Generation to generation dictatorship is handed over and over ignoring its people's desire. The Burmese people have been waiting for some one, of course RAMBO, to end the never-ever-ending-gun-ruling era of these tyrannical SPDC thugs. Actually, the people of Burma also needs the Redeemer as do the captured missisonaries. So, RAMBO, why not to come to Rangoon City to rescue our Lady Suu Kyi and her supporters whom butcher-like SPDC have jailed them for decades. Have you ever heard about INSEIN JAIL? Someone says," If there is Hell on Earth, it must be Insein Jail."She and her friends are dying soon if there is no rescuer like RAMBO.

Yea,here, "Rambo" I was crazy about this film while I was in a primary school in Thantlang, Chin State.I am amazed and thrilled that he is going to rambo again in this jungle of rarely explored Burma. I hope Rambo alone could fight any kind of juntas in in the world. But, he must come here with a very fast chopper with long legs so it could land down at any place since Burma has only few airports. Caution: Hey, Big Rambo, don't forget to bring your Burmese natioanal ID card to enter Burma. he he !!!! I have seen Stallone’s films since my childhood. Yea,here,

Of course, that won't be who Rambo is fighting, but hey, I don't think Stallone is going to let good ethnography stand in the way of a good story, and pirates are always a good story. I just hope Mel Gibson is the co-star! Back in the early 1990s their were KNU “pirates” extracting money from the largely Thai fishing boats in the waters the SLORC opened up for fishing concessions.

Assuming that the Kanchanaburi entrance to eastern Burma is inaccessible due to Thai/SLORC/drug-lords/ethnic-militias, the only way to enter Burma would be from the sea. Once he gets inside the country, he'll be fighting SLORC soldiers in the jungles, ala Rambo II. I hope that Rambo has finally found his moral compass. In Rambo II he was fighting the Vietnamese and in Rambo III he was aiding the Taliban. With the SLORC, *finally* he has found villains that the world can hiss at without cringing! :-) Pirates off the rocky southwest coast of Burma.

And pirates? How did pirates get into landlocked jungles of Burma? I'm not sure I've actually seen any of the old Rambo movies, but I fear I will be compelled to watch this one. -Tara I’ve been seeing rumors about this movie for the last few months, but it looks like this is the first official synopsis I’ve seen.
