Rare card · No. 27235

Rambo is a 2008 war action film co-written and directed by Sylvester Stallone. A sequel to Rambo III (1988) and an American-German co-production, it is the fourth installment in the Rambo film series based on the character created by author David Morrell. Stallone stars as John Rambo, who leads a group of mercenaries into Burma to rescue Christian missionaries, who have been kidnapped by a local infantry unit. The film co-stars Julie Benz, Paul Schulze, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish, Rey Gallegos, Tim Kang, Jake La Botz, Maung Maung Khin, and Ken Howard. Rambo is dedicated to the memory of Richard Crenna, who had played Colonel Sam Trautman in the previous films and died in 2003. The rights to the Rambo franchise were sold to Miramax Films in 1997 after Carolco Pictures went bankrupt. Miramax intended to produce a fourth film but Stallone was unmotivated to reprise the role. The rights were then sold to Nu Image and Millennium Films in 2005, who green-lit the film before the release...
