Stallone Speaks Fluent Rambo

Though "Rocky 6" is 'out of contention' at the moment, a "Rambo 4" is whispered to still be on the cards at Dimension. Yep, Sly's still hoping 2005 will be the year of the comeback.

Sly Stallone talked to Maxim Magazine - via Dark Horizons - and revealed his idea for John Rambo's fourth manhunt.

"....it won't be what you think - not the same Rambo with the headband. In keeping with some sort of believability, he would be passing the torch to a younger generation of high-tech combatants. We're working on an interesting premise where Rambo is brought back from living on a ranch somewhere, and because of his skills in jungle warfare and survival, he's asked to lead a young group in a search-and-rescue mission. They can't believe this decrepit guy is a war hero, but when their technology fails, they see where Rambo excels."

Please tell me one of those young Rambos-in-training won't be his son Sage.

And despite no one wanting to touch it with a very long pointy thing, the big guy's still talking up his "Rocky 6".

"I'm always fired up to make another Rocky. It dawned on me a long time ago that I have this character who's almost autobiographical, so his story can keep going. The character can go places where the actor is in his life. The movies almost become documentaries."

Yeah, put some of the scenes with Dolph Lundgren in it, side-by-side with a National Geographic special on Chimps, and it's amazing how much they play alike.
