So... a Viet Nam movie? Fascinating. Didn't think I would ever see any more of those being made.
The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
CinemaSins voice: "We got Viet Nam, you all."
It's interesting to note that Viet Nam was never mentioned once in the article, which was a core part of Rambo's origin story, how he was treated like dog shit by random civilians after he got home. It would kind of scuttle the character's driving motivation, as Gulf War vets (or even veterans of the very brief Grenada and Panama engagements from the 80's) were never treated with such scorn as the 'Nam vets were.
Films like The Punisher (2004, with Thomas Jane) removed the Viet Nam angle entirely to fit with modern timeline standards and made him an undercover FBI agent instead. Frank Kastle was originally a Viet Nam vet when the character first debuted in 1974.

Written by the two men responsible for the script to "Black Adam". That fills me with confidence.
They'll give you a script you won't believe...
That's the same movie
Is it? It's been quite a while seen I've seen it!Pretty cleverly done, IMO.
My 4 year old has been on a Zorro kick, so I've seen that movie A LOT lately.
Well, that would help, I guess. I just knew it was in one of them, but I couldn't remember if Anthony Hopkins had been in a standalone story. It was a fun way to pass the torch to Banderas.
Probably being an unpopular war, conscription and it being a loss for the U.S are probably major factors but then by the 80s we were seeing there seem to be change with tv and film characters who had served.
Either everyone is going to have to take a pay cut, or the movie will show them getting into their cars, then cutting to later in the day when they get out of their cars and they spend the next 20 minutes talking about what the audience didn't get to see.
I'm forever disinterested. And I see nobody has the guts to make even a single sequel to RONIN, or even BULLITT. They're evidently not family-oriented enough.
To be fair, on the Bullitt sequel- who is ballsy enough to want to fill Steve McQueen’s shoes?
Bradley Cooper. He's working on a sequel to Bullitt.
Oh I think I did read that some time ago. I like Cooper but good luck with that.
Daniel Craig, Jason Statham (like Mikey, he tries anything), Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah, Amy Poehler, Rebel Wilson....
That worked for the old boring Superman radio program. Not kidding you. Heard two episodes where the boring villains talk and talk, inter-spaced with quick bits of Clark, then then when Superman makes a fleeting appearance, the announcer says he took care of the bad guys with his super powers and we don't hear it or anything else, and then it's over as fast as it began. Replete with awful organ noodling for music (super embarrassing consider a number of radio programs at the time had orchestral original music and orchestral library music).
