Title: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Der Helm on December 18, 2007, 01:44:52 PM Is this real ? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8KBySFKF8o)
I have the feeling I am late to the party but I just stumbled upon that trailer ... Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Lakov_Sanite on December 18, 2007, 02:18:11 PM It's been out for a while now, I'm sure it was posted somewhere. It's interesting sure I like that they are going with an 'R' rating and not watering it down for mass consumption but it's been i think far too long and all the reaction Rambo can give me now is ...
meh Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: stray on December 18, 2007, 02:40:14 PM That last Rocky movie turned out to be not-so-bad at least. Not any worse than 2 or 4 (3 being the best sequel imo). Rambo sequels have never been good though -- no reason to expect this one to be.
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: CmdrSlack on December 18, 2007, 07:40:17 PM The trailer I saw had shit like people exploding when being hit by a mounted 50 cal and stuff. And I think I saw a decapitation.
It could be "good" simply for being stupidly violent.

And I think I saw a decapitation. It could be "good" simply for being stupidly violent. I think that's what they are going for. I'm sure they are going to fit some backstory and the angst that is John Rambo, but most people are going to see it for the mindless violence. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Cheddar on December 18, 2007, 08:00:25 PM Rambo is a great mother fucking series. Do not believe it? I welcome you to meet my father in law, who (like I) was a communications officer. Except he partook in Vietnam- I would not be surprised to find out he killed 60 hookers and a Sheriff or two.
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: stray on December 19, 2007, 02:47:22 AM Rambo is an insult to real "soldiering", I think.
Not First Blood though. That's up there with Deer Hunter or something. ...OK, maybe not that. Still though, it doesn't get enough credit. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: WindupAtheist on December 19, 2007, 05:49:03 AM I thought that last Rocky was actually pretty good, and I like violence. Shit, I'm in.
The guy turning into a cloud of goo when hit by the 50 cal at point-blank range is awesome. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Der Helm on December 20, 2007, 04:10:12 AM Sadly I will have to see this film on my computer, because there is no way that this movie will be shown in a German cinema
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Tebonas on December 20, 2007, 04:23:28 AM It might be five minutes long after all the cuts, but I think it will be shown! :-)
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: stu on December 20, 2007, 10:22:26 AM This movie is going to kick so much ass. I think that trailer actually came out about four months ago. I've just started seeing the giant cardboards for the movie at local theaters though. If you can find the links, Sly did a weeklong Q & A session with fans over at aintitcoolnews.com several months ago that is worth reading.
Point blank .50 cal to the head. Pretty gnarly. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Der Helm on February 22, 2008, 02:45:43 PM Just saw it.
First I was like :awesome_for_real: then later I was :ye_gods:. Most of the time I was :awesome_for_real: and :ye_gods: at the same time. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Samwise on February 23, 2008, 07:59:17 AM For like the first third of the movie it's all :uhrr: dialogue and backstory. Then Rambo finally starts killing people and it's :drill:.
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Aez on February 23, 2008, 03:14:17 PM When the action started, I dared my friend to count the kills. We had to give up at the next scene. He's doing all the killing but I'm sure the body count surpass movies like Saving Private Ryan and Flags of Our Fathers .
I loved the movie. It's a great action movie, 80's style. It gave me a warm feeling of satisfaction. Last time I felt that way was 300, albeit 300 is much better. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Phildo on February 23, 2008, 04:00:52 PM Could it possibly make a better drinking game than Gladiator? (every three people Russel Crowe kills, take a shot)
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Venkman on February 23, 2008, 05:28:19 PM The Economist has an article about how this is a hugely (illegally) distributed movie in Myanmarr due alone to Rambo fighting their government (the movie something about Christian Missionaries right?) anyway, thought that was interesting...
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Strazos on February 23, 2008, 05:28:53 PM When we saw it, we all joked about the fucking respawns in that last battle scene.
It also made me think of UT-style kill streaks.... M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL! KILL KILL KILL Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: rk47 on February 24, 2008, 12:33:24 AM Here is your cheat sheet
SPOILERS (http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m20/r3dknight/rambokills.jpg) Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Lantyssa on February 24, 2008, 07:07:53 AM Oooh, a 2.59 actual DPM and an effective 3.04 DPM!
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Aez on February 24, 2008, 09:57:11 AM I don't get the 113 good guys killed by bad guys. Is it from the scene where the village his pillaged? I would have said there's much more bad guys killed at the end.
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Nebu on February 24, 2008, 10:02:55 AM I don't even know how people can watch this kind of stuff. It's so contrived that the only entertainment is in watching stuff blow up. Is that it? People are entertained by explosions?
I think I'm from another planet. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Aez on February 24, 2008, 10:24:05 AM What's so hard to understand? Explosions are definitely entertaining.
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Samwise on February 24, 2008, 10:24:42 AM It's lizard brain entertainment. You must be too highly evolved to appreciate it. :grin:
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Nebu on February 24, 2008, 10:27:11 AM It's lizard brain entertainment. You must be too highly evolved to appreciate it. :grin: Highly? No... probably on a different branch. Like robustus or something. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Merusk on February 24, 2008, 01:50:58 PM You don't play with firecrackers either, do you Neb?
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Nebu on February 24, 2008, 02:27:11 PM You don't play with firecrackers either, do you Neb? They're legal in Wyoming, but I've never understood the fascination. If I wanted to blow shit up, I could make some great explosions with stuff in my lab. I've just never found it interesting. I think I'm just more of a builder than a destroyer by nature. Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Merusk on February 24, 2008, 05:20:28 PM I love to build, then destroy.
But then people have always commented on my dual nature. When asked to describe me in a color, it's always some bastard hybrid like "purple" or "orange". /blogderail Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: Samwise on February 24, 2008, 07:12:06 PM I like to build things that destroy other, less manly, things. :drill:
Title: Re: Shit is hitting the fan (John Rambo) Post by: stray on February 24, 2008, 07:37:48 PM I'd probably have a small fortune if I didn't destroy so many toys as a kid.
Oddly enough though, most of the models I built are still in tact. |
