Yep, there is going to be a [Rambo IV](http://www.countingdown.com/movies/2756448) 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. ---

You’re forgetting the Alien and Predator franchises. Gotta work them in there somehow. ---

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. ---

I’d pay to go see it if this happens: “And in the challenger’s corner, Jack Bauer!” ---
