Rambo vs. Indy?

Comments: 4

by: Dave Davis Feb. 23, 2007

I'm starting to feel like an unofficial spokesman for all things RAMBO-related lately, but here's another interesting information bite for you -- not quite enough to make a billy goat puke, but moderately filling nonetheless.

The newest rumor regarding the return of Rambo is that he'll be rescuing innocents and ravaging foes in an increasingly crowded month -- May 2008. This pits the sweat-slicked Stallone against another hero's cuatro quest, INDIANA JONES 4, in addition to IRON MAN, SPEED RACER, PRINCE CASPIAN, and the just announced remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL.

Stallone made a fairly successful jump back toward the top with ROCKY BALBOA, and obviously hopes more familiarity doesn't breed contempt with a return to his famed ex-Green Beret. The flick is currently casting to fill out the secondary players and fodder, with shooting set to begin in Thailand soon.

Extra Tidbit: In the animated RAMBO TV series from the 1980s, the character fronted a team called The Force of Freedom in a global battle against the evil organization S.A.V.A.G.E., led by General Warhawk. Ah, the eighties.

bad idea

Part III tanked when it was released on May 25th. Why would they try MAy again? If it didn't work during the height of this characters popularity, why would it work now?

Ahh Rambo...

well at least now you can pinpoint the one that'll be the flop.

Can't be true

To put this movie up against those would be a massive mistake. Someone needs to think about this a bit more. I'm a Stallone fan, but this would be last on my list of the other films you mentioned coming out that month.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL? Remake??!

I've been talking about this for quite some time now.

Imagine a whole day without using [link] phones...TV...oh, how delicious. That would really be the ultimate horror movie for a lot of people...because if it happened, America would DIE.

Speaking of death, it would make sense that if they kept Klaatu with the same morals and ideals, he wouldn't have the hospitals, airplanes (still in the air), submarines (still way underwater), etc. in any jeopardy - he wasn't interested in people being killed, only making a whole day to display the power his kind wielded.

If done right, this would be one positively awesome and profound movie...if not...I'll be upset.
