But I'm not sure that Rambo can really work as a modern hero, or that Stallone can work as modern action star. I think they are mostly just hoping the pure nostalgia will carry this film to a respectable gross, and are trying their best not too mess too much with Rambo's image in order not to upset old time fans. I'm not sure that is such a great strategy, but it did sort of work with Rocky Balboa, so who knows. That’s a very interesting idea.

With roughly 92% of today's target audience having no clue who Rambo used to be, why not update his look in this movie and recast him as a more modern hero?
