New ‘Rambo’ Film Gives Illegal Aliens A Pass, Targets Evil Canadians Instead

A couple of months ago we reported that the plot for the upcoming Rambo sequel had taken on a sci-fi angle involving John Rambo hunting space aliens in the Pacific Northwest. The reaction here at FSR was decidedly mixed with some of us thinking the idea was beyond ridiculous and others popping immediate chemically-enhanced boners. (Hi Fure!)

Well you can forget we ever mentioned it in the first place.

Sylvester Stallone has apparently dropped a line to Craig Zablo over at the Stallone Zone and he updated the direction Rambo V will be taking. He isn’t abandoning the plot-line all together, but he’s apparently moving it away from the Rambo franchise and into a separate stand-alone film.

I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. RAMBO himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished. There will be blood.”

Stallone doesn’t provide any further details, but it’s clear the “border” in question is the US/Canadian one. There aren’t any obviously violent cities across the US/Mexican one, but up north there’s no shortage of dangerous urban areas. Toronto, Vancouver, Windsor… all death traps.

So are you happy Stallone has dropped the sci-fi angle? Or do prefer it over the generic one it’s been replaced with?

I mean, it could be Juarez, Mexico, right on the border where over 400 women have disappeared to date. The murders are still unsolved.

That could very likely be the case...although Canada is potentially FAR more dangerous...you have to be careful of their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies...

yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I"m thinking. Perhaps Rambo is drawn into it cause of an old buddy who has family down that way. Maybe the guy pulled a desperate and hired someone to bring his family over the border, but they never arrived. Rambo goes down to help him find the missing folks and we end up in Juarez or a made up city modeled after it.

totally Rambo type plot.

Hmm, so are we going to see what Juarez looks like considering he didn't flinch in showing what Burma is doing to its own population?

i would think that something like human trafficking, coyotes, flesh smugglers etc would be more in keeping with the whole Rambo thing than some sci-fi plot. and since the US/Mexican border or maybe US/Cuba is better known, wouldn't that make more sense than US/Canada.especially since no one has said that the film would be current and not perhaps 5-10 years ago.

US/Canadian border...lol...gimme a break! How much violence is really associated with Canada? Sounds like someone took it as racist that violence and trafficking would be associated with Mexicans and is trying to flip the script and make it associated with Canada instead...one of the least violent, most humane countries there is. They can't even carry guns or knives in Canada...lol.
