Rambo IV: In The Serpent's Eye

[MulligaN Stew]

Serpents Eye?
Sounds like a gay porn movie

^Oh crap, is the Red Ranger playing Stallones drug-riddled son in this film?

If so, your suspicions are correct.

 

[tinister]

I love the first one. Still watch it to the end whenever I catch it on tv.

Loved the second one when I saw it in the theater with my brothers and all of our cousins - but I've liked less and less as time has gone by.

Saw the third one with my younger brother in the theater. Can't remember a thing about it. It was that bad.

VI (if that's the actual premise) sounds bad.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

wait....Rambo is going against modern day pirates? I think they're trying to appeal to 80's nostaliga...and the current Pirate trend

 

[3dman27]

shouldn't rambo be honorably discharged and retired by now

 

[Dangerous]

There is doubt about that. I don't mean financial success necessarily either. Oh sure, it'll bring in the crowds, but if it isn't any good -- and I have yet to see a sign showing otherwise -- it will flop like a dead fish.

Rambo. That's a different story entirely. Please explain why you think it will bring in the crowds and what living in "terrorist dangerous times" has to do with anything (or explain what that even means t:

Wel since 9/11 the world is a different place.
Thats one of the reasons Spider-man did so well back in 02, its because people were wanting a superhero, someone to lift their spirits and kick some ass. Same goes for Rambo, most peeps just wanna see someone go over to the middle east and kick all the ases of the terrorists on the big screen.
You follow?

Personally I think the premise for RB is great, and I believe peeps will love to go back the the cinema and see Rocky back kicking ass.

Eh, I don't really buy into that. It's always a dangerous time. Spider-Man did well because people recognize Spider-Man, it was advertised well, and it was a big budget superhero movie.

If you're thinking Rambo will do well because he kicks ass, on the flip side, people may look at Rambo as the type of American military machine that had a hand in causing the dangerous times we live in now. Rambo isn't Spider-Man, an overtly postive do-gooder that people can always trust, he's a ruthless killing machine that only wants to win and will do ANYTHING to achieve that. Sound familiar?

By the way, I don't necessarily share the assessment above, but I can see how people will associate that.

And Rambo isn't killing terrorists. He's killing pirates. At first it was racists, then mercenaries, now pirates. And he's recruiting people to help him. How stupid is that? Rambo works alone.

no, he was never officially back in the Army, he was helping out because of the promise of american POWS in the second film.. after that, he did it to save his friend.

I believe that the aftermath of 9/11 was one of the many reasons why SM did so well at the box office. People wanted to see an american hero kick ass on the big screen simple as.

 

[Max J Power]

I'll probably see it when it comes out.

 

[zer00]

Not really. Rambo is a great character and Stallone always performed him well. First Blood is a good movie. The sequels are passable.

Yeah. You tell um what he should and should not like

 

[3dman27]

oh i always thought he'd accepted reinstatement and the subsequent military assignment in exchange for a pardon inRAMBO II

 

[Brian Braddock]

In an ideal world, Stallone would persude Arnie to make a comeback to the silver screen as either John Matrix or Dutch and be one of the mercenaries that Rambo recruits; alongside Jean Claude Van Damme as Luke Deveraux and Dolph as the guy he played in Red Scorpion.

I'd be 1st in line for that badboy.

i might check that one out myself

 

[Fried Gold]

Rambo isn't Spider-Man

LOLZ

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, It'd be dynamite, wouldnt it?


I must admit tho - try as I might, I can't decide who's better - Dutch or John Matrix?

Sure Dutch killed a Predator, but after watching Commando I can only come to the conclusion that John Matrix was superhuman. t:

 

[3dman27]

i'd say go with col.matrix

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Yeah. You tell um what he should and should not like

You're saying I should put 'IMO' in every single post?

Rambo could go to Iraq, drop cutter bombs on innocent people, try and find terrorists by bombing caves that they've never even been in, and torturing prisoners and saying he isn't, all in the name of safety for the American public. He could even convince the US public to give up their civil rights in exchange for greater 'protection'.

I'm being sarcastic, but if Stallone and co came up with something really worth saying, such as having Rambo fight a terrorist organisation which doesn't really exist in the way the US Government and the media portray it (Al Queda is a name that the Government came up with, and it's absolutely not a huge secret organisation, it's more a belief and a mindset of unconnected people around the world) then I would appaud them.

 

[bunk]

The writing team for this movie is just not blowing my skirt up I'm afraid. Then you got stallone directing...I don't see how it has a chance at being as good as the first, so whats the point really.

Weinsteins Sue Over Rambo IV Rights
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
October 16, 2006


In 2004, rights to produce Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye were transferred by the The Weinstein Company to a predecessor of film producer Nu Image, which has the action sequel in active development with Sylvester Stallone to reprise the role of Vietnam vet John Rambo.

But in a suit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the Weinsteins claim that Nu Image recently offered distribution rights to Lionsgate, even though The Weinstein Company is supposed to have first right of refusal on the franchise.

The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.

Production is tentatively scheduled for January in Thailand.

Juggernaut takes on Rambo?
Posted : [COLOR=#00e0]November 15, 2006</B>

Writer : [COLOR=#00e0]Clint Morris[/COLOR]

Is Vinnie Jones about to trade-in his soccer ball for Sly’s rocks – and give them a smashing kick?
The “X-Men: The Last Stand” star – don’t hold that against him though, I do think he’s better than that and it was probably the cabbage that enticed him to do that ***** – is said to be in talks to join the cast of the next “Rambo” movie.
The soccer star *** actor tells the Norwegian site VG Nett that he’ll begin work on “Rambo IV: In the Serpent’s Eye” before Christmas. (And yes, I did run the report through an English translator just to confirm that that was what he was telling the site).
Jones, who got his big break in the movies thanks to his mate Guy Ritchie – who cast him in “Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels” and later “Snatch”, joins a cast that includes such names (or ‘no names’) as James Brolin and Kim Dickens.
Also on Jones’s schedule for 2007 is “Carry on London”, the first in a new series of comedies based around the old Sid James’ comedies.
In “Rambo IV”, which Stallone writes, directs and stars in, Vietnam vet John Rambo is forced to emerge from his reclusive lifestyle and take justice into his own hands after his daughter gets kidnapped. As far as I know, Vinnie Jones does not play Sly’s daughter – but giving the look of the father, ya do never know.
