Rich Franklin is a 'genetically engineered super-soldier' in action film 'Weapon'

should b good

Hey..if you thought you were the most dominate MW of all time..then ran into some of Anderson Silva’s Knees,Kicks,elbows,Fists..looking like a kid getting beat up in the parking lot at 3 o’clock..then yeah a movie star career is good move..doesn’t matter if he is super genetic MMA Fighter/Soldier/Actor..whatever..hey He’ll never hold MW weight when Silva’s in town..but he is Dana’s buddy 4life..he is good money.

side note: UFN12 Corey Hill 6’4 vs Joe Veres i think 5’6..Joe got KO’d in like 8seconds by Gray M.

Shouldn’t this movie be called Universal Solider 3?

Shouldn’t this movie be called Universal Solider 3?

Yeah, no kidding.
Somehow, I doubt this flick will ever see the theaters. IMDB has not even heard of it.

“one movie theater screens nationwide”

One theater seems about right. :P

Shouldn’t this movie be called Universal Solider 3?

I was just about to say that. Sounds like a B Movie Knockout to me.

Maybe they should have used Anderson Silva. He seems to be the real Genetically engineered super-soldier not Franklin.

And then he faces another, more superior and advanced genetically engineered soldier…………..

Anderson Silva

I hope he gets tiffani amber thiessen in some ground and pound and maybe a rear naked choke, hahahha, SHE IS HHHHOTTTTT

Just call it Soldier 2. maybe we’ll see guest apperances by Gonzaga as a love interest or maybe even Lorenzo Lamas. I smell an oscar on our hands here.

I am a huge Rich Franklin fan as most of you all know.

But this is just plain stupid. But the lead girl is flippin hot..

This movie is so good it doesnt need movie theaters. Straight to video. woooooo

I cant believe I am saying this as a Rich Franklin fan.

At the end of this movie Rich Franklin will get clinched up with the main bad guy, and the guy will knee him, and he will shut down Rich Franklin’s superpowered microchip, but the lead girl will save him, and Rich Franklin will have to get nose surgery.

=0

Yes I can’t wait to not see it!

Anyone hear any news about whats next for Franklin inside the octagon. Franklin cant beat Silva. This we all know,but if Franklin can get over those mental hurdles of getting destroyed by Silva, he can still be one of the best fighters at 185. Personally I would love to see Henderson vs. Franklin, or Franklin vs. Filho, or even Franklin vs. big dog Almeida or Franklin vs. Marquardt, Franklin vs. Leites, all very interesting scenario’s. The 185 division is so shitty, that I hope Franklin can get back to his winning ways. He can forget about the Title, but he can still put on a hell of a fight against the other top 185 lbers, if he can get his mind right!

I hope he gets tiffani amber thiessen in some ground and pound and maybe a rear naked choke, hahahha, SHE IS HHHHOTTTTT

Hell yea! Tiffani was always a hottie, even when she was goody 2 shoes Kelly Kapowski.

Rich Franklin has the body of a machine, so he seems like a perfect fit for his role as a Super Soldier.

oh man, this is gonna be so horrible.

This movie is so good it doesnt need movie theaters. Straight to video. woooooo

Right? I’ll be very surprised if this movie doesn’t go straight to video, if it actually somehow does make it to the movie theaters, I REALLY can’t see this movie being in theaters nationwide. This movie will probably only be shown in some cinemas in Ohio, as well in the auditorium of Bayside High.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen isn’t exactly an ‘A’, ‘B’, or even ‘C’ list celebrity anymore. She is right there chillin with Cathy Griffin on the ‘D-List’ of celebrities.

I KINDA SEE IT TURNING OUT SLIGHTLY AS WELL AS " THE MARINE" did with john cena, ,,,, but i hope rich franklin finishes what zach morris couldnt,by that i mean her

Oh my god, what is wrong with you UFC fighters and acting?

Next we’re gonna see Matt Hughes reprise Hulk Hogans role in Mr. Nanny 2.

Sweet Jesus. I can understand if he wants to give acting a shot, but he’s better off doing dinner theater in Cincinnati than a straight to the shelf DVD turd of a movie like this. I think these types of C-grade movies can kill a career before it begins.

“I hope”

Tiffani Thiessen is SOOOOO Hot!

There is all kinds of MMA talent in movies that are coming out. I wish one would come out already.

wow I think Ive seen this before at least twice. Once with Universal Soldier, another time with Solo.

I wonder will this be like that rubbish CroCop movie, Ultimate Force? That one was so bad.

haha yeah it does sound like Universal Soldier, Solo, or Soldier, but i will watch it just becuase of Rich and kelly Kapowski….i think its wise to know that when these guys pick these movies to do, they arent expecting them to be box office hits, they know what theyre getting into, and im sure its good money and maybe even a foot in the door after theire fighting days are over…it cant be worse than any JCVD movies or dare i say chuck norris flicks…i just hope for a few booby shots and maybe Screech as the comic relief side kick

Wait a minute. He gets his rear end handed to him twice and this is the consolation prize? Man, I am in the wrong business.

Does anyone know how much more he’s getting paid to act in bad movies than fight in an octagon?

Who knows, maybe he’ll be the next Jean Claude Van Damnd?

Does anyone know how much more he’s getting paid to act in bad movies than fight in an octagon?

He gets paid more for fighting, but then a good chunk of his winnings go toward reconstructive surgery, so he actually keeps more of his movie money. Just a guess, anyway.

well said

Geez…If he was a genetically engineered super-soldier he wouldn’t get his arse kicked by Anderson Silva all the friggin time.

he’d have to be genetically engineered a little further in order to get his title back

Hey, even the T-1000 got its ass kicked by Arnold in T-2.

I like the idea of this. I don’t know about anyone else here, but I’m a huge fan of b movies. This is going to be a turd no question. BUT, is it going to be a turd the likes of a Troll 2?

If you watch these with a sense of humor they aren’t all that bad. Why do you think people watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show? I’ll admit I hate that gd movie, but they don’t watch it do to it’s great storyline/acting/dialogue. They like it, because it is so damn bad.

I’ll watch this movie when it comes out

you need a lot of weed to enjoy those movies. I hear Matt Hughes
will be starring in Leprachaun 3: Back to the Farm!

Holy shit I would love to be apprehended by Tiffani Thiessen, Rich is a lucky guy…

That description of the movie makes it sound like its a porno.

Sounds definitely like a ‘B’ movie or something you’d see on the Sci Fi Channel… so what?… I say go fer’ it! Experience a few things and make a few extra $$$… sounds like fun.

“In “Weapon,’ a lonely U.S. border patrol agent (Tiffani Thiessen) apprehends a Xyciense engineered super-soldier (Franklin) and experiences the ride of her life when the soldier’s creator (Dana White) relentlessly hunts them down.”

Jorge Gurgel will play the little toy solider next to Rich Franklin.

Yeah, no kidding.

I know I’ve had a good laugh, and I haven’t seen the film yet!

bet he wishes hed gone to hollywood before the free andersson silva nose jobs

unless he steps up to 205 theres not much for franklin to do other than be the gatekeeper at 185 to determine who gets title shots

i cant see him getting a 3rd chance with andersson and probably doesnt want one either

so pretty much if you get your ass handed to you by anderson silva 2x the next best thing is a movie…well i am sure the pay check will be bigger

being in the movie industry i have loved b-movies all my life, but alot of time they are just low budget but really awesome.
 this on the other hand cant be compared to that, its gonna be shitty acting, shitty dialog, shitty amateurish everything. wait its coming up on x-mas, maybe they can get tim sylvia to take the lead role in santa’s slay 2, he can take goldbergs place as a murderous santa..huh huh whos with me….ok whatever asses you know it would be better than the franklin movie

I think everyone is jumping to conclusions on this film. Its not up on IMDB yet because this press release just came out yesterday and IMDB is not allowed to put it up on their site until after the press release. Beside Bruce Greenwood is in the film as well and he does not do crap movies all his films have done well. Lay of Rich in the end I think alot of us may be surprised. Give it a chance before you start slamming some UFC fans you are.

Oh…You guys are real funny. IMDB does not registar the film until the release is out. It is not like this is some crap flick with Greenwood and Theesin in it. Why not do it? It beats going to a crap job…like most of you….and I bet NONE of you would be so funny to Franklins face. At least Franklin is ON the screen and not hiding behind one…..

YouTube has preview of UFC show premiering on CNBC 12/13. Highlights fighter Rich Franklin. Pretty cool…

theey should use sherk,geneticly engeneered is the nice way to put it
