Little tidbit; The last baddie leader dude that Sly stabbed and cut in half with his forged knife, was actually one of the real Burma freedom fighters. He fled, leaving his whole family behind and Sly gave him the part that he played, because the guy wanted to help portray the soldiers as evil as they really are.
I will be there for this new one! I hope it has the same intensity as the last one. No more Rambo holding back, like in the other movies. The man's a killing machine! That last movie was Rambo how he was always supposed to be.
Colonel Troutman: "Rambo was trained for one purpose...to fight...with guns....with knives...with his bare hands, to ignore pain, ignore weather.... to live off the land, and EAT things that would make a billy goat puke! In Vietnam, his job was to kill! Period! Win by attrition! And Rambo was the best!"
Rambo: "They drew first blood.....not me!"
Man, this news just made my day!
Maybe that's the girl he has to save/ rescue
