Rambo officially retired by Sylvester Stallone - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Despite saying for years that he was working on a script for “Rambo V,” Sylvester Stallone revealed in a new interview with Variety that he has no intention of reprising his role as the iconic military war hero. “The heart’s willing, but the body says, ‘Stay home!,’” Stallone, 69, explained in this week’s cover story. “It’s like fighters that go back for one last round and get clobbered. Leave it to someone else.”[/QUOTE] [url]http://variety.com/2016/film/news/sylvester-stallone-retiring-rambo-1201672291/[/url] [IMG]https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/rambo-first-blood-1982-sylvester-stallone.jpg?w=670&h=377&crop=1[/IMG]

jesus christ he's almost 70

he should kill him off in rambo 5 via being an old dude.

Don't worry we have the Son of Rambo

[QUOTE=Ithon;49464548]he should kill him off in rambo 5 via being an old dude.[/QUOTE] 90 minute movie in which he falls in the shower, and lies there for days before finally dying. Should have called life alert.

Should have retired from Rambo after the first film. Now it's stained by every sequel after it.

[QUOTE=Ithon;49464548]he should kill him off in rambo 5 via being an old dude.[/QUOTE] and when they kill him off in the movie, that should kill him off in RL too. make it the same.

Next movie has Frank Stallone as Rambos brother

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49464628]Should have retired from Rambo after the first film. Now it's stained by every sequel after it.[/QUOTE] I actually liked the fourth one.

[QUOTE=UnknownDude;49464663]I actually liked the fourth one.[/QUOTE] I thought it was brilliant.

[QUOTE=Ithon;49464548]he should kill him off in rambo 5 via being an old dude.[/QUOTE] that would actually make a really good throwback to the tone of First Blood

His original premise was to fight an alien from space that was essentially predator + wolverine. Better to let 4 just end it ambiguously.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49464628]Should have retired from Rambo after the first film. Now it's stained by every sequel after it.[/QUOTE] yeah, really fucked up imo "LETS USE A GUY WITH SEVERE PTSD AS A LIVING WEAPON YES"

The fourth one was awesome. My brother and I could not sit still throughout the climax shootout. First one was good too. Second and third were...ehh

I don't understand why anyone would like the 4th one, it's literally the worse one. Stupid plot, no character worth caring about, a no-name villain, and the action scenes were terrible with their fake blood and over the top gore for the sake of gore.

The only bad about that gore was when the soldiers got cut in half from the torso, everything else was 100% accurate. The fight was pretty damn unrealistic and stupid (still badass though), and that barrel would never be able to stand that heat for so long, but it had one of the finest gore ever in film. The corpses was perfectly made, even the dismembered corpses. The scene were they forced people over a water minefield happens alot in Burma, and that special effect was perfect aswell. I don't know about the Barrett M82CQ, but an M107 Barret can remove someone's head and it later on turns up over 20m away. They're both 50:s aswell. Even a .44, .40/E/W, .357 can remove half of a head. Don't know about the gut falling out when Rambo used his knife. The way the soldiers reacts and flies away during the mortar attack is pretty fucking bad.

Could always do what they did with Creed and have Rambo be a mentor to someone

I like rambo 4 for what it was a retarded gorefest

A lot of movies have a difficult time portraying a sense of intensity, yeah there's guns going bangity bang bang but it doesn't feel like you're there. I dunno if the theater I was in turned up the volume for the climax, but the hammering of that .50 for what seemed like 15 minutes rattled my bones every time and I was on the verge of standing up and cheering during the whole thing. Leaving the movie felt like I just left a warzone, voices muffled, a sharp EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in both ears, god damn it was awesome. Maybe not the best cinematography, not the best plot, not the best effects. But definitely one of the best climaxes ever in an action movie.

[QUOTE=Adarrek;49464653][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn187skbynQ[/media][/QUOTE] Thanks to the sequels Rambo movies are considered just dumb action movies now, but First Blood was much different, really a great movie.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;49465154]Could always do what they did with Creed and have Rambo be a mentor to someone[/QUOTE] I think Creed was an ok movie and a breath of fresh air from the horrible sequels to Rocky and I just hope they don't make anymore movies set in the Rocky universe. I don't see how they could make something like that with Rambo though.

The military hires him to train special forces recruits in jungle warfare.

That could work I guess, they could make him sacrifice himself in a blaze of glory at the end to complete the mission. Or he could be an old man in a village that gets attacked/raided and he teaches the villagers to defend themselves and still goes out in a blaze of glory. It still doesn't have the emotional connection that Creed had but it would be a decent action movie like Rambo 4.

The first Rambo filmed I watched is the last one, gotta say after this I saw him play roles in many other films with a lot of other actors who have also become old (Like The Expendables) I think he should seriously just retire already (at least from action films)

Must be really heartwarming that your fans want you to die in the movie because they expect you to die in real life soon.

Shit is insane.

Regardless of the ending scene, it doesn't make up for the shitty plot, the 1-dimensional characters, the no-name villain and all the other issues with the film. Honestly don't know what's worse, Rambo 4 or Rambo 3 that force-feeds you a political viewpoint through the whole thing (which is a hilarious watch in a post 9/11 world)

Rambo 3 is fantastic, it's really just a barrel of laughs and makes you sad about that's what became of the Rambo franchise. Rambo 4 is okay enough and the last scene is entertaining enough to satisfy the urges of ~brutal combat~. Rambo 2 never happened.
