RAMBO 5 greenlit!?! Rambo vs. human traffickers and drug lords?!?

Published at:  Aug 30, 2009 11:44:25 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. It's a helluva morning for action film fans. Two Jerry Bruckheimer movies announced, including (potentially) Bad Boys 3 and now we get news of Sylvester Stallone's fifth Rambo flick getting greenlighted by NuImage/Millenium courtesy of Dave McNary at Variety.

Not only is that great news out there, but we also get a rundown of the plot, which has Rambo rescuing a young girl snatched at the US/Mexico border. That rescue operation pits him against drug lords and human traffickers.

My only question... Does Rambo bring his sniper buddy along? I gotta say, I loved RAMBO and I especially loved Rambo being the close-combat behemoth and his sniper buddy blowing off heads and arms with his giant ass sniper rifle long distance.

The more Stallone, the more Rambo, the more I'm a merrier me. You?

    by freebeer

    More exciting than Bad Boys 3. Many much more exciting. Stallone kicks Bays butt when it comes to staging an action sequence. Its not all about big explosions and ludicrous over the top (yet dull) car chases

    Make the girl a ranch-hand's daughter or something, and make Rambo sacrifice himself in the end.

    Stallone's about to better Man On Fire.

    by the_genteel_gentile

    Love you T. Scott, but I liked you better before you fell in love with acid filmmaking (Miles of undercracked, overcranked, triple exposed, shutter flashed, reversal stocked, colorized, subtitled footage thrown into an avid blender at varying speeds.). And I liked Man On Fire. Alot. It's kinda cool but Tony Scott's style wasn't broke and didn't require fixin'. Miss you old Tony, please come back. Rambo 5 will likely be superior due to the fact that Stallone doesn't feel compelled to "experiment" with a great recipe. Count me all the way in.

    Drug Lords are so 80s, How about Rambo v. US Gov?

    by conspiracy

    Really...Drug "lords" are really not bad guys, they just supply a demanded service. The reason they are so violent is the fact it is arbitrarily "illegal", and therefore the channels of distribution and market penetration are few and worth killing for. Rambo should fight the US Gov., the people who REALLY profit from the drug trade, and for legalization. Rambo could go to the hill and talk about how legalization will take the profit out of it, open up competition to legitimate businesses, and force the thugs and murderers out of the business just like the repeal of prohibition chased the Mob outta the Booze business.When they resist...he can go on a full on rampage on capital hill...wiping out moralizing religious fundies, Fascists, and liberty shackling Socialists one and all, restoring the Constitution and limited government, and setting free the citizens of this once free Republic. Now THATS a 21st Century Rambo I'd pay to see.

The last 30 minutes of utter carnage and destruction that was the end of Rambo brought a smile to my face I must say....so this news makes me nothign but happy!

    I loved the ending of "John Rambo" too, but if anyone can improve upon it, Stallone can. Mr. S, you are a true soldier of fortune (in a good, honorable way), and I've come to greatly admire you and your career. Harry, get him to stop by for a few more Q&As before production!!

Dude, even if it was just instrumental Brujeria it would be killer. Mainstream movies have YET to take advantage of this type of CRUNCHING Metal that, used properly, could enhance and intensify any scene. Used properly..

And their clients, too - most important! And maybe he can call in an expert for advice before heading out on his mission. Qui Gon Jinn should make a cameo.

    by juansanchez

    Thankfully the human trafficking plot fits with that. He's not battling a heavily armed army, he's taking on drug lords and human traffickers. I imagine more one-on-one fights, rather than cutting people down with machine gun fire. He'll definitely shoot it both ways and we'll get an unrated DVD.

    Stallone lately: A change in opinion

    by playkins

    A friend of mine worked on "Cliffhanger" back in the day and never had anything remotely kind to say about Sly. Quite frankly, what he said was that Sly was a complete and total ego-maniacal asshole that made his life a living hell for 6 months. For a long time I wouldn't see anything with Stallone (including "Copland", which I understand is actually very good).

    However, after "Rocky Balboa" and "Rambo", I'm willing to let that slide. God damn those were a couple great movies. "Expendables" sounds pretty awesome, too. Here's hoping.

He was sent by his superiors to ask Rambo if he would like to participate in an undercover mission in Columbia...There could be a sub-plot where Rambo's new American girlfriend has a duaghter who has gotten inot the drug scene because her deadbeat-Dad wasn't around etc. Sheeet, this screen-writing stuff is easy!

