Some movie hunks just can't put the bandanna behind them.

According to an article posted on the Variety Web site, Sylvester Stallone is ready to jump back into the war weary John Rambo role for a fifth cinematic mission.

"Nu Image/Millennium Films has greenlit the franchise's fifth installment, with Sylvester Stallone starring and directing, repeating his duties from 2008's 'Rambo.'

"The upcoming project's storyline revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border. Production will start in the spring," the Variety article states.

Rambo's still lagging behind Stallone's rocky "Rocky" franchise.  Stallone, now 63, has been in the cinematic ring six times as gritty Rocky Balboa.
