by | November 13, 2009

Summary

Okay, so it turns out the fifth "Rambo" actually won't feature Stallone fighting a monster. According to new information directly from the Stallone Zone, the franchise's next sequel will follow a decidedly more traditional path. Back to Article

"There will be blood"?

Wasn't his bloodlust sated after Rambo 4? How much more can he give us?

It kinda goes without saying that there's going to be blood in a Rambo movie. It's like saying there's going to be sex in a porno. I'd like to see him go back to more the First Blood style story.

It's not a question of the efficacy of blood in a Rambo sequel as much as it's a question of the need for another Rambo film. (That was the subtext of my original post...)

Yeah, I thought Rambo 4 was completely unecessary. This one sounds more interesting because its actually supposed to take place on American soil, but I hope it is more than just a compilation of pointless killings.

I've said it before; I'd watch Rambo doing his taxes for 120 minutes so whateve the story is I'm in. I also think people misinterpreted what the direction he was going with the previous one. The way I understood it was he would be asked to help hunt down a prototype soldier. He was referring to him as a "feral beast" metaphorically, not literally. Bring it on either way. Thank you Stallone for making movies for guys like me in a hollywood obsessed with feminized vampires and chick action stars.

With "The Monster" it sounded more like two movies in one--the overall story wouldn't hang together without a DUAL-LINEAR approach that would result in a 2 hour and 40 minute RAMBO movie. Both stories would come together in the last 15 minutes and it would cheapen the entire movie.

RAMBO vs THE YETI . . . really bad.

Rambo visits Hostel or Rambo vs. Predator? I'm good either way.

Wow...really? And how many millions will be wasted on this mindless nonsense? If I wanted to watch a washed up, out of shape actor trying to kill Mexicans I could just watch the Governor of California sit in his office.

I was perfectly happy with Rambo 4. It's one of the better action films to be released in recent memory.

Hollywood doesn't make good action movies anymore (unless it's a superhero film). If it's anything like Rambo 4, I will be happy.

If this new story involves the Mexican mafia the Cartels, they may retialiate in real life and get rid of Rambo all together.

With you Armond. Rambo 4 was a good action film and movies like Die Hard 4 and Terminator Salvation could of used this kind of direction. I hope the next Rambo movie really turns it up a notch and goes ultra violent/action and if haters can't handle a movie like that, go watch Precious or New Moon.

Maybe the "feral beast" is a chick. Ever thought that, eh?

Coming next summer, RAMBO KILLS A GIRL! WITH A KNIFE! IN HER HOO-HAH!! (rated G)

Bring on Rambo and all the kick a$$ carnage that follows him. How can you not love these movies for the simple pleasure of watching a bunch of bad guys get blown to hell for an hour and half. These are pure fun action movies, and I think everyone needs a movie without a message every now and again.

Senseless killings on the border? Color me RED!

Maybe they could get Machete to come in for a cameo.

I thought the newest Rambo was amazing. I am glad they are doing another and aren't going with the whole man/beast thing. Rambo is best when he is out slaughtering tons of people who deserve it.
