The film was supposed to be the last Rambo
Sylvester Stallone originally wrote the screenplay for Internal front to make it the final chapter of the Rambo saga. This idea, while attractive, was eventually abandoned:
“I was attracted to this idea and the plot would work well. As I worked on the script, we did extensive research on methamphetamine addicts, the war on drugs, and how drugs have insidiously infiltrated the entire country. It’s a monstrous drug. But eventually I made Rocky Balboa and changed my priorities,” Stallone explained in the film’s press kit.
During the filming ofConsumables 2 in Bulgaria, Sylvester Stallone presented the script to Jason Statham. Excited with the script, Statham went on to express his desire to star in the film. “He kept telling me, ‘I want to do it, I want to do it, I want to do it!’ In the end I gave him my consent because I told myself that if he insisted so much it was because he had to be sincere“Stallone said.
At the box office, Internal front it wasn’t a huge success, earning only $48 million global box office, for a budget of around 22 million. In France, the film attracted more than 600,000 spectators.
