The _Rambo_ franchise has earned a justified reputation for insane, over-the-top violence — so it's easy to forget that the original movie, _First Blood_, was a relatively grounded
movie about a Vietnam veteran dealing with PTSD. That history may explain why several publications were fooled by an erroneous report, widely circulated on Monday, that the _Rambo_ franchise
would return to its political roots for _Last Blood_ — a new movie that would see John Rambo traveling to Iraq and Syria to battle ISIS. Stallone was purported to have announced _Last
Blood_ during a panel at Comic-Con. While _Rambo 5_ has long been discussed (and may well happen someday), the Comic-Con story is false. "Sylvester Stallone did not attend Comic-Con
2015, and consequently there was no official remark from him regarding Rambo made there at the event," a representative for Stallone said in a statement. SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape
