Actress Julie Benz hated filming scenes for Rambo in Thailand - because she was so far removed from her Hollywood luxuries.

Benz - who plays Sarah, Stallone's onscreen sidekick in the 2008 sequel - found it difficult filming in the constant heat, and despised her temporary living conditions.

She says, "We spent two months in the jungle without the luxuries of filming in Los Angeles.

"My trailer looked like a 1952 bomb shelter with what appeared to be the original bedding - it looked like it had never been washed.

"The heat was extreme and we all lost a lot of weight. I got too thin on that movie. Also, I had to have like 27 vaccinations before I could even get on the plane to go there, I was taking malaria pills, there were poisonous snakes; one day an elephant crashed through the set after escaping from a nearby camp!

"You never knew what was going to happen next, but as tough as it was - being away from friends and family, the lack of luxury, the language barrier - it was also really exciting. Moviemaking shouldn't be on a comfy soundstage in L.A., it should be out there in the field."

Rambo star Julie Benz is pleased her ice skating career was cut short after a devastating injury - because it allowed her to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress.

The 36-year-old was a promising ice skater as a child, but she was forced out of the sport at the age of 14 after she was injured.

But Benz believes the accident was a blessing in disguise.

She explains, "No, I was happy. I was going to retire from figure skating anyway so when I got a stress fracture it wasn't like I'd been struck down.

"It's a tough sport and I'd been doing it for seven days a week since the age of three, so I was ready to give it up."

Actress Julie Benz is reluctant to star in another horror movie - because filming scenes for Saw V left her terrified.

The 36-year-old joins actors Tobin Bell and Meagan Good as character Brit in the upcoming installment of the slasher franchise.

And Benz has hinted it could be her last appearance in the genre.

She says, "The thing is, I don't watch horror movies and stuff because they scare me too much. I've just finished a role on Saw V and it gave me nightmares.

"I honestly don't think I'll be able to watch the movie. Just making it, I was a wreck."

Actress Julie Benz loved working with Sylvester Stallone on the latest Rambo movie - because he was an unexpected fountain of knowledge.

Benz plays Sarah, Stallone's new onscreen sidekick in the fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise.

And Dexter star Benz enjoyed her time on-set with the legendary action man - because he would teach her something new every day.

She explains, "He's incredibly intelligent. Every day he would tell me some random fact. He knows everything about everything."