    I may be wrong on the woman..who was the chick in Judge Dredd? Pretty sure it was her (at least in the rumour). Gotta be careful..litigation etc.

    Anyway, the story (which I don't endorse in ANY way), was that he left his mic on & was shouting "Slap my butt". Unfortunately the story originated in The Sun. So it's probably a total fabrication.

    It became a big joke in the U.K for a few weeks though, as I recall. You could even buy a T-shirt with "Slap my butt" on it.

    I hope it was true. Being in The Sun tells me it probably wasn't. But just imagine the bragging rights! Fuck Rambo 5. If I was the subject of that story, I'd dine out on it for the rest of my days!

    Rambo 5: Just Say No

    by kafka07

    Hmm I wonder why Reagan loved Rambo. Maybe because Rambo too is a political simpleton. Now that Rambo is in the states to hang with his NRA buddies he can team up with the white supremist Minutemen group and snipe ragged immigrants at the border.

    I have to agree with some people here

    by asimovlives

    I used to fucking hate Sylvester Stallone. unlike most of he newbies here, who only know Stallone's movies through rental, i had to suffer through his career at the worst time of it al, through the fucking 80s, at a time when his ego was let lose and rampaged american cinema unchecked. The fucker was the most anoying bullshit star i had ever seen.But today, i have respect for him. today i think he is actually apretty good actor. When he actually bothers to act, like in Copland, he can be very, very good. But most importantly, he turned up to be quite a very competent, even a talented, imaginative and smart director. I can't believe i would ever write this, but his last Rambo movie actually made me respect him more and more. His last Rambo is a text bok on how to make a very effective action movie with little bullshit and maximizing a modest budget to great effect. All else aside, Rambo 4 is one hell of a very well made action movie. Stallone could teach today's hacks, like Michael Bay, in how to make an action movie. I can't believe it took a Rambo moie to make me really rspect Stallone, since it was the Rambo movies before (not counting First Blood) which made me hate him in the first place.Anytime Stalllone wants to direct a new movie, he has my support any day of the week. And i really hope he finally gets off the ground his much delayed biopic of Edgar Alan Poe.

    by basement_cheetoh_eater

    Stallone has already insinuated that if he can work in SchoolBoy in the next film, he'd do it. It gives the movie better credibility (avoiding the cliched 'one man army') and gives the action a better sense of scale with an opposing force having to worry about being sniped at range. It's better for the action and the narrative. I'm betting he returns.

    No comparison

    by scors54

    Lets stop the Sly/Clint comparisons. Eastwood is 16 years older, so no Dirty Harry 6 is understandible-especially since we all essentially got the end of DH with "Gran Torino" and the end of the man with no name with "Unforgiven". Clint has had far better sucess behind the camera as of late, and is a very versatile film maker. Sly is brilliant at what he does, and has finally realized it. I always thought he was a better actor than people gave him credit for (Rocky the first and Copland come to mind) but he is also a kick-ass action director as evindenced by Rambo (the last one). He was pitch perfect, IMO, with Rocky Balboa, ending that character perfectly. I'm sure "Expendables' will kick all sorts of ass. Maybe this Rambo movie is the one that ends it--Rambo ending things where they began, at home, like "First Blood". Who knows? All I know is he's had a good resurrection/run and I hope it keeps going. I'm sure he will probably tone it down when he gets to Clint's age.

    Oh, and whoever said he might have a heart attack at 62? Have you actually seen the guy? I think heart attack is the least of his worries.

    by wee willie

    The last Rocky was a classy endeavor with a lot of heart, Rambo IV was an entertaining return to the Rambo formula, which in my books is a pretty damn winning formula. I can't think of many action stars around today that have the charisma, charm, and balls-to-the-wall intensity that Stallone brings to action roles (when he's in a good movie). It's good to have him back. He's one of the only 80's action stars that's made a comeback and not embarased himself. (I'm lookin' at you, Indiana Jones)

    Problem is, Rambo's training is fighting in the jungle. Fighting in urban enviroment needs a compeltly other type of training. in fact, it's the hardest training a soldier can get, because urban warfare is a soldier's worst nightmare. And worst, urban warafare has such a nature, that even super-trained special forces find it hard to suceed even against amateur armed civilains with no formal military training. Just ask the Spetsnaz when they had to deal with armed civilians in Chechnya. And that was not an exception, that is the rule.Unless the point in putting Rambo fighting in a urban enviroment is a deliberate atempt to rob him of the advantages of his training, for the sake of suspense.

