4. Rambo: The Savage Hunt
It's A Sequel To...Rambo (2008) Despite the fact that both of Stallone's belated sequels to his most popular franchises turned out surprisingly well when he decided to unveil them in the noughties, the actor couldn't fight the temptation to pitch yet another sequel to 2008's
Rambo, which was nicknamed
Rambo: The Savage Hunt, in the aftermath. Now I'm all for genre mash-ups, because I'm a massive movie nerd, but this potential sequel sounded incredibly ill-judged. Yes, the plot for
The Savage Hunt featured Rambo going up against a genetically-engineered super soldier in the wilderness or something, because that's the sort of plot that you have to use if you're making the fifth movie in a franchise already deemed to be "pushing it." There was an outcry upon announcement of this concept, and Stallone shelved it, presumably unaware that Rambo fans kind of liked their Rambo movies to be grounded in a bit of reality.
Nutty Movie Sequel Rating: 8/10
