What's left behind the scenes
- James Cameron, credited as a co-writer of the screenplay alongside Sylvester Stallone, claims that he only wrote the first draft, which was then heavily revised by Stallone.
- According to information revealed in a documentary film, the producers of the film intended to make John Travolta Stallone's partner in the second installment, who was to play Rambo's partner, also involved in rescuing American prisoners of war. Stallone disliked this idea, as he did not want to share the glory with anyone.
- Dolph Lundgren was given a role in the film, but Stallone preferred to film him in "Rocky IV" (1985) and therefore fired him from this project.
- The first film to be released simultaneously in over 2,000 US cinemas.
- Lieutenant Colonel Podovsky is the only villain in the script who has at least one line in English.
- Since it was impossible to obtain a sample of a Soviet military helicopter for the film crew, an Aerospatiale SA 330 Puma transport was disguised as a Mi-24. Experts believe the helicopter was successfully disguised – it genuinely resembles the Mi series aircraft.
- The military base in the film was shot at an air force base in Mexico.
- The scene with the electric torture on the metal cage was later parodied in the film 'Hot Shots 2' (1993) with Charlie Sheen.
- The film attracted the attention of US President Ronald Reagan, who praised Sylvester Stallone for creating the image of Rambo as a symbol of the American army.
- The song “Peace In Our Life” by Frank Stallone plays during the end credits of the film.
- In the scene where Rambo talks to his Vietnamese contact at the beginning of the film, he says: “I am expendable.” Twenty-five years later, Sylvester Stallone would become the director of the film "The Expendables".
- In the USSR, the distribution of the first copies of the film in early author's single-voice voice-over translations (primarily by Vasily Gorchakov) on video cassettes became the basis for and a threat of persecution by the Soviet militia, according to Soviet law, up to criminal punishment by Soviet courts of up to 3 years in prison and fines under Article 228 of the Criminal Code for the distribution of propaganda of violence and cruelty, as well as anti-Soviet propaganda.
- In the final part of the second film, as in the first, Rambo fires from an M60 machine gun.
- In the final battle scene with the Soviet helicopter, Rambo fires at it with a grenade launcher through the windshield (canopy) of his own helicopter, but upon landing at base, the windshield is completely intact.
- When Rambo is traveling on a boat with smugglers, one of them lifts the lid of a crate and shows him an RPG-7 grenade launcher. The grenade and the crate lid both have the inscription “AMMUNITION OBR 1943 caliber 7.62”.
- The Soviet military are dressed in uniforms that only remotely resemble the real thing. In some scenes, Soviet soldiers are inexplicably wearing black naval infantry berets.
- In the scene where Rambo talks with his Vietnamese contact at the beginning of the film, he says: "I am expendable." 25 years later, Sylvester Stallone directed the film "The Expendables."
