      [last lines]

      Trautman: John where are you going?

      Rambo: I don't know.

      Trautman: You'll get a second medal of honor for this.

      [Rambo looks over at the rescued POWs]

      Rambo: You should give it to them. They deserve it more.

      Trautman: You don't belong here, why don't you come back with me?

      Rambo: Back to what? My friends died here, and a piece of me did too.

      Trautman: The war, the whole conflict may have been wrong, but damn it, don't hate your country for it.

      Rambo: Hate? I'd die for it.

      Trautman: Then what is it you want?

      Rambo: I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!

      Trautman: How will you live, John?

      Rambo: Day by day.

    • Alternate versions
      Gaurav Arts, the film's distributor in India, had cut some of the most violent shots in the film in 1985 in order to receive an 'Adults Only' rating from India's censors board. Among the scenes trimmed were Rambo being tortured in the leech-infested water, Rambo being tortured through electrocution, Rambo's attack on both Podovsky and Vinh's men near the end etc. The cuts were finally restored in 1993 when the film was submitted to be re-rated by India's censors board.

    The best warrior of the world......RAMBO
    This is one of the most exciting movies I have ever seen. When Rambo is sent to Vietnam to take photographic evidence of American prisoners of war who broke their neck fighting for their country, nobody would think that it is a woman the person who is going to be his partner during his Herculean-task.

    Actually, Julia Nickson plays a woman whose family had always worked together with the Americans in the fight for liberate South-East Asia from communist imperialism. She is the most important character in the movie apart from Rambo, and deserves all respect for the fantastic job she does for freedom.

    All the action in this movie is very good and Rambo's final quotes will let you speechless. And I understood what is heroism just watching Rambo's attitude on behalf of his fellow soldiers who were brutally tortured by the North Vietnamese communist regime.

    Perhaps at US public opinion the war was lost, but in the battlefield no doubt Americans won overwhelmingly. History will honor the sacrifice of thousands of heroic American youngsters in that war against communist imperialist oppression.

    This is a must-see movie.
