More specifically, the name of the protagonist.
What Goes in Must Come Out in 'First Blood' Close In the First Blood novel, the Vietnam War vet is hitchhiking in order to reach Madison County in Kentucky. In the movie, he walks into the town looking for a place to eat after learning that an old friend he came to visit had succumbed to cancer. Different purposes, same result: Sheriff/Police Chief Teasle escorts Rambo to the border and instructs him not to come back.
Different Endings for 'First Blood' The difference between the protagonist in the book and the film, as alluded to earlier, was the value placed on human life, and it's at this point that the difference changes the narrative. Both use the skills they learned to tackle the town's entire police force and members of the state police by themselves. In the film, Rambo uses guerilla tactics to take down each and every officer on his trail, wounding them to take them out of the chase.
