Supposedly, it is going to be based around Rambo settling down in the United States and fighting a group of white supremacists who kidnap his daughter out of racism (Rambo is part Native American). It sounds like a return to the style of the first movie, and we can probably expect less machine gun fire and more use of the survival knife.

I'm excited, I'm going to put a box on the side now that there is more info out--RBalboa June 5

[edit] I don't understand

I don't understand this, will Rambo save his daughter in Arizona AND hunt down Osama in the same movie or is one of those ideas scrapped? --Mailerdaemon 17:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the Osama idea was thrown out--Skosem 8 Sept.

[edit] Just a small question

Does anyone know what the "very personal reason" Jackie Chan had about declining the roll of a drug dealer? i couldnt find any reference to drugs or dealing in his bio page.

I don't know why this is "very personnal", what I heard is that he doesn't want to play the bad guy, especially a drug-dealing bad guy, because he wants to be a model for the youngs.

His father was the one who made him promise that he would never play a "bad guy" or a drug user. He came clean in the recent documentary "Traces of a Dragon" (which I saw on Australian TV) and admitted that Jackie's mother and he had been involved in opium trafficking during the Chinese Civil War.

In the "Jackie Chan : My Story" documentary, this abovegiven statement is confirmed. Reportedly, his father told him never to have anything do with drugs, gambling or triads.

[edit] In the Serpent's Eye

• This has now been confirmed as the subtitle in numerous press reports. Simply google news "Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye" and see. -- Freemarket 00:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pearl of The Cobra

• Sylvester Stallone revealed in an online interview that Rambo IV has been retitled Rambo IV: Pearl of The Cobra[1].Gangrel76547 19:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncited content

Is there anything salvageable from the proposed ideas part of the article? Most of it seems to be uncited Alastairward 00:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Rambo

Yet another title switch from Sly, he mentioned in a recent interview on Australian television that "John Rambo" is the new title they're running with, notably similar to "Rocky Balboa". Couldn't find any online sources for reference, though. Goroliath

Here's an online article talking about it.[2] It looks like Sly loves to create redirects for this article. --Nehrams2020 02:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confused

The article is a bit confusing. Maybe all the changes/development/etc. could be lumped together in a "history" or "pre-production" section, and each significant change labeled in historical order? Shrumster 08:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
