...To Hell and Back was awful. As would 'Blood River' have been.
Second! by jermcdee	Oct 12th, 2007 02:38:21 PM
Nice Save Harry! I would've seen this film anyway, but John Rambo is simply a better (non direct to video) title.

JUST HAVING FUN, MR. STALLONE. AT LEAST ON MY PART by Acne Scarface	Oct 12th, 2007 02:40:43 PM

Thank Goodness all that boxing didn't ruin his brain! by Det David Mills	Oct 12th, 2007 02:42:50 PM
I am very happy to hear that the Title will stick "John Rambo" it's strong, straight to the point, and as Harry said, it really signifies the return of the man! PS: Sly if you're reading...My wife and I loved "The Contender"...We added $20.00 to our Sat bill just to get ESPN. Is it coming back? - "I must break you"
Yay! I'll go see a movie called "John Rambo" by SkeletonParty	Oct 12th, 2007 02:46:24 PM
I'd rent a movie called "Blood River".
Stick with John Rambo by Samuel Fulmer	Oct 12th, 2007 02:46:27 PM
The first title sounds like a bad Indiana Jones film title (Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!!!), and the second one sounds like an early 80's Friday the 13th rip-off. John Rambo's the best title. It doesn't make me think it'll be the last Rambo movie. Now if it was called Rambo IV:Last Blood then maybe.
Damn, Harry got juice! by JackBauer@CTU	Oct 12th, 2007 02:46:36 PM
Now if you could just have the Beard call you and talk him into slightly tweaking the KOCS, all will be well. (And I'll admit, I actually didn't hate Rambo: To Hell and Back. I know I should, but I don't)
The power geeks and the internet have is amazing by Elwood Blues	Oct 12th, 2007 02:47:38 PM
Just look how fast it went from changing the name to keeping it John Rambo. Amazing. And very cool.
Great to see you back at AICN Sylvester!!! by lukasman	Oct 12th, 2007 02:50:16 PM
Really looking forward to seeing John Rambo, and I think what Harry told you about the title is exactly how I feel, whatever that´s worth for...
Stallone - a fantastic decision! by kwisatzhaderach	Oct 12th, 2007 02:50:49 PM

Nice one.
How about another epic interview, Mr Stallone? by MaxTheSilent	Oct 12th, 2007 02:55:42 PM

You're comparing 'Rambo' to 'The Searchers'??? by metaluna	Oct 12th, 2007 03:05:39 PM
Excuse me sir, but can you tell me what planet this is? Oh I see, it's planet bullshit. Damn. When's the next rocket off this ball of mud, I made a wrong turn somewhere. Hey... get this ... can you believe I've got the inhabitants of this one comparing a Rembrandt to some kids scribble? Yeah, nuts isn't it? Made me spit my morning coffee out. What's that you say? Next rockets six thirty? Okay... thanks. Yeh I think I also heard some idiot say they were thinking of making a Thundercats movie. What a weird planet. Six thirty can't come around fast enough.

And I say just keep using the JOHN RAMBO in the title from here by NoPIX	Oct 12th, 2007 03:05:55 PM
I haven't really thought this one through....so I don't have a suggestion on what comes after JOHN RAMBO, but, uhm, yeah...
Well Crap! by Fataleye	Oct 12th, 2007 03:08:44 PM

Could Stallone be more of a legend? by brokentusk	Oct 12th, 2007 03:14:36 PM
JOHN RAMBO is a great title, and I share Harry's reasoning behind it. Calling it anything other than JOHN RAMBO, while implying it is just another adventure among (possibly) many more, would make it seem - I don't know - less important? It's not THE GODFATHER or anything, but JOHN RAMBO just makes the whole thing sound nice and serious.
Sly Stallone rocks. by spaceworlder	Oct 12th, 2007 03:14:38 PM
Who else in Hollywood would consult the little guy on something like a movie title?
MORE RAMBO FILMS SOUNDS GREAT!!! BUT the promotion needs to star by ABking	Oct 12th, 2007 03:17:22 PM
Sly, you need a KICK ASS action adventure score to go with your cut of JOHN RAMBO a la Jerry Goldsmith...it needs to be serious yet POPCORN ENTERTAINMENT AT THE SAME TIME! What is Lionsgate up to...JOHN RAMBO opens JANUARY 25TH and so far no poster (one-sheet) and no movie previews in theaters...the MARKETING and PROMOTION needs to start NOW!!! That is KEY...

P.S. by spaceworlder	Oct 12th, 2007 03:20:44 PM
Bruce was right: Live Free or Die Hard was better than the original. Die Hard 1 has got to be one of the most overrated movies of all time.

Quick Harry, call him back and say you changed your mind by Vern	Oct 12th, 2007 03:23:07 PM
JOHN RAMBO does sound like it's the last one. What's the next one gonna be, JOHN RAMBO PART 2: FIRST BLOOD PART 5: RAMBO FIRST BLOOD PART 2 PART 3? I mean come on. You can't do another title after JOHN RAMBO, it's gonna be too ridiculous. Maybe BLOOD RIVER: A JOHN RAMBO ADVENTURE will be the next one. BLOOD RIVER was the best offered so far. At least they didn't stick with EYE OF THE COBRA. By the way: is this the story of his personal journey? Because the trailer doesn't make it look like it is any more than the other ones. In my opinion that title should be saved for the real full circle end of the line FIRST BLOOD the final chapter.
GJ SLY by ryman7	Oct 12th, 2007 03:24:55 PM
Kudos to sly for soliciting the advice of his audience, and for taking their advice. Unlike Warner Bros and the new "justice league" film with A NON-BATMAN-BEGINS BATMAN. Dumbasses have a talent for screwing up batman, and just when nolan and bale fixed it.

