Sylvester Stallonetakes “great pride” in having portrayed John Rambo — a Vietnam War veteran suffering from PTSD.

Before the project was presented to Stallone, nearly a dozen top Hollywood actors were offered the role. “I was the 11th choice. Nobody wanted to do it. I go, ‘You guys are idiots. This is fantastic stuff,’ " he recalled on theInspire Mepodcast in September 2024.

“[Rambo] could kill you, but he doesn’t. He chooses just to go to the edge,” Stallone explained at anExperience Withevent in London in 2020, adding that he wanted to offer service members with PTSD another perspective.

Stallone went on to film four additionalRambomovies, and more recently, he has discussed working on aprequel toFirst Blood. Until then, fans of the franchise can revisit the action flicks, thanks to Netflix adding a few of them to its streaming library on Feb. 10.
