Rambo IV goes after the "Passion dollars"!

Well, perhaps I exaggerate. But check out this Production Weekly synopsis for the upcoming Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye:
The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.
For some reason, this reminds me of an A-Team episode that I have heard about but never seen, in which George Peppard tells a nun something like, "People like me make the world safe for people like you." This also reminds me of Tears of the Sun (2003; my review; my article), in which Bruce Willis and his team of Navy SEALs get the blessing of some imperilled missionaries.