Not every actor, producer, director would do what you do. Actually listen to the fans. You actually come to AICN and read talkbacks. You're one of a kind Sylvester Stallone. Can't wait for John Rambo!!!
HELL YEAH, RESULT! GOOD DAY ON THE BOARDS, GO SLY! by KillaKane	Oct 12th, 2007 03:35:50 PM
Some of the TB'rs titles were balls out funny not to mention creative, great japes on the boards today peeps. Double cool that Sly takes such an active interest in our spewings, and on the off chance he's reading this rant, pleeease ensure that Goldsmith's themes and motifs from the music of the Rambo series find their way in some semblance in Brian Tylers score, would'nt be a Rambo movie without 'em.

This just guaranteed my going to see the film. Bravissimo.
Oh sweet! by Fawst	Oct 12th, 2007 03:47:23 PM
Good news, John Rambo is the perfect title for this movie. It IS derivative of Rocky Balboa, but at the same time... this DOES seem like a far more personal story for JJ. I mean, the first one was obviously the most personal story, cuz duh. But he's not fighting for himself, or for his government, or for his country. It works for me, and I will absolutely be there opening night for this one. Stallone, many thanks for giving this film a set of balls. Hypothetically, of course.
So this means that if this is a hit then we'll get at least anot by The Dum Guy	Oct 12th, 2007 03:48:49 PM
I wonder if Rocky 7 will have him working as a sports announcer? If the first one is First Blood, and the second one is Rambo: First Blood Part II, and the third is Rambo III, and now this one is John Rambo, then they could make the next one simply Rambo. With that in mind, they could possibly name the sixth one Rambo 2.
Wow Harry, you are a power-player now, changing titles and every by Klaus Herzog	Oct 12th, 2007 03:48:53 PM
I'm almost impressed. Maybe you should call J.J. Abrams next and advise him to let this whole Star Trek-remake shit be and come up with new and original characters

John Rambo is a cool title.
I dreamed the made a sequel... by rev_skarekroe	Oct 12th, 2007 03:52:33 PM

that is all. And Mr. Stallone, if you are reading this, PLEASE don't pay much attention to talkbackers. Though I realize I am myself a talkbacker saying this, so... I guess that's a paradox??
John Rambone?.. by mitemike	Oct 12th, 2007 03:55:08 PM
Doesnt he have something else in common with Sly?...heh..
SLY: have LIONSGATE announce a new RAMBO trilogy in the works! by ABking	Oct 12th, 2007 03:55:44 PM

Sly, we love ya! by GoFukyerSelf	Oct 12th, 2007 04:03:36 PM
First of all let me just say that I feel kinda awkward writing with the name "GoFukyerSelf" knowing that Stallone might read this.... Maybe I should think about changing the name. Anyway, Sly, you've come back to us. You realized that we didn't love your movies for your muscle (which never hurt), we love your movies for your heart. Rocky is one of the great movies of all time.. not great sports movies, not great Stallone movies.. one of THE great movies PERIOD. Rocky Balboa was an excellent companion piece to that, with all the heart of the original. John Rambo is looking to be that same kind of companion to First Blood. Thank you, Sly. Thank you for coming back to your fans and making the movies that we love.
CURSE YOU ENTER BUTTON!!! by StudioPlant69	Oct 12th, 2007 04:03:44 PM

Hey Vern....John Rambo: and then some by Det David Mills	Oct 12th, 2007 04:04:32 PM
I see the dilemma of thinking "John Rambo" seems too final; however, after this re-emergence of the character, they can drop the "First Blood", Rambo" altogether, and still have a successful franchise, if the character regains/retains some iconic qualities. Using a title such as Blood River. Or another good bet. John Rambo: (insert strong words here) Ex. Revenge, Bloodshed, Sacrifice, Lethal, Fatal, etc..Huh? HUH? - "What's so fun about a building?"
EXTRA! EXTRA! RAMBO GET'S CASTRATED BY AICN NERDS!!! by Luke_Cage	Oct 12th, 2007 04:06:52 PM
Yo, I hated the title change too, but c'mon, Sly. Where's your self esteem? Word
I kind of agree with Vern... by WONKABAR	Oct 12th, 2007 04:07:18 PM
and Sly's second thoughts. "John Rambo" really does sound like a full-circle finale-title. If that's the case then John Rambo is indeed the best title. Harry has point about it sounding like a return to seriousness and character etc. But it still has a sound of finality to it, especially after Rocky Balboa. And if Sly plans to make more...I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter since the titles got all messed up--"First Blood II--Rambo III" etc. I mean, if you want to be consistent just call it "FIRST BLOOD IV"...i.e. part four of the "RAMBO-SERIES". Then rename all the movies Lucas-style when they get re-released on DVD. i.e. "RAMBO III" becomes "RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART III" Roman numerals are still pretty serious-sounding...The Godfather did it.

