ULTRA-gory first footage of JOHN RAMBO hit online

Ain't It Cool News has over three minutes of footage - the first footage released anywhere - from John Rambo. Three things to keep in mind:
1. The plot of this movie centers on Christian missionaries.

2. The footage (in Quicktime format) will only be up for about two days or so. If you want to watch it, do so now.

3. This is EXTREMELY violent! In fact I think it's safe to say that there is more bloodshed in this one 3-minute clip from John Rambo than there was in the previous Rambo movies... all put together! Not kidding folks: if you want to watch this, be prepared for some unholy nasty things to enter your gray matter through your forward peepers.

Violent as it is though, it does seem like it's going to be a good entry in the Rambo series. I'd had doubts for the last several months about whether this was going to work or not. Now, I'm more optimistic. Looks almost like it's a throwback to how the character originally was in First Blood, and that's a good thing.

  1. Useless trivia:

    Kirk Douglas was originally slated to play Col. Trautman in FIRST BLOOD, but walked because the film wasn't going to end like the book (Rambo dies at the end).

    I am more nervous about this sequel than I was ROCKY BALBOA (which turned out to be fabulous). We'll see what happens; the jury is still out. Not sure how I feel about the gore-factor, either.

    Me thinks I am getting old...
