Trivia:
Another ending, where Rambo commits suicide, was filmed, but test audiences found that conclusion to be too depressing, so the script called for Rambo to live, hence the sequels.

Seen by many as just another mindless action flick, this goes deeper
than most films of its kind. Yes, it is a classic 'one man army' movie,
and although i feel its sequel deals more with the disillusionment of
veterans, it is an effective look at a man trained only to
kill-destroyed by his government, forgotten by his people. Small town
exclusiveness, fear and small-mindedness are exploited to the full, and
if you give it a chance, this is actually a highly satirical movie. But
if you want to see explosions, guns and killings, which is what first
brought me to this film, then you can't find many better.
Stallone dispatches of the 'bad guys' using every inch of his Rambo's
training, and yes, from the start you know the cops don't have a hope.
The few roles which call for any substantial acting are done well, the
action is of a high quality, the music is memorable, and the script
sufficient. if you want deep characterisation then watch The Deer
Hunter, but for action, watch this. 8 out of 10
