Trivia:
The knife in this film is the first in the series to not be designed by Arkansas knifesmith Jimmy Lile. The blade was designed by fantasy knife designer Gil Hibben and is two inches longer than the one in Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) and three inches longer than the knife in First Blood (1982). The knife is also the first in the series to not be of a survival knife design.

Goofs:
Factual errors: The AK74 assault rifle that Rambo is using during the showdown at the Pakistan border (with the Hind D) has a U.S.-made MP203 grenade launcher fitted under the barrel instead of the Soviet GP-25 used by Soviet troops during the real-life occupation of Afghanistan c. 1979 - 1988.
