Apparently the title JOHN RAMBO was just too simple for Lionsgate’s taste, so they’ve decided to change the title to RAMBO TO HELL AND BACK. Now, is that just a general description of Rambo’s life – or is it a spoiler for the movie, telling us he comes back from the hell he visits this time around? Ponder amongst yourselves…

If you’re keeping count, this is like the sixth title for the 4th Rambo installment so far. Previously it was known as HOLY WAR, IN THE SERPENT’S EYE, PEARL OF THE COBRA, among others… Now it’s TO HELL AND BACK. I personally dug “JOHN RAMBO” but whatever, as long as he’s still ripping throats out with his bare hands, they can call it JOHN RAMBO AND THE KITTEN CABOODLE and my ass would still find itself in the theater. All that counts is that it’s still scheduled to beat us down January 25.
