Correct. The book is way more insane. In the book he flees into the mountains and finds a group of moonshiners and hunters. He tells them he is a Green Beret and traveling and they give him food and a rifle as they don't know he escaped from police. He then uses the rifle to shoot down the helicopter. Then one by one begins killing the teams of cops who try to track him. He kills all of the police dogs as well.

He then goes into town and begins killing civilians and National Guard members. At this point the military have to send out a special team to kill him. Finally his former commander in the Army tracks him down and shoots him ending the rampage. Rambo kills the main sheriff as well simply because he's addicted to combat at that point.

The movie has Rambo kill no one except causing a helicopter accident where a guy leaps from the passenger cockpit like a retard. Rambo also survives in the movie. Giving us a dozen sequels.

There was also a subplot where the sheriff was a Korean War vet (the forgotten war) and he feels enmity towards Rambo because of it. At the same time he’s much more humanized almost by the way he succumbs to Rambo’s wounds. One of the saddest books I’ve ever read.

They original ending of the movie was close to the book as Rambo kill’s himself because he can’t adjust back to normal life after the war but test screenings really hated it - especially Vietnam vets - so they changed it to he just gets caught.

Crazy how Vietnam war movies were a thing for about a decade now anyone under 25 wouldn’t understand it or even knows about the Vietnam war / aftermath of Vietnam war.

First Blood - I remember the poster and just thinking I wanted to see it cause the guy in it had the biggest fucking gun I'd ever seen. It was well received but I still can't understand what Stallone is saying in the finale 'ugga bugga balloooo, then I ooobba gruuuba' - ugh. Rambo 2 was OTT and a huge success, I saw it a few years back and was pretty stunned how well the "I'm your worst nightmare" scene played out but Stallone really could/can act and I was impressed it still worked. 3 was confusing, lots of talking and too few spectacular action moments - the fire on the rock scene being the highlight. From memory the 3 poster is in schwarzenegger's Twins - as his career was continuing to ascend? I'm not fussed with the rest but kudos to Stallone for bringing machine-gun killing back.

All I remember about the third one is him playing dead goat polo with the Taliban.

I just watched twins for the first time in like 20 years the other day - Arnold walks by the Rambo poster and laughs at the size of Stallone’s biceps because Arnold’s were bigger. Same with Last Action Hero where Stallone is on the poster for Terminator 2. I liked how they fucked with each other over the years - like how Arnold tricked Sly into doing “Stop or my mom will shoot”
