In a recent interview with Canadian magazine Macleans, the Italian Stallion himself Sylvester Stallone discussed his initial feud with Arnold Schwarzengegger, Quentin Tarantino calling him a coward*, and his overall career. In addition, Sly also discussed the possibility of a fifth Rambo film.
According to Frank Stallone's brother, he's "dying" to do a fifth Rambo and that this one is set on the Arizona/Mexico border. Apparently the script will involve him going into Mexico for an as yet undetermined reason. In a decidedly un-PC move, Stallone also said "I don't think Rambo likes Mexicans." Guh? Seems kind of an odd statement to say considering that Rambo in previous films has been the champion of the disenfranchised. My thought is that maybe Rambo will be going after Mexican drug runners. I doubt very highly that it will be random refugees crossing the border. Also in a major spoiler when asked if Rambo would die in the fifth film, Sly responded in the positive.
Personally I think the idea of killing Rambo is a fantastic idea. It needs to be a spectacular death though. Something like blowing himself up to save innocent people.
Stallone's Expendables 2 hits theaters this August and his other film Bullet to the Head kicks off later this fall. Stallone and Arnie begin shooting The Tomb in about a month and then hopefully the next Rambo starts by the end of the year.
*Tarantino called Stallone a coward because in the book Rambo actually dies at the end. Stallone felt that with almost 200,000 suicides from returning Vietnam vets why not bring him to the edge of destruction and then save him. Plus it helped with sequels.
