Rambos new look

[POWERJIM]

Ain it Cool News'*is currently holding a fan submitted interview of Sylvester Stallone. One fan asked about Rambo IV in which Sly revealed a new subtitle:

Question: Are you gonna use the bow and arrows to blow things up in Rambo IV; will you be more bulked up in Rambo IV than in Rocky Balboa; will you make Rambo V if IN THE SERPANT'S EYE is a huge hit?

A.B. KING

SLY: The answer to the first part of the question, whether I’m going to use bow and arrows to blow things up in RAMBO IV is no, because in all the years that have passed, Rambo lived in the remote part of a jungle in Thailand and would not have access to fresh explosives nor does he want part of that life style anymore, but he will use a bow. Yes, I’ll be more bulked up than in Rocky, because Rambo is living a very secluded life and this life includes a great deal of hard labor in the jungles, which has kept him in excellent condition. It won't be bodybuilder-ish, but more like the body of a lumberjack or someone that is prone to heavy lifting and bullish labor. If RAMBO IV, which has been re-titled*PEARL OF THE COBRA, works, I'm not sure if RAMBO would proceed, that all depends on the fans’ reactions.

You can tell Stallone has got a thing for Powerlifting/Strongman now, its like Bodybuilding has little appeal to most folks now, although i could be way off! People seem to be turning to more strength sports.

I feel its because people look at the likes of Jay and Ronnie and get put off from Bodybuilding or even following the sport, with something strength based like Strongman people feel alot more entertained as its got substance to it, i would rather watch a Strongman loading Atlas Stones than some ripped guy in a thong posing.

It's not that, it's more the fact that the general public view them as steroid filled gorilla meatheads and therefore they look at them as freaks.

Too many Bodybuilders die every year and the sport is so polluted with drugs that it will never go mainstream again like it was back in Arnies time.

I didnt really want to say about the steroids cos of the likes of Mariusz in Strongman, thats what p!sses me off cos sooner or later Strongman will be put into the same box as Bodybuilding and that Box is full of Steroid freaks like you said.

I think it comes down to the public being more educated. The general public know now that you can't get as big as a pro bodybuilder or even a top amateur without ridiculous amounts of steroids. I've always been a bodybuilding fan but i am getting less and less interested in it as the years go by.

I always thought a sport was supposed to be healthy and like you say if bodybuilders dropping like flies because of all the years of prolonged steroid abuse and collapsing onstage and such, how is that healthy? It's just not exciting to see guys posing (not for me anyway) that have took the freaky size thing too far. I prefer guys like Flex Wheeler and Dexter Jackson they haven't got the roid guts of the 280 pounders.

After a while it just gets like "oh yeah that's Ronnie Coleman and he's huge blah blah blah". Nobody really tires of seeing guys lifting what would be impossible for normal human beings, it's entertaining. That's why the strongmen used to be in the circus because people wanted to see these extraordinary men doin extraordinary things. And that's why WSM in the UK has always been one of the highlights on television for the christmas period for years. When was the last time bodybuilding was on terrestial television in the UK?...............I rest my case.

When Rambo blows the vietnamese guy up with the explosive arrow in Rambo 2 is class! 1 of my all-time best cinematic moments!

I never watch bodybuilding, its as metro as metro gets if you ask me. I never turn the channel when olympic lifting comes on though, and i watch strongman shows when i can.

lol PJ... he's having a dig at arnold mate.

sly and arnold never got on and had massive fallings out in the 80's-90's action film era.

Sly and movie guru's might well know that any attempt to pass himself off with a bodybuilders physique will also attract attention with regards to arnold and 80's-90's action genre.

read 'fantastic' biography of arnold... goes into detail on how the arguments started and how it effected each career.

Thats because Arnie was banging Stallones wife at the time brigitte nielsen, she was filming Red Sonja with Arnie at the time, they have made up since then though.

I dont think real Metros could handle real hardcore Bodybuilding, they certainly wouldnt squat or deadlift like you do.
