Sly's UK Rambo Return

Sylvester Stallone's been talking about the death threats he received while filming Rambo.

Talking to Heart at the film's UK premiere in London on Tuesday night he said: "I got them all the time it's a very dangerous part of the world. A lot of people do disappear and you know they didn't want this film to be made."

"The civil wars have been going on for 60 years and no one knows about it because they pay a fortune to keep it quiet."

Twenty years have passed since Rambo last appeared on the big screen, now 61-year-old Sly has revived the franchise with this fourth instalment in which Vietnam veteran John Rambo is called back into action to rescue a group of Christian Aid workers held hostage by Burmese militia.

He added: "This is the greatest action film, mainly because it's a real story. As we are speaking people are being destroyed. Hopefully we can bring awareness to this."

Asked what the secret was to his fitness regime his answer was "fish, fish, fish".
