Well, the original ending were to kill Rambo (as in the novel). The end would had seen Colonel Trautman forced to shoot and kill Rambo, just as Rambo is about to shoot the injured Teasle and kill him.
Rambo II is the greatest straight-up action movie of all time. The Rambo trilogy is greatest action series of all time. Much like Rocky, there's no way you could just stop at one, and retooling the format for the sequels was ingenious because it gave us bigger and cooler things but still staying to true to the original character.

While I like Rambo 2 and 3 I still think all the movies including the first pale in comparrison to the novel. I also hate how they turned Teasle from being sympathetic and feeling regret for his actions to him being a stupid jerk bully who won't let Rambo get a bite to eat and ends up being so hateful he refuses to admit to any wrong doing. Not to mention Teasle in the book listened to Trautman about Rambo unlike the movie where no matter what Trautman says he insists Rambo is a stupid jerk who broke the law.
Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw share
The greatest action series of all time? I'm sorry, but I disagree. For me, the greatest action series of all time is the Die Hard series. Not only do they have great action, but they also have smart and well-developed plots, as well as great villains and memorable one-liners.
shareI'm sure there is an alternate dimension where there were no sequels to First Blood. But I'm glad I don't live in it.
shareSequels? What do you mean? There are no Sequels
shareThe sequels are great 80s action movies, like Arnold's. But yeah, they go against everything this movie stands for.
shareit would've been great if there were no sequels.

Or you do what I do and just ignore them. I watched the first sequel and haven't seen it since (not sure if I even watched to the end) nor have I seen any of the others.
First Blood just had a magic to it that was missing from the sequel and I assume the other sequels. They just became mindless action movies with no heart and no message.
Nonsense.
First Blood is indeed a kind of Deliverance style of film but Rambo: First Blood Part 2 is one of the finest action films of all time.
I'm absolutely glad it was made - it's pre CGI era effects are superb and it trailblazed the 80s action hero genre. Definitely a film which will stand the test of time as much as the original.
