This has to be a joke. This would be a cool concept if it was Stallone creating a new action hero, but not RAMBO. I agree with Vic Rambo finally came full circle let the character rest.

Sly I’m begging….We will see you do another character you don’t have to ruin the ones we already love!!!!!

If the mutant that he’s going up against isn’t getting some .50-cal lovin’, then this movie ain’t worth watching. Same goes if the Barrett M107 anti-materiel rifle doesn’t get a chance to knock off some heads.

same old story.
yeah, this is kinda weird, but, something at least different.
these are just movies folks..entertainment.

now that i think about it, it kinda reminds me of that movie chuck norris made about that geneticaly altered criminal. what was that? silent rage?

I read on AICN talkbalk a hilarious comment about what we’ll get next from Stallone. This movie opens the door to finally seeing ‘Rocky goes to Space’!

I LOLed.

Sounds like a good idea but mexican drug runners seems a little 80′s dont it? yeah its pretty current considiring the situation in Mexico right now, but a sci-fi twist is okay as long as its not the chupacabra he is fighting. If you think about it isnt Rambo kind of a super human???

@Josh Rose

I agree.

@Johnny 4

LOL, sounds like you described the first draft of “The Expendables.”

Although I’m a Rambo fan I really, REALLY wish they would have closed the series with the final scene in the last film and left it there. Would have been a classic, dignified ending to the Rambo saga.

Personally I would like to see Rambo at home, building a relationship with his ailing father, and trying to reconnect to a country that he knows little about. Then suddenly you get…. “Hey Dad, let me get you another cup of coffee.”
Rambo walks over to coffee pot, begins to pour a cup of black coffee. Unexpected knock at the door.
John Rambo opens the door, looks directly into the eyes of Chuck Norris. “Hey Rambo, hate to bother you at home, but I could use your help with a problem.”
“I’m done with war, fighting. It’s over.”
Chuck says, “Nothing is over. We have a situation that can use your skills John. The New Mexico desert is being taken over by secret psycho alien ninjas. Only you, and well, me can stop ‘em John.”
Rambo looks back at his dad, “I’ll be back in a while, Dad.”
“Meet me in the barn Chuck.”
Cut to montage of Rambo in forge inside his fathers barn, hammering steel, forging a katana (in 7 minutes) with which to battle the secret psycho alien ninjas. Meanwhile Chuck is doing roundhouse kicks to help push the heat out of the forge.

And voila’!

I think it sounds great. Like Rocky 4 in the Rambo world. Bring it on! Stallone knows what he’s doing. Would nice to see something unexpected. Something that adds something to the saga. Usually the Stallone sequels are just the same old, same old. It might flop, but I know I will respect him for trying.

It’s just important that he doesn’t do a Rocky 5, and sissify and put the focus away from the character. As long as Rambo is still an awesome tough guy with long hair, big muscles and a bad-ass machine gun, it’s all that matters.

I say no. This is not the reason I started liking Rambo to begin with. Why does this remind me of Jason X? Because the same thing is happening here. It’s frankly an utter garbage of an idea.

Sounds fine to me.
BRING IT ON!

The sci-fi bit doesn’t sound AT ALL like something Rambo would do. Better off if Sly makes a whole ‘nother movie out of it. Rambo demolishing drug-trafficking sounds more up his alley.

Nah do it in the sixth. Maybe he aught to make them back to back? This kind of sounds like Rambo vs Wolverine, when you think about it, or maybe if you don’t think about it.

Huh.

I definitely like the idea, but I’m not so sure I like it as a Rambo movie.