Regardless of the title... by Spastic Jedi	Oct 12th, 2007 04:09:51 PM
This movie is gonna kick some ass. When I first saw the trailer I sat back and thought, "Damn, thank you Stallone for making a kick ass action movie." I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been longing for a good ol 1980's style action movie... Pro-American with some no apologies action! Can't wait, regardless of the title, Sly's getting my cash!
Rambo goes Apeshit!!! by shagdrum	Oct 12th, 2007 04:10:24 PM
Hows that? Or, Rambo v. Aliens v. Predator v. Darth Vader v. Ash v. Freddy v. Jason v. John McClane v. Terminator.....
I think most Hollywood stars do not appreciate by Daddylonghead	Oct 12th, 2007 04:10:53 PM
the difference they can make. For instance, I am a Charles Bronson superfan. Own (on one medium or another) nearly every movie in his 80+ filmography, partial runs of his early b&w TV appearences and series, and dozens of posters from around the world... just a freak for Charles Bronson, and yet he was the most remote action actor ever, completely uninterested in fans and fandom; that was a part of his mystique. OK gotta cut myself short, I could rant about Bronson forever. Anyway, it is with surprise that I find now, largely on the strength of his appearances on AICN and, most importantly, the astounding ROCKY BALBOA, I feel a fan's enthusiasm for Sylvester Stallone to the point where I want a poster of JOHN RAMBO to put in my living room, because I am so damn pumped for this movie... if you had told me three years ago I would be this psyched about a Stallone movie I would have laughed... said "Copland was good, sure, but Stallone is of a different generation from Bronson and Lee Marvin etc.; he is just an eighties action star." But it is all about staying power, that is what establishes one's legacy... the works of one's maturity. and frankly as someone who is no longer young myself, Rocky Balboa was a very powerful movie, besides being good on its own merits... ahhhh I am drunk and rambling, but anyway I am looking forward to JOHN RAMBO, and I for one think the title is much less important than the movie itself... but I am glad others are so happy about the title staying as John Rambo.
Actually I did think it was the last one by CherryValance	Oct 12th, 2007 04:11:07 PM
That's why I thought JOHN RAMBO was good. Oops. So I take it he still doesn't have black box privileges?

If I had it by godhelpus	Oct 12th, 2007 04:28:39 PM
I would tell Stallone to stick with the other title, it would suck more but would stir more controversy, thus generating more press and general discussion, if the movie kicked ass noone would give a shit about the title, the title "John Rambo" is unfortunately too similar to the idea behind naming the last Rocky film "Rocky Balboa," he not going to appear very imaginative, at the very least, I just think its weak for a true artist to change his work by consensus

Damn Harry, you're like the freakin' puppet master. Good for you. At least, in this case wherein I agree with you. heh heh heh. And thanks :) titles should always reflect tone and understanding and even if they don't, they are read as if they do. which means I wouldnt' have seen this one...

Stallone - The Last Action Hero? by TheNorthlander	Oct 12th, 2007 05:11:22 PM
After seeing that last Willis movie, after Russel's Snake Pliskin and Schwarzenegger's Conan and Terminator are replaced, after Seagal, Van Damme and Snipes have gone to DTV hell, after Jet Li stopped making martial arts epics and Jackie Chan did Rush Hour 3, there's only Stallone left making great movies.
By the way, is Bolo Yeung in Rambo 4? by TheNorthlander	Oct 12th, 2007 05:12:18 PM
He needs to be. That guy is a legend, and the only guy at this point who can be a threat to Rambo.
Sly Rocks by Bob of the Shire	Oct 12th, 2007 05:23:35 PM
Mainly because he actually makes some attempt to connect with his fans. And secondly because John Rambo looks like the best action film of this decade. You know it's a sad time in cinema when you're actually surprised to see an action film where people bleed.
RAMBO: FUCK THE BURMESE by christian66	Oct 12th, 2007 05:28:49 PM
This movie might be huge just so we can cathartically watch Rambo wipe out one of the cruelest corrupt governments on Earth while our actual government does nothing. Boycott CHEVRON as they are the biggest supplier of cash to the evil military there.
Led Zeppelin's To Hell and Back was pretty good though. by TheNorthlander	Oct 12th, 2007 05:30:08 PM
How about Rambo 4: Revenge for Vengence? Or is that too much Seagal?
Thanks Sly! by Roger Thornhill	Oct 12th, 2007 05:42:11 PM
For changing the title and listening to the fans! I can't wait to see this on the big screen.
Hey Sly, you rule! by spud mcspud	Oct 12th, 2007 05:51:10 PM
ROCKY BALBOA showed that the power of Rocky was always in the heart, not the fist. Damn good job sir. And JOHN RAMBO is looking freakin' awesome - you just made a pre-midlife crisis thirtysomething very happy. Now, can you go kick JJ Abrams' ass for even THINKING of casting Simon Pegg as Scotty??? Seriously, WTF?!?!? Then have a chat about integrity to your mate Bruce Willis, for lying to us on the talkbacks and telling us DIE HARD 4 would exceed the greatness of the original. It didn't. Thank you very much. In all seriousness Sly, you the man. Now make DEMOLITION MAN 2! PLEEEEEEASE!!!
while we´re at it... by Wired Earp	Oct 12th, 2007 05:51:34 PM

Sly, I went to see "Oscar" on opening day... by CopOnTheEdge	Oct 12th, 2007 06:23:58 PM
That should tell you how big of a fan I am. With that said, I agree that John Rambo is a good title for all of the reasons Harry named, and once the film opens...no one will remember or care that the original inspiration for it was a marketing hook to ride the success of Rocky Balboa. The film will stand on its own...for good or bad. So just lock the title and concentrate on MAKING THE BEST FILM YOU CAN. Your fans will be there, plus millions of new ones, if your trailers look great (and I'm sure the "viral video" campaign of your gore clips has already created tons of buzz, no need to revisit them or include them in the theatrical trailers, IMHO, they've done their job and you want the "real" trailers and tv spots to have more mainstream relevance, production values and prestige factor to them.) In closing, WRITE AND DIRECT YOUR EDGAR ALLAN POE MOVIE WITH RYAN GOSLING OR ANOTHER SERIOUS YOUNG ACTOR IN THE LEAD ROLE ALREADY!!! (Watch "The Believer" or "Half Nelson" if you haven't already, you gotta tap this guy's talent) Good luck, Sly, love ya!

