Overpowering Teasle and holding a knife to his throat, Rambo threatens to "give him a war he won't believe" if Teasle does not give up the pursuit, before retreating further into the woods. Using guerrilla tactics, Rambo non-lethally subdues the deputies, using improvised booby traps and his bare hands, until only Teasle is left. It is later revealed that Rambo is an ex- Green Beret and recipient of the Medal of Honor, but Teasle, bent on revenge, arrogantly refuses to turn the manhunt over to the State Police. Rambo tries to persuade Teasle and his men that Galt's death was an accident and that he wants no more trouble, but the officers hit him with a non-lethal shot, and force him to flee once more. With the aid of a pair of binoculars, Teasle identifies Galt's corpse at the bottom of the cliff, just beside the creek. Galt, who had removed his safety harness in order to get a better firing angle, loses his balance and falls to his death on the rocks below. With Galt still shooting at him, Rambo throws a rock at the helicopter with his uninjured arm, cracking its windshield and causing the pilot to briefly lose control. Realizing that he is an open target, Rambo leaps from the cliff and lands on a tree branch, injuring his right arm. Having spotted Rambo attempting to climb down a cliff over a creek, Galt defies Teasle's orders and attempts to shoot Rambo from the helicopter. Teasle organizes a search party with automatic weapons, dogs, and a helicopter. He overwhelms the patrolmen and Teasle, reclaims his knife, fights his way out of the station, steals a motorcycle, and flees into the woods. When they try to dry-shave him with a straight razor, Rambo snaps.
Led by the sadistic chief deputy Art Galt, Teasle's officers pressure Rambo, triggering flashbacks of the torture he endured as a POW in Vietnam. Against his wishes, Teasle arrests Rambo on charges of vagrancy, resisting arrest, and possessing a concealed knife before bringing him to the police station. As Teasle drives off headed back into the town, he spots Rambo trying to return. Teasle drives Rambo to the outskirts out of the town before dropping him off and telling him that Portland, where Rambo had initially said he was headed, lies straight ahead. John Rambo is a Vietnam War veteran, who makes his way to the outskirts of a small town called Hope, Washington, in search of an old comrade, only to learn that his friend had died the previous year of cancer, brought on by exposure to Agent Orange during the war.Įntering the town, Rambo meets the sheriff, Will Teasle, who ridicules Rambo due to his unkempt hair, army jacket, and generally messy appearance. Its success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels (co-written by and starring Stallone), an animated television series, a comic books series, a novel series, several video games, and Indian remakes. Since its release, it has been reappraised by critics, with many highlighting the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre. In 1985, it also became the first Hollywood blockbuster to be released in China, holding the record for the largest number of tickets sold for an American film until 2018. Initial reviews were mixed, but the film was a box office success, grossing $156 million at the box office.
