Sylvester Stallone said he witnessed "a hellhole beyond your wildest dreams" while filming on the Burma border.
The actor and his movie crew were shooting "John Rambo", the fourth movie in the action series, on the Salween River separating Burma and Thailand.
"All the trails are mined. The only way into Burma is up the river."
Shots were fired over the film crew's heads and there were threats, he said.
He had first hand accounts, too, from the Burmese extras whose families were imprisoned.
Stallone returned eight days ago - before the crackdown last week against the largest pro-democracy protests in Burma in two decades.
He wants to retain the violence in the film - and is prepared to face the challenge from the film board
"This is full scale genocide. I want the violence in there because it is reality. It would be a whitewashing not to show what's over there," he said.
"I think there is a story that needs to be told," Stallone said. The film will be released in January.
