Yep, there is going to be a Rambo IV and they have just started filming it.
Supposedly, Rambo was going to single-handedly kill Osama Bin Laden at the end of the film, but even Stallone thought that might be a bit much…(seriously).
Am I the only one who thinks this is going to be a huge waste of film stock?
I’m a sucker for sequels, even crappy ones. I’ll be watching the new Rocky and Rambo movies, if he survives filming. But I’ll be going into them with the same attitude I have when renting “B” movies.
Before he croaks, Stallone really has to do a Rocky vs Rambo movie with the winner taking on the winner of the Jason vs Freddy Krueger movies with that winner taking on Michael Voorhies.
I know Sly has been instrumental in some of the most over-the-top movies, but I heard that in Daylight, he wanted his character to die, to give the movie some pathos, but the studio refused. I think he was right.
I am actually looking forward to Rocky 6. The idea of a dirt poor punch drunk Rocky going into the ring one more time for the money, I just like it alot.
But how are they going to do Rambo? Maybe if it’s a Die Hard type situation it could be…interesting…sure.
*He’s no bum, he works down the street
He bought the neighborhood deli
Back on his feet, now he’s chopping up meat
Go inside maybe you’ll hear him say . . .
Try the Rye or the Kaiser they’re on special tonight
If you want you can have an appetizer
You might like our salami and the liver’s alright
And they’d really go well on the Rye . . . or the Kaiser*[/“Weird Al”]
