepting typecasting for Carrey and Cage. Carrey really is his cliched role, though. He gets to play himself generally. When he has taken chances, he does well.

As for Cage...I want to defend him for Matchstick Men and Adaptation. He was good in both of those movies. Beyond that, though, he accepts the same role in everything. He must save the world. And those movies make money, no matter how blatantly unoriginal they may be. And that means money for his pocket. I can understand his choosing the roles, but it has gone beyond a joke how ridiculous he's been.

Chuck Norris - Missing in Action II. - Awesome movie.

Nicholas Cage is really Nicholas Coppola. That's right, he is Francis Ford Coppola's nephew (how does a dude end up with 2 last names anyway?). The dude is a horrible actor and would have never made it had his first movie role not have been in his uncle's movie. The serious actor in Nick said, "You better change your last name, or no one will take you seriously."