"Hell and Back" is the title of a very well known Frank Miller Sin City graphic novel. Frank Miller's REALLY hot right now, so avoiding any comparison would be a good idea. Food for thought. Now please go bang whatever hottie you're banging right now.
Good call by KarlH	Oct 12th, 2007 06:33:51 PM
Whether this will be the last Rambo movie or not, jump-starting the franchise after all these years is going to take some serious committment in every conceivable area. A forgettable, half-assed title like "Rambo: To Hell And Back" just won't cut it.
Yup. by SebastianHaff	Oct 12th, 2007 06:37:59 PM
Sly pretty much fucking rules. I love that he brought Rocky back into the real world, ditching cartoonish subplots about Paulie and robots (?). And now it looks as if he's done the same with Rambo, and as long as he stays in this mode, I say keep 'em coming. Cobra, anyone?

"RAMBO" In all capital letters, it is simple and sounds powerful. John Rambo is a good title as well, but it's too much like Rocky Balboa and too personal/serious and nowhere near as powerful. Everyone who grew up with these movies call this character RAMBO and not John Rambo. This is how distinct title can be ruined: JAWS (Killer Jaws), ALIEN (Otherworld Alien), The Fly (Monster Fly), TERMINATOR ( Cyborg Terminator), ROCKY (Rocky's Fight), etc.
Dear Mr Sly by FILMFUNK	Oct 12th, 2007 06:57:00 PM
The very fact things got so vocal around these parts is simply because we have a very deep place in our Hearts for JOHN RAMBO. It's the guy you're going to see, the man the movies revolve around, you're not chuck Norris, it's not Invasion USA! (although that title is class!)It also never struck me as a last bow kind of title, it sounds more like a big ''fuck you! the man is back!'', a character piece, a Hoorah for fucking action movies and a wise move setting it back to what it was. Again, appologies for any hurt caused but we really wouldn't be ragging so much unless we were so passionate and that shows you HOW MUCH WE WAN'T THIS TO BE FUCKING GREAT!!!

Though the footage of the movie looks GREAT and I can't wait to see it... I would go with an actual title instead of just the name. "John Rambo" IS too much like "Rocky Balboa" (I can already hear critics jumping on that)and given the fact that R.B. is the last Rocky film... the title has now been automaticly associated as finality. Go with "Rambo: Blood River". That sounds BADASS! PLEASE don't listen to Harry, Sly!

Sly really messed with the titles to the First Blood franchise. You can't jump from FIRST BLOOD 2 and then to RAMBO 3...doen't make any sense which is why he is struggling with this particular title. I think there is validity in Verns previous comments and I agree John Rambo is to book endish and Hell and Back is too DIrect to Video. In the current cliamte i think SLy should go with the original First Blood title and yse Burma as the sub title as it says it all in the current climate. Also one film i would love to watch from Sly is the return of Cobra. This guy is a cult hero equivalent only to Snake Plisken. Gimme more!! and let's see POE!

STALLONE: DON'T CALL IT JOHN RAMBO = BLEAK BOX OFFICE = call it by TheDohDoh	Oct 12th, 2007 09:21:47 PM
Hey Stallone, I would just like to say that while "To Hell and Back" sounds like a bad WWF title (avoid at all costs) that "John Rambo" will not connect with audiences the same way "Rocky Balboa" did. We don't think of Rambo as a person like Rocky. Rambo is simpy FUCKING RAMBO. Most people don't even know his first name, I swear to god. They'll be confused. Now, I recommend you simply call the flick "RAMBO" in caps. Rambo means war. I know you're not selling only violence, Sly, you're a great actor. But you don't want to think that this Rambo is about growing pains like "Rocky Balboa" was. You and Lionsgate need to think this through. You gave Harry your word, but take it from theDohDoh (I know I know, theDohDoh, shut up) that you need some umph! in that title. You need to connote that you are going to blow fuckers away and not go on a Christian-approved mission into the jungle. My title? Either "RAMBO" or if you gotta pull a colon = "Rambo: Killing for Justice." Yeah, it's slightly funny, but it's what the action genre needs, stated in its bloated, dead face. You'll also have the critics all over you with that "agrees with current administration's tactics" like you had back in the day. Fuck that. Rambo kills for justice. All the best Sly. After "Rocky Balboa" you have my word, I'll be there. You kicked Bruce Willis all to hell by the way. Fuck Die Hard 4. If "RAMBO" is rated PG13 I will not be there. "300" did the business" and "RAMBO" can top Die Hard 4 if done right. Best of luck. TheDohDoh is back. Hi Moriarty.

While it was sensible concluding the Rocky film series for good, I'd love seeing a final 5th Rambo movie, as long as that didn't take as long to get made as Rambo 4 did (granted Mr. Stallone has to obviously wait on the 4th film's international box office figures to come in), but taking Sly's current age into consideration, a 5th film could see the franchise continue (with obviously a name title change) in a spin off film series (especially since there's a G.I. Joe film in the works) having a new, younger military trained / military skilled male protagonist introduced in a final 5th film, to whom Rambo becomes a caring father figure to (but wouldn't necessarily be the character's actual father, so they can go with a stupidly cheesy 'son of Rambo' crap, for the marketing).

RE: Quick Harry, call him back and say you changed your mind by Acquanetta	Oct 12th, 2007 10:52:16 PM
Sly should definitely listen to Vern on this one. John Rambo would be an okay title if this film was anything like Rocky Balboa, and intended as the final statement on the character. But since it's not, it doesn't really fit. I also think Sly was correct in assuming people will regard the title as being derivative. Anyway, it's great to read that Sly wants to do more Rambo films. I'd even like to see a second trilogy that focuses on an older Rambo. It would provide a unique balance to the series and allow Sly to be a modern day version of greats like Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, or John Wayne. An iconic tough guy in his 60's who may be slowing down, but still kicks plenty of ass. Rambo IV already has some pretty decent buzz going for it, and the title should expect this momentum and build upon it with the sequels. "Blood River" isn't a great title, but it does spark my imagination more than any of the previous ones. (It even sounds like something John Wayne might've starred in.) I also like the fact that it gets "Blood" back in the title- which is something that feels far more appropriate for this film than the quiet simplicity of "John Rambo".

