Re: Rambo

Scionguy05... a friend called me today and said the movie is awesome, but very graphic, and recommended I see it. I'd read on IMDB that Stallone had cast another actor for the late Richard Crenna's role (seen in all 3 previous films), but then decided to omit the character before shooting RAMBO. Instead, my friend said there are a few "flashbacks" to previous scenes that Crenna filmed for the other movies.

I'm going to go see it this week, and look forward to the eventual Blu-ray release too. For HD-DVD fans, it will probably appear on non-N.American editions, just like the other 3 RAMBO films are out on HD-DVD now, in both Australian and European editions, and can be ordered from the USA's Xploited Cinema (Ohio).

I went to see it yesterday with some friends. I have NEVER seen a mainstream movie in a theater with so much violence. Man, it was to the point to where it was actually kinda funny. I thought I was watching Stallone's version of "Story of Ricky". If anyone is familar with the Soldier of Fortune games on XBOX this is the film equivalent. 90 minutes of dismemberments and full body explosions (not to mention, about five exploding heads). My friend said the body count was counted on some web-site as being somewhere around 356.

Tears of the Sun was pretty violent. Maybe not as much as Rambo but the fact that it was that countries army doing terrible things to it's own people. The Burmese Army was doing most of the killing.

Love Hendrix- i will buying this movie, hopefully they have a nice dvd set with all the rambos! HOpefully in hd! and if its in blu ray ill have to get a blu ray player lol, i was thinking of geting a combo player anyways, there is alot of war epics i want in my collection that just arnt out in hddvd, but rambo is a must see in theathers, Everyone in the theather was giving a bunchs of ewww's and ooooo's lol

Well I caught Rambo saturday night at 7:30pm, there was only about 20 people total in the theater and I can see why...

As far as action this is the best of the series, but everything leading up to it is just a blur, and extremely forgettable. I was so let down by it, and had to come home and watch First Blood to remember what a good Rambo movie was like.

5 out of 10.

Rambo pulled in a healthy $18.2 million over the weekend (20 years after the third installment in the franchise), right behind the $18.7 million of the spoof movie Meet the Spartans.

USA Today made the following report today...

RAMBO May Fire Up Another Sequel

To quote John Rambo, "Nothing's over!" After the fourth installment of the Rambo franchise did well at the box office over the weekend, Harvey Weinstein, one of the film's executive producers, starting talking about another sequel. Weinstein has had conversations with producer Avi Lerner and Sylvester Stallone about a fifth film. One idea: Return Rambo to the USA.

I don't know how many of you have seen Hot Shots Part Deux, the one that parodies Rambo. During the final battle sequence when Rambo is mowing down soldier after soldier. All I could think about was the scene from Hot Shots where Charlie Sheen is killing a bunch of soldiers and there's a little counter that's keeping score and finally it reads "BLOODIEST MOVIE EVER".

Hendrix, your great man.
I cannot wait to own this! John Rambo certainly ranks up there with the best for me. Even though this movie will suck!

Sidenote-"How in the hell do you post a topic on dvd town,I have a good one as taken from Home Theater magazine about the PS3 and how it is still the best bluray player to get".

Hey blade... yeah, I got my copy of Home Theater Mag about 4 days ago, and read the same great review about the PS3 (40GB model), and considered posting excerpts here as well (but have been lazy). The magazine's website will eventually add it, but usually they take a few weeks.
