In 2009, it was revealed James Byron Huggins' 1999 novel Hunter would form the basis of Rambo V: The Savage Hunt. To that end, he felt the novel Hunter – about a formidable tracker taking on an unkillable monster – would make the perfect concept for part five. In fact, after 2008's Rambo he was seeking to shatter the series formula and make something totally different. Stallone has been working on this Mexico-set concept for a number of years, but it wasn’t the only idea he considered. This mission provides him with one final worthy cause, but age has weathered his once unbeatable combat skills. Having returned home at end of Rambo, he’s spent the better part of a decade working on his family farm, but also spending his free time drinking to cope with his PTSD. Rambo V: Last Blood finds him on a rescue mission to Mexico when a friend’s daughter is kidnapped by a cartel.

With both the Rambo and Rocky franchises, he’s proven he has a knack for creating sequels that feel like they have a purpose. Stallone has been the guiding voice of the series since the beginning, having a hand in the scripts, in addition to directing Rambo and, rumor has it, ghost directing Rambo: First Blood Part II.
