Jan 26, 2012 · Height: 6'1 (186 cm) Weight: 182 lbs (82 kg) Yeah, Rambo is kind of old-school, but I saw the movie the other day and that physique suits me. We pretty much have the same built (body structure) except he has little more muscles, less body fat and off course does cool lines (muscles or bones?) along the rib cage.

Nowadays 5'8.5, peak height was definitely 176cm, he's barefoot in Tango and Cash with Kurt Russel and he looks about the same height, if not a lil bit taller actually. And in Rambo first blood at the police station he looked 176cm next to the rest of the cast.
- Rambo doesn’t actually kill anyone in the movie. Over the years, ‘Rambo’ has become a byword for large-scale action movies with an absurdly big body count.
- The ‘Rambo knife’ gave a massive boost to the cutlery industry. Aside from his red headband, the thing that really defines Rambo physically in the original First Blood is his eye-popping survival knife.
- An alternate ending was shot in which Rambo is killed by Trautman. Originally, the film First Blood ended the same way David Morrell’s source novel did, with Rambo being shot and killed by Colonel Trautman.
- The film pushed back production on Rocky III. First Blood proved to be a somewhat gruelling production, shot almost entirely on location under fairly harsh weather conditions.
- A War You Won’t Believe. What do you think the body count for First Blood is — 20, 30, 300? I mean, it would have to be high, right? It’s Rambo! The film is centered around a hardened Vietnam War-era Green Beret running around with a giant knife and an M60 waging a one-man war against a local sheriff and his deputies and the National Guard.
- Stallone Wasn’t the First Choice for the Role. Several actors were considered for the role of Rambo before Sylvester Stallone was cast as the lead. Al Pacino considered the role, but he ultimately turned it down, as he felt that Rambo wasn’t eccentric or crazy enough — this likely came as a surprise to no one.
- People Got Hurt. As one might expect with the filming of an action movie, a few people were injured during the making of First Blood. Most notably, in the scene where Rambo escapes the local jail, he slide-kicks and then elbows a sheriff’s deputy in the face, leaving him lying on the floor screaming in pain.
- The Actual Military Had to Get Involved. Filming of First Blood actually took place in Canada, and due to Canada’s strict gun laws, these weapons had to be imported from the United States.
Aug 16, 2012 · Stallone recalls the first cut of the film he saw and how the scene with the officers chasing Rambo through the woods lasted between 45 and 50 minutes. It has since been cut down to 10 or 12.
