Rambo returns

He may be just a few years away from a free bus pass but Sylvester Stallone is primed to don Rambo's bloody bandana again.

The Rocky star, 58, says he is ready to resurrect his all-action hero, who appeared in three films in the 1980s.

Stallone, who met Hollywood producers to discuss bringing back the Vietnam vet, said: 'We're in the kitchen and cooking.'

Filming is due to start late this year, while Stallone (pictured) also works on Rocky VI.
