Rambo's ability to punch a man's head off is unequalled
When you're pushed, killing's as easy as sneezing
When you're pushed, killing's as easy as beefing
I particularly enjoyed people's tendency to explode when shot.
When you're pushed, milling's as easy as breathing
When you're pushed, killing's a sea syas breathing
When you're bushed, filling's as easy as cheesewhizz
When you're flushed, a shilling's as easy as breathing
this is definitely Rambo 2. I wanted to see a Rambo 3 remake.. that was the best re-write of history ever.
That looks chillingly familar.
But yeah, cast your Oscar ballots now.
i havent watched the clip yet
so is rambo now fighting the afgani mujahadeen he trained and assisted in rambo 3?
this looks like it could be the best movie ever made hahahahahah
possibly th quickest youtube to gif transfer I've ever known

Just watched the trailer. I actually looks ok-ish
Rocky Balboa
John Rambo
What's next, Johnny Tango & Christopher Cash?
and does he punch a dudes head cleean off?
I'm sure he uses a knife
I just can't look at Stallones face anymore.
He looks like an animatronic version of himself.
That was possibly the most satisfying movie trailer ever made.
Really? Damn. Stupid library.
I almost don't need to see the film now... surely it can't get much better than the bits in the trailer?
it can get longer.
rambo better not die in this one. what happened in rocky balboa, did he die/lose/take human growth hormones?
What's next, Johnny Tango & Christopher Cash?
that would be awesome. but i hope his next film is 'Marion Cobretti'.
he's back and he's, pissed-off!!!
yes, but he's reluctant now. obviously affected by afghanistan. he's mellowed. the fire doesn't burn so fiercely. he's soul searching. he's lost his identity. he needs to refind JOHN RAMBO!

lolololololololol
First Blood is on TV1 right now. fuck yeah.
The trailer looks so bad its funny.
did he punch that guys head clean off?
you gotta show some respect to a man who can do that.
rambo is like bruce springsteen basically
He Bowie-knifed that guy's head clean off.
I'm betting that he will tear a Burmese soldier apart with his bare hands and then punch the disembodied limbs into a pulp and then drink the pulp and then shit the pulp out and shoot the shit with a flaming arrow.
Like Itchy & Scratchy.
i hope there are more helicopter tank fights
review of Rambo in the age.....sounds entertaining
Rambo reeks of depraved violence
Los Angeles
January 28, 2008
Sylvester Stallone insisted he would only do another Rambo flick if it was about the human condition.
He stuck to his guns. Chapter 4, simply titled Rambo, is about the condition of humans - after they've been blown apart by bombs, land mines and projectiles fired from the biggest, loudest firearms you may ever encounter on screen.
A box-office and critical joke for years with a string of absurd movies, Stallone regained a lot of good will with fans on 2006's Rocky Balboa, a resurrection of his most-famous character that proved an unlikely commercial success and also earned the respect of many reviewers.
Rocky Balboa got back to the core of the lovable goof known as the Italian Stallion, evoking a lot of the charm of the original Rocky and rinsing out some of the bad taste left by the increasingly caricatured sequels.
Co-written and directed by Stallone, Rambo is sickening, almost degenerate, in its savagery. Any hope that it might redeem the franchise the way Rocky Balboa did vanishes about the time a Burmese soldier bayonets the belly of a child during one of the movie's early sequences of utter carnage.
First Blood, which introduced Stallone's Vietnam vet John Rambo, was silly in its relentless one-man-army action. But that 1982 flick at least brushed up against relevant questions about how a nation welcomes back the killing machines it creates to do its dirty work without figuring out some way to flip the off switch.
There never has been much story to the Rambo movies, whose last installment came in 1988. The latest Rambo has a thin setup - Stallone's stoic soldier living out his life as a boatman and snake-catcher in Thailand when he's approached by American missionaries (Julie Benz and Paul Schulze among them) to ferry the group upriver to help villagers endangered by civil war in Burma.
Rambo reluctantly agrees, then later finds himself joining a team of mercenaries hired by the congregation back home to find out what happened to the missionaries after the village they'd been working in is exterminated by the army.
He didn't ask for it, he didn't want it (and neither did we), but Rambo once again becomes an upstoppable demon of death as he tears through the jungle slaughtering bad guys with bow and arrow, his bare hands in one particularly bloody moment, and a gun that could bring down a T-Rex.
The body count is phenomenal, and Stallone's effects team at least deserves credit for the twisted skill with which they create new and gruesome ways to show bodies being atomised amid the explosions and gunfire.
It's a true one-note performance for Stallone, whose Rambo is chided by one of the mercenaries for his ''thousand-yard stare.'' But that thousand-yard stare is all Stallone musters as he mumbles his way through such fortune-cookie justifications for wholesale violence as ''When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing'' and ''Live for nothing or die for something.''
At least the movie is short, and in the few quiet moments, sparks of personality emerge from Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish, singer Jake La Botz and others playing the mercenaries who hitch their wagon to Rambo.
The movie might satisfy bloodthirsty action fans, but for most people, this is one Stallone do-over we could have done without.

So I saw this at the drive-in tonight. It was fucking ridiculous (not that I expected any less) and violent and at first tried really hard to be serious. Also, Sylvester Stallone kills possibly hundreds of people it. Some of them in very inventive and unexpected ways. I think I I found entertaining enough.*
This all said, I don't think I'd recommend paying to see it.
Another Rambo!!
Eh, the thing that bugs me is that as the Rambo films go on, they get less and less political.
That's what I liked about the Rambo films in the first place.
Well, that and the awesome head kicking knife stabbing exploding arrow body count obviously.
Political as in ''At a dinner party, never talk about religion or Rambo'' ?
Pretty much. I mean, watch Rambo:First Blood. Quite a statement about vets getting treated like shit and the national guard being fucking retarded and hick cops being fucked.
hmm feel like the song now
get this in ya
btw read the book. it kicks arse.
