Rambo: Last Blood

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Rambo: Last Blood

Post by GORDON »

Apparently early buzz on Rambo 4 is so good that Stallone is looking at 5...

No don't.

Rambo 4 was honestly good enough to warrant a sequel.

Greenlit.

Plot Concept: The upcoming project's storyline revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border.


That doesn't sound terrible... sounds like a good Rambo movie.

Also want to say that I bought the BD and Rambo 4 is still quite good on subsequent viewings.

Well this isn't good.

http://www.mania.com/rambo-5-goes-scifi_article_117490.html

Before the Labor Day weekend took effect for people across the nation on Friday, AICN reported that they were contacted by writer-director Sylvester Stallone and that the original plot concept was wrong. It seems Stallone has owned the rights to James Byron Huggins' sci-fi novel, Hunter, and had plans to turn that into the fifth installment.

WTF?

Someone needs to tell Sly to make Rambo 5, and then, make a movie called Hunter. He could get both shot in a single year.

If Rambo 5 goes Sci-Fi it just shits all over the original Rambo and what it meant.

Rambo 5 had been shelved and probably for the better. Here's a description of the plot:
the original idea for the film, which was going to see Rambo hunting some sort of monstrous animal.


Sounds like Rambo vs. Predator.

Anyway, Rambo 5 is back to being greenlit, but with a much better script idea.

It could've been a giant hippie.

Rambo needs to die on the battlefield and Rocky needs to die in the ring. Stallone can focus on the Expendables movies.

I've not really been happy with those movies. Rockies and Rambos, I see a jillion times. Expendables... nearly put me to sleep.

It was.....

Still digesting, and trying to decide whether or not it was a good Rambo movie, or not.

I think yes? But this one really hammers home how shitty his life has been, from beginning to end. Maybe that means it's a great Rambo movie. Hmmmm.
