"Rampage" Jackson Would Like to Thank the Academy...
We've said it before, but it bears repeating: "Rampage" Jackson will be back. If this clip from his performance in "Death Warrior" is any indicator -- and how could it not be? -- the dude just doesn't have the acting chops to build a real future in the film business. If we're being honest, he doesn't have the chops to hang in a community college production of "A Raisin in the Sun." There's a reason fighting and acting are two fields that generally do not compete for the same talent, and Jackson is a good example of why.
Maybe he's gotten some formal instruction since then and his "A-Team" performance will be much more polished, prompting a torrent of serious movie offers followed by a really awkward red carpet interview at Cannes that later leads to sexual assault charges. It's possible. Then again, it's also possible that Alexsander Emelianenko will be named executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, but we aren't holding our breath.

I just kept expecting someone to yell "CUT!!!"................They are gonna try that scene again right???
steampunk22 Says:
I guess this rules out that remake of "Driving Miss Daisy" I was hoping for.
yungfo Says:
Rampage is a fucking idiot. Ive seen better acting in my kids second grade production of the Nutcracker.
osiris431 Says:
it's actually kind of fitting that the strike that hurt rampage in this video is a leg kick lol
Bob Reilly Says:
I wouldn't totally blame Rampage for the shittyness of this clip. It didn't look like a good script to begin with. Rampage was kicking that fag's ass and he didn't even leave a mark. Nobody can survive being spun around on a man's shoulders!
petro Says:
That was God awful.
pootytang Says:
You mean to tell me that was acting? Way to ruin my day, CP!
Seriously though, I wish someone would really snap Rampage's neck. He's a great fighter but that's it.
Oh, and I want the two minutes of my like back.

johnny cage wins... fatality.
EDoggFunkMonk Says:
Sad thing is Rampage's acting is better than P. Diddy's in "A Raisin In The Sun."
Looks like Van Damme did the douche bag's choreography and Richard Grieco dressed him.
Dubbayoo Says:
Even in the movies, Rampage doesn't check leg kicks.
halfbreed23 Says:
I've seen worse. Guys like Van Damme and Segal have made a good living being terrible actors. The directing and choreography in this clip is awful. I'm sure the A Team production will be much cleaner.
TacoMafia Says:
i like how the stomach kicks sound just like the punches to face....
Ascerendant Says:
Rampage will look much better in the A-Team movie, trust me. A n00b-actor like him with no guidance in a crap-movie with a main-actor that used to train BJ Penn and a director that probably saw a camera up close for the first time...that's what you get. But that A-Team movie is done by pros who will reshoot and hide Quinton's incompetence as often as necessary.

my eyes and ears wont stop bleeding
BigCountrysChol... Says:
I loved Conan The Barbarian. And that motherfucker ain't exactly Brando either. They will give Rampage as few lines as possible, tell the director to shoot twice as much footage of him so that they can edit the shit out of it, and we will still enjoy the movie. When we rent it.

Anyone involved in even the slightest way of this "film" should be banned from making anymore movies or television shows for the rest of their lives.
Jesus the second Mortal Kombat movie was more watchable.
Seoul Brother Says:
Warlord: Rampage! What is best in life?
Rampage: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their doors!
for the love of mma Says:
He'll be back fighting!
thegorilla Says:
Rampage is so fucked! Bad acting and he's over the fighting hill. He'll be lucky to be bouncing at the titty bar in 2010.
Sabado Gigante Says:
Something tells me War Machine's acting career might surpass Rampage's in terms of overall success... Shit, WM may even win an award for "best fight scene" for his masterbation efforts in Wankin Warriors 8...
Frank Mur Says:
Damn Rampage, still can't check that low leg kick.
Glowskuls Says:
Wow, looks like Hollywood found their replacement for Billy Blanks.....
Soon to come: Rampage hocking his Tai Bo workout DVDs w/ special guest Darrill " Titties" Schoonover.
theberserker Says:
I just don't understand. Both Cecil Peoples and Lester Griffin gave this movie excellent reviews.
MachidaVsSilva Says:
My eyes are bleeding. I think I deserved more of a warning from CagePotato before watching this.
Seoul Brother Says:
theberserker FTW!
AkilleeZ Says:
Who does this guy think he is? Cung Le?
intercept440 Says:
JFC what a fucking idiot.... see i told you people 4 months ago , his only future is being the junkyard dog reincarnated on WWE Monday night raw, stupid ass...
when the a team flops and none of his other movies even make it strait to dvd ...then he is vince mcmahans biotch
virpz Says:

Driving Mister Titties?
510koaLa Says:
the vandamn legacy lives on..i like that RYU throw by rampage
agentsmith Says:
Sure he's a shitty actor, but come on, if he actually was a good actor, he'd be out of place in this movie like a Bentley in a trailer park.
LOL at the arm-twist "throw" at the 0:33 mark... WTF was that supposed to be? Looks very damaging. I mean, the guy could bump his head on the floor or something.
