    Stallone planning 'Rambo 5'
    By WENN.com

    Sylvester Stallone is set to don his famed red headband once more - he's working on a fifth Rambo blockbuster.

    The action star last reprised his role of the Vietnam veteran in 2008's Rambo, and he's revealed he's writing a draft for one final instalment for his classic character to give him a fitting send off.

    When asked if there are more Rambo stories to tell, the 65-year-old told MTV, "I know there is. It's one thing where you lay down the final culmination of your life where you can articulate it, but also act on it where he realises what his destiny really is. It's not to be a farmer, it's not to be obscure - it's to go out in a blaze of glory in a heroic fashion... That's who he is. I'm working on a formula for it right now."
    There are no old Porsches - just new owners.

    Yeah, I thought Rambo 2008 was actually quite good.

    Can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next one.

    I thought it was good, except for the characters of the volunteers. Those guys were so naive they'd have been mugged for thier supplies and tickets at O'Hare and never made it to Thailand.

    But I also thought it was a nice close to the franchise, with John Rambo finally making it home. Wanting to die is a blaze of glory, covered in blood surrounded by the smell of napalm, gunpowder and hot steel is a young man's dream. At Rambo's age, he should be living a quiet life and enjoying it, with the occasional smile when he encounters some young dumbass who thinks he's tough and imagines all the ways he could kill the guy...

    ...not that I do that. Just sayin'.

    I'd see it in the theater. I enjoyed the 2008 flick and I absolutely love First Blood.

    It would kind of be dope to see him go out in a blaze of glory.
