Sylvester Stallone is back on the big
screen beginning this Friday with a new Rambomovie: but this time, it has a real message. Twenty years
after his last Rambo flick, Stallone is starring in Rambo 3, which takes
the fighting and the horror in Burma and thrusts it into the
spotlight.
Stallone was on Spike TV's UFC Live in Las
Vegas, Nevada last night, at the Palms Hotel, a fan of the Ultimate
Fighting Championship and there to promote the new Rambo movie.
He
may be 61 years old, but Stallone actually looks great for his age, and
told UFC announcers at
last night's event that he wants to bring attention to the crisis in Burma
that no one is talking about. In the flick, a group of human rights
missionaries seek him out and ask him to guide them into Burma to deliver
medical supplies.
The aid workers are captured by the
Burmese army, and Rambo (Stallone) goes into the war zone to attempt to
rescue them. Of the real-life crisis, Stallone says, "You have one
small area with peasants being overwhelmed by this brutal military
force. They are picked out because they are Christians...The ongoing
threat of the Burmese was the biggest danger while we were shooting in
Thailand.'
"Life is very cheap over there, you can get shot and
nobody will ever find you."
Bringing attention to a huge cause...would you
watch?
