In the film it's stated that Lewis is an SAS soldier and that Schoolboy is SBS, both are special forces from England. The movie however never states the military background of Reese, En-Joo, and Diaz, but here on the Wiki, it's says that Reese was an Army Ranger and Delta Force Soldier, En-Joo was a Navy Seal and that Diaz was a Green Beret.
Does anyone knows where where this information can be found? it was stated by Sly somewhere? The most I know is that En-Joo uses a Luminox Navy SEAL watch, Reese uses a M4A1 carbine with M203 grenade launcher, which is commonly used by the Delta Force and that Diaz has a knife that kinda looks like the ones used by Green Berets. But does any hardcore Rambo fans actually knows if they were confirmed to be in those Special Forces?

Hey y’all I noticed Rambo has a fandom but Rocky/Creed doesn’t! How come!?
Something I was made aware of and decided to share with you guys.
The following is an Indiegogo campaign that you may or may not have heard of - featuring two comics that serve as prequels to First Blood.
The first comic is a graphic novel called "First Kill" and deals with John's first tour; John having previously gotten in trouble with the law and went for boot camp rather than prison, with him and his new group of friends arriving in Vietnam with hopes of a little action.
The story is by Sylvester Stallone and comic writer Chuck Wilson, who also wrote the comic's script.
The second comic, "A New Kind of War", has been scripted by Scottish author Will "The Critical Drinker" Jordan - writer of the bestselling Ryan Drake action-thriller book series and of which a short film based off the series (called Rogue Elements) has been successfully funded.
This marks Will's first foray into comics, with the artwork by Kenneth Loh and the story focusing on Colonel Trautman when he was a young special ops soldier during the Korean War - sent on a mission deep behind enemy lines and learning the lessons that would lead him to form Rambo's unit in Vietnam.
Here's the Indiegogo link with more information: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/first-kill-graphic-novel#/
If a 6th movie doesn’t work what about a tv series that picks up where Last Blood left off or what about when Rambo was younger during Vietnam? In my opinion I think a tv series could work like Sylvester Stallone should even be executive producer on this series and star in it if it’s a sequel.
Like It Future Japanese
There's a solid argument to be made that Rambo really should've never been a franchise at all - the original, First Blood, was such a potent, effective thriller about post-war trauma, but the sequels quickly descended into empty-headed, ultra-violent schlock. And so it was something of a relief that 2019's Rambo: Last Blood categorically closed the book on John Rambo's (Sylvester Stallone) journey, not by killing him, but having him scarcely survive and then literally ride off into the sunset at the end. In the movie's end credits, we see a wounded Rambo saddle up his horse and ride off, intercut with a montage of footage from the four previous Rambo movies, making it categorically clear that the then-73-year-old Stallone was finally sunsetting the action icon. It's just as well, given that Last Blood was by far the lowest-grossing entry into the series and, in addition to negative reviews, was even disparaged by First Blood author David Morrell. Though Stallone hasn't entirely ruled out a sixth film, between Last Blood's ending, Stallone's age, and the general reception to the fifth film, John Rambo's time is clearly over.
For those who don't know, Rambo was one of the DLC guest characters for the 2020 game Mortal Kombat 11 - with the others including The Joker, Spawn, Robocop and the Terminator. Sylvester Stallone reprised his role for the character - both for his voice and for the motion capture.
The ending of his "Klassic Towers" fights has him taking on Kronika - a Titan and the Keeper of Time who intends to use the power of her hourglass to reset history.
If Rambo beats her, the following ending plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_7IS-ChDjY
All in all, what do you think of this ending?
Some may not be aware that Rambo is based on a series of novels by the author, David Morrell. While Morrell has expressed his enjoyment of some films in the franchise, in particular 2008’s Rambo, he has also been critical of the film adaptations. Most recently, David Morrell has said stated that he absolutely despised 2019’s Rambo: Last Blood, a sentiment that was shared by critics and fans alike.
In First Blood - Part II, Rambo meets Co Bao - a Vietnamese Freedom Fighter whom becomes a notable ally and a potential love interest for Rambo.
Sadly, she loses her life after been shot by Lieutenant Tay following a romantic moment between herself and John (along with a plan of going back to America together to start a new life with him).
Question if, what if things had happened differently and she managed to survive to the end of the film?
In this scenario, maybe she reacted in time and Tay only hit her once with a glancing/non-fatal blow - with her managing to survive to the end and help Rambo free the remaining P.O.W's before she and Rambo headed back to America together.
Do you think her and Rambo's relationship would have been a good one?
Also, do you think the remaining Rambo movies have still happened in some way, shape or form?
Curious to see what you guys think.

#1: Major Pa Tee Tint: Not only does he commit mass genocide on small Karen villages, but he also commits acts of molestation on young boys and uses women as sex slaves. So he takes the top spot without a doubt.
#2: The Martinez Brothers: They forcefully prostitute young women and sell them into sexual slavery. Definitely not as evil as Tint, but still up there.
#3: Col. Podovsky: If this man isn't a cold and calculating bad guy, I don't know who is. Podovsky (and Lt. Tay as well) kept plenty of POWs locked away and saw them as less than human, and even tortured Rambo for information.
#4: Col. Zaysen: I honestly find him the lamest Rambo villain, but as far as villainy goes, he doesn't do a whole lot of evil things, at least not on-screen. The only thing he does that truly counts as villainous is torturing Trautman for information.
#5. Sheriff Teasle: I honestly think that Teasle is the most complex actiob movie villain. He believes what he's doing is to protect his town, when really he's just another overzealous police officer. Overall, I would say he's the least evil villain in the series.
Here's mine:
1) First Blood (Rambo I)
I guess no one disagrees with this
2) Rambo: First Blood - Part 2 (Rambo II)
Though everyone agrees with FB being the best, the Rambo from this movie is what everyone thinks about when the character is mentioned
3) Rambo (Rambo IV)
I actually really, really like this movie. Didn't expect it to be this good
4) Rambo III
The decision between this and R4 came to small details here and there
5) Rambo: Last Blood (Rambo V)
Don't let the last position fool you: I think this is a great movie and a refreshing break on the whole SJW thing.

I can't find any information about the "Rambo: To Hell and Back - Director's Production Diary" documentary film released in 2010. Is there a page for it?
