Sylvester Stallone rep denies Rambo will fight Isis in new movie
the guardian ^ | July 14, 2015

When reports surfaced over Sylvester Stallone’s apparent desire to take on Isis in Rambo 5, his representative stepped in to claim they are untrue.

A rumour circulated that Stallone was present at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego to announce further details for the action sequel, which he initially confirmed last year on Twitter.

“We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where Isis have their greatest strongholds,” the star reportedly said on a panel. “We’re working with the locals there to help deliver the most intense and realistic Rambo movie experience ever.”

But his representative came forward to deny the reports, telling Rolling Stone: “Sylvester Stallone did not attend Comic-Con 2015, and consequently there was no official remark from him regarding Rambo at the event. This is not an accurate report.”

Is Stallone a liberal?

If he is, perhaps he’ll fight along side ISIS.

I think he’ll be fighting stasis, as in stasis dermatitis and varicose veins.

Will he get shot in the shoulder yet again?

To be PC, the new Rambo will have to talk his would-be opponent into being nice. NO FIGHTING!

I heard they’re wrapping up a “Rocky 7” too.

In this new role he receives a sex change and identifies as “Rambo Johnnie”.

The funny thing about this article is that it alleges filming will be done on site IN ISIS strongholds.

Which sounds more like the plot for Tropic Thunder 2 than Rambo ...

Another Rambo?

“First Dialysis?”

Maybe he will be fighting rednecked Harley drivers in TX with a female lesbian black companion.

They got it all wrong. It turns out John Rambo spawned an illegitimate son played by Neil Patrick Harris who joins the military. He’s called Rainbo.

I heard that he was a conservative christian.

The last movie in the series, simply titled RAMBO, was great. Christian missionaries get captured and Rambo, along with a few other mercenaries, come to the rescue. The audience I saw it with loved it. Reminded me of seeing the second one back in 1985 and the audience cheering every time Rambo took out a commie.

I don’t know what supplements Mr. Stallone takes or doesn’t take, but the man is built like a rock.

I dunno. Would be fun watching Rambo fight from a walker.
