In Germany the first parts of this series are called “Rambo”, “Rambo II – Der Autrag”, “Rambo III”. Thus the foruth part got the US working title “John Rambo” to distinct it from the first part. I have to confess, I like it better because it resembles the title of the last Rocky movie, “Rocky Balboa”.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I went to the theatre. Unfortunately, JR is cut in Germany (~1 minute) but I wanted to see a Rambo movie in the theatres. And you got what you paid for: A very monosyllabic Rambo and a fight in which those survive which are allowed to survive by John.<\/p>\n
Regarding cuts: The archive footage at the beginning is seen. When children are shot, men get limbs hacked off, women are raped: all that can you see. But when Rambo kills the bad guys then every gore is cut out, for whatever reason. Don’t ask me why I couldn’t tell you if my life would depend on it.<\/p>\n
If you watch the above trailer you see everything you won’t see in a german theatre.<\/p>\n
Additionally I missed the scene where the priest and Rambo prayed.<\/p>\n
It was intended to let Rambo tell us his view on the world but Stallone decided to cut it out because Rambo is more the quiet guy:<\/p>\n
“Old men start wars. Young men fight them. And everyone in the middle gets killed. War is natural. Peace is an accident. We’re animals.”<\/p>\n
My opinion: JR is a movie in the tradition of the Rambo movies and I will buy it uncut in RC1-country.<\/p>\n
PS: Ironically the female lead is Julie Benz who plays the vampire Darla in the series “Angel” I’m currently watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