    Also caught District 9 last night. My chick actually wanted to see it!! That movie was bad-ass. No pulled punches, a well deserved R rating, great sci-fi action, and like Rambo, it didn't pull any punches with the gore. We need more movies like these.

    by turketron_2

    Either as an ally or as a big bad in the movie, since he doesn't have a part for him in The Expendables (iirc). I recall Jack Bauer having some business down in Mexico in season 3 of 24, so he should recruit Keifer for the movie too... or save him for Expendables 2, because his role of Jack Bauer has given us some badass moments that most definitely qualifies him as action alum in my eyes.

    NU IMAGE should give STALLONE another 50 million to...

    by abking

    Sly's partnership with NU IMAGE has turned out great. First we got RAMBO, which they gave him 50 million dollars to spend, and Stallone made that 50 million go all the way to the bank with one of the best action films EVER! Next we get THE EXPENDABLES, which they gave Sly 80 million, and which will team for the first time not only ARNOLD "I'M STILL A FUCKING GOD OF ACTION WHEN I RETURN" SCHWARZENEGGER but also BRUCE "I'M SO COOL" WILLIS. And now we get another RAMBO movie with a solid sounding story. Nu Image should give Sly another 50 million (or 60 million) to cause major death and destruction on the bad guys of the U.S. and MEXICO! KILL EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

    Make Rambo the Main Fucking Character This Time For Crissakes!

    by tall_boy66

    Rambo took an hour to actually get out his bow & arrow to do some Rambo-ing, and aside from the final 20 minutes he spent most of the movie playing second banana. The movie is called Rambo, so make it about fucking Rambo. No more "Rambo and his Amazing Friends" like that last one. Once again, Quint comes up with a terrible idea to bring back the supporting guy, but, hey, he's Quint, you can't really hold it against him, that's just being petty. Oh, and an actual villain in this movie would be nice too.

    But the last thing I wanted to do was fuck up the Rambo talkback. Consider me a fan. I proudly supported the last movie and saw it in the theater. Anyway, lots of people mentioned "sniper buddy" and I think that's a good way to go for the next film, too. Get some other paramilitary hard-asses for Rambo to interact with. These are likely the only types Rambo can relate to. Stallone could write some good dilaogue around that premise. A lot of the interesting dialogue in the first two films was Rambo's interaction with Trautman.

Along the way Dennehy's character comes into play and has a chance to reveal who Rambo really is, but they end up working together to stop the attack.

    Eastwood technically retired the Dirty Harry character but In the Line of Fire was made about when Dirty Harry 6 could have been. Stallone can make a good film but while Eastwood proved he can be a consistent commercial success outside his two signature roles, Stallone probably needs to be Rocky or Rambo to get the budget he needs greenlit. But maybe Stallone will show up here and tell me I'm full of shit.

    Will Rambo 5 opens with him at his father's funeral

    by asimovlives

    Every Rambo movie goes to lenghts to make him detatched from the world he lives in, to force his hand to go to combat again. Will the next Rambo movie opens with Rambo attending his father's funeral, to, again, make him alienated and detatched from the world he's in this time, aka, his father's home and farm?And whoever said that Danny trejo should be in a Rambo movie set in Mexico, that was a brillant sujestion. Not only is Trejo the same age as Stallone, which means he could had been once one of his brothers in arms back in Vietnam, but i would love to see Trejo as a good guy side-kick ass kicker. i don't know about you guys, but i'm now pretty fed up seeing Trejo as a bad guy, just because the was not born with boys band looks. It's about time Trejo plays heroic and good guys roles, while still kicling a lot of ass with extreme prejudice.A Stallone/Trejo team up to kick-ass... i can dream, can't I?

    Rambo needs to team up

    by asimovlives

    It was the Rambos movies as a one man army that robbed the Rambos movies of all it's legitimacy and respect in the first place. Those Rambos movies deserved the shellacking they got. It was star ego infecting and hurting a movie forthe sake of feeding the ego. Thank goodness that Stallone woke up from that shit, and decided to serve the movie first, his ego second. Thank goodness he did that for Rambo 4, ending up making one of the best recent action movies.Rambo 4 proves that Stallone is far smarter and an insightful intelligent then the majority of his fans who are still stuck to his bad 80s Rambo movies (Rambo 2 and 3). Rambo 4 is a good companion to the other only good Rambo movie ever made, First Blood. Too bad most Stallone/Rambo fanboys chose the wrong Rambo movies to love, instead of the truly good one, First Blood, and now, Rambo 4.

