Mount Kinabalu in Rambo 4?

It has been blogged by others and also out in the local news about possibility of a footage in Rambo 4 that believed to be the majestic Mount Kinabalu. I watched the movie my self to look for the footage and capture the following: and a crop of the footage: and look at the following photo by Louis Phang (Sabah International Award winning wedding photographer) to compare the picturesque of both: If it is true that the film was using the Kinabalu footage and no credit was given to Sabah and Malaysia, it's really not fair although it may be taken from a stock photo. This movie was a block buster. Judge yourself.. This footage is after Rambo rescued the woman and before missing alert happened. Its very nice morning in this place, I wonder where was this footage taken..

This is I believe a copter for rent because I saw some people went in and out from the helipad near to the Tanjung Aru Hotel. Taken with Olympus E1 and 14-45mm. My daughter at Tanjung Aru beach. It is not really nice sky but I plan to go here again next time, just 30mins from my house. Taken with Olympus E1 and 14-45mm. It was low tide this morning, therefore can walk quite far from the usual beach. Taken with Olympus E1 and 14-45mm. I was at my parent house at Kinasaraban, the clouds were always visible in this region. Its like above the clouds. Olympus E3 and 70-300mm. Rain will start to spread anytime of the day. Olympus E1 and 40-150mm. My village and a Jimny 4WD car. I wish to have better super wide lens, but I think its enough for n
