Description

A T-Shirt from "Rambo" (aka "Rambo 4"). Lionsgate, 2008. Dark gray cotton, short sleeves, purposely distressed with a large 'bullet' hole on the left side and staining to resemble sweat; worn by Stallone in his last scene as "John Rambo". "This is funny and somewhat embarrassing. In the final scene of the film when Rambo is attacking the enemy with a machine gun, I get hit by a very powerful weapon coming from an enemy cruiser. The impact of the squib underneath my shirt was so powerful that I thought I was hit in the chest with a sledgehammer. When I looked down and saw the bullet hole was just above my heart, I said to the crew, "Guys, Rambo would be dead if he was really shot here!" So rather than re-shooting the scene because of lack of time, they CGI'd out the bullet hole in my shirt and raised it to be near the collar where it looked like a grazing shot instead of a lethal one. This is the first time I've ever admitted this to anyone! Even on the poster for this movie, you can see me trying to cover this hole which was just a huge mistake!"
