Rambo IV knife prediction?

He doesn´t copy The Hunted. He forged the Hibben in the 3rd part also, but that scene was deleted. You can watch it on youtube.com
 
I have this cool idea. Rambo is retired and goes on a tourist trip to Nepal or something. He gets separated from the group and since he is bringing a crappy SRK it breaks and Rambo ends up unconsious because he forgot to bring decent stuff. Some monks find him and saves him and the rest of the movie he sits in the monestary making clay pots. Somewhere in the middle he walks out and sells the pots and someone sees his macho scars and he explains that he has been a soldier but that is long gone. Somewhere during the coffe break discussion someone tells that his friend /sister/ whatever has been kidnapped and is being held hostage by a north korean terror group who is residing in Northern Sweden. He then goes to Sweden to save the whatever. In the training montage that follows we see him being trained by people like Lars Fält and other "real" instructors. Before he starts his journey up to the remote part of the Swedish alps he does the "Putting on all gear Commando style" where we see him sheathing one or two Fallkniven knives, a foldacup and a swedish panzer mess kit and the obiquos attack showel. To endure the cold he uses the M39/58 wool uniform. He puts his white lightning wooden skis on and leaves into the white nowhere. Why would we send Rambo to the ice? Well, if you have ten kilos of clothes on you can not see the beerbelly or the flappy arms :)
Anyway, he solves the problem (by negotiation) and rescues the nice whoever and returns to the monastery for more pottery.
Since there actually are some buddhist temples in the middle of nowhere in Sweden (built for Thai money) there might be some use for those as well.
There are also obscure military bases and other disbanded places all over Sweden.

But, hey, you can not tell anyone else about this, it is a secret.

Or we could make Rambo IV the ultimate product placement movie. Like the Hamilton movie.
 
Unless he's packin' the Busse Nuclear Argonne Assault, I ain't interested. Well, the FBM LE might be cool too, I guess.

Cheers, Rok

... At some point you have to allow your character to grow up. Stalone's failure to do that has already resulted in the Rocky Balboa flop...

Did not know that. I guess "The Hunted" copied him then. . . .


I will say this though. The United Cutlery Rambo knives are just for show and are worthless as a field knife. But at least TOPS makes a knife from a movie that a person can actually use, The Tracker. I like to think that Rambo IV will spur some knife maker to make real usable knives from all the First Blood movies that a person can actually use. . . .

I think a guy named Gil Hibben can help you with that..but how functional are these monsters?
 
I would also love to see him use a Randall as well!!

I wonder what Mr. Stallone would choose.

Yeah, Jimmy Lile never made a useable knife. :rolleyes:
 
Here's a design outline for a good Hollywood knife:

1. Buckmaster guard, but with longer, sharper, spikes

2. End cap like those large compasses on the 1980s "survival knives" but mith a "magic 8-ball" instead of a compass.

3. Blade- What would happen if someone crossed a Gil Hibben knife with a Tracker. :D A 12" hibben/tracker-like blade with extra points sticking off.

4. For a new fantasy knife idea, have a small throwing knife in the center of the blade. It is cut out of the blade and can be removed, leaving the blade with the fantasy "skeletonized" look.

5. Additional guard with two blades pointing forward. Blades are spring-loaded and can launch. Laser sights for the shooting blades. Replicas will have to be made without the springs since this feature is illegal.

6. Squarish handle with serration-like ridges for a "better grip." Also shaped to make any grip other than the hammer grip even more uncomfortable.

7. Sheath-plastic with lots of gadgets including a mini-crossbow, mini-blowgun, retractable garrote, ipod, cell phone, and digital camera.

I typed United Cutlery, not Jimmy Lile. . . . And by knife maker, I should have clarified maybe and typed manufacturer. . . . I am not well off like you to afford a true Jimmy Lile blade. . .
 
I'd certainly like to see the Jimmy Lile First Blood or the huge second movie knife make some type of appearance in the new film. A Randall would even make me cheer.

By the looks of it, Rambo has forged his own blade(s) for this movie, which is a new spin on the whole knife thing. Sly and the movie makers know that the whole Rambo franchise revolves around the knife. Stallone, being a knife man himself has probably seen the difficulty in choosing a new knife and maker (like all of us) and has taken a new direction (making Rambo a bladesmith) to please the knife knuts, which is admirable IMO.
 
No one can esteem high enough what Stallone/Lile did for the knife scene all over the world. Whatever he chooses (seems to be an angled-tip short machete or long tanto). i still congratulate him for the guts he shows in this trailer. Hibben made "real" knives during the Vietnam war for the US-troops, not counting his commercial designs.
 
I think it's funny when people feel the need to bring up Slys use of chemicals for his body. 99.999999999999~ could not look like him at 40 with the use of the drugs, much less 60. They're not freaking magic pills or injections, more work than most people will ever realize go in to looking the way he does.

I think this movie is going to be fantastic. This summer is looking damn good, Rambo iv, Die Hard iv, Oceans 13. I can't wait. Some of my favorite movies, if they only could do another lethal weapon (and do it well that is) I'd be exstatic. Plus there's supose to 24 movie coming as well.
 
Whatever it is, he totally hacked some dude's head off with it in the trailer. Following that, he turned someone into pulp with a .50 at almost point blank range.

Personally I would have liked to see Busse forge him a two handed, 48" Fusion Battle Mistress then Rambo and Conan can team up and kill god.

First of all dude there is no way I could afford a Lile considering I am still in school and out of a job. Maybe next time you'll get it right.
