The king of the monsters takes on the king of guerrilla warfare in the most ambitious crossover to date. Yes, it’s another mashup trailer from the folks over at Funny or Die, and it’s another smashing success.
Their latest effort comes with earth shattering expectations. Two cinema giants fighting to the death on a global scale – the Kaiju who spits out blue fire as if it were chemically charged Listerine, and Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo, a super soldier equipped with every weapon imaginable.
Should be the fairest fight since Rocky and Creed shared a ring, and based on this seamless trailer, it would make for one hell of a blockbuster. Who knows, maybe one day it will? Crazier things have happened in this era of redux and reboots.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters saw the title character take on Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah, while the recent trailer for Rambo V: Last Blood sees John Rambo take on no less than the entire Mexican Cartel. And it’s that one-man-army vibe that helps this blend with grace. Truth be told, these two characters don’t have much in common, but when you put together footage of Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Kong Skull Island and all the Rambo movies, what you get is the incredible video seen above.
The other thing these franchises have in common, of course, are financial struggles, as both are seeing all-time lows at the box office. The good news is though, a video like this could be the boost both heroes needed. It’s certainly got us excited for whatever’s next.
Luckily, we only have to wait a couple short months for Rambo V: Last Blood. Along with a year before Godzilla vs. Kong. Both films will likely have epic results, but if Warner Bros. and Lionsgate want to make a real splash at the box office, they should seriously start considering making Rambo vs. Godzilla a reality. It’d be every other studio’s worst nightmare.
