Am I the only one that thought that Rambo was supposed to be Native American? Or at least partially so?
Anywho... this is NOTHING like the sequels. The basic plot was that a small town tries to bully a Vietnam Vet and gets a little more than they bargained for.
it was more dramatic, it had more character, and had a better story than just about anything that followed. And it worked as a survivalist action movie as well.
