Rambo 4 Script Review!
Filed under: Action, RumorMonger, Fandom, Scripts, Remakes and Sequels
Now that you're eagerly counting down the seconds before being able to finally check out the final installment in the Rocky franchise, why not start building up hype for Sylvester Stallone's second trip down memory lane -- Rambo 4: Pearl of the Cobra. (Can I just say now that the title is so friggin' stuck in the 80s, I absolutely love it!) I'm not sure how they do it or who they're sleeping with, but the folks over at Latino Review managed to get their hands on the latest draft (dated 11/06/06) of Rambo 4, and have been nice enough to post their review of it.
Here's what we already know about Rambo 4: During a humanitarian aid delivery, Rambo is recruited to protect a bunch of Christian human rights missionaries from a group of pirates who are up to no good. However, when Burmese soldiers (apparently these guys are pretty sick puppies) take hostages, Rambo is called back into action, as he must assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue those in captivity. Latino Review gives the script a B+ and only spoils the first half of the film for us -- and yes, that means there are spoilers included within. You've been warned. According to them, the second half "is all pure vintage Rambo that we know and love as he lays the smackdown with his .50 cal ordinance to the sadistic Burmese army." They also describe the script as "extremely violent and gory," however Stallone himself has gone on record saying that it all serves the plot and accurately reflects the reality of the region.
It sounds pretty rad, and quite a departure from the extremely tame Rocky finale. Rambo 4: Pearl of the Cobra is set to arrive in theaters in early 2008.

Saw Rocky 6 and have to say it was very good. A lot of good life messeges that most people tend to forget. Rambo 4 may be part of a dieing franchise, but at least while most Americans are getting fatter, it's nice to see someone who at least takes care of himself. Yo Adrian!

Sylvester Stallone is a genius. He has has written, directed, and starred in many classic films. I don't know why anyone would want to hate on him. They're probably just jealous because they're either morbidly obese and/or don't do anything creative in their lives. I could tell Stallone put alot of heart and thought into Rocky Balboa (I loved it). Rambo 4 will be no different. Make that money Sly!!!
Peace,

Good for Sly going with what works. Rocky Balboa turned out to be a good addition to the series.
in the 80's, the tough guy/macho man persona was embraced. Today, everything has been so feminised, it
s not even considered cool anymore for a man to be a man. Sly is showing us that in todays metrosexual laden world, it's still cool to be a tough guy. Good, it's a breath of fresh air.
Films like Rocky, Rambo...celebrate men.

Sylvester Stallone is always known for keeping up and this time too he proved himself best by , "Rocky Balboa" go ahead sly u really proved that "IT AIN'T OVER, TILL ITS OVER" i grown up watching his movies full of energy, power, determination, dedication. Friends even people of our age just cant think to do or dare to put our hands in those tasks which is attempting and accomplishing with full proficiency...I think he is conveying a message to this whole lazy world that "No cliffs are tall enough to break your confidence to climb it up until you have a will of rock. Well i Anirudh Mohale and all your die hard fans will always be with you sly. Go hard rock Dont forget that you are a 200 pound italian tank...run over em.

Listen, I'm a huge 80's fan of Rambo and a few of the Rocky films, and even I don't care to see this overhill, over-pumped actor do this kind of stuff anymore. In looking at the three trailiers for R4, this thing looks lamer than R6. Stallone...give it a rest, already. Your time has already come and gone. Quit making yourself look foolish. BTW, I didn't see Rocky 6 because it looked so idiotic and have no intention of paying $19 for the DVD. I saw a used one for $8 and almost caved, but then I remembered how bad the clips on the internet looked.
