It’s no secret around here that I prefer sequels to maintain a sequential titling system (ie. Saw, Saw 2, Saw 3). There are exceptions to every rule of coarse (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back…) but in general I just think it makes more sense. For example, I refuse to call Die Hard 4 anything other than Die Hard 4.
So when Rocky 6 came out and they titled it “Rocky Balboa”, I hated the title. Still do (but I loved the movie). And with the success of the movie, we shouldn’t be surprised that Sylvester Stallone has once again renamed his upcoming Rambo 4 movie to the same kind of title: “John Rambo”. The good folks over at Moviehole give us this:
This message concerns the name change of Rambo.The interviews conducted by richard wilkins on channel 9 both on a current affair and today, did not actually have any footage of sly saying the movie will now be called John Rambo.
Meh, I don’t like it. At least call it “John Rambo: First Blood Part 4” or something like that. Oh well, it’s his movie… he can do whatever he wants with it. By the way, this movie will suck (but then again, I originally thought the same thing about Rocky 6)
