Rambo IV first trailer *very graphic and violent*
 
Yes. Be warn that the new Rambo movie trailer is very graphic and looks going to be what Rambo has all been about. Enjoy!

Wow. A sequel not being toned down because studios think that PG-13 movies are the only way to go. Got to give Rambo IV props for keeping up with it's formula istead of swaying for "more viewers!"

Duke 05-20-2007 10:52 AM

Isn't there a whole thread about how you aren't going to post here anymore?

Mr._Mutant_Man 05-20-2007 11:52 AM

For Rambo IV, an exception surely can be made?

Man, I've never watched a Rambo film before, but that trailer has sold me on the series.

Spitfire 05-20-2007 12:56 PM

I saw First Blood Part 2 and that was it. I heard Rocky was a feel good movie let's see where they go with this new Rambo. Because the new Die Hard doesn't look very good.

DrSpengler 05-20-2007 01:10 PM

I've only ever seen First Blood, which is apparently very different from the subsequent Rambo films. In that one, Rambo is a deranged hobo who rages a one man war on a small town full of hippies.

It's an awesome movie, though.

Tinuvielsdreams 05-20-2007 01:11 PM

Looks like a blood bath to me...
The new Rocky was more of a homage to him and to Philly, and it had the whole father son angle. Generally it wasn't much more impressive then the others, just newer, thrown into our time. Worth seeing if you are a fan of the series and Stallone. It was actually being filmed in my neighborhood so that was really cool, didn't get near Stallone though.
I haven't seen too much of the new Die Hard yet

ZariusTwo 05-20-2007 01:23 PM

First Blood was based on the book, which actually had a message behind it regarding Vietnam vets and how they can snap after a long time in service. The ending originally concluded with Rambo killing himself, but he was kept alive in the final cut due to his popularity with the audience.

This of course led to the definitive movie, First Blood Part II, which Rambo IV may be the closest to depending on the trailer (Rambo III is one big live-action video game)

Raph's Girl 05-20-2007 04:01 PM

OMG! The trailer alone makes me wanna see it!! Total gore fest!! Awesome!!! Can't wait to see this! I loved the other Rambo films! :evilgrin:

Actually, there are TWO.

Rambo shot an arrow into a guy, and he fell on a land mine.

....I'm seeing this movie.

this movie will be awesome :P

LogicDonny 05-21-2007 12:47 AM

after the success with Rocky Balboa which was a great finish to the series of movies, I have pride in myself that Stallone can do it twice.

Andrew NDB 05-21-2007 01:30 AM

Way gorier than anything I've seen in Rambo 1-3, and no way it's gonna be PG-13! (something I was very worried about with the announcement that Die Hard 4 is going to be PG-13)

I honestly didn't like a whole lot in Rambo 1-3 aside from most of the first and a bit of the third, but that trailer has me totally stoked.

Spitfire 05-21-2007 01:36 AM

This seriously looks like the return of the 80's action movie I have longed for.

Raven 05-21-2007 02:18 AM

I'm not a big fan of the rambo films, nothing but a good popcorn flick....er well kind of. The story looks like it will be repeating the same damn story that was in the last one, ah well I'll probably end up seeing it.

Barkworm 05-21-2007 02:50 AM

Am I the only one who is amused by Stallone's look?

Ramboraph4life aka Matt 05-21-2007 04:43 AM

Awesome, pure awesome!!!!

Yeah this is the promo teaser from aintitcool that Sly did for the Cannes film festival, I do hope he is able to keep a lot of the gore (I mean if Hills Have Eyes remake, Saving Private Ryan, Hostel, Saw 1-3, etc. can, why not Rambo)

Rambo is and always will be the man!! I've seen this promo footage/teaser at least 10 times already...i just can't turn it off. .50 caliber machine gun = enough said :D ...plus I even liked the fact they used the "Land of the Dead" score (that last track on the CD score soundtrack) for the second half of the trailer

Weirdly enough a lot of the times i've watched this teaser I've actually pictured Raphael in Rambo's shoes (and doing those lovely graphic deeds hehe). I guess that's since Raphael and Rambo are my two favorite characters of all time. I'm sure I'm the only one who has ever done that lol lol.

P.S. To Raph's Girl: You're both a Raphael and Rambo fan??? I think I'm in love :D :D

Stimor 05-21-2007 07:30 AM

Rambo has gone maaaaaad ,_,

Mecha Cow 05-21-2007 09:12 AM

Ouch, Stallone looks terrible. This looks great though and I expect good things after Rocky Balboa. I always preferred the mood of the original First Blood, but hey, I'm not going to complain about senseless 80's-ish violence.

gobo 05-21-2007 09:39 AM

Did anyone else get a Seagall vibe here?

