Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

Is it accurate to say "The events depicted in Rambo III eerily foreshadowed the war in Afghanistan following September 11th, 2001"?--Darrelljon 21:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I haven't watched the movie recently, but don't think so. It should however be noted that the movie quickly became dated when the SU left Afghanistan. // Liftarn

Rambo was defending the Northern Alliance from the Soviet Union. The war in 2001 was primarily about the US military attacking the Taliban, but the Northern Alliance gained as a side effect.--Darrelljon 13:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Not true, there was no northern alliance..besidies the warriors in the movie are all pashtun and speak pashto...the traitor speaks dari or Tajiki. Omerlives

as an action movie it delivers,but its message at the end, is not worth my spit" "the brave adghan pepole" yeah right!

It's a 1988 film, pal. There is no way they would know.

Not all Aphganies are anti-american. // Godaiger

The weapons we (United States) armed the Afghanis with were the same ones used later to fight their other wars. The taliban came as a direct result of the Soviet Afghan war while groups were vying for power post war. Foreshadowing? Hardly.

I've added a link to the Moviecheat.com page on Rambo III. This happens to be my site, and there's some great stuff in our Rambo articles. It's totally legit and content-based; I'm a real person and it's a real site, and I think truly worth linking from here. I've checked the rules and it shouldn't be a problem to add this as long as it's relevant and informative. But if anyone truly has a problem, feel free to revert.Rasi2290

I'm removing the Osama bin Laden reference. He may have become the most well known person who had fought as a mujahideen, and someone can include a reference in that language if they want, but he current wording implies he was influential in the outcome of the war, or prominent among other fighters on the Afghan side, which he was note.
