Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo is all set to ride into gory battle once more inGet the Gringodirector Adrian Grunberg’sRambo: Last Bloodthis September. And for those of you out there that may have been worried that Stallone and company would go allThe Expendables 3on us and bring us a PG-13 entry in the Rambo saga, no worries.

Today we have word fromSylvester Stallonehimself over on Instagram that the newRambomovie has just snagged a “hard R” rating from the powers that be over at the MPAA. Specifically, Stallone writes this.

“Great day! We got our HARD R Rating today! What’s coming is going to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen…” …Death is coming," John said."

While it may seem silly to be worried this newRambomovie would go PG-13 on us, it’s not a completely unfounded fear. After all, as mentioned above,The ExpendablesandThe Expendables 2were super R-rated movies, and then out of nowhere the third entryThe Expendables 3was given a PG-13. And let’s not forgetUnderworld, andSwamp Thingdirector Len Wiseman served us up a PG-13Die Hardmovie back in 2007 withLive Free or Die Hard. And if aDie Hardmotion picture can be slapped with a PG-13 rating, there is no reason why this new (and final?) Rambo movie wouldn’t go the same route. I’m just glad they decided it was best to keep the seriesR-rated.

No specific reasons were given for the rating at this point in time. But if this new movie comes anywhere near the level of on-screen brutality and carnage the previousJohn Rambo moviedid, then we can all assume it’s rated R for endless gory massacres. And that sounds just right to this here movie fan.

For those of you out there that might not know,Rambo: Last Bloodis all set to star Sylvester Stallone as Green Beret and Vietnam War veteran John J. Rambo who travels to Mexico to save a friend’s daughter who has beenkidnapped by the Mexican cartel.
