Wow, that's the best scene? As if Rambo never had any scene similar to that.
NO, YOU IS DEFINITELY SUCK!
See? I can type like a moron, too.
OF COURSE HE RIPPED IT OFF BY DOING A SCENE IN THE MUD!RAMBO 2 WAS JUST A RIP OFF OF THESE MOVIES ANYWAY.REMEMBER THEY CAME OUT FIRST.
shareFirst off, Missing in Action wasn't even FILMED before Rambo: First Blood Part II! So, how could it rip off Missing in Action??
James Cameron wrote a story treatment for Rambo II in 1983. Cannon Films heard about the storyline and filmed Missing in Action 1 & 2 back-to-back so that the releases of each film would predate Rambo: First Blood Part II (hence the low budgets of each film, the quick production and the identical plots).
You can't actually be that naive to believe that James Cameron would ripoff a sh-tty Chuck Norris B-movie. When would he have been able to? Rambo II was filmed BEFORE Missing in Action!
Rambo: First Blood Part II was filmed from June 1984 - August 1984, and was in post-production for 9 months until its release in May 1985.
Whereas, Missing in Action 1 & 2 were filmed back-to-back from June 1984 - October 1984, keep in mind Missing in Action 2 was filmed FIRST because it was NOT intended to be a prequel, it was intended to be be the first MIA movie. Missing in Action was filmed AFTER Missing in Action 2 and AFTER Rambo II. But, the producers found that the "sequel" was better than the "original" so they released Missing in Action as the "original" only ONE MONTH after it was filmed (finished filming in October, then released in November 1984), and remember Rambo II was completed in August 1984, just when they started filming Missing in Action. And, its "prequel (Missing in Action 2)" was released ONLY 4 MONTHS after the "original".
What movie studio releases a sequel only FOUR MONTHS after the original??
And, what was the reason they filmed Missing in Action 1 & 2 back-to-back coinciding with the production of Rambo: First Blood Part II and subsequently released the movies 6 months and 2 months before Rambo II, respectively?? TO CASH IN BEFORE RAMBO II WAS RELEASED, SO THAT THE MISSING IN ACTION MOVIES WOULDN'T BE DUBBED AS DOLLAR-STORE RIPOFFS OF RAMBO!!
Are you even in high school?? Haven't you learned to do RESEARCH before to state your argument?? But, of course, I'm sure you will ignore this information by NOT responding to me, as you have in the past. You'll just keep telling yourself that MIA isn't a ripoff of Rambo because you're in denial. Stop being ignorant and do some f-cking research BEFORE you spout bullsh-t.
NO, YOU IS DEFINITELY SUCK!

How was that? When did I not respond to you? Man, you need to take your medicine.What are you talking about? That wasn't a response towards you, it was toward SALEMS-LOT. You weren't even on this thread at the time.
[deleted]
Well, you've accused me of ignoring on some previous debate.WHEN??? I reread my past responses to you. I've never once accused you of ignoring my previous debate. Is SALEMS-LOT your split personality on IMDb?
[deleted]
I was the one who started this hole debate, if I'm not mistaken.Maybe you did. But, you did not start THIS thread. My response about not responding to my debate was not directed towards you as you have claimed for some asinine reason. Why must I beat this dead horse?
[deleted]
ASININE is doubting a big film director would not get influenced by a not-too-successful one.You are frustrating, you know that? I never said that. I know film directors draw influence from other films. Hell, even James Cameron drew inspirations from The Outer Limits teleplays Soldier and Demon with a Glass Hand when he made The Terminator.
[deleted]
You are right...your idol's Harllan Ellison's ínfluence' was so...let's say...STRONG the sci-fi writer sued the director and James decided to $ettle it out of court.So? People sue all the time. Do you know the difference between drawing influence from other ideas to create art and completely ripping off a film's premise to score a quick buck? Have you not heard of the concept of taking old ideas and making them new again? Jaws drew inspirations from Moby Dick such as Quint (Captain Ahab) and the old archetypal story about a town being attacked by a beast, the response of the threatened town to its loss of tourist business, crops etc. and finally, the epic attempt by three men to track the beast and kill it.

