Not some AI made up bla blah blah.
I saw Stallone talking about his new movie.. it’s gonna be an origins story of Rambo. He’s going to be the executive producer.

Hopefully it’s gonna have the same atmosphere as “ first blood “ which was, in my opinion,, the best one. Part two wasn’t too bad I guess,,,, but then it just went downhill after that…
I don’t know who will play the part of Rambo… A.I. stallone??
That stuff is neat, but scary at the same time.

I am optimistic based on what I have read.

I heard about that film. Called John Rambo.

It's not AI Stallone, its a young actor. Stallone isn't gonna be in it.

i read, the film is gonna cover the Rambo timeline before First Blood, so Vietnam or directly after.

Sly is really crushing it as a senior citizen, kudos to him.
I have always enjoyed what he is involved in.

Remember those rambo knives you couldn't give away...

I never got lost as a kid with mine and the fish I caught!! Lol

I would love to have an original Lile First Blood Knife but they are pricey.

My nine year old wants one in the worst way. I might get him one, just to give my mother-in-law a heart attack.

LOL

I had a camo one. My dad got it for me from my uncle, who had a buddy he worked with at the GM plant who had cases of em.

Broke the compass and all the water was gone, lost the sharpening stone on about day 2. Burnt up the 3 matches and tried to fish with the 6' of trilene and hook.

Good steel, easy to put an edge on

Good times.

Really like the Rambo series. I like a lot of the movies Stallone is in. The Expendables series is great. I especially enjoy the third one with Wesley Snipes. Listening for the cadence of that drum shotgun . Stands out above the rest.

In Last Blood, he has the same horse that was shown predominately in the series Yellowstone. One of the top performance Quarter horses . I recognized the horse as soon as I saw him.

He owns horses and his daughters show them. I enjoy updates on what they are enjoying in the show circuit. Just my own little details I look for ....

I saw him advertising this new one on video . I look forward to seeing it.

Yup, the good ol survival knife,,, I had a few of them,,, the suckers did feel good in your hands though.
My cousin broke the handle off one I had,, he was chopping on some maple trees,,, he tried to hide it because he was scared my mom was going to switch his rear end pretty good.

Hey, Rambo is my hero. Who else could get a helicopter to retreat by throwing a rock at it? One more aint near enough.

His recent Tulsa King was very good.

Rambo inspired me to become the savage I am today.

Tulsa King series is fantastic.

It's on a channel I don't get and don't want to pay for. But I have the first season on DVD and will see when season two in its entirety is offered. It is a great series.

My friend and partner for my security business, Chip, got in trouble with a Rambo Survival knife when he was a kid. After "Rambo", the movie "Uncommon Valor" was made. In it, one of the characters strings Viet Kong ears up as trophies of combat. My friend got the idea to do that with rat heads from rats he "rat sniped" in his mom's horse barns and with frogs he "frog sniped" in their pond. He made several necklaces and hung them in a tree down by the road. One of his neighbors saw the rat and frog necklaces, dangling from a trees and called the Sheriff's department on him. Not a whole lot came from it, except his knife got taken away temporarily.

He got the knife back and was playing near a creek with his younger brother, Bill, and a friend, who also had a Rambo knife. His little brother didn't have one and wanted one to cut something up. His friend said "Here Bill catch" and threw his knife across the creek, where it went through Bill's hand. Bill needed several surgeries to fix his hand.

Afterwards, Chip's dad smashed both Rambo knives with a sledge hammer, breaking the compasses and crushing the hollow handles, before throwing them away.

Keith, fun stories . Your story reminded me of a decent knife I used to carry in my truck. It wasn't a Rambo replica but impressive nonetheless.

Recall Croc Dundee's expression..." That's not a knoife.....THIS is a knoife !"
That's basically what I had.

I used it for a number of things. Including cutting through a horse's halter that the buckles had rusted together in freeing him from being snagged in a tree branch . I kept it very sharp.

I was on a day out with some lady friends and were stopped at a light in town. I fumbled with a plastic wrapped snack , and being impatient, grabbed my knife and cut the tight plastic wrapper.

Hearing a gasp, I realized all happy talking had ceased , and all the women in back and front, were staring at my knife wide-eyed, LOL. I laughed but looked at the car next to me and they too were staring at me with a look of horror ... " HEY ! Isn't this Idaho ? What's the problem ?" A hardy friend , who was a horseman herself, responded in a wise crack that had us relax in laughter. " They must be city Idahoans !"

I didn't even think about that, a knife was common use of a tool , to me. Maybe I can find a Rambo knife someday. Sorry, Foxkidd, I was inspired by Keith's story !

Shoot, I like to hear people’s stories,, it’s all good.

Rambo doesn’t sleep- he waits……

I got a chuckle from the mention of the Rambo knife. Maybe 25 years ago, we were out on the opening day of trout season. Maybe a dozen of us. We stocked this big hole with a lot of trout, but after a couple hours, they were spooked up. Among my group was my 20 year old nephew. Hands down, the best fisherman I’ve ever encountered. We all had our lines in the water, getting no bites. The nephew had a Rambo knife…..got it out, got out the hand line, and cast out. He ended up catching 8-10 trout with that thing…..the rest of us never had a bite.

Love these stories about those knives . All because of a new movie.

Who knew ?

Thank you Foxkidd44 . A fun thread.

Dam I can’t wait! Why has it been forever since we had a good Nam movie? Those were our favourites growing up as a kid.

Man, I’m honestly pretty pumped to see the next Rambo movie coming together. The upcoming film, John Rambo, is supposed to explore the early life of the character before the events of First Blood. From what I’ve read, it’s set during the Vietnam War and will show how John Rambo became the hardened soldier we see in the original movies. Noah Centineo is playing the younger version of the character, while Sylvester Stallone is involved behind the scenes as an executive producer.

Production reportedly started in early 2026 in Thailand, so it’s still in filming right now and an official theatrical release date hasn’t been announced yet. But with filming underway, it seems like a late-2026 or 2027 release window is probably realistic if everything stays on schedule.

Another thing that has me excited is all the Rambo knife collections and replicas popping up again as the franchise gets attention. The Rambo survival knives, especially the blade used in First Blood have always been iconic.

Between the new origin movie, the possibility of new gear releases, and the nostalgia of the original films, it feels like the Rambo franchise might actually be making a comeback.

Anyone else following the production of John Rambo or collecting the Rambo knives? Curious what people think about the prequel idea.

When I was 16, Worked a lotta Taco Bell hours for this bad boy. Camo wilderness explorer

What knife are you guys talking about exactly? Im thinking it was called a Gil Hibben designed knife with several variations.

There’s a lot of great macv sog books out nowadays,,, if you’re a reader

“Code name dynamite” is great 2 book autobiography

Would make a great movie

The “mad dog” Jerry shiver story would also be an awesome movie

I read everyone I can

So many amazing stories,,,,,

Jimmy Lile made the knives in First Blood and Rambo 2.

Read up on him. I am pretty sure he made Arnold's knife in Predator.

Thanks, SP!. Just ordered the 2 autobiographies.

Heck, even Hoyt released a "Rambo" line of bows after the second one came out.
