Stallone Updates us on Rambo

 Rambo is a character that I think was not fully expressed in the last one, even though Afghanistan was the downfall. It was Russia’s Vietnam. About 10 days before the movie comes out Gorbechev comes over and basically kisses Nancy Reagan on the cheek and then the 50-year Cold War is over and now I’m the bad guy! It’s true. People asked why I was a red baiter. And I said two weeks ago we were dropping bombs on these guys, but now? It’s true. Anytime you do a film that deals with a political subject you never know, even though I’m doing it again. But it’s extremely volatile.

It would just be Rambo because I think it’s a character that I think is completely out of sync with the way things are. He’s so primitive and his spirit is so broken that he lives his monastic life out in the jungle and I think it’s an interesting character study. I haven’t seen anything like it lately.

We will keep you updated on the upcoming Rambo flick, be sure to read our entire interview with Sylvester Stallone.
