Rambo Last Blood coming in September

[Stash]

The guy is a living legend.

1. Accomplishments
2. Part of cinematic history. Twice! Rocky and Rambo.
3. Life,

And I still don't think enough people realize the work it actually takes to get into the shape that he has for so many of those films.

Especially since he's naturally kinda frumpy.

At 70 something....yeah it's his last blood.

 

[GMO415]

Will watch. Liked the last one that came out about 11 years ago

That was pretty damn good too

He did say he way over did it for Drago fight in Rocky 4. He looked like a block of muscle. Stonehenge-like lol

...?...Rambo still alive!?...

 

[Aikmaniac]

Looking forward to it!

 

[cowboy_ron]

Wow. He looks like he's aged about 30 years since the last time I saw him.

Sly is like the worst actor ever.

Worse than Arnold?... Too close to call.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Worse than Arnold?... Too close to call.

Yet both are two of the biggest, most successful, world renowned movie stars of all time.

lol, come to think of they are pretty similar in talent.

Kim Kardashian, Yoko Ono, and Honey Boo Boo are all successful and renowned (okay, Honey Boo Boo might be a stretch). Doesn't mean they're particularly talented. Sly wrote Rocky, which was a great movie, but his acting leaves a bit to be desired.

Don't get me wrong, I like most of their movies. But just as I love Neil Young, I also recognize that the man isn't a great vocalist.

I have a similar argument so I know where you are coming from.

But... you have to recognize that “talent” is a word that it’s meaning has changed.

If you are successful because you have people following you, spending money on you (your stuff, creations, services etc.).... then THAT in and of itself IS “Talent”. Crazy, sad, call it what you want but it’s true.

Cop Land was a great film as well.

Who cares if he's a great actor or not? The guy's a legend and most of his movies are entertaining.

Yes. They ALL took the same low base salary to make the movie happen.

It’s funny you mention this.

I always thought there were two kinds of movie “types”

1. An Actor
2. A movie star

Keanu Reeves is a movie star. Not an actor by any stretch,
Al Pacino is an actor. A great one.

Stallone is neither. He just has that “IT” factor. He’s got you buying what he’s selling in his movies. He’s got you cheering him... rooting for him... his success. It’s amazing really!

I should read the book. Heard it was drastically different than the movies.

Spoiler alert!

Spoiler

Rambo hunts down the cops; civilians, and gaurdsmen, and butchers them. Colonel Trautman was recruited to put an end to it, finally killing Rambo.

And the steroids, don't forget the steroids.

That very true, but steroids don't do the work for you either. They certainly help to get results, but the guy still worked his tail off too.
