[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 versionsGaurav 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.
