For anyone who loves Sly Stallone's tale of a John J. Rambo, your many prayers have been answered as they are making a sequel to Rambo: First Blood Part II. This sequel either completely ignores or skips over Rambo III. I'm not sure why, but these two pieces of trivia could have something to do with it: in Rambo II, Stallone "blinks fewer times during the film (24) than he kills (61)" (Wikipedia). Rambo III, on the other hand, is more violent. According to the Guinness Book of Records (1990) it is the most violent movie with 221 acts of violence and over 108 deaths (Wikipedia).
In "John Rambo," he's got to save Christian human rights missionaries. This is the second consecutive movie where Stallone takes one of his old blockbusters, makes a sequel where he plays the same character at the tender age of 60+, and adds a Christian theme into it becuase, let's be honest, a lot of church goers will go see the movie because they believe it's a Christian movie. First, Rocky Balboa becomes a Christian and is clearly meant to "reflect the nature of Jesus," and in this one Stallone is saving missionaries.
I can hear some mother somewhere saying to her husband, "Come on dear, he saves Christian while punching a guy's head clean off (check the 2:00 mark)."
Sadly, this will probably make money than it should and Stallone will make another of his old movies, title it after the lead character's full name, and make it Christian. I see him doing a sequel to “Stop! Or my Mom Will Shoot” entitled “Sgt. Joe Bomowski,” where Joe is forced to deal with a robberies at churches, but his mom helps him find the bad guys while learning a valueable lesson about being a Christian.

You just cited sources in your blog. From now on, all blogs should be written in AP style... mandate from Editor in Chief. Also, I doubt Rambo is truly the most violent movie if that fact is from 1990. I'm pretty sure there are more violent movies out there now.
I don't do AP. I'm a solid Chicago style writer. Now back off, Hopper.
do you 2 need to be in marriage counseling? :) haha
