God helps us, Rambo is back in town, and this time; he’s directing. Well that is Sylvester Stallone is directing. And he will once again don his machine gun and coco butter for the forth installment of Rambo IV: The Serpent’s Eye. The people over at comingsoon.net give us this:
According to Production Weekly, Sylvester Stallone will reprise the role of Vietnam vet John Rambo in a fourth “Rambo” film.
The site says that Stallone is set to produce and direct the sequel based on his own script titled Rambo IV: In the Serpent’s Eye. Production is tentatively scheduled for January in Thailand.
The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers
Ok so the plot isn’t all that original, but it isn’t terrible. Rambo helps the weak and meek. We see a him train an army (probably some hot, fit young men and women) and kicks some butt. Now hopefully he has a reason to take revenge so that the real rage-filled Rambo is unleashed.
Rambo IV may actually be coming out at the right time for male audiences. There hasn’t had many butch men ripping it up on screen lately. Superman is prettier than me, Spiderman is a baby face and even the bad guys are all powder fresh.
Maybe what we need is a greasy 59 year old Vietnam war vet to remind us what manly is.
