    Rocky Balboa and Rambo where both pretty good. Not a surprise they want to option sequels.
    The next Rambo story could involve Rambo's Dad getting captured and Rambo goes to find him and blows everybody up to save him.
    Demolition Man 2 would be awesome

    The Rocky series finished perfect the way it did, he shouldnt do anymore,Rambo however theres still life there i think he could do one if not two more of them.Both films i think were as good as the first Rocky and Rambo films.

    Stallone kicks ass ,another Rambo hell ya, another rocky hell ya,but I don't think he really wants to anther rocky,I know he wants another Rambo,I did here that he would like to remake Death Wish,that would kick ass,we all know that they were going to remake this one,and stallone is one in a few that would do this film justice.Back to RAMBO and Rocky once and for all HELL YA,I am A huge Sly fan and I am there first in line midnite show,as for all you downing Sly well you know what you can do.

    you gotta give it to sly tho he is trying so hard to keep with the times, i liked the last rocky but i have to agree wit most it was a good way to end the storyline, and as far as rambo goes i have yet to see it, but its more beleivable that rambo can still do his thing then rocy steping in the ring with a guy half his age and coming out on top. but hell "LETS GO ROCKO!!!!!"

    I can see another Rambo... "Rambo has to stop the bank from taking his farm"... but not another Rocky... Rocky Balboa is what Rocky 5 should have been... a nice way to end the franchise... CRAZYINESS!!!!

    ok, now this is starting to sound like a joke. Another Rocky movie? I dont think so, Rocky Balboa was clearly the end of the story. To even think of a sequel is really stupid.

    Im all for another Rambo, but another Rocky Im not so sure about. I liked the last one its just I thought it was over. Rambo was so f*ckin gory, action packed, and awesome that another bloodfest would be cool.
