Poorly-veiled knock-off of the Rambo movies
The real star of Red Scorpion (an '80s action-adventure movie set in the fictional African country of Mombaka) is the glistening, muscle-bound torso of actor Dolph Lundgren.

Rather than being killed outright, he is forced to undergo a shamanic initiation ritual.
