Line 1: {{work}} === John Rambo === {{quote\| Played by: [[Sylvester Stallone]]}} * [[Anti -Hero]] [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes\|Type IV-Type II]] * [[The Archer]] - Of ''explosive'' '''grenade-tipped'' arrows, no less. * [[Badass]]: The 80's embleme. Line 12: * [[Good Is Not Nice]]: No it's not... * [[Honor Before Reason]] * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]] * [[Knight in Sour Armor]] * [[Large Ham]]: Line 19: * [[Lightning Bruiser]] * [[Manly Tears]]: End of First Blood. * [[One -Man Army]]: '''The''' definitive western example. * [[Punch Clock Hero]] * [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]] * [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Especially in the first movie. * [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: In the fourth movie - although he is still one of "the good guys" - he is portrayed as more rude and cynical than in the first three movies. ** Considering everything he's been through up 'til then, it's perfectly understandable that he'd be a left a little bitter. * [[Villain Protagonist]]: [[From a Certain Point of View]] in The First Movie. Line 29: === Col. Sam Trautman === {{quote\| Played by: Richard Crenna (1982-88)}} * [[Badass Grandpa]]: In The third movie. Line 40: === Sheriff Will Teasel === * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Teasle stops Galt from Killing Rambo as it would kill innocents and he wants Rambo brought in alive. Towards the end he orders all the townspeople to evacuate the streets to protect them from Rambo. * [[Hero Antagonist]]: He is performing his duty defending the well being of his town, after all, and still ''genuinely'' believes so as he goes about at the expense of Rambo. ** Subverted somewhat since he's also [[The Bully]] to a certain extent, as the reason Rambo goes on his rampage in the first place is because of how he and his deputies mistreated him for no good reason. Played straight only in that ''after'' Rambo goes nuts, he needs to be taken down. * [[Jerkass]] * [[Knight Templar]] * [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] === Schoolboy === Line 53 ⟶ 56: * [[Token Good Teammate]]: The only unambigously kind-hearted and unselfish person in the band of mercenaries rescuing the missionaries. * [[Warrior Poet]] * [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: Averted; actually, he's the only idealistic character in the movie that still kicks ass. === Major Tint === {{quote\| Played by: Maung Maung Khin}} * [[Complete Monster]]: And HOW! The first thing this guy does is to coldly watch as his men force prisoners to walk into a mine field before gunning them down. Into their OWN minefield, mind you. Later, he orders the [[Kill 'Em All\|brutal slaughter of a whole village]], and [[Cruel and Unusual Death\|feeds one of the missionairies to the pigs]]. Seriously, "asshole" is this guy's only character trait. Unfortunately, the character's depiction is [[Truth in Television]], as the actor who portrayed him is Burmese and experienced the government's atrocities firsthand. He's also implied to be a pedophile. * [[Dirty Coward]] === Sarah Miller === {{quote\| Played by: [[Julie Benz]]}} * [[Break the Cutie]]: Still feel like helping people now? * [[The Chick]]
