Would be horrible. who u casting?

Not thinking about casting, thinking about writing and direction. As much as I love Tango and Cash, it had so so so many issues behind the scenes that clearly showed up in the final product. Tonally its all off, not all of the jokes hit, the logic in the story doesn't stand up once you examine it with any sort of brain power, and clearly Stallone's ego got in the way. It's a great story idea that could've been a lot better with less ego and a steady hand behind the camera and a focused script

Again, I'm not saying they were bad. I'm saying the film itself is flawed as hell. I love it to death, will watch it any day of the week, but objectively, it's got a lot of issues lol. A remake in theory could cure those issues and its issues start with the script. As much as I love Sly, this was in the middle of his Diva phase and he screwed that movie. It works because of their chemistry so if you got a better script, less ego, and a director with the full backing of the studio without his lead actor breathing down his neck, all you need at that point is two actors who have great chemistry together. Easier said than done but not impossible

Hollywood needs to come to the realization there are some movies you cannot remake...

Rambo is one of them because there is no John Rambo without Sly...

Ya'll really expect Hollywood to give a fukk about telling the story right or even bringing something new to the franchise? They gonna cash in on nostalgia like they always do with these lame ass remakes, get ya'll hopes up just to get them tickets sold and seats filled.

Exactly, you know they're going to fukk up the story trying to make it deeper than what it is...

The plot of First Blood is a Vietnam vet going a killing rampage because the sheriff denied him a sandwich...

Wasn't the first movie deeper than the novel?
As long as they don't try to make it an action movie and focus on ptsd they should be okay.
