While the crew was filiming Rambo in Thailand, the Tatmadaw were just over the border watching very carefully. They even fired shots over the heads of the actors including Sylvester Stallone, because they didn't want the movie to be made. Instead of the Chinese Norinco Type 56, the Tatmadaw all use Soviet Kalashiknov AKMs. This is kind of strange considering their geography is closer to China than Russia. However, some soldiers can be seen with Type 56s, despite the fact that almost all the soldiers use AKs.
