    Sly Takes His Sanity Pills - No More Sci-Fi In Rambo 5

    Sylvester Stallone went against his promises that Rambo would bring an end to his psychologically disturbed ‘Nam vet-turned-killing machine action star series after it turned out to be profitable and not shit. Then he revealed the fifth installment would involve our hero fighting some sort of scientifically engineered monsters.

    Much to the surprise of five people, fans thought he was joking at first. Once they realized he was for real, it didn’t go over as well as I’m sure Sly intended.

    Now two months later, he tells the folks over at StalloneZone to forget about it:

    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.

    Best,
    Sly Stallone

    Good thinking, Sly! Why do the smart thing and kill the movie altogether when you can just change the name of your lead character for Savage Hunt and do an entirely different Rambo 5? With this new “Rambo vs. the Border” story-arc, I’m sure he has no intention of preaching to us movie-going idiots about his views on illegal immigration. What gave you that idea?
