Rambo: New Blood TV Series in Development at FOX, Fifth Film on Hold

They'll probably have some queer bait from Game Of Retards as the stars. No dice.

The cheese is old and moldy. Where is the bathroom?

Rambo's "son"? This is an even worse idea than that "Rambo fights an alien" script that Sly was working on a few years back. This TV show probably won't get past the pilot stage a la Beverly Hills Cop.

I'm not convinced. It always reeks of desperation, lack of any real ideas and overall bad writing, when they suddenly introduce a hitherto unknown family member. Even worse, we're expected to accept that this "son" is somehow suddenly supposed to replace Stallone's iconic and larger than life character as the main draw?

Besides, a son? I thought Rambo was really lousy with women. So when was this supposed to happen? In the early 80's. Nuh-uh, he was a homeless, smelly drifter at the time, and probably much too broken emotionally to manage a serious relationship anyway. And then he went to prison until roughly mid-1985.

Co Bao? No way, there wasn't enough time and Co got shot anyway. During Rambo's stay in Thailand between Rambo 2 and 3? Plausible, but the kids possibly resulting from these affairs would've more than likely been born and raised in Thailand. Can you even become a US Navy SEAL, if you're not a US citizen? And the same also goes for the time after Rambo 3. Besides, any time after, say... 1990, and the supposed son of Rambo would be too young to plausibly be a SEAL.

So what about the Viet prostitute from the deleted scene of First Blood? But are deleted materials even canon? Besides, once more, the resulting son would've most likely been born and raised in communist Viet Nam, making it unlikely that he'd be a SEAL.

Yeah, I'm not buying it. And the introduction of a son would also mean that the creators are trying to play the family drama card, which is not what Rambo means to me. Something like that should not be in a Rambo-story. Sorry, but I'm not sold.

Instead of this "lost son" BS, they should've done a period piece about Rambo's days in the Vietnam war. Show us how the warrior was born, that's still a mostly untapped source of Rambo-material, and surely more interesting than any family drama BS.

I agree with the last poster. Rambo has been the iconic loner the entire series. Previous scripts for Rambo IV touted the idea of a Rambo family and wisely dropped it for the final film. On the commentary for the last one Stallone mentions that Rambo has no family and that it is too late for him, lame of him to contradict that.
