There are no safe rocks left for Osama when Rambo returns!
Except that Rambo IV won't be about terrorism, but the (hill-country, nominally Christian) Karen people of Burma/Thailand and their fight for a homeland. Which is a pity, considering all the good things Rambo did for the people of Afghanistan when he was there in his last movie.
TRUE STORY!
My high school roommate, who lived in Kabul, said that back in the day he went to the graduation ceremony for some Afghans who attended mujahedin school (a whole week of AK-47s, RPGs, and land mines!). They had a traditional Afghan meal, and then watched Rambo III, which was considered a wholly accurate depiction of the war against the USSR.
