Fun Fact: The latest Rambo movie is meant to be a Christian film
Sly Stallone is known for his tough guy image in the movies Rocky, Rambo, and even the recent Expendables. Sly grew up Catholic, but as his career moved forward he left. He began attending church again in the 2000s, and it became a large, somewhat shocking, part of his role in the latest Rambo film. In the film the atheist Rambo is tasked with escorting Christians through a hostile territory so that they can bring their faith, and their medicine, to the natives. The character is influenced by their faith, which may be an action movie plot, but seems to nail Stallone’s own faith journey pretty squarely. An action movie about attending church? Sure!
