He is a bit long in the tooth to be Ramboing it up, but he should have done another Rambo considering the last one as decent, instead of those crappy Expendables flicks, couldn't even finish the last one.
Yeah, exactly. If he craps out a bunch more Expendables movies I'm gonna be pissed. Too old? Use a stunt double! I don't care. Just make the final movie!
If the last one was good then what's the incentive to make another one? Keep pumping them out until they're shit?
I respect the man for knowing his limits. I'm glad he decided to handle the Rocky mantle over to someone else instead of trying to keep it going himself, too.

I don't think it much about finding a "worthy"'script.
Stallone's a walking bundle of pain. His body can't the rigour anymore.
Filming in exotic places usually means you're pretty far away from hospitals if you get injured.
He just feels like a character that should have an end. "You live by the sword, you die by the sword." I feel like he should be brought to a bloody conclusion. It feels unfinished. Like a movie without a 5-10 minute resolution at the end.
So no, of course I don't think they should be pumped out until they're shit. It wouldn't matter if a new one was a little less intense than the previous film. It would just mean it would have to be approached a little differently, which is fine. This stupid Hollywood notion that everything has to be bigger, louder, bloodier, dumber each time is just what we're used to.
I was pleasantly surprised to have someone inform me the other week that Stallone has decided that's he's not too old after all (apparently) and he's planning to do the 5th Rambo film. That's a cruel game he's playing, getting our hopes down...
