I thought this was just a joke, on _The Daily Show_ or _The Colbert Report_ (forget which one), but according to the IMDB, _Rambo IV_ is actually in pre-production. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462499/](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462499/) Jeez, what’s Stallone thinking? He didn’t embarrass himself enough with II and III? ---

I also heard a rumor about a new _Rocky_ movie, but there’s nothing about it on IMDB. ---

Hollywood is no longer scraping the bottom of the barrel. They are now digging out chunks of it and serving them to us on a platter. ---

Well, three more Rambo movies and the _Alien Nation_ movie will finally be timely. ---

Of course, it should really be _Rambo III_\*. So far the movies have been: _First Blood_ _Rambo: First Blood Part II_ _Rambo III_. So there was never a _Rambo II_. _Rambo III_ should have been, I guess, _Rambo II: First Blood Part III_, which would make the new movie _Rambo III: First Blood Part IV_. I blame Francis Coppola for this, as for so many things. ---

> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > [That’s because it’s not numbered Rocky VI](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479143/) Let me scare people here. But the rough treatments mentioned there could turn into good stories. An aging champion coming to grips with middle age could be good.
