* On a horrifying note, Rambo 4 has the most disturbing case of ShownTheirWork. How Burma is presented in the film is only the ''beginning''. Like we've previously mentioned, the M2 Browning does a LOT of damage to soft and squishy targets. In fact, ScreenRant has an article that mentions the gore presented in the final battle. According to ScreenRant, some critics have claimed the damage done by .50 BMG rounds in the film is "unrealistic". ScreenRant states that War Veterans who have used .50 Caliber M2 Brownings in Iraq and Afghanistan beg to differ on those claims. The veterans state that not only was the damage realistic, '''the results were portrayed as LighterAndSofter than they would be real life'''. So basically, you've only been shown a toned-down version of what humans actually look like after an M2 Browning is done with them. Wait... WHAT!?

* One of the missionaries got fed to the pigs for looking at Maj. Tint the wrong way. We later see his legless corpse hanging in a cruciform pose over their sty.

* The ending battle is BloodierAndGorier compared with the earlier battles in the earlier sequels. Worse yet, it's a lot more accurate to real life compared to the earlier movies; getting shot with the machine gun Rambo uses in the climax will '''[[ShownTheirWork really]]''' do that kind of damage to a human body. When Rambo surveys the damage he wrought, he is disgusted [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and finally goes home.]]

* Tint is shown to be a sick child molester. We see in one scene (which could be deleted in the TV version) a young boy being brought to his hut. After stroking the boy's head in a very unpleasant way, Tint closes the door. We don't see what happens next (thankfully), but [[NothingIsScarier we probably don't need to...]]

** More so when you find out that, unfortunately, [[TruthInTelevision Burma in the movie is not]][[RealismInducedHorror far off from real-life Burma]]. To twist the knife further, while filming on the Thailand side of the country's border with Burma, Stallone commented that the cast and crew got to see the brutality first hand.

* The sickening brutality of the Burmese military towards the Karen villagers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBvNq0HyGHA The scene where they attack the village]] contains so much horror in the background and onscreen that becomes an awful game of FreezeFrameBonus to find them all.

* '''[[KnightOfCerebus Major Tint]]''', period. He's is even [[EvilerThanThou scarier]] than the ruthless colonel Zaysen from the preceding film.
* One of the missionaries got fed to pigs for looking at Maj. Tint the wrong way. We later see his legless corpse hanging in a cruciform pose over their sty.
* The Burmese army forcibly recruits boys to become soldiers. It suddenly dawns on you during the gang rape scene that those guys were probably pressganged from a young age. Then there's the boy who's left in [[PaedoHunt Major Tint's]] hands.
** For added horror, what were the girls doing there? It would be bad enough if they were kidnapped in one of the Burmese army's raids, but if they were taken at a young age like the boys, [[PaedoHunt the soldiers could've]]... [[{{Squick}} let's leave it at that]].
