Nothing Stops The Baby Boomers!

Yo, somebody stop him before he kills himself! Sylvester Stallone is considering more Rocky and Rambo sequels. He’s signed a two-picture deal for action movies, and they just might be based around the same character he plays in every movie. Oh, wait, they are definitely going to have that. One just might have John Rambo and the other might have Rocky Balboa.

Rocky, the more intellectual of Stallone’s two flagship franchises, got a largely positive reaction when it returned to the screen after returning to the screen in 2006. Stallone was so shocked he went out and made a new Rambo movie, which managed to lose to Meet the Spartans at the box office.

But, hey, whatever. How could he even make a seventh Rocky movie? I assume John Rambo could just indiscriminately kill tons of bad guys, but who is Rocky gonna fight?

In possibly related news, Stallone is also working on a remake of Death Wish.

New Rambo Poster: Uh, I Actually Like It

I had to ride the El to Kensington for a story, and this poster is at the Spring Garden stop.

We are less than two months away. Also, apparently the movie’s now just called Rambo. Guess Stallone didn’t want to do the same exact thing once again. I dunno; I think John Rambo was fine. It’s not like Rocky punched anybody’s head off in Rocky Balboa.