    Rambo does not exist in this dojo

    by cobra--kai

    The SAS-jerk won my respect my screaming 'You farkin lady boy cunts!!' at his captors even when they had guns in his face.
    I don't much like the concept of this new movie though. Rambo should fight other soldiers not criminals. Otherwise he's in danger of becoming just like any other action hero.

    Maybe he new Rambo would just be a simple revenge story

    by asimovlives

    A revenge story Rolling Thunder style, where war veterans kick criminals ass. It would be a nice different approach, if the new Rambo was more of a thriller then a war movie. Which doesn't mean that would excluse a bombastic destruction-thron climax action scene by the end of the movie, like the one in Extreme Prejudice.

    by williamzabkarox

    The Expendables is going to be filmed as PG-13 and R but rumors are it could end up being PG-13 due to the success of Live Free Or Die Hard. I don't want my action watered down. All four Rambo movies have been rated R so why stop now? The Expendables should also be R. Inglorious Basterds and Watchmen both did well and had R ratings. PLEASE make both films rated R.

  • Erm, really? I'm fairly certain if A) it makes money and B) has good reviews than C) it's a good movie. you know. Crazy logic there, but if people see it and people say good things about it, it's a good movie. (Try pointing out that fact to AsimovLives about Star Trek and his head explodes in nerd rage.)

    ...now that I think about it.
    If the Rambo character gets killed in the movie, it needs to be in the forests of the first movie during Rambo 6, with two trilogies. And thats the one that should be called "JOHN RAMBO".

    Milking it...

    by mariusz

    Sly needs to stay away from Rambo & Rocky flicks. That last ROcky was fuckin' lame, to say the least. Rambo, on the other hand, was truly the best Rambo since FIrst Blood. 100% pure kickassery - as Harry would say. But I think Sly's at the point where he's just milking this shit. The Expendable should be awesome ONLY if it's Rated R. Otherwise, it's in question. We shall see when it's out...

    Pleased to hear Stallone's gonna give us another one. A part of me wishes he'd revisit Afghanistan to sort out the 'Taliban'....but tackling 'kidnapping drug lords' will do nicely....so long as it sticks to the hard R formula! If it's reduced to PG-13, what's the fucking point?

    by cherryvalance

    I guessed that Rambo would be here fighting homeland problems after the end of the last one. Woot.

    I gotta say human trafficking is a great idea. Not to participate in, but for a story. I mean, I hate everyone, and think the world is mostly evil, but I even have a hard time acknowledging that that's going on. I've kinda wanted to find out how you can tell when they are trafficking people in your area. Because where I live I think people could totally get away with that. There's already a system here of hiring illegals and getting them documents and stuff, so I figure it must be going on.

    BTW, Can I go ahead and nominate Andrew Divoff (Mikhail from LOST) for lead trafficker? I miss his Patchy badness.

    Not only did the producer, Avi Lerner, say that a fifth RAMBO WILL BE R (but not as violent as the last one, hey it doesn't need to be)...but STALLONE would never cut the balls off his RAMBO character for more box-office. Rest assured, STALLONE got away with MURDER on the last film with the MPAA. RAMBO should have been rated NC17! GO SLY!

    Stallone never got his due in Hollywood cause no one ever wanted to believe some dumb musclehead got an Oscar for writing a brilliant movie. Then he was constantly in the crosshairs and nit picked. "He's an Asshole..". Really? You would be too if your career was constantly under a microscope. To go way back up for just a second. Eastwood is Eastwood. Always, and that is great. Stallone has done So many variations on himself and original characters over a tremendous career. Rambo is nothing like Rocky. Ray Tango suave and smart. Freddy in Copland was so against type. Where is his cock? I need to blow it.

    by mr. profit

    Sly gets his shit from south of the border? Please. A rich man like Sly wouldn't be caught dead using some bootleg UGL shit. I'm sure he does what every rich man his age (with money) does, goes to an "Anti-Aging" clinic to get their shit. It's totally legal. Every man after a certain age naturally stops producing testosterone (andropause) and testosterone replacement therapy has become popular. There are a lot of jacked 50 something year old men at my gym who go to the same doctor and they put a lot of 20 somethings to shame. But they are there everyday at 5am putting work in. Roids alone aren't allowing Sly to still kick ass though, that man puts in work. And whatever he does/believes in personally, I don't care. I'm old enough to have seen Rocky 4 in theaters. Saw him turn into a joke (The Specialist, Eye See You) and now I'm happy he got his shit right. But don't claim he uses that bootleg shit to get jacked. He got money, and I'm sure he's getting his shit legally.
