I know I wasn’t the only one shocked to see footage from JOHN RAMBO, Sylvester Stallone’s second attempt at regaining past glory by bringing one of his two most iconic character (the other being that boxer guy). And I’m not talking about the extreme violence. I’m talking about seeing an elderly Stallone with long hair, acting in a role that is usually reserved for people half his age. But then again, this is one of those things where no matter how old you are, it kinda works. Stallone is Rambo. I’m sure when Arnold returns for TERMINATOR 7, we won’t even flinch. It’s called being ‘iconic’, try it some time.
But I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have called this fourth installment JOHN RAMBO because Lionsgate has just announced a name change, and it’s…wait for it…wait for it…RAMBO TO HELL AND BACK. Why they decided to change a simple, emphatic title for one containing a cliché, I’ll never know. But really, who cares what it’s called? This is RAMBO 4, and that’s that. It comes out on January 25th.
