I’m not backwards in coming forward to call a spade a spade when it comes to sequels to 15 year old dead-in-the-water franchises or remakes of movies that only came out on rental while I was starting high school. Lets face it, nine out of ten of them are forgettable at best, cinematic rape at worst. However, every once and a while, a project of this nature come along which, in spite of my hate-campaign, piques my interest.
John Rambo is one of those movies. The initial teaser trailer promised a gore-hungry balls-to-the-wall stupid but entertaining action movie harkening back to the days of Commando and First Blood: Part II. Come on, tell me the guy exploding when Rambo pumps him full of anti-aircraft cannon didn’t get you pysched? OK, maybe it was just me.
Well the new trailer released on the net is even more blood-thirsty and steal my kilt and call me Elvis if John Rambo isn’t looking like it’s headed for the NC-17 cut to R and re-released as an Unrated DVD path. I’d rather they had the balls to release it as is, but I really doubt it.
I don’t think I’ve seen an action movie this graphic in, well, ever. Will this help or hinder it? Who knows but you can check it out below. You’ve still a bit of a wait to find out for the final product as John Rambo doesn’t bring his one-man army to screens until December.
