* ActorSharedBackground: Teasle's Korean War military background reflects his actor Brian Dennehy's service in the United States Marines in TheFifties. Interestingly, the [[AllThereInTheManual DVD's Survival Mode]] profiles Teasle to have specifically served in the Marines like Dennehy, which means that the shadow box in Teasle's office should have a Navy Cross instead of the Distinguished Service Cross. In the novel, Teasle was explicitly stated to have been a Marine, decorated for his actions in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. It was, after all, based on a 1970s novel, and the "messed up [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam]] veteran" was still used to good effect in TheNineties by ''Series/TheXFiles'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Rambo's name is not in the title, and since [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness he kills no one]], it even falls out of the hyper-violent '80s action movie genre that the film's sequels helped create.

** The end of the chase between Rambo (on a motorcycle) and Sheriff Teasle, where Teasle's police car rolls off an embankment and flips over upside down, was not scripted this way, but when the car ended up in that position, Ted Kotcheff liked the result so much that he continued shooting the scene and had Brian Dennehy get into the police car while it was still upside down, and filmed the scene as it appears in the movie.

** Robert Duvall and Creator/GeneHackman were both considered to play the role of Teasle, mostly likely for the novel's sympathetic JerkassWoobie depiction of the character than the movie's actual final product of the man. Interestingly, Duvall [[ActorSharedBackground was a Korean War veteran]] much like Teasle and fits more into the novel's physical profile of Teasle than Dennehy's barrel-chested and imposing physique shown in the movie, as Teasle in the novel was described as being a smaller man, around 5'7 in height and average weight with Duvall's appearance being the closest to that description, while Hackman would later appear in director Ted Kotcheff's ''Film/UncommonValor'', playing a character who's also a Korean War veteran.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: Brian Dennehy plays a DirtyCop who is FantasticRacist against Vietnam veterans. Dennehy in real life had no qualms against Vietnam veterans and when later on it's revealed Dennehy lied about his Vietnam service, Dennehy apologized (unlike the unapologetic and remorseless Teasle) for stealing valor:
-->'''Brian Dennehy''': I lied about serving in Vietnam and I'm sorry. I did not mean to take away from the actions and the sacrifices of the ones who did really serve there...I did steal valor. That was very wrong of me. There is no real excuse for that. I was a peace-time Marine, and I got out in 1963 without ever serving in Vietnam... I started the story that I had been in 'Nam, and I got stuck with it. Then I didn't know how to set the record straight.
