He said that if he cannot do better than he did the last time, it is no use for him to push “Rambo 5.” There’s no use continuing the story if there is nothing more to pull out, he added.
Stallone also explained that he was very satisfied with the fourth movie for dealing with the Burmese situation. He said that he had one foot in a current event, which was the longest civil war in history, placed at 65 years when they released the movie back in 2008.
He said that “Rambo 4” was so brutal that he was actually surprised that the movie got an R-rating. He remembered saying then that it is going to be the last decent film of the action genre that he was going to do as a solo act. He said when he was able to accomplish it, he never felt the same willingness to do it again.
With that being said, it is just fitting that it is actually Stallone himself who ended all hopes for fans to see another round of John Rambo in “Rambo 5” as he was the one who said that the movie was a go a little over a year ago.
