Summary / Synopsis:
A soft-spoken Vietnam vet drifts into a small town looking for no trouble, but finds it in the form of a psychotic local sheriff who finds pleasure in hating him for no reason. After being locked up in the local jail, he escapes into the nearby forest where he becomes a one-man army bent on revenge. When thing get out of hand the vet's ex-Colonel comes in with the military to convince him to give up the stand-off.
Production Notes:
The name "Rambo" came from a brand of apples of the same name.
There are numerous differences to the book. In the novel, John Rambo dies.
Stallone asked for $3.5 million for his role. Producers Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna told him he could have $2 million. The extra one and a half million came from television sales.
Kirk Douglas dropped out of the film and Richard Crenna was cast at the last second (he wanted Rambo to die at the end, as in the novel).
