Here’s the new poster for John Rambo. They wisely chose to shoot Stallone from the back, because the front is where the wrinkles go.
But aside from that, see anything familiar?
UPDATE: Commenter BDarbs writes, "Did everyone miss the obvious resemblance to the Scarface poster? "Get it? He’s got two sides to him!!! A light one and a dark one!!! It’s all right there in the poster if you look hard enough! Are you getting it yet?" Indeed.

no, nothing Lance, c’mon gimme a hint at least
Yea, but that is SO obviously a waterfall in a remote jungle.
Hey, they may say it’s a rip off, but it takes two to tango. It’s not like everyone isn’t going to cash in regardless.
The Mighty Fek’lhr insists that Rambo returns Jason Voorhies’ machete!
why Fek? has Jason even been using it lately?
Rambos Back baby!
whoa whoa whoa. How the hell did my avatar change back? This here profile must be haunted. By the ghosts of his past suckiness.
Well they couldn’t take it from the side as it would show his old man paunch.
Add that to his hideous face means the front on is out… pretty much all you got is the back.
Nom: Did you watch that last night? I did. It was pretty entertaining and I loved Terry Hatcher’s rockin 1989 fashions (but her face still looked like C3PO’s even back then).
I mean GRRR Action Movies!
GRRRR Grrrrrr!
Hey folks. Back from lunch and –damn, I missed 3 posts?! What the hell’s going on here? Lance, you’ve been busy today!
I never knew Rambo was a Frank Miller design. To think I was gonna skip this one.
Yea sure, rambo was originally a
comic bookgraphic novel. That explains the big jaws and the characters with over-the-top (pun intended) stereotypical facial features. And a guy with a beret!umm. so there’s this article about Sly using a 30 year old body double this time around at dailymail.co.uk they state the plot as:
In the new movie Rambo finds himself recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid delivery to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.
errr. what?
Geez, I want this to be good but I don’t want to make assumptions right now. you might say that I have a case of judge dread.
They may leave it open for even more Rambo’s… you know, with a Cliffhanger???
weak, i know
Bryce: Watch what you cheeky bastard?
VH: Nice new avatar. Well done. Is that Mitchell?
I just hope this doesn’t end with a cliffhanger
Tiriva Question:
In what movie in 1978 did Sly play Johnny Kovack????
Hah HAh. Mitchell! I miss MST3K.
See how fast I responded? I’m as fast as a Cobra.
SHIT!
Party at Kitty and Stud’s?
Johnny Kovack was like the best character ever!
Mitchell, put your shoes on, we’re at grandmas
Check out the performance by Kevin Conway in that one.
DAMN!!!! look at that boys traps! i’d soooooooo spot him at the gym any day…
…but seriously, the whole "black and white" thing has already been done. get this, i found some old-ass photogrpahs from my grandparents, and guess what: B & W baby.
oh man i just went down to oxx (its the mexican 7-11) some drug dealer just got his ass all shot up outside then this Judicial (mexican badass cop) tries to go out there and stop the crazyness, but he slipped on a banana peal and fell down right outside the door, meanwhile theres a shootout outside, then this old lady runs out form the back screaming "Don’t worry mijo, I help you!" and then she charged the drug-dealers and this judicial was all Stop or my mom will shoot!
Damn, that was an awful lot of build-up for that punchline. But I sure as hell wasn’t going to try to use that one.
Yea, you have to be really driven to post something like that!
The Federation of InterState Truckers stopped by my office today. Their leader Oscar was talking about their annual Death Race 2000 and showed us the nice Rhinestone crown you win through a Victory!
love me some imdb
Yes, BS is right. Stop or my Mom will Shoot is its own punchline. A punchline that I saw in the theater. Much like PoopShoot Pounders, thanks to Jacktion!.
Okay Koru, that was a little over the top.
Give the guy a break. It’s not like he wrote a shitty sequel to a movie that defined a generation. Ok, it’s not like he did it twice. Well OK, three times.
New avatar time!
Damn, Koru, you nailed that one. You know a lot about Stallone, almost like you’re a Specialist.
yeah, I know.
what’s my punishment?
Nom: Tango & Cash. I actually watched it last night. Oddly enough.
Be careful about stepping on peoples’ toes, Koru. You might get Assassinsated.
I think Tango & Cash is like a metaphor for Jack! and I‘s relationship. Oh, dibs on whichever one was played by Sly.
you forgot about Cop Land.
That would be Tango.
"We’re about to get F.U.B.A.R."
IT WAS A PUN WAR!!!
My favorite ride at Cop Land is the Field Sobriety Test.
Or the "patrollercoaster", where you wear a black mask and you get hit by flying night sticks.
I wish I was clever like Luchador.
My last trip to cop land was great. I was wearing my Mr Conductor hat, and my beard connected to my sideburns, and I had no mustache. The jailer asked if I was amish. I said "no, but I am raising my son to be amish…….{continue with david cross joke}" It was great. And I didn’t even have to tell him it wasn’t my joke, cuz fuck him.
Me too sharon, me too…..
man, Stallone is churnin out rehashes left and right all of a sudden. is he having cashflow problems. times must be awful Rocky
nah, i’m not feeling it either
If you can do one with Lords of Flatbush, you get a gold star.
Strangely I also caught the last 5 minutes of the Get Carter remake where he kills Michael Cain.
SPOILER!
He kills M Cain.
SPOILER ENDS.
He should do a remake of F.I.S.T. but kill himself at the end of it.
Or fist himself at the end. The ironic redundancy might actually kill him too. You know, as a bonus.
the puns are gettin outta hand, i have to ask you Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot!
That wasn’t a question Mr Invisible, it was a command. Go back to elementary school.
I hate to jump into this post late but I just couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t say
MURDER DEATH KILL
once.
Guys, Guys! They’re completely different!
Rambos not all fleshy coloured where you can see flesh, and uh…..he’s not bruce willis?
Did everyone miss the obvious resemblance to the Scarface poster?
"Get it? He’s got two sides to him!!! A light one and a dark one!!! It’s all right there in the poster if you look hard enough! Are you getting it yet?"
