Stallone offers challenge to Burma junta

Reuters : Not satisfied with slugging it out with Burma’s military Government on celluloid in his latest Rambo film, Sylvester Stallone wants to go there and confront the junta face-to-face over human rights. Stallone, who said he was gearing up to make a fifth and final instalment in the blood-and-guts series, said that media reports of his film becoming a bootleg hit in Burma, and an inspiration to dissidents, was a pinnacle in his movie career. These incredibly brave people have found, kind of a voice, in a very odd way, in American cinema… They’ve actually used some of the film’s quotes as rallying points,” Stallone, 61, said in a telephone interview.
“That, to me, is the one of the proudest moments I’ve ever had in film.”
