Rambo began as David Morrell's 1972 novel about a drifter and a small-town sheriff, became Sylvester Stallone's second great franchise in 1982, and has since taken him from the Fraser Valley to Vietnam, Afghanistan, Burma and a horse ranch in Arizona across five films and $819 million. These 50 questions cover the whole series: Colonel Trautman and Sheriff Teasle, the rock and the helicopter, Marshall Murdock and Co Bao, the Hind, stick-fighting in Thailand, Stinger missiles and Hamid, the Salween River and the Karen, School Boy, the R. Rambo mailbox, Bowie and the Martinez brothers, plus the making-of stories: Kirk Douglas's dismissal, the hostile test screening that changed the ending, Carolco, Hope, British Columbia, Jerry Goldsmith and Dan Hill, the Force of Freedom cartoon, Mortal Kombat 11, and the Noah Centineo prequel. Easy questions stick to the stars and settings; the hard tier asks about supporting actors, budgets and behind-the-scenes calls.
