The final day of Cannes was devoted to honouring Sylvester Stallone, who conducted a masterclass on the Croisette, where he looked back at his 43-year career and discussed how he never intended Rambo to get so political. Stallone spent much of the hour-and-a-half-long talk discussing his Rocky and Rambo characters. He said that the latter character “was never by any means meant to be a political statement, but it became one — it took on a life of its own.”
New teaser footage of Rambo: The Last Blood was unveiled in the evening and a restored, 4K version of Rambo: First Blood will be screened in the main Grand Theatre Lumiere to close out this year’s festival.
