Can you guess how many 10s of millions TheSlyStallone turned down for 'Rambo IV'?

Sylvester Stallone shot down more zeroes than John Rambo did enemy forces.

Stallone starred as the Vietnam War veteran in five movies: the original trilogy and two subsequent movies as part of a franchise reboot. The original movie “First Blood” was a critical and commercial darling with the subsequent two sequels being received less warmly.In a new interview, Stallone revealed that he was offered “Rambo IV” before “Rambo III” even came out. He turned down the offer and a whopping $34 million before the studio realized that a fourth film was inadvisable..

“Then they go, “We want ‘Rambo IV’. Here it is: Pay or play, 34.’ I go, ‘Let’s not jump the gun here…'” That was back in 1980s. Adjusting for inflation, that $34 million would go for around $85 million today.“For real. That’s not a joke,” Stallone said. “Oh boy, what an idiot. Now I think about that and… wow.”

Stallone eventually reunited with John Rambo on the 20-year anniversary of “Rambo III” with the 2008 movie “Rambo” and 2019’s “Rambo: Last Blood”.
