After months of speculation, Sylvester Stallone has finally announced the title for the fifth (and seemingly final) “Rambo” movie, “Rambo: Last Blood.”

The actor simply tweeted earlier this week that he’ll be filming a gangster biopic about Gregory “the Grim Reaper” Scarpa after shooting “Rambo: Last Blood.”

 

[FallingEdge]

finally

Should be fantastic.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

excellent.

 

[ohhthegore]

Fuck yes I can't wait! Last one was sooooo badass

 

[SJRB]

I hope he gives them a war they won't believe.

And I hope he goes back to 'Nam.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Last blood? Haha, that's great because it's terrible.

 

[Ravijn]

I thought he was shooting the new Rocky movie this year?

Edit - Nevermind. Read the bottom of the linked article.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Jesus.....

Thy should have called it "old blood"

 

[RandyBobandy]

As long as it's R and he doesn't pussy out like he did on Expendables. Since the last Rambo movie was actually good

 

[Mr. Sam]

Did people enjoy the last one? I saw about an hour of it and then got distracted by, I dunno, some tin foil or something.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Can't wait for all the CG blood and gore.

 

[strafer]

But...but...that ending...

He better die in this one.

 

[Delta Assault]

...So I guess he's not leaving it open for a sequel.

 

[Shredderi]

I thought the last Rambo film was really good. Kinda excited for this actually.

 

[Iadien]

...So I guess he's not leaving it open for a sequel.

Last Blood Part II.

He seems to have realized that making Expendables PG-13 was a mistake. So this should be R, and hopefully as bloody as the last one.

 

[Chichikov]

Last Blood?
Come on sculli, you're better than th... wait, that's the real title?
LOL

Did people enjoy the last one? I saw about an hour of it and then got distracted by, I dunno, some tin foil or something.

I thought it was pretty bad, but then again, I don't think any of the Rambo movies outside the First Blood were particularly good.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Can't wait for Rambo: Last Blood 2: The Coagulation

 

[Tansut]

But...but...that ending...

He better die in this one.

Yeah, this is what bugs me about the most about the upcoming sequel. Stallone actually did a great job of sending off Rambo in the last one, so another installment seems weird.

 

[SalvaPot]

Last Blood Part II.

You heard it here first folks.

 

[thesuperfunk]

The last Rambo was so forgettable, hopefully this one turns out better.

 

[Hiltz]

He's making another Rambo film? Cool. I've enjoyed those films, especially the first Rambo and the sequel.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

It better be rated R, the last Rambo made it cool again.

 

[Mr Swine]

it should have Arnie as the villain in this one!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Nice. Loved the last Rambo, hope this is similarly graphic.

Stallone will be returning to another familiar franchise this month. He also tweeted that he’s headed to Philadelphia to play Rocky Balboa for the seventh time in director Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.” He’ll play the trainer of Apollo Creed’s grandson, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan. Coogler last directed Jordan in 2013’s critically acclaimed “Fruitvale Station.”

Huh, I'm down for this. Feels like a natural progression for the character.

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck yes.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah, this is what bugs me about the most about the upcoming sequel. Stallone actually did a great job of sending off Rambo in the last one, so another installment seems weird.

"They killed his parents and kicked his dog..


..now he will kill them and all they love..


RAMBO"

 

[industrian]

Are they still using that idea about him having to fight a genetically-enhanced supersoldier?

Or what about that idea I heard of Rambo having to face one of his old Mujahideen allies who is now a terrorist?

 

[-MD-]

Awesome.

I've only seen the one from a few years ago and loved it, I should watch the older ones.

 

[Marion Cobretti]

But...but...that ending...

He better die in this one.

I totally agree with this. That ending was perfect.

Although more Rambo is never a bad thing.

 

[HyperZone<3]

Use a Steadycam

 

[Mr. Sam]

I thought it was pretty bad, but then again, I don't think any of the Rambo movies outside the First Blood were particularly good.

Same boat.

 

[Ridley327]

That's a really neat way to close the book on that character.

I think the last word on this was that he'll be fighting the Mexican cartels back in America. A more highly armed then usual vigilante thriller was the idea I think.

so Death Wish meets, well, Rambo, I suppose.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

That's a really neat way to close the book on that character.

Yup, exactly what I was thinking.

Should have happened in Rocky Balboa really, but at least they got their eventually.

 

[ElTopo]

John Rambo part 2: Last Blood part 1.

 

[TheJLC]

Exploder: Evacuator Part III

 

[Doc Az]

Honestly more excited by the Rocky sequel than anything else, because then at least he's playing a character that could actually exist. Stallone is too old to play Rambo now, honestly. The last one was enjoyable, but even then I thought he was too old.

Also ho-boy that title.

 

[Flappy]

It had better be Johnny Vs Cops again.

 

[Link0080]

Rambo AND Creed next year? Can't fucking wait!

 

[jett]

I didn't like the last one, but I'm still somewhat interested in this one. First Blood is legitimately great though.

 

[RustyNails]

First blood is goat rambo. Everything else has been terribad.

Is this one still about the Mexican cartels?

 

[odiin]

Sounds good, but this series has to have the most inconsistent naming convention ever.

First Blood, Rambo: First Blood 2, Rambo 3, Rambo, Rambo: Last Blood

Stallone could have easily made Rambo into big boss kind of figure and marry The Expendables arc by creating a type of Outer haven/military ops base in the middle of Africa. I mean the expendables is already militaries sans frontieres. All you need is your good ol US of A government as a primary antagonist. They already fucked him over in First blood.

 

[jstripes]

 

[Moaradin]

The last one ended perfectly though...

I hope he doesn't do this for Rocky.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Can't be any worse than the previous one, can it?

 

[Blader]

Sounds good, but this series has to have the most inconsistent naming convention ever.

First Blood, Rambo: First Blood 2, Rambo 3, Rambo, Rambo: Last Blood

I think F&F has it beat:

The Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fast & Furious
Fast Five
Fast & Furious 6 (or: Furious 6)
Furious 7

 

[AuthenticM]

I hope it's as violent as the last one, because holy shit.

The problem is that he won't though, because he seems to subscribe to the idea that Rambo should always be a one-man army. That was fine for the first film, because it made sense, but then with each movie it became less and less plausible as Stallone got older and older.

I'd love to see him in a Big Boss style role though, seems to be a good natural progression.
