Okay, I GET IT!. I get that there are a lot of dollars on the line with major motion pictures. Since
Mel Gibson tapped into the Christian dollar at the box office there has been a growing trend by studios and distributors to get evangelicals to return to "The Church of Seats Over Sticky Floors".
The latest movie to promote themselves to various faith organizations is the popular franchise, "Rocky". Yeah, ROCKY! In this episode of ROCKY, Sylvester Stallone "resurrects" his role as Rocky Balboa and is now saying the character has always been based on the characteristics of Christ...um, RIGHT!
In this article from James Dobson's: Focus On The Family he also says that Rambo is a "Christian Warrior".
Here is an audio sample of the interview with Stallone.
I can almost see it now...Get ready for a Mr. T and Rocky rematch on a TBN station near you! AHHHHHH!!!
Let me also say just how pathetic and incredibly irresponsible and hypocritical this is of Focus on the Family. It sickens me that this organization would be the mouthpiece of an industry to a wide body of people who have trusted what FOF has said over the years. It's an abuse of their power equal to categorically endorsing a political candidate just because of their party affiliation.
