chuckwoww Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Rambo is preparing to return from retirement in Thailand early next year, and Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington will also come here next month to play a drug lord in the upcoming film American Gangster, a Thai film official said. Sylvester Stallone will spend several weeks in Thailand early next year, shooting Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye in the country's lush, mountainous northern provinces, said Wanasiri Morakul, director of the Thailand Film Office. In the latest sequel, John Rambo is pulled out of retirement in Bangkok to help find missionary aid workers who disappear as they're delivering supplies to ethnic minorities in neighbouring Myanmar. About 70 to 80 per cent of the movie will be shot in Thailand - in Bangkok and the northern provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai - earning Thailand more than 200 million baht ($6.58 million), Wanasiri told The Associated Press by telephone. She said that after a committee read the Rambo script, they gave the green light for the shoot in Thailand, but voiced concern that violence in the movie could reflect badly on ethnic minorities on the Thai-Myanmar border. "Some scenes might be a little bit violent, so we asked them not to make it too violent because if we say that the ethnic minorities are violent, it might be inappropriate," she said. "We did not forbid them - we just asked them to be careful." She also wanted the filmmakers to assure villagers and environmentalists that any bombing scenes - "in that 'Rambo' style" - would not harm the environment. Activists were up in arms over the The Beach, shot in 2000 and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, complaining a beach in a Thai national park was damaged during the shooting. The filmmakers denied it. Washington will come to Thailand Nov. 8-13 to play Harlem heroin kingpin Frank Lucas in American Gangster, about drugs smuggled to New York in the 1970s inside the coffins of American soldiers killed in the Vietnam War. Only about 5 per cent of the movie will be shot in Thailand - in the capital Bangkok and in the mountainous north - employing about 250 Thais and bringing the country at least 60 million baht, Wanasiri said. http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/rambo-returns/2006/10/26/1161749253806.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 But not as much as in a Chuck Norris SE Asian film. p.s. At least Norris served in the USAF. He promised his mama he'd join only the USAF, after his brother was killed in VN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He promised his mama he'd join only the USAF, after his brother was killed in VN. Norris was out of the Airfarce in 1962? his brother was killed in 1970. He dedicated his Missing in action movies to him, and to all the vets who didn't come home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris I respect Chuck Norris as a Martial artist, and as a vetern, unlike that draft dodging scumbag 1/2 a fag Stallone who was too much of a pussy to go and join up, even the fucking coast guard or some branch, then has the nerve to play "Rambo" and make a mockery of Vietnam vets... Fuck him! did I ever mention I really truely hate him? and will boycott all his movies... on just that principle...he is the male version of Jane Fonda, who at least later admitted she was wrong "...in some of her actions..." Hell, at least Hanoi Jane had the balls to go to Vietnam, all sylvethter did was prance off to sweden, make porn flicks and teach women's soccer...fucking asshole!
