Sure you can, Stallone did it.  Like it or not, the new Rambo was actually pretty warmly received and there's certainly some evidence to suggest that one of Stallone's lines in the movie became a rallying cry for some in Myanmar, to effect change.  Like them or not, the Expendables movies entertained some.  Did they set the charts on fire?  No.  But, that's Stallone and the studios problem.  He wanted to make them, and he did.  The system works.


the new rambo was good, but he had alot less direct violence than the others. (the violence is used  way better, its more like a real war movie in alot of parts and not like a 80s action movie, and i like it) and the expendables were modern action movies.

do you realy think they could get away with something like

I would say the newer Rambo was without a doubt, far, far more bloody, than the older Rambos.  You can't even begin to argue that point.  Torture, implied rape of multiple women, murdering children...I mean, yeah it was pretty blatantly violent.  Punisher Warzone (directed by a woman, btw), was also this way.  Made the original Lundgren Punisher, look like a family flick.

Yeah, I think they could quite easily get away with it.

Again, let me emphasize, I don't just want movies like this.  I want a wide variety, just like I do in gaming, literature etc...  what I do not want, and will refuse to ever support is the idea we can just go ahead and censor what people create.  That's what reviews/previews are for.  To know whether we'll like something, then it's up to us to buy it.
