Sly Refuses to Leave "Rambo" Alone

It's official: Sylvester Stallone is that friend of yours who doesn't have enough sense to know when to leave something alone - you know the type I'm talking about!

Amid criticism from everyone (including myself), Sly decided to resurrect his most-popular film character with Rocky Balboa.

And you know what? He's proved us all wrong. Balboa was a well-made and fitting swan-song to the franchise that wound up surprising critics and audiences alike with it's quality and box-office success.

Soon after, it was (not surprisingly) announced that Stallone would bring back his second most well-known film persona - that of 'Nam vet/action hero John Rambo.

And although Rambo ultimately wasn't met with anywhere near the acclaim of Balboa last year, it still wound up making a nice profit in theatres and (especially) home-video.

In the midst of pre-production on his forthcoming action-epic The Expendables, Sly confirmed that indeed a fifth installment is now coming:

"Yeah, we are doing another 'Rambo,' but the conflict is whether to do it in America or a foreign country."

I realize I sound like a dick with this post - certainly not the first time, nor will it be the last.

But seriously, Rambo (like Balboa two years before it) brought the character to a proper and fitting conclusion - regardless of whether or not you liked said film.

All Sly is doing now is beating a dead horse, and looking more and more desperate...
