Production notes

VERY toned down from the Rambo films, Rambo is now a member of a rag-tag force of heroes called "The Force of Freedom," a liberal-minded and ethnically-mixed group of men and women, each with his or her own combat specialties. Rambo and the Freedom Force always seemed to come up against the evil organization SAVAGE, led by renegade General Warhawk.
