John Rambo used to be an every man. Now he's some sort of R-rated gorehound...

    "Rocky Balboa" isn't bad, either. It's just basically a remake....
    Mmm. Points taken. But those ships sailed long ago, insofar as avoiding tarnishing the legacy so to speak, so I'm not too fussed if he makes another one now.

    Back in the day I would'a been SO down for that. Now, eh...once again, I'd say the ship already sailed there too.

    Why? Is it too unrealistic to have him pick up a gun, point it at a thug and spout a one-liner? C'mon Cobretti!

    Like the sound of that waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than that silly idea thrown around a while back about Rambo vs The Yeti or whatever it was (idiotic!). I loved Rambo 4, it was a kick arse action flick. Wasn't mad keen on the 2nd or 3 movies, but loved the first and loved the fourth. A fifth might be good too.

    Rocky Balboa was excellent - that's left well enough alone now. It's gone out on a high note and it should stay there sitting pretty. Demolition Man 2? That'd be cool - like San Angeles + however many years it's been, to see what that futuristic society has become after they loosened their neckties a bit, you know?

    A Cobra 2? Can't see that happening - plus it's a movie and character that deserves to remain in the 1980s. It's so very, very 1980s (but in a really kick arse way), and I think it'd be weird and out-of-place 30 years later, I don't know...

    Tango and Cash 2?

    Demolition Man, I'd throw that one in the reboot file.

    Demolition Man was a casualty of the late 90's. Cool idea and tons of potential plus every restaurant is a Taco Bell. Utopia or dystopia? The class division and undercurrent of revolution. A perfect world on the outside that was decaying on the inside. A lot of big neat ideas.

    Unfortunately they tossed out anything serious and gave us Rob Schneider and toilet paper jokes.

    Nah, just been such a long stretch since the 1st one, plus it's such a "product of its times", so to speak, that in either case I don't think it would work.

    Plus it was easier to resurrect Rambo as it was a three-film franchise and icon of Western action cinema ... Rocky too had five films to the franchise and is a worldwide phenomenon ... Cobra is one movie very much from the 1980s, and as cool and enjoyably dark as it is, it doesn't have the clout.

    hehe, as a side note, I was just listening to "The Happy Song" by Poets of the Fall, and it matched up perfectly with Moon's signature gif - awesome.
