Rambo stays one jump ahead, until he is surprised by a boy hunting in the woods; he jumps the boy, knife in hand, but simply tosses the boy's rifle away and flees. Guard troops then spot him and open fire, chasing Rambo to an old mineshaft where he hides, but the Guardsmen manage to trap him inside. Rambo, however, fires back at the raw Guardsmen and succeeds in pinning them behind a hill. They then use a shoulder-fired rocket and blow up the mineshaft. They believe that they have killed John Rambo, to the anger of Teasle, who is unaware that Rambo manages to narrowly escape.Once out of the woods, John steals a truck which contains an M60 machine gun and boxes of ammunition. He drives through a police roadblock and back into the town, where he sets fire to a gas station. Teasle learns that Rambo is still alive but is trapped in the police station as Rambo uses his M60 to shoot power boxes on phone poles and thus cut off power, then shoots up and blows up a gun shop, and finally blasts away at the station. John eventually opens fire and badly injures Teasle, but is confronted by Trautman who tries to talk him out of killing him. Rambo, now surrounded by Guardsmen and police, finally breaks down and yells out all the frustrations he has kept inside himself since he returned from the war and tells a meandering story about a bombing in Saigon that killed some of his buddies. Rambo finally is reduced to tears, and agrees to surrender himself, his anger finally purged from his soul as he is led away by Trautman.
A day later the injured deputies are lifted to area hospitals and State Police along with National Guardsmen are dispatched to find Rambo. David Kern, a State Policeman who knows Will, asks why Will didn't leave Rambo alone, and Will angrilly and disingenuously chews him out, claiming he was only doing his job in arresting Rambo; when Kern questions Will's motivation, Teasle barks for Kern to remember his injured deputies and the death of Art Gault.Eventually, the man who made John Rambo who he is, Colonel Samuel Trautman, arrives and offers to reason with John in the hope that he'll be able to cleanly retrieve him from the woods, after assuring the force that they have no chance of catching John, let alone killing him. Trautman succeeds in contacting John by radio and offers to fly him out in peace, but Rambo, who clearly sees in Trautman the father figure he'd never known before, reluctantly refuses, noting his enemies drew first blood. Teasle continues the hunt for John, ordering Guard troops to press into the forest; when they get a report that Rambo is heading away from the roads, Kern and Teasle are baffled until Trautman points out John is hunting for a gap in pursuers' lines.
Will then learns who Rambo really is, but is unfazed that John is a former Green Beret, and furiously scolds Mitch when he suggests letting State Police handle the pursuit. Will becomes more determined to catch John Rambo and his other deputies are ready to back him. Rambo, however, has scouted the forest area and has set deadly traps using tree branches sharpened with his combat knife into pungi sticks. When the posse closes in they unleash their tracking dogs, but Rambo shoots two of them dead and then shoots their trainer; a third dog goes after him but Rambo stabs it to death. Teasle and the posse press their pursuit, but John's skill at evading capture and ambushing his quarry is too much; he brutally stabs each deputy, careful not to kill anyone but instead disable them, until only Teasle is left. John jumps Will, putting a knife to Will's throat, and telling Will to leave him alone once and for all. He then disappears into the forest , leaving Will crying in exhaustion and fear.
Once out, John steals a motorcycle and is chased into the woods by Teasle. Teasle loses John when his car slides down an embankment near the base of a mountain, landing in a soft thump upside down. Embarassed, Teasle crawls out and shouts to John vowing he'll be caught. With tracking dogs, Teasle assembles a posse to pursue Rambo and has Gault get a helicopter to spot him. Eventually they corner Rambo over a steep cliff to a running river, but John tries to climb down and is spotted by Gault in the helicopter. Gault foolishly unlocks his safety belt and begins shooting at Rambo, with the helicopter pilot telling him to stop. Gault refuses, and when Rambo jumps off the cliff and lands on a huge pine tree he slides down its branches, sustaining an arm injury before landing on the ground. Gault has the chopper drop lower and he continues shooting, but John throws a rock at the helicopter windshield and the pilot swerves left - which throws Gault into a fatal fall to the bottom of the river gorge. When John, after confiscating Gault's rifle, sees the dead body, he is struck by guilt, and after tending to his arm injury and seeing how little ammo he has for the rifle, John offers to turn himself in. This, though, only angers Teasle more, and he opens fire on Rambo, a bullet grazing his temple as he flees.
John is taken back to the police station where he is taken to the basement by several deputies - Arthur Gault, Mitch, and Ward. When Mitch tries to read Rambo's dogtag, John stops him and Gault threatens to smash his face with his nightstick. Rambo relents, but the mistreatment continues when he refuses to give fingerprints, earning an angry rebuke from Will. Gault then humiliates John by forcing him to remove his clothes; Gault has John turn around, then brutally strikes the small of his back, knocking him to the floor, then kicking him, to the horror of Mitch. Gault then has another deputy, Preston, spray Rambo with a firehose for no reason. When they try to give him a shave, Gault chokes Rambo before John has a war flashback of a North Vietnamese general slicing open his chest; Rambo now goes berserk and and attacks the officers, kicking and beating them viciously before breaking out of the police station.
i have nothing to talk about so im gonna talk about a scene from rambo John Rambo is a Vietnam veteren, a former Green Beret who escaped from a Communist prison camp in 1971 and still occassionally flashes back to days of torture within this camp. He drifts from town to town, a sleeping bag over his shoulder. In December 1981 Rambo makes a surprise visit to a house where, he was told, an old friend from the war, Delmore Barry, lives. But he learns that his friend died of cancer a year ago.
agin i have nothing to talk about so i gonna talk about a scene from rambo Devastated, Rambo walks down the highway and eventually reaches Hope, WA, a small mountain town. As he arrives he is met by the town's Sheriff, Will Teasle. Will offers John a lift after making a pointed and disapproving comment about Rambo's Army jacket and overall appearence. When John asks about a place to eat, Will suggests a diner thirty miles away. Rambo then asks why Teasle is pushing him, which seems to surprise Will as he pointedly tells Rambo that drifters are unwelcome in the town. He drops John off, condescendingly tells him to get a haircut and bath, and drives away, but Rambo, offended by Teasle's treatment, defiantly walks back into the town. Will arrests John on a trumped-up charge of vagrancy, and John initially does not resist even though he has done nothing wrong.
