Stallone Confirms One More 'Rambo' Movie

Personally, I thought Stallone dodged a bullet a year ago with Rambo. It wasn't nearly as good as his other franchise revisitation, 2006's Rocky Balboa, and the movie did OK. There were probably higher hopes for a Rambo movie on the heels of the success of the sixth Rocky movie, but it did well enough. And because of the way the film ended, you might have hoped that was it, that John Rambo had finally found some peace and he'd go be old now. Apparently not. "Yeah, we are doing another Rambo, but the conflict is whether to do it in America or a foreign country," Sly told Extra (via Worst Previews). Before you roll your eyes right out of your head, though, listen to what Sly's cooking up for the cinquel: "I would like to take Rambo to another genre, experiment a little with the character," he said. "It would definitely not be another war movie. I can't go any further with that than what I've already done." Call me crazy, but with the resurgence of hand-to-hand combat and high intrigue in the Bourne movies, the 007 franchise, and even the brand new Taken, can't you just picture John Rambo going on a mission like that? We won't see any real progress on this for a while, because Sly is shooting The Expendables this spring, but it certainly seems like an inevitability.

Oh dear.

Rambo V was of the most specualtive films I've seen. It used the Burmese conflict as an alibi to show as much blood and body parts as possible.

The only thing more terrifying than that is the prospect of Stallone showing us Rambo's soul in the next instalment.

Save me, someone.

You know who could save you, Lengthy? John Rambo.

He'd just put me out of my misery, which isn't quite what I'm looking for.
