Rambo - Buddha Amulet - Pendant - (Zbox Januari 2020)

The Buddha Amulet was a good luck charm worn by Co Bao.
The Buddha Amulet was a pendant made out of a small hunk of apple green jadeite, a hard green gem. The amulet was carved into the likeness of Buddha and later was put onto a necklace.
The necklace first appeared in Rambo: First Blood Part II, worn by Co Bao for most of the film for good luck. After Co's death, Rambo took it and wore it for over four years. Four years later, Rambo was still wearing the necklace to remember Co, and at the end of the film he decided to move on with his life and stop killing, giving the pendant to a young Mujhaideen fighter as a symbol of this.

Rambo is an American media franchise centered on a series of action films. There have been five films released so far in the series: First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), Rambo (2008) and Rambo: Last Blood (2019). The films follow John Rambo, a US Army veteran played by Sylvester Stallone, who is traumatized by his experience in the Vietnam War, and uses the skills he gained there to fight corrupt police officers, enemy troops and drug cartels.

The franchise has its roots in the 1972 novel First Blood by David Morrell. Stallone co-wrote the screenplays of all five films, and directed Rambo.

The film series has grossed $819 million in total, with the most successful film, Rambo: First Blood Part II, grossing $300 million.

In addition to films, the franchise also spawned an animated television series and a series of comic books, novels, video games and a Bollywood remake.

The word pendant derives from the Latin word "pendere", and Old French word "pendre", both of which translate to "to hang down". It comes in the form of a loose-hanging piece of jewellery, generally attached by a small loop to a necklace, which may be known as a "pendant necklace". A pendant earring is an earring with a piece hanging down. In modern French "pendant" is the gerund form of “hanging” (also meaning “during”).Due to the extent to which the design of a pendant can be incorporated into an overall necklace it is not always accurate to treat them as separate items. In some case though the separation between necklace and pendant is far clearer.
