Rambo star Sylvester Stallone has made millions playing the underdog and saving the day in a variety of global hotspots.

This time he goes to Burma to help a group of human rights workers who are trying to get inside strife-torn nation to deliver medical supplies.

You can expect Stallone to be victorious on the screen in his latest Rambo flick which opens this week.

But Stallone said the real victory will come with democratic reforms in Burma adding he wanted the movie to reflect real world events.

‘The situation in Burma, there has been a large civil war in the world and it’s been 60 years. So I thought if there is going to be another Rambo, let it be about something that actually exists. Though we are giving you an entertaining film, we’ll also be able to help some people who are facing life and death every day,” said Stallone.

The British newspaper, Daily Mail, quoted leading actor Sylvester Stallone as saying: “I witnessed the aftermath [in Burma]—survivors with legs cut off and all kinds of land mine injuries, maggot-infested wounds and ears cut off.

“We saw many elephants with blown-off legs. We hear about Vietnam and Cambodia, but this was more horrific,” he reportedly said.

“This is a hellhole beyond your wildest dreams,” Stallone said. “All the trails are mined. The only way into Burma is up the river.”

The fourth in a series of Rambo films, this time the Hollywood action hero heads into the Burmese jungle to rescue Western missionaries abducted by the Burmese military.

Many Burmese are planning to watch the movie; but several have different expectations, reported the Irrawady newspaper.

A Burmese university student in Bangkok said that he was excited about the upcoming Rambo movie. “I think that it will be fun to watch this movie,” he said.

A young Burmese living in Canada said he sees the movie as a chance to raise awareness about the situation of the indigenous people in Burma to an international level. However, he pointed out that if this were a movie that was “supporting missionaries,” it would hold contradicting views among Burmese communities.

On the same day that He is Back is released, members of the Burmese community in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the United States, will organize a photo exhibition of Burmese people who have been killed or oppressed by the military regime.

They said they will also distribute pamphlets with the message: “Stop Killing, Support Free Burma, Join our Movement, Free Burma” while wearing saffron-colored T-shirts. 

Several Hollywood celebrities have recently shown interest in the Burma crisis and have helped increase awareness of the situation. 

During the military crackdown on monks and protesters, comedian Jim Carrey joined the Burma campaign and called for the release of Burmese democracy icon, Aung San Su Kyi via Internet site YouTube.

Other movie stars, namely Eric Szmanda, who stars in the award-winning series CSI, and Walter Koenig, a member of the Star Trek series cast, recently visited Karen refugee camps along the Thai border.

Well-known Burmese film director and comedian Zarganar said that the Hollywood celebrities had become interested in Burmese issues following the demonstrations in September 2007.

“I think the Saffron Revolution was the force that increased the interest of Hollywood people in Burma. I never realized that so many American movie stars had come to visit Burma.”
