i hear you. i also agree with stallone, no one wanted to do the movie. it was a 3.5 hour long dumpster fire that as stallone says, everyone else turned down before they asked him to do it.
he cut out rambo's dialogue, to be less neurotic (in the book he was a psychopath and a sociopath that had to be put down. stallone made rambo more stoic...not talking to himself like a madman throughout the movie. example, rambo shoots an owl and pontificates, "take that you mouse munching mother fucker." also, kirk douglas was going to be the colonel troutman.
"I just don’t think it should [have been] done," Stallone continues. "It sends out the wrong message. Every Vietnam vet who sees this [ending] goes, 'The only solution is death. Death is the only thing that awaits us at the end of the tunnel.' I don’t think that’s the right way to do it."
this is a great short video on the subtext of the film.