I'll be at Rambo opening night just like I was at Rocky Balboa. While other studios rape and pillage our childhoods with remakes, you make us remember what we loved so much about our favorite films to begin with. Stallone, you are the man.

I'm not getting on this bandwagon by Sheeld	Oct 13th, 2007 04:50:28 AM
Sorry, Sly looks like he's a cool guy and all, but he's a bad filmmaker. I'm astounded by all the love Rocky Balboa has received on this site, when it's such a shallow, implausible and, above all, cheesy retreat of the first film. It's very obvious how the fans on this site - contributors and talkbackers alike - were starstruck by the attention Sly paid to the site and the community and didn't dare criticize the movie for what it was. And it's happening all over again with John Rambo. That trailer wasn't good people; it looked like a terribly strained effort to appeal to the bullshit R-rated actionmongers, with ridiculous OTT violence, which again probably will result in an empty, shallow retreat of the first film, tailor-made for the crazy fanboys who care more about someone's head being blown off graphically than about actual story and character development. I couldn't care less what this is called, although John Rambo makes it sound like a real character based film, and I'll be very surprised if this has any true depth to it at all - so Blood River would probably be a better fit. I hope I'm wrong, but based on Sly's previous record as a director, I sincerely doubt it.
Thanks Sly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by geodesigns	Oct 13th, 2007 05:00:02 AM

This is to you Sly. Basically i believe you could call it whatever you want! I think your latest hit ROCKY BALBOA and the forthcoming JOHN RAMBO movie are directed at the fans and the fans alone will give you their support to make it a box-office success, no need to recruit newcomers you are already a movie icon with a massive band of followers worldwide! The Rocky and Rambo movies are legendary and any true fan of them and yourself will go see them regardless of the title and storyline!!! This was proved by the sheer amount of traffic on this site when you did your Q&A (The site has never been the same since) And yes do ignore the majority of talkbackers on here as they just come to stir things up to gain negative attention! I am what I call a true fan I will watch whatever you put out there and will enjoy it! THANKS MR STALLONE for a lifetime of entertainment, you are a GENUINE MOVIE LEGEND UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THEM!!!

This story is less about John Rambo... by zacdilone	Oct 13th, 2007 09:22:27 AM

a better idea for the next Rambo movie... by Frank Black	Oct 13th, 2007 09:42:34 AM
Stallone should get a real bunch of Navy Seals and special ops soldiers together and secretly invade Myanmar and free Aung San Suu Kyi with a documentary crew. Now, that is a movie I want to see! F*cking Bush and his supposed zero tolerance for brutal dictators couldn't invade Myanmar and overthrow that evil regime and actually do something useful in his presidency before he leaves? Oh, not enough oil there? C`mon Stallone, you can do it! FREE BURMA!

I love the title 'JOHN RAMBO' by cyclo	Oct 13th, 2007 10:05:39 AM
Why? Because the title is impossible to mock. Every other title I've seen has the potential to lend itself to mockery, except for the dignified title 'John Rambo.' Sounds like a brand name all the way... and a serious one at that. Isn't that what John Rambo is? A brand name action hero. The name alone sells and having the serious mock-proof title 'John Rambo' lends the character and the subject matter some immediate respect.
Rambo Schmambo... by RetroActive	Oct 13th, 2007 10:09:09 AM
the first one had a point. Beyond that, we're talking about this because... Gimme a break! This will blow regardless of the title.
Rambo by Wrath4771	Oct 13th, 2007 10:11:46 AM
I loved the first movie and the second one was a good Saturday afternoon blow up movie. The third one thankfully I have forgotten, but after seeing the trailer for John Rambo, I'm interested in this movie. Now, not that I've never been burned by a trailer before, but this movie seems to have a real plot and the action looks brutal. I hope I'm right.
Could he just change his first name? by tonagan	Oct 13th, 2007 10:14:38 AM
"John" is sort of dull. Might as well call him Barry Rambo, or Tim Rambo.
Barry Rambo sounds like a porn star by liljuniorbrown	Oct 13th, 2007 11:20:43 AM
Thats classic. Anyways I look forward ro seeing this movie an d Sly's right, if John Wayne can be a bad ass even late in the game then why not Rambo? Being a bad ass doesn't end when your thirty five, Stallone, Bruce Willis,Kurt Russell, and evn Arnie are all still capable of being bad asses.
I love Sly, but he's gotta stop his mediatic double standard BS by SpencerTrilby	Oct 13th, 2007 11:44:26 AM
Every time I read/hear him talking about John Rambo in the US media (AICN included), he's always trying to convince us that it'a a labor of love; his new, post-BALBOA take on John J. The latest example being this title change, as he "doesn't feel it's Rambo's last chapter", or whatever he says. Now, every time he's asked about John Rambo in foreign media (especially in Europe, where the Rambo trilogy has been incredibly panned and misjuged - thanks to both Sly's 80's megalomania and ol'Ronnie) he's adamant how John Rambo is a movie he DIDN'T wanted to make, how he was forced to do it due to contractual obligations. That's this schizophrenic BS that's bothering me, when applied to the trailers released so far: looks like Sly is both trying to make a serious, topical flick and at the same time goes really TOO MUCH over the top with the gore and blood splatters. Like a big-budget Chuck Norris flick. I really hope Our Man Sly will put his shit together, stop using AICN as a poll to figure out the lowest common denominator to get our asses on the theater on opening night and come up with a coherent, serious, final Rambo movie. End up with a BANG, and move on another part of his career. Rocky Balboa was great because it was a tight flick, focused and mature.
STALLONE --this is ABKING ---here is a GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! by ABking	Oct 13th, 2007 11:44:32 AM
Sly, if both you and LIONSGATE agree to make more RAMBO films after JOHN RAMBO...THIS IS WHAT you can do...I see this as a new begining and start to a NEW TRILOGY OF RAMBO FILMS...so you can call them this -- JOHN RAMBO (2008); JOHN RAMBO: Incert Title (for 2011) and then JOHN RAMBO: Incert Title (for 2014)! Now this is an idea I hope you like! ;)

