In 1972, the famous writer David Morell released his first novel called First Blood. The book follows a war veteran named Rambo who ends up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a group of law enforcement officers. Ten years later, the book was adapted into an action film starring Sylvester Stallone, and the Rambo franchise was born.
Both the film and the book were a great success. However, they are not exactly alike. This is largely due to the fact that eighteen different scripts were written before the final script. Stallone is also said to have suggested a number of changes. Here are the main differences between the book and the movie.
