The fourth installment of the Rambo series of movies will be filmed in Thailand and it will feature no real guns or bombs. Thai officials have told the filmmakers to avoid too much violence. I can't wait to see Rambo ask the bad guys politely to release their hostages and send them a thank you note afterward. This should be an exciting blockbuster movie event.

We all know what most 60 year old men go to Thailand for, so I , for one, will be watching this one;)

Jeez, and what's next? A fraternity-based movie that cuts down on the partying and alcohol? Are we going to start telling movie producers, "Now go ahead and keep making comedies, but don't go trying to be funny." let's make another "Fast and the Furious" remake, but tell the drivers to observe speed limits and don't try any dangerous driving. We'll have to do another Longest Yard remake, only without all that football.

Excuse me while I go become ill.

can't a film crew just follow Rambo around as he topples Myanmar's military junta single handed?

Then why make it? A Rambo movie without explosions and shooting is basically a romantic comedy. :p

It's like porn with no real women :eek:

Considering Stallone is in his 60's now it shouldn't be too hard to avoid extreme violence. It'll probably just be a movie about Rambo having to fight through massive bureaucracy to receive his veteran's benefits. Lots of awesome paper-work montages culminating in a sweet petition scene at the end. Hawt.

Did Stallone just recently have to foot the bill for someone's lottery winnings or something? Why's he suddenly making sequels of his most popular movie series, Rocky and Rambo?

Rambo fights to get his Medicare!

It's like porn with no real women :eek:

What do you mean, there are fake women now?! :eek:

BANGKOK, Oct 31 (Reuters Life!) - Thailand's film chiefs have told the makers of the next Rambo sequel due to start filming in the southeast nation early next year to avoid excessive violence for fear of corrupting youth or damaging the environment.



Excessive violence? Well there's another country that is ignorant. Violence doesn't corrupt kids. It makes sense about them not wanting to damage the environment though.

"We have told them that no real guns or bombs are allowed in the national park where they will be filming. Thailand has a law banning that and they've told us they will just imitate it," she told Reuters.LOL Since when did movies use real guns anyway? After all, it's not like they just go and kill all those extras for realism's sake. And bombs? FX ftw. I'm sure actors already aren't too apt to sign up for movies where real bombs explode 10 feet away from them as is often depicted.

"We have warned them that any violence has to be reasonable because we care about young people," said Wanasiri Morakul, a director at the Thailand Film Office.
*scoffs*

The movie makers'll almost certainly just add the good stuff later, back at the studio. It probably won't take much actual footage to "seed" many more computer-generated jungle scenes...complete with bullets, bombs, and bodies!

You know how much they care about those children in Thailand. Fucking hipocritical bastards.

What's even more ironic is the fighting movies that come out of Thailand. They are some of the most violent out there.
Check out Tony Jaa's offerings (Tom Yum Goong and Ong Bak). He wipes out half of Thailand (and Sydney) in those two.

Fucking awesome movies too, btw. The fight scenes are some of the best I've ever seen - and definitely the best that's come out in the last few years. Jaa's got the potential to be the next Bruce Lee. (and that be no exaggeration)

I take it you're referring to their child sex industry. The industry, which, incidentally, foreigners (not Thais) help keep alive and healthy.

Yet the government tolerates it completely.

I couldn't disagree more. Jaa has good martial arts skills, but he hasn't shown himself to be anywhere near as philosophical as Lee was - not to mention the fact that he has yet to create a movie that's actually good, as opposed to just kickfodder for those who enjoy seeing others get the shit beat out of them. His movies' storylines leave MUCH to be desired, and his acting is halfassed, at best.

Bruce Lee, he is not.

So this is going to be the Conan the Destroyer of the Rambo series.

I think Thailand and I know Cambodia have begun to crack down on child prostitution. They don't want their kids raped any more than any other people do.

Keyword BEGUN.

Do you know how fucking long this has been going on, and on what grand a scale? Too fucking long, for too fucking grand.

Far as I'm concerned the governments can go fuck themselves for waiting this long. Too little, too late.

lady boys.

i think one can be shot for it there.

No need to shoot somebody unless you are getting shot at yourself.

Give poison fruitcakes to the enemy! :eek:

The fruitcakes of doom!

Why don't they just film it somewhere else then?

The film company arn't gunna listen to the Thai government and the Thai governement arn't going to do anything about it, they want the money the film company will pay.

Well the only thing they probably wont do is use real bombs.

??? they were filming with REAL GUNS and BOMBS before? :eek:

Kidneys? :P

Don't they use real guns loaded with blanks in movies?

don't think so. after some accidents (and one death that I know of) involving blank bullets...

and as for the bombs?

They use explosives in special effects for war movies and junk.

let's make another "Fast and the Furious" remake, but tell the drivers to observe speed limits and don't try any dangerous driving.


That would likely improve those attrocious movies.

It's usually easier and more realistic to just blow something up than pay someone to animate the explosion and all the little shrapnel stuff.

explosives are not always bombs.

explosives are always bombs.

That was my point. Movies use real bombs.

let's make another "Fast and the Furious" remake, but tell the drivers to observe speed limits and don't try any dangerous driving. watch "Against all Odds"

they do just that. have a race without speeding and no really dangerious driving.

That was my point. Movies use real bombs.sorry, left out the NOT.

Explosions are NOT always bombs.

sorry, left out the NOT.

Explosions are NOT always bombs.OK.

Actually, the original Rambo (First Blood; great f'n movie, unlike the sequels) built an entire town in Canada (I wanna say in BC) for the express purpose of blowing it up. Granted, that was 25-30 years ago. Could be the source of the Thai governments apprehension, however...

ahh... but they blew up the town with controlled explosions... not real bombs.

Controlled explosions, certainly, although I would argue that those are indeed 'bombs'. Even the Thai government can't think that we're going to be sending B-2's over there just for Rambo? Would be cool, however...

**Rambo has a flashback to being tortured in Nam. Flying the B-2 over Thailand, he sees a Thai village and thinks, "Meh, close enough". Lets loose with a lethal barrage.**

For Rambo V, Stallone should head back to Afghanistan and sort out all the problems he helped create fighting with his "freedom loving resistance fighters" from Rambo III.

Yah, that's right. I blame Stallone for the mess in Afghanistan.
Ya gotta a problem with that?

watch "Against all Odds"

Sounds like a horrible movie.

*shrugs* it's a love story... wadda expect...


but the chase scene was well done.
