Naturally, ‘Rambo: Last Blood’ Has Been Rated “R” for “Grisly Images” and “Graphic Violence”
Don’t be fooled by the kids toys and the animated series: Rambo has always been a rated “R” franchise and that violent tradition continues with new installment Rambo: Last Blood.
This year’s fifth installment in the franchise has been rated “R” for:
Strong graphic violence, grisly images, drug use and language.
Sylvester Stallone, you may recall, had announced the “hard R” rating over on Instagram a few weeks back, but the MPAA hadn’t officially reported the rating until this week.
Sergio Peris-Mencheta (“Snowfall”) will be playing Rambo’s latest adversary. The actor will play the cartel’s brutal leader, Hugo Martinez.
Yvette Monreal, Adriana Barraza, Paz Vega, Oscar Jaenada and Joaquin Cosio also star.
Adrian Grunberg directed from a script by Matt Cirulnick and Stallone.
Rambo makes his last stand on September 20, 2019.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
