Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
Well, with the decent success of Rambo, there's some talk about a potential sequel here: http://joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=10965Not that I expect that to happen, but would you like to see it happening hypothetically. Or another Rocky film maybe?

Another Rambo. There's nothing left to tell really in the Rocky saga.

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
Making another Rocky is certaintly pushing it but I could see more doors opening for Rambo. I think Stallone should close the door on both though. I would like to see Mel Gibson returning to Lethal Weapon

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
No to both. As much as I liked both films, one more would be pushing it, especially with Rocky. Stallone should be pleased that he gave his two most popular characters a proper send off. But no more.

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
While the charcters are interesting and both last films were good enough that they would and could have a sequel, I'd rather see Stallone go have one last hurrah of original films as well, We've have 10 films of Rocky and Rambo, and both have ended well (Though I'd love to see one final scene of Rambo, it was such a tease maybe in the Unrated) I'd love to see his Deathwish and Edgar Allen Poe film

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
Another Rocky would kind of kill the point of this one... Balboa was the send-off

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
I agree about Rocky, but Rambo...movies like that can always be made. But he's simply too old by now for yet another one.

Nah, both had fitting endings.

I wouldn't mind seeing another Rambo movie. Stallone still looks really good and I loved the last one.

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
Don't you think that Rambo ended perfectly, the fact that he came full circle?

Maybe another Rocky - - but done a la The Karate Kid with Rocky as the boxing sensei to the hot young protege.

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
A definite no for Rocky. The series and character arc ended perfectly. There could not exist a more elegant and satisfying final shot.
I am open to another Rambo, though. Yes, the ending with him returning home is nice, but I can dig a new movie with him enlisted for another adventure.

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
No, I thought he waited for the Rocky series to end so he could start getting all those tattoos. Plus it ended great and on such a high note. If anything Rocky came more Full circle than Rambo ever did (Who really when you think about it has become a modern day Kane walking the earth)

Re: Would you like to see one more Rambo or Rocky movie?
But Rocky didn't need to come full circle. He's not a man that has trouble living with himself and accepting who he is. Rocky just wanted another shot, he felt like he still had something left in the tank, something to throw at life (but I agree, it ended perfectly, with a result that was a nod to Rocky). Rambo needed to come full circle, to accept who he is. The ending of Rambo, to me, is enough to end the franchise, but it could also spawn another few chapters. It's all up in the air and just depends on what Sly wants to do. I just hope he ditches the idea of 'Rambo V' in favour of original projects. I'd rather he made original projects that bombed than more franchise material that just makes him look like the unoriginal revisionist that he isn't. He's a great writer, and he should concentrate on that now, perhaps giving himself supporting roles in his own movies.