Once again... by jimmy rabbitte	Oct 13th, 2007 12:13:15 PM
...Sly has SCHOOLED "Bee-dub" on how to communicate with the fans... I'm looking forward to JOHN RAMBO, I hope it's as good as the preliminary footage suggests. Unfortunately I wasn't able to say the same for Live Free or Die Quietly in Your Sleep; and it's too bad because I wanted to like the film going in. However, it ended up feeling too watered down. "Die HARD," you say?... more like, "Take this double dose of salt peter and call back in the morning." Worst line reading in a film this year: Kevin Smith-- "You're a fan of the Fett?" ...aging hipsterism is truly a sorry site to behold. ...Wait... What's this thing I'm standing on?... a soap-box?... How'd I get up here?... I'm outta here...

Ab King might be onto something by Bobo_Vision	Oct 13th, 2007 12:21:09 PM
I think the Rambo movies should literally be called, "John Rambo: Insert Title". And kept that way. No changes. Only the year will be added on afterwards.
RE: Call it 'The Blood of John Rambo' by Acquanetta	Oct 13th, 2007 12:33:56 PM
"The Blood of John Rambo." "The Blood of Rambo." Actually, that suggestion ain't half bad. Not bad at all. I also have to admit that I've never liked the title John Rambo for Rambo IV. It just doesn't really fit with the rest of the series. However, upon reflection, if this is going to be a rebirth for the character and franchise, then it does change my opinion of it. It's been too long for this film to just fit easily alongside the previous three. You can't disassociate those films from the 1980's, just as you can't replace Richard Crenna by adding a different actor in a uniform. But to take the same character/franchise and create a new series of films 20 years later would be pretty cool. You could have John Rambo, with something like The Blood of John Rambo making a great follow-up. (Or, even better, The Blood and Guts of John Rambo. I'd pay double the admission price to see a film with that title!) It reminds me of those pulpy titles Hammer used to come up with for their films: Taste the Blood of Dracula; Dracula Has Risen From the Grave; etc. There's also a bluntness to the name John Rambo that I do like. Sort've like Matt Helm. You can almost hear people saying, "The Rambo films kicked ass...those John Rambo films were pretty hardcore too." Same actor. Same character. But a series of films that works as a complete saga, or two distinct trilogies.

This movie is like an AICN Choose Your Own Adventure by Bobo_Vision	Oct 13th, 2007 01:03:47 PM
Whatever the AICN talkbackers want, Stallone is giving. They wanted more violence from action movies, so he cut some really violent trailers. They want the title changed back. Done. Is it too late to have a bare-hand kung fu fight with Tony Jaa? Schedule some re-shoots.
"PLEASE" stick with John Rambo Sly ! by 2Sheds	Oct 13th, 2007 01:15:36 PM
Sly, if your reading, stick with John Rambo. Its subtle, its understated, its direct and it hits home. Also, frankly, titles with subtitles are becoming a bit of a pill. Take the path of originality, PLEASE.

The January 25th date is fast approaching! As for the titles for possible futue films...either stick to the JOHN RAMBO: Incert Title approach or do the RAMBO: Incert Title Approach a la RAMBO: TO HELL AND BACK...the next one RAMBO: ON AMERICAN SOIL (something like that)...YOU GET THE DRIFT!

The real burning question by ArcadianDS	Oct 13th, 2007 02:34:16 PM
Does John Rambo know how to use the seashells? This morning I was lying in bed deciding whether I should use the toilet or just soil the sheets and lay in it all day when my phone rang: it was my boss and he was all 'holy mother of pearl get your ass to work right now' and I said 'okay but i have GOT to use the toilet first' I leaned over and nuzzled Kurt Russel and he was laughing so I guess it was okay.

Give the man an academy award! Stallone, you rock!!! I never thoguht 'John Rambo' was a last one or anything thoguh I'd honestly not considered there'd be more after this. But the title is hardcore! Just the letter in simple guerilla font in red on the title screen screams "AWESOME!" Anyway if there is another sequel I'm sure we can think up a god title like 'Rambo: Next Blood' or something or it doesn't even necessarily have to have 'Rambo' in the title just think of something cool! Something relevant to the story but sounds badass, then all we do is use 'Rambo is back' or something in the tagline with a large impressive picture of you with a bazooka, just like those old school action movie posters!

John Rambo is cool. by solitaryman	Oct 13th, 2007 07:46:37 PM
First of all I think some of the previous posts have me convinced some of you are crack babies. Why is there such a big deal about the name? Why are people ANALizing it to death? Why do some of you feel the need to make fun of it and come up with stupid alternative names? What are you ? 5? John Rambo sounds good to me. When I first heard it was being called that way back when the teaser trailer was first out I thought 'cool'. Never thought anything of it sounding final or anything. If he wants to make more films with this character that's cool too. Someone previous suggested it was a good restart for the series i.e. John Rambo: insert line here (something like that. I don't know if I got that right but it was a good post). I think in the end whatever Sly decides to call it, it'll be good. It's the movie I'm excited about seeing. I don't really care alot about the title. Just want to be first in line when it opens in my town. If your reading this Mr Stallone ..kudos to you for still being able to do these films. Kudos for showing up the people who say you're too old. You'll never be too old. You're probably in way better shape then most of the people on this site. Thanks for coming back and making these movies. I say right on! Keep it coming. Thanks for caring about your fans. Come on people let's get behind the movie and not get hung up on the name. Stallone knows what he's doing.

