RAMBO IS INDIA’S KEVIN COSTNER
04.01.09
My favorite thing about foreign films’ depictions of the U.S. is the way they randomly lump a bunch of American things together for the sake of brevity (RoboCop and fried chicken, for example). In the Bollywood film KAMBAKHT ISHQ, the Indian lead plays Sly Stallone’s stunt double, trying to win the love of a supermodel (of course). The trailer opens with the real Sylvester Stallone, apparently playing himself, thanking the stuntguy during a Kodak Theatre awards speech. Only Stallone says, “Good evening. My name is John Rambo,” and then proceeds to show a clip from Waterworld. Think about that. That’s like Fred Thompson coming out and announcing, “Hello, America. My name is John McCain, and I love hamburgers.” *crowd goes wild*
Not only is it a strange and awesome combo, I’m suprised Asian people can hear the words “My name is John Rambo” and not immediately flee before he strangles everyone.

In North Korean movies, all Americans are played by delicious puppies.
This looks like Zoolander meets really bad food.
“I just exploded your Daewoo Llanos motherfucker!”
By the way, I’m not very comfortable with the name of the production company.
NIIG? Not cool, bro. Not cool.
BTK, Burnsy, if we’re the only duderanch’s in here, im taking my dick out. Cool beans?
Subtlety is apparently not a word in India.
This is kind of like War of the Roses, only sexier.
Yo. Unrelated to Slydog Millionaire….Aintitcool has reported that a DVD quality workprint of Wolverine was leaked on line. I found the link to one thinking it was an April Fools joke but it was on a reputable(For a Piracy Site)piracy site. Its like a rough cut of the movie. SFX undone….http://www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/x-men_origins_wolverine.
Check the article on Aintitcool.com if you don’t believe me.
April Fools day is to movie bloggers as a peanut buttered taint is to Yorkshire Terriers.
In Iranian films, Michael Moore is introduced as George W. Bush and he feeds on live cattle.
I’m giving you a pass on posting an AICN link in my comments section this once, but please don’t make a habit of it.

Sorry Mr. Thumb. Figured it was big enough news to report. They say its the like the biggest movie leak in history or some shit. Okay. Reporter hat off. Joke hat on.
Fair enough. But there’s a reason the button is called “comment” and not “report news”.
Demolition Man is Romania’s Bob the Builder.
I hear Judge Dredd is North Korea’s Judge Judy.
Not comfortable with the production company’s name? How about their logo? Did they find a rejected one for NAMBLA or something?
I’d like to see their take on Vin Diesel and a petting zoo.
KAMBAKHT ISHQ is America’s funniest home videos.
Yeah? Well I heard that Rocky is Soviet Russia’s Bullwhinkle.
The word in the upper left of the screencap up there gave me an awesome idea.
July, 2011: Sylvester Stallone plays matchmaker as only he knows how. Armed with his trusty bow and arrow, this god of love is out hunting lonely hearts. But, when a U.S. Army Colonel goes rogue and threatens to release a chemical that neutralizes endorphins, it’s this Cupid’s job to stop him. Don’t miss EROS! Rated R.
