What happens

Rambo: The Force of Freedom (also known simply as Rambo) is a 1986 American animated series based on the character of John Rambo from David Morrell's book First Blood and the subsequent films First Blood (1982) and Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985). Though both the book and films were targeted strictly towards adults and featured extreme violence, Rambo: The Force of Freedom was targeted towards children. It was the first animated series to be adapted from an R-rated film series. This series was adapted for television by story editor/head writer Michael Chain and also spawned a toy line. The series ran for 65 episodes and was produced by Ruby-Spears Enterprises. It debuted on April 14, 1986, as a five-part miniseries and was renewed in September as a daily cartoon. While the series set in a separate universe which ignores the events of Rambo III (1988). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
