He is tracked down there by his old commanding officer, played by Richard Crenna in a repeat of his own role in 'Rambo III.' Sheen wants to stay where he is, until Crenna tells him a story that makes him realize he is needed for a dangerous mission in the Middle East. The Sheen character, patterned on the Stallone original, is a pumped-up man of few words, who at the beginning of the film has left his life of action and violence to live a life of contemplation with monks in a remote Eastern land. The movie is directed by Jim Abrahams, who was one of the perpetrators of ' Airplane!' (1980), the satirical parody that spawned this and many other films, including ' Top Secret!' ' The Naked Gun' and the original 'Hot Shots!' The current film takes 'Rambo III' as its starting place, with lots of loving little touches. The other principal female character in the movie, played by Brenda Bakke, is named Michelle Rodham Hudleston. The Golina character is named Ramada Rodham Hayman.
