After the success of 1982’s First Blood, and later Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Rambo III, Sylvester Stallone decided to focus on other characters and film projects. When he was approached about a fourth installment, he came onboard as the writer, director, and star of Rambo, the newest film about the war-weary Vietnam veteran who just wants a little respect.
This time, Rambo leads a solitary life in northern Thailand where he lives in the mountains and jungles, catching fish and poisonous snakes to sell. Because it’s Rambo, however, he won’t be able to stay out of trouble for long.
