The Vietnam War & the Movies — Rambo’s Not Done Yet
Speaking of Vietnam War-related movies — as seen in previous posts and the book The Afterlife of America’s War in Vietnam — Sylvester Stallone is bringing back the Vietnam vet action-hero for another outing. The character was last seen in the 80s, in the films First Blood, Rambo: First Blood, Part II, and Rambo III. Now, on the heels of Stallone’s update of his Rocky series, the actor-director-writer-producer revisits the character who was so popular that even Ronald Reagan commented approvingly.
According to the Internet Movie Database, Rambo will be released in January 2008.
A good background piece on the upcoming Rambo film recently appeared in the Los Angeles Times.
