Trivialidades:

Victor Banerjee passed on this film.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When the troopers lead by the Colonel stops no sound is heard, all of a sudden you hear the sound of a helicopters rotor fade in, a few seconds later the helicopter appears and starts to slaughter the men. The night was clear and it was in a desert, those are ideal conditions for sound to travel (even a whisper will be heard over a good distance) and seeing how a helicopter creates a very high sound from both the motor and the rotorblades they would have heard the helicopter several minutes in advance.

Quotes:

Colonel Trautman: I'm sorry I got you into this Johnny.
Rambo: No you're not.

take it for what it is!

Rambo III is a action film as simple as that. a hero that does nearly impossible things and thats the attraction of a action hero he's not a real person it's a movie. movies like this just want to entertain you for 90mins. to 2hrs. and no matter how impossible or unrealistic things are you take it for what it is. that's the idea of wild action films they take you to another place, as a film lover i try not to have such high hopes for things, i want to see it with just a open mind . some things you will like and some you don't. rambo III is one i like. people talk about plot and what this film does and does not do . this film gives you just what you think it will.