KROW 05-21-2007 11:59 AM

:o

I'm seeing this...

HAHAHAHA!!! Totally!

Warhorse 05-21-2007 06:33 PM

Yep. I just might check this one out.

Wouldn't it be sweet, if Die Hard 4 realy ended up being PG-13 and this new Rambo stomped it in the box office. Would be great to change a studios perception that movies that kids can have access to are going to rake in the money.

Ecto Jedi 05-22-2007 12:56 AM

Damn stupid dial-up. I'll post my comments when I can actually see the damn thing.


--EDIT

Wow, very nice. This one's going to get roasted by the critics for sure, but it sure does look like the sort of fun, brainless, mega-violent action movie we haven't seen for a while.

Die Hard 4 is out in July, John Rambo is out in 2008.... would be nice if both were out around the same time but alas John Rambo's just gonna be stomping all over Iron Man.

I know that. What I meant, was that the studios have this thing in their heads that for a movie to successful, it has got to appeal to the family in some fashion or another. So, more than likely, Die Hard 4 is going to be PG-13 (if it wasn't, the rating would have been out by now, so it looks like they are cutting scenes or editing scenes to bring it down to the PG-13 rating they want.)

But it would be nice, by next year, Rambo comes out, and scores a bigger audience (and it's nice for the men to have the macho movies out once in a while) and maybe stop the studios by speculating that a movie must be a PG-13 or lower to score big bucks.

Spitfire 05-22-2007 05:29 PM

This movie is not going to be a box office smash hit. Look at the studio whose making it. You ever even heard of them?

It'll be like Grindhouse.

I could care less about the studio. It's Rambo!. I'm sure we'll be seeing advertisement like we did for Rocky. There are still bus loads of Sly Stone fans out there.

You ever hear of Carolco Pictures? Of course not. But they were responsible for producing the greatest action film of all time -- Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Then they put all their eggs in Showgirls' basket and tanked.

RaphistheBest 05-23-2007 01:36 PM

Wow. This looks entertaining. I love gore! I've only seen First Blood so I guess I'll just have to seen the others before this one comes out. Oh well, I've got plenty of time to do so.

....man, he's getting old.

Terminator 2 was made by James Cameron and was also a sequel*More closely followed to the release of the first film*

I got your point but this sequel is pretty far from the release of the last Rambo film and with advertisements like this I don't see it being advertised much at all.

LogicDonny 05-24-2007 01:27 AM

Look can I ask you a question,

the last Stallone movie, Rocky Balboa, did you see it and enjoyed it and felt the movie had a great finale to the francise you watched for all these years?

If Rocky Balboa can be awesome, this can too.

GK Punk 05-24-2007 01:29 AM

Yeah I loved Rocky Balboa. This movie has potential to do the same thing for the rambo franchise that Rocky Balboa did for the Rocky franchise.

No I didn't see it, I heard it was a happy circus feel good movie. Some 60 year old wash up gets in the ring and defeats a kid. I never liked Rocky to begin with so maybe that's why but either way I heard nothing good about it from people who weren't fans of the series.

I never said it won't be good, I even said it looks like it might be, I said it won't be advertised very much.

And I have feeling fans of movies like Rocky will hate this movie because it won't be a feel good wuss-fest and it looks like it has some hardcore gore in it. And since everyone wets themselves when they see that now of days I don't see this movie doing very well either.

You heard wrong, and I don't understand why you continue ranting about it after stating you haven't seen the film.

For the record, I'm not a fan of the series.

You call stating the plot of the movie ranting? Then saying I don't like the Rocky series is totally ranting about the newer Rocky movie. My wuss comment was referring to the general audience of movie go-er's not going for violent movies. Most violent movies bomb*Atleast hyper violent ones* 300 was an exception though but don't get me started on that movie.

To each their own. I never said anyone was a fan, in fact I think I was quoting Donny there was I not?

Yeah, like Mecha Cow said, you heard wrong. And for the record, Rocky Balboa was just about the best-reviewed sports movie to come down the pike in a damn long time. Making stupid-ass assumptions like that just makes you sound like a douchebag.

ZariusTwo 05-25-2007 09:03 PM

I'd like to think Stallone will try and weave a story that honours the sophistication and message of "First Blood", but given he's already provided fans with one thoughtful story, he should treat his final performance like a retro gore fest that manages to be more real than the last two movies whilst maintaining how over the top they are.

Terminator 3 served that role for Arnie, even if people rant about it.
