Nothing is Over! ‘Conan the Barbarian’ Writer Penning ‘Rambo 5’
In Development By Nathan Adams on August 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt’s been a pretty hard life for John Rambo ever since he signed up to go overseas and serve his country in Vietnam. He was turned into an expert in guerrilla warfare. Made the best with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. He was trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel, to kill, period. Win by attrition. And after a rough patch where the guy just couldn’t adjust to life after Nam, we sent him back there to slaughter hundreds more and get our POWs. Then we sent him to Afghanistan, where he killed about a thousand more people. I thought that was it for the guy, but then he ended up having to do the same in Burma. Isn’t it about time we let this guy live out his final years in peace? No. You just don’t turn it off. There’s a segment of the population out there who think that First Blood is a decent movie, but the subsequent Rambo sequels are cheesy and exploitative and lame. Those people are ridiculous. The Rambo sequels are cheesy and exploitative and awesome. Even 2008’s Rambo, where we get Rambo as an old man, is completely amazing. He tears out throats with his bare hand and explodes guys by hitting them with close range high caliber machine gun fire. What more do you want?

Is Rambo Trying to Sneak Past Critics?
Movie News By Dom Organ on January 13, 2008 | Be the First To CommentIt is with great dismay we read that Sylvesters Stallone’s contemporary, thoughtful war drama (subtle and cuttingly sarcastic raised eyebrow must be imagined) Rambo will not be screened to the press.
John Rambo. Rambo: To Hell and Back. Rambo IV: Holy War. Who gives a shit? Just give it a damn name, make a poster, drop a full length trailer in glorious quicktime and release the film. No one really cares what the film is going to be called, just that it involves gratuitous blood and violence. For that matter you could call it Rambo IV: Fluffy Bunnies Attack and we would still go see it.