I hope it's called "RAMBO", Mr. Stallone hear me out... by invictus005	Oct 13th, 2007 11:09:28 PM
I'm glad you agree with me TheDohDoh. Mr. Stallone, trust me on this, call it RAMBO. John Rambo sounds weak! Imagine going to the theater and ordering tickets: "Three tickets to RAMBO please! Motherfucking RAMBO!!!"
More thoughts why it should be called "RAMBO" by invictus005	Oct 13th, 2007 11:21:36 PM
The character in the first three movies was always referred to as RAMBO. "Rambo, John Jay?" "You're making a mistake. Yeah what mistake? Rambo!" Me and my brother during the 80's always pretended to be RAMBO and act out the movies. We never said John Rambo. Who the fuck is John? We were RAMBO! I hope you read this Mr. Stallone, or Harry if you read it please pass it along to Stallone so at least he could consider it. In the end, Stallone should call it what he wants, it's his movie. We all just have opinions.
John Rambo by huggerorange	Oct 13th, 2007 11:28:19 PM
John Rambo sounds perfect although in the end it could be called "x" and it wouldnt matter as long as the movie was fun and memorable. Example: Rambo 3, I loved rambo 3, it is my favorite in the series and the title is as simple as it can get! I remember stallone shoving fucking gun powder in a bullet wound and lighting it up to cauterize it!!...Scenes of bad assness like that are what make me forget about movie titles, they're kind of besides-the-point.
Keep it titled "John Rambo!" by Rindain	Oct 13th, 2007 11:56:58 PM
Definitely a good thing to draw comparison to Rocky Balboa. Plus it is a respectable, non-cheesy title for a sure to be awesome film.
invictus005 by TheNorthlander	Oct 14th, 2007 02:17:41 AM
Yeah, because if the movie is called "John Rambo" and is the sequel to the other three Rambo movies and Stallone is in it, and you walk up to the ticket counter and say "I want a ticket to Rambo!", they're not gonna know what movie you're talking about! It'll be total confusion! The end of all we know!

God Damn, Harry. You got some clout, huh? by theycallmemrglass	Oct 14th, 2007 10:43:31 AM
mighty impressive. Mind you I was having enormous phun with the title piss taking on the previous related post. To Hell and Back was really too cheesy but I also dont think it should be called John Rambo. It makes the film sound too poignant. Thats not what a Rambo film is about. Rocky Balboa is differtent, poignancy is part of Rocky but not RAMBO the great muddafukka of a really pissed off nam war veteran. No, for Rambo, you need a subtext title. You dont see Spielberg calling his new indy film, just Indiana Jones because its about his frign journey. Fuck the journey shit, Spielberg knows we want to see Indy in his element no matter how long its been or how old he's gotten, we wanna see Indy kicking baddies butt. So we get Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Spielberg is makingg the movie for us and I am sold on it. So I want to see Rambo in his element not on his Journey (I dont mind his journey being told as an additional depth to his character, all the better) but this is still about Rambo kicking ass. So give it a title that will attract us to knowing Rambo is the shit, he's pissed off again, he's going to shout HUUURRGGGHH only this time hes that bit older and he's learnt a few more tricks to overcome the deficiencies that age generally brings. Give me Rambo:Blood River, not John Rambo a psychological drama of insight into a veteran's mind. I like Stallones suggestion of Rambo: Blood River - that title rocks for me, that would get my bum on the seat of my local cinema. Sly, dont listen to Harry, your execs or even us talkbackers, go with yout first fukking instinct, man, go with RAMBO:BLOOD RIVER. Man, the more I repeat it, the more I dig that title.
That's exactly what the title means to me Harry by wato	Oct 14th, 2007 11:09:27 AM
Not that anyone will ever read this in the sea of talkbacks, but Harry I have to say that naming the film John Rambo meant to me exactly what Sly feared it would mean to me. I basically thought this was the last Rambo movie and was being named in a similar fashion to Rocky Balboa as Sly's farewell to this character. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Now that I know this may not be the last Rambo movie I'm still OK with the title. I actually like it. So I suppose it doesn't matter either way. I just wanted to put it out there that the name did mean "goodbye Rambo" to me. Especially on the heels of Rocky Balboa.
I see the title "JOHN RAMBO" meaning the return, not the end... by cyclo	Oct 14th, 2007 12:05:33 PM
It's just a name, man, and seeing that name means HE'S BACK. So forget the straight-to-video B movie title suggestions. This is an A movie featuring a brand name character, so give the movie the respectability it deserves by calling it JOHN RAMBO. What this movie needs more than anything is a mock-proof title and JOHN RAMBO is it!

Blood river does sound good...At this point ill take rambo:blood river or john rambo. Which ever title sums up the movie the best will do. Isn't that the point anyway, the title should have to do with the main idea of a film? So who are we to say what the title should be? Unless youve already seen the movie or read the script, which id say almost none of the people in here have.

Should be: Rambo, John J. by KryptonsLastSon	Oct 14th, 2007 05:29:09 PM
I always thought it would be a cool title to have it listed like in a service file: lastname, first name middle initial. Therefore "Rambo, John J." just seems right to me. It also hearkens back to a line in the original film. Sly if you're trolling this, maybe this works? Oh and are we going to have a huge Q&A with Sly for this film like we did with Balboa? Kudos for Balboa, a great retrun to the character with minimal schmalz. I'm glad you didn't go with the alternate ending to the fight on the DVD too, waaaaaayyyy too convenient.

