"The first time it was for himself. Then it was for his country. This time... it's for his friend."
Two questions come to mind:
* who/what the hell is it gonna be for this time?
* is it possible to make a crappier movie than Rambo III?
Hey Sly!!!
Let it go man!!!
Won't be very hard as Rocky IV (4) was made in 1985.
Now if the article means Rock VI (Rocky 6) that would be different
LOL!
Man, that movie blew. So did Rambo II for that matter.
I think this time John Rambo is a sheriff in a small Oregon
town, when a troubled Iraq war veteran gets dropped off on
the highway....
No thanks Sly, I'll pass on this movie.

Gun Control Hall of Fame: Sylvester Stallone, movie star, confiscationist Sylvester Stallone, the star of the Rambo and Rocky movies is so enthusiastic he wants guns confiscated house to house in the U.S.
The powerful, muscular, virile star of the Rocky Balboa boxing movies and the Rambo films about a crazed Vietnam War veteran was criticized for his courageous remarks on television, saying that guns should be confiscated.
Even more from Stallon, From:http://vikingphoenix.com/news/stn/1998/stn98030.htm
In their June 12 CyberAlert Media Research Center (MRC) said movie actor Sylvester Stallone supports suspension of Constitutional rights and confiscation of firearms in the United States.
In their report, Media Research Center said Stallone proposes that the only way to make America safe is to go house to house and confiscate every gun. MRC said Stallone was reacting to the shooting death of Phil Hartman, slain by his drug crazed wife, who then killed herself. MRC said that Sylvester Stallone "is best known for glamorizing in his Rambo films military weapons not even the NRA wants legal" and that Stallone "urged the repeal of the 2nd amendment."
According to the report, MRC entertainment analyst Tom Johnson transcribed Stallone's ranting from a June 8 segment on Access Hollywood, a show carried by NBC-owned stations and syndicated to other markets.
Stallone conceded, "I know we use guns in films," but insisted the time has come "to be a little more accountable and realize that this is an escalating problem that's eventually going to lead to, I think, urban warfare"; according to MRC.
MRC said that Access Hollywood then showed a clip from a comment he [Stallone] made in London a few weeks ago: "Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you're gonna have. It's pathetic. It really is pathetic. It's sad. We're living in the Dark Ages over there."
"Over there"? asked MRC. "Yes, the man who wants to control what Americans have in their homes is now living in England." In Stallone's interview with Access Hollywood, MRC said the actor demanded that the 2nd amendment be abandoned: "It has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, 'It's ending, it's over, all bets are off. It's not 200 years ago, we don't need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn't have it. Why should we?", MRC quoted Stallone.

It's truly amazing isn't it. Stallone encourages repealing our rights to protect ourselves, our families and our country.
But when he, an already very wealthy person, wants to make some more money, well all that is on hold.
