| rdfs:comment | - Although most commonly see the Rambo films as stereotypical action movies, that is not true. Each film was produced to draw attention to a crisis in the world. The first film was to draw attention to the poor treatment troubled Vietnam veterans were receiving when they got home. The second film drew attention to the American P.O.Ws who were still in Vietnam. The third film was made to draw attention to Soviet atrocities against the Afghan people. The fourth film was made to draw attention to the genocide in Burma. So history is already critical in these films, but there is also more smaller historical influences.
