This is what "Adrian" looks like now (her real name is Talia Shire).

From the horse's mouth...

Rambo is a character that I think was not fully expressed in the last one," said Stallone. "Even though Afghanistan was the downfall, it was Russia's Vietnam. What happened was it was about 10 days before the movie came out, Gorbachev comes over and basically kisses Nancy Reagan on the cheek and the cold war, 50 years later, is over and now I'm the bad guy. It's true. Why are you red bater? I said two weeks ago we were dropping bombs on these guys. So any time you do a film that deals with a political subject, you don't know, even though I'm doing it again. It's extremely volatile. But, yeah it would just be Rambo because it's a character I think that is completely out of sync with the way things are. He's so primitive and he's so broken, his spirit, that he lives this monastic life out on the jungle. I think it's an interesting character study. I haven't seen anything like it lately."

"I wouldn't say this is a veteran's journey. It's more like the veteran mentality of the Vietnam War, which is juxtaposition today. The soldiers today I think are vastly different. A different breed. I think they're a little bit more aware. The other guys are a bit more naïve, and they went head-long into these crazy situations. Look at the death toll. 52,000 and by today's standards that's unbelievable. A quarter of a million suicides after that from people who were damaged by the war. It's just in his attitude and his demeanor that you know he's still quite distraught by what he's been through, but yet he can't escape it, damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't."

Even that one with Dolph Lundgren playing the Russian Boxing Robot? And the most **-erotic intro scene in the series, outside of that "beach running" bit in part 3

We saw this movie yesterday.... I was surprised that it actually was a pretty good movie... way better then some of those other Rocky movies...

This movie kind of reminded me of the first Rocky movie... A down and out Rocky trying to make it.... And the movie actually had a good story line...

I wonder if part of the reason for this was because Stallone actually wrote this one... He wrote the first Rocky, right?

The Rambo movie is no joke - there are production photos online from the start of principal photography.

They were running Rocky movies this morning. I'm not a fan of Rocky.