Why is it a bad thing? or Why are talkbackers retarded? by dr sauch	Oct 15th, 2007 09:02:31 AM
Why is the similarity between ROCKY BALBOA and JOHN RAMBO as titles off-putting? Thats the first thing that jumped into my head, "oh man, sly stallone is going to bring back Rambo like he brought back Rocky". Also, why why why do come of you feel the need to slam Harry and Stallone? Why is it that some idiots get their rocks off talking anonymous shit about the guy who brought you this site and the guy who is actually concerned about what we think of his movie (so much so that he's consulting Harry about the fucking title)? The internet is the worst place ever. I wish this site was a club, with a real meeting place with real people, so that these morons would have to speak their retarded opinions aloud to real humans. Also, Sly, I loooooved Rocky Balboa and I cannot wait to see John Rambo. Great title.

For the life of me, I can't tell why people don't recognize how good that movie is. A great, great, drawing room comedy. Marisa Tomei was brilliant, and I could watch the scenes with the Fenucci's on continuous loop. Plus, any movie that exploits the comic genius of Kurtwood "Red" Smith deserves notice. Oh, and did I mention it's got Kirk Douglas slapping Sly around? I'm gonna watch that movie tonight, dammit.

Good to hear about the title by tylermo	Oct 15th, 2007 10:12:17 AM
It's a simple title that implies a personal journey as some have said. I hope we see some of that. That action sequences look pretty good, but I hope we get some sort of deep story as well. Free of one-liners. hehe BTW, I kept expectations low with Rocky Balboa, and was pleasantly surprised. A great book end film. Didn't surpass the first two films, but was at least on par with, or better than three. Definately surpassed 4 and 5. Best of luck with John Rambo. I'll be there.

Yes weapons of mass destruction will be found by Rambo hidden in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and no George, Tony Blair will not be making a cameo.

It has to be called John Rambo by Neo Zeed	Oct 15th, 2007 06:21:28 PM
The kneejerk critics are all ready to pounce on this movie. Calling it John Rambo is the only way to diffuse that negativity. It's a hit then a sequel will have a good chance of getting greenlit. Then later the critics will probably bitch thinking Stallone insinuated that John Rambo was the last one...but fuck them. Sly can cross that bridge when he comes to it. Get a hit movie now and worry later about the haters
RAMBO, JOHN J. by SpiralSpin	Oct 15th, 2007 06:40:42 PM
This is clearly the perfect title for the film, especially if its intent is to reintroduce the character to modern audiences.
Hey SLY< remember me? by GibsonUSA	Oct 15th, 2007 10:08:42 PM
I think consideration should be given to a title with the word "BOUND" in it. Cause isnt that what is pretty much what Rambo is?....Bound...bound by his past, his methods, his memories, etc.
JOHN RAMBO : Fires of Liberation by GibsonUSA	Oct 15th, 2007 10:13:52 PM
Yes I took that from Ace Combat, but it sounds so cool.
RAMBO: Fires of Liberation by GibsonUSA	Oct 15th, 2007 10:19:14 PM
There. That sounds better. No "John" and no "IV" either. By the way Sly, this is GibsonUSA Returns, if you remember me...since I have returned theres no need for the Returns no more.

KEEP "JOHN RAMBO"! by FleshMachine	Oct 17th, 2007 08:43:18 AM
it's fine...more personal, more serious, more charater driven, less cliche and exploitational. and if it recalls "rocky balboa" all the better.
a bit self-congratulatory, Harry, but you are wise by Rupee88	Oct 17th, 2007 12:25:30 PM
Your logic is sound on this one...I don't care about the Rambo movies, but at least it won't have a retarded title.
Amazing isn't it by vadersmyfather	Oct 17th, 2007 03:02:13 PM
Who'd have thought it, the name changes and Stallone rings Harry who pursuades the big guy to change it back to Rambo. Harry saves the day. Almost as though the name was never changed in the first instance, eh.

What would the sequel to John Rambo be called? by GibsonUSA	Oct 17th, 2007 04:57:15 PM
Just "John Rambo:(subtitle)" ? I think that'd be dumb. Has there been research done on how many people out there actually know Rambo's first name is John? John Rambo is a great name but I would personally just have it "RAMBO" in the big red font then something attached. Nostalgia and fond memories of the original movies seems extremely important from a selling point here, which is why it was genious to have Rocky Balboa's poster play off the first Rocky poster. Rambo needs to do the same, in my opinion, both in terms of name and presentation/promotion.

I still agree with you Harry, that "John Rambo" is a cooler title, but he suits decided that "Rambo" is more marketable, so there it goes..
On second though "John Rambo" is probably the best one. by GibsonUSA	Oct 18th, 2007 02:28:16 PM
I was just looking ahead to sequels and what they would be called. And yeah, how the average Joe Schmo would precieve the "John" part.

I really did not like the Hell and Back title. John Rambo is much better. I can't wait it is so good to see you again, finally!
Hi Stallone! by StallonesBones	Oct 21st, 2007 07:37:35 PM
Hey Sly! I hope you had a good weekend. Do you happen to know when we will be saying an offical trailer or teaser for RAMBO?
"John Rambo" was a ridiculous name... by BigTuna	Oct 22nd, 2007 05:17:32 PM
It worked fine for "Rocky Balboa", but doing it for Rambo just seems very silly.
rambo is the better title by Big_Nutz	Oct 25th, 2007 09:58:38 AM
an added subtitle would have been cool though
