With news that another Rambo film is on its way we are getting conflicting reports on what the plot will revolve around.
We were told Rambo was coming home to fight on US soil, then we were told it was to rescue a kidnapped girl, then it was fighting mexican outlaws, and now he is fighting werewolves in the artic.
Wait, did I just say that? Yeah, the latest “news” is that a leaked synopsis has been put out that Rambo 5 will be called The Savage Hunt. Check out the scanned “official synopsis”
Since when has Rambo ever tread this close to the supernatural or superscience like this. Part of the appeal of Rambo is that his conflicts are grounded in a real world. Granted his one-man-army takes a little suspension of disbelief, but would it really serve the franchise at all to have him battling something so unreal in a real world.
Don’t get me wrong, I am sure a movie with a gifted soldier fighting against a genetically altered failed experiment savage creature may be a great synopsis for an action flick, it just doesn’t fit with Rambo. At all.
I call bullshit. And I hope I am right.
