Sly saves the day

In the fourth Rambo film (2008), which boasts more on-screen deaths (262) than any of the other films in the franchise, Vietnam veteran John Rambo, played by Sylvester Stallone, once again saves the day. While enjoying a simple and secluded life capturing snakes for a living in Thailand, Sly’s peace is disturbed by a group of Christian human rights missionaries who appeal for him to ferry them on a dangerous trip upriver into Burma. Sly reluctantly agrees and, after running into all kinds of trouble, ends up defeating the Burmese army. When speaking to reporters about the film, Stallone confronted the Burmese junta: ‘If they think this movie is a fantasy, I welcome the opportunity to let me come over there and walk around the country without armed guards following me every inch of the way.’
