Was Rambo 4 really worth a damn? I didn't bother seeing it.

If so, then I will tentatively say, "Yes, this sounds cool."

With awesome super coolness, should he be bitten and come back in Rambo 6 AS a Werewolf.

AICN also has an interesting voice mail from Stallone as he tries to explain it's not Rambo vs Super Soldier, it's Rambo vs Savage Man Beast.

The poster looks like a photoshopped straight to VHS release cover. Maybe the movie'll be cool, but the poster is ... meh...

As for Rambo IV, I enjoyed it. But I also learned that making a drinking game based on taking a drink every time someone dies in that movie is a very, very bad idea.

This is fairly insane especially when you consider that the original "first blood" was a relatively low key and even somewhat thoughtful movie about PTSD and how the US treats ts veterans. The last Rambo, like the last rocky, was a fairly straightforward, unpretentious affair that made you think "hey, guess if they had to make a new one that's the best they could do." but genetically engineered werewolves? Ehhh it'd be like if mickeys ghost appeared and dragged rocky into the afterlife and made him fight his way through historys greatest evil doers...by which I mean awesome, but a little too "written by an 8 year old" for my liking.

THIS MOVIE MUST BE MADE NOW.

This feels totally fabricated and I have a feeling someone accidentally bought into a hoax. Just look at that "teaser" poster, it's clearly a terrible terrible photoshop job. Something tells me someone is laughing their ass off right now that this "story" got as much coverage as it did.

Sounds like the script for a bad 8-bit Rambo video game where nothing makes sense in the game and just plain doesn't belong. Come on people, you remember all those "faithful" movie themed video games for the NES!

Holy cow. I thought my idea of Jet Li fighting Michael Myers in Halloween III was a great idea (http://bit.ly/8XRMK), but this is a freaking insane good idea.

Sounds like they took a script for a generic "military building werewolves" movie that had been sitting on the shelf for years and changed the lead character's name from "Jack" to "Rambo."

I'm with Monkey boy. IF this is real, it's so far from the original book it's insane. I would be willing to bet someone came up with the super-soldier idea and then to make it marketable they threw Rambo into the mix.

I liked this plot when it was called Metal Gear Solid. Now that would be a kick ass movie!

This has "Snakes on a Plane" meme potential all over it.

Smells like Uwe Boll if you ask me (which you shouldn't, because I've seen Far Cry and survived to tell the tale.)

Oh, I'm definitely going to see this. If it gets made, though. I'm not quite convinced.

I think this is a horrible idea. After 4 movies they want to change Rambo's genre? I like Rambo, and I like werewolves, but I have no desire seeing the two mixed, it would just seem ridiculous. And why would they seek out Rambo to fight these things when his face and muscles now look like they are melting??

Wasn't there some Scottish Soldiers vs Werewolves movie already made? Seems like I caught that on cable once.

Jebus, there's no way that's the teaser poster, it looks like a shit n' puke omelet.

@LAY

Youre thinking of Dog Soldiers and that was damn fine.

LAY: You are correct--the film you're thinking of is called "Dog Soldiers", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280609/.

Sounds like Universal Soldier: The Return.

I smell hoax all over this one. Sly IS making at least one more Rambo film, but I am pretty certain that there will be no werewolves involved. Though I have to say, I'm not really sure what's left for him to do. Unless they have him fighting gangs and drug dealer in an urban setting, but that's just a rehash of the Death Wish films.

At any rate, I doubt we will ever see supernatural or superhuman antagonists in a Rambo film.

Doc

When I first heard about this, I tried really hard to not like it, because the very idea is ridiculous. But then I realised that it's Rambo vs Werewolf. That's awesome, no matter how ridiculous.

@popbunker has the scoop on the source material for Rambo V. Sly has owned the rights to James Byron Huggins' "Hunter" for years. http://bit.ly/x3gxb Looks like it is adapted to be a Rambo movie. Great fun book.

If they where gonna go that route, why not bring Predator. Predator vs Rambo: Ultimate 80's Wet dream.

Wherewolves(if that's really what's going on here) I don't know.

That poster looks like a fake. Anyways, if this isn't a hoax, its Rambo and werewolves, how could you go wrong(it inst like the Rambo films were serious to begin with, First Blood being the exception). Dog Soldiers already proved the soldiers vs werewolves formula could work quite well.

I heard that Rambo V is supposed to take place in the USA like First Blood did. That's the whole reason he returns to his family's homestead at the end of Rambo IV. I'm hoping it's a pretty kick ass movie of mayhem in the US streets.

I'm not against the Werewolves idea so long as it's not in the continuity of the actually Rambo storyline. Some kind of side story or a what-if thing would be fine.

I mean the idea of Rambo slaughtering a shitload of werewolves would be fucking awesome. Maybe he could team up with Commando (John Matrix) and the two of them could just land in the Underworld and just slaughter vampires and werewolves until the zombies rise to fight them in the sequel.

This is like if they made a sequel to The Thing from Another World, with all the Air Force characters in their later careers fighting Viet Cong incursions into Laos in the mid 60s. With no aliens.

I mean, even if you could do it well, why the hell would someone even want to do it? It's just flabbergasting.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We're all just dancing around what we REALLY want (and didn't know it)...

RAMBO VS. PREDATOR

You know it. I know it. Rambo knows it. The ultimate soldier versus the ultimate hunter.

After that, I think the world owes us the following:

RAMBO VS. ALIENS
RAMBO VS. TERMINATOR
RAMBO VS. ROBOCOP
RAMBO VS. ASH
RAMBO VS. JASON
RAMBO VS. SNAKE PLISSKEN
and
RAMBO VS. DRACULA

I'm sorry, I just can't believe this. Must be some kind of a prank or maybe a publicity stunt.

This certainly sounds cringeworthy to me.

I think this sequel should be called Rambo V: Man Alive featuring Hulk Hogan as the baddie...

"To all my love pups out there: The Big Dog is here, eating your flesh, brother."

This movie will only work if Rambo is called back to duty, but he doesn't want to go, and then he goes.
Then Rambo will be bitten during the final battle so he becomes a werewolf. So now we've got an 82 year old, steroid-ripped, PTSD, headband wearing werewolf running around.
That I would go see.

If the poster is to be believed, I can't wait to see the werewolves' ridiculous overbites.

Its BS, that picture of Rambo is taken from Rambo IV at the end of the climatic battle with the Burmese army.

fwiw - those reading and claiming bs wrt the green light of this concept... well, Sly himself left a voice mail at a very large entertainment blog explaining the concept. So, yeah, Stallone confirms.

Screw werewolves! Rambo should really be hunting down the evil bastards that "engineered" his mother Jackie Stallone to where she looks like a transvestite version of Michael Myers from Halloween.

....what?

What do I think?

I think the wolf in the background is a merely a metaphor for the essence of hunting, or being hunted....

...and that you're a fucking idiot who assumes too damn much about werewolves for absolutely no logical reason, based simply on a fucking poster.
