Rambo #1 Again!

EmpireOnLine.com recently posted their list of The Top 25 Best One Man Armies in the Movies. Of course, Rambo came in at #1. Who could argue with that? The rest of the list can [and should] be debated. Isn’t that the purpose of lists? Here are my suggestions for the top ten:

  1. Rambo played by SYLVESTER STALLONE in FIRST BLOOD, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, PART II, RAMBO III, RAMBO
  2. Lee played by BRUCE LEE in ENTER THE DRAGON
  3. Bryan Mills played by LIAM NEESON in TAKEN
  4. Geno Felino played by STEVEN SEAGAL in OUT FOR JUSTICE
  5. Creasy played by DENZEL WASHINGTON in MAN ON FIRE
  6. Walker played by LEE MARVIN in POINT BLANK
  7. El Mariachi played by ANTONIO BANDERAS in DESPERADO, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO
  8. John Matrix played by ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER in COMMANDO
  9. Blade played by WESLEY SNIPES in BLADE, BLADE II, BLADE TRINITY
  10. John Preston played by CHRISTIAN BALE in EQUILIBRIUM

“Rambo: The Savage Hunt” Synopsis

Harry at AICN has scored again. This time he has a copy of the synopsis to “Rambo V: The Savage Hunt.”  The plot does sound like an adaptation of the novel Hunter written [with Sly in mind] by James Byron Huggins.  Since I’ve always pulled for Sly to make Hunter, I like the idea of adapting it to fit Rambo.  I also like the Harry thinks that they should drop the “V” from the movie title  [I suggested the same thing yesterday] and simply call the movie “Rambo: The Savage Hunt.”

“Rambo V: The Savage Hunt”

On Friday, September 4th, Harry @ AICN posted about a conversation he had with Sly about the plot of the next Rambo movie.  Tentaively titled, “Rambo V: The Savage Hunt,” the story follows Rambo, who is brought to the Pacific Northwest to lead a Black Ops team, as they hunt down a genetically enhanced soldier created in a secret muilitary project.  Although Sly is still working on the story, it’s obvious that he’s ready to take Rambo in a new an unexpected direction.

Later Harry updated the report with a voice message from Sly himself [which you can hear] talking about his plans for Rambo.  You can read and hear the report here.

I like the new direction that Sly is leading Rambo.  Almost reminds me of the plot of Hunter (which I would still like to see Sly do).  I also like the proposed title for the film, but I would drop the “V” and just call it “Rambo: The Savage Hunt.”

The news broke today that Sylvester Stallone will return to write, direct and star as Rambo in a 5th film.  Word is that Rambo will be crossing the border to bring back a girl kidnapped by Mexican drug lords. As you can imagine, Sly returning to one of his signature characters is making headlines in places like:
