A few days ago some comments coming out of the Weinstein company got some buzz going about the possibility of a Rambo 5 movie. The first half of Rambo 4 was some of the worst filmmaking I’ve ever seen in my life… but the second half of the movie was balls to the wall non-stop goodness… so yeah, I’d be up for another one.
However, those rumors seem to have reached the ears of Sylvester Stallone who has confirmed that THERE WILL NOT BE A RAMBO 5. Period. The good folks over at ropeofsilicon give us this quote from the big man himself:
“This is the last Rambo just as Rocky Balboa is the last Rocky… I can’t go any further. It was a miracle that it even got done.”
So there you have it. No Rambo 5 for us.
As much as I agree that it’s time to let Rambo hang up the bazooka, I do like the idea of an older action hero. A man in his 60’s kicking ass like it’s going out of style. He’d be like Batman from “The Dark Knight Returns”… only he’s have massive guns instead of a utility belt. NOW WAIT A SECOND… THERE’S AN IDEA! (I’ll post the idea later).
