Stallone Apparently Immortal / More Rambo To Come
Obviously no longer concerned about his age thanks to the fountain of youth/muscles known as human growth hormone, Sylvester Stallone is planning away at more action movie work to come. Stallone has just signed a deal with Nu Image/Millenium to star and direct in two more action films that the Hollywood Reporter estimates could begin filming as soon as the fall. And if that’s not enough for ya, how about ANOTHER RAMBO MOVIE.
In a great interview with Reuters’ magazine, Stallone reveals he’s not satisfied with merely making what he describes as “the bloodiest R film (for) a generation” and is gearing up for more if the current Rambo continues to do well. He states he’d like to take the series in a darker direction next. Like maybe, fighting a war himself in real life and video taping it?
Not as big of a stretch as you might think, given the film’s growing cult status in war-torn Myanmar where the film itself takes place. Banned by the police, bootlegs of the film are flying all over the place as rebels take heart with lines from the film like “Live for nothing. Die for something.” Stallone himself seems ready to lead them against the human-rights oppresors, stating in the same Reuter’s interview:
“These incredibly brave people have found, kind of a voice, in a very odd way, in American cinema… They’ve actually used some of the film’s quotes as rallying points…I’m only hoping that the Burmese military, because they take such incredible offence to this, would call it lies and scurrilous propaganda. Why don’t you invite me over?”
Stallone goes on to state he’d love to take a tour of the country without a gun to his head, or to even debate the subject in front of Washington. At 61, Stallone is ready to take on more fights than most 20 year olds.
Give ‘em hell, RAMBO!

Whatever happened to cross-overs? I used to love cross-overs! Remember when the Jetsons met the Flintstones? I don’t remember EXACTLY when that happened since I wasn’t born yet, but I can ALMOST fathom the exciting and energy that the community most of felt when said event happened.
Alright, here’s what I’m getting at – an all-out Stallone crossover. Take Stallone as Rambo and Stallone as Gabe Walker from “Cliffhanger” and throw them onto a big fucking mountain in a tropical environment. As if that isn’t exciting enough, we throw in Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd from “Judge Dredd” who some how got his hands on a Spacemachine and is sent back in time to fight Rocky Balboa who’ll be played as, you guessed it – Will Smith (since in the future, everyone is black).
Suggested tag line: “Rambo is back, and this time he’s hangin’ off future Space cliffs while training to fight Future Balboas; the Dredded fight of future fighting.”
brilliant! your producer’s guild award is being forged in the metalworks as we speak.
I wish Stallone would start producing and selling his own brand of HGH. I’d buy it. Seriously, if this stuff helps me lop of some guy’s head with one swing of my knife I’ll get a membership over at Sam’s Club so I can buy that shit in bulk.
mmmmm…….HGH goodness.