shareSOMETHING I'M SURE HE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THERE FOR AWHILE,LOL.ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WORKS FOR JAMES CAMERON AND CANNON FILMS.WTF are you talking about? Maybe you should try thinking before you type.
lol, this thread is amazing!
You can't order up a satellite like ordering a pizza
THAT'S SOME HILARIOUS STUFF,NO OFFENSE.THE REASON THEY FILMED THOSE MOVIES BACK TO BACK IS BECAUSE CANNON DID THAT ALOT TO SAVE MONEY.REMEMBER THEY FILMED KING SOLOMON'S MINES AND ALLAN QUARTERMAIN & THE LOST CITY OF GOLD BACK TO BACK ALSO.
shareTHAT'S SOME HILARIOUS STUFF, NO OFFENSE.Which part of it was hilarious? The fact that I do research and present actual FACTS in my posts and not just spout out bullsh-t like you? Do you have any counter argument whatsoever, or are you going to remain in denial and believe that Missing in Action is original? Even film critics have acknowledged that Chuck Norris copies Stallone with MIA. And, the BBC even wrote an article about the Rambo ripoffs of the 80s, highlighting the Missing in Action series as the main perpetrator.
THE REASON THEY FILMED THOSE MOVIES BACK TO BACK IS BECAUSE CANNON DID THAT ALOT TO SAVE MONEY.And, also to maximize their profit margins by releasing TWO Rambo-esqe films before the actual Rambo movie. Honestly, if they filmed MIA 2 first and then MIA 1, and then release MIA 1 first (because they felt it was better), it just illustrates the producers had no faith in these movies whatsoever.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT?SERIOUSLY?YOU AND I CAN ARGUE THAT FOREVER AND WE WILL,BUT IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE,STALLONE COPIED HIM.THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE RELEASE DATES.MISSING IN ACTION 11/16/84,MISSING IN ACTION 2:THE BEGINNING 3/1/85,AND RAMBO II 5/22/85.DO THE MATH.IF BOTH FILMS WERE FILMED BACK TO BACK,AND ONE WAS RELEASED IN NOVEMBER OF 1984 AND THE OTHER IN MARCH OF 1985,THEN BOTH OF THE FILMS HAD TO START BEING FILMED IN 1983,OR EARLY 1984.AND TO TOP IT OFF JAMES CAMERON WROTE A SCREENPLAY IN 1984 CALLED FIRST BLOOD II:THE MISSION.SO IF HE WROTE THAT IN 1984 AND THEN STALLONE CHANGED THE ENTIRE THING,HOW COULD IT BE FILMED BEFORE BOTH MISSING IN ACTIONS?
shareTHE BOTTOM LINE IS THE RELEASE DATESThe bottom line is NOT the release date, you f-cking retard!
WOW YOU REALLY ARE A RETARD?DOES YOUR MOTHER STILL DO YOUR LAUNDRY,MAKE YOUR BED,COOK YOUR MEALS?
shareWOW YOU REALLY ARE A RETARD?DOES YOUR MOTHER STILL DO YOUR LAUNDRY,MAKE YOUR BED,COOK YOUR MEALS?Wow, it took you OVER A MONTH to come up with THAT?? Why is it that it always takes you WEEKS to reply to one of my posts? Does the truth hurt so much? Is it because your mommy gives you a time limit on the computer? . Yea, due to my capacity to think rationally, I'm not a basement dweller like you. I have my own apartment. A few other questions: Why do you always type in all CAPS? Why is there never a space between your sentences? Did you fail English / computer class?
WOW YOU REALLY ARE A RETARD?Really? What part of my post (minus the deserved insults at your expense) DOESN'T sound like it was well thought out, valid, researched, logical or rational? Why is it that when you reply to me that you NEVER address ANY of my valid points? I guess I'll have to wait another month for an answer. See ya in March!!
I GUESS IT'S JUST THAT UNLIKE YOU I DON'T LIVE MY ENTIRE LIFE IN HERE.SOME PEOPLE WORK FOR A LIVING,OTHERS APPARENTLY LIKE YOU COLLECT AN S.S.I. CHECK ONCE A MONTH.
