Rambo Films[]
It was the main antagonist of Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III.
The Soviet Union banned the release of the second and third films, and were also Vietnam's greatest ally after the war, so Rambo II was very factual. The Soviet Union also wond up pulling out of Afghanistan just little over a week of the release of Rambo III. Unlike Vietnam, which was the Soviet Union's ally, John Rambo never has actually been to the country. The closest he has been is Afghanistan, where he launched a one man war on the Soviets and their brutal commander.
