Stallone says 'Rambo' is inspiring Myanmar rebels
"Either live for something, die for nothing — it's your choice," the 61-year-old actor-director said Saturday in a phone call from Paris, where he is promoting the movie, the fourth in a series.
"Students have now used this film as a rallying point and are using the quote, thinking maybe the American military will intervene and save them," he said.
"Rambo" has the disaffected Vietnam vet John Rambo trying to find missionaries captured by Myanmar soldiers, who are shown razing villages and killing civilians.
