* [[BigBad Sheriff Will Teasle]] is an insensitive redneck DirtyCop, no doubt, but he gets major VillainousValor credits for being fiercely determined to kill [[OneManArmy Rambo]] no matter what, while driven by both a cross between RevengeBeforeReason and HonorBeforeReason. Also, unlike Podovsky and Zaysen in future films who used Hind helicopter gunships equipped with {{BFG}} mini-guns, Teasle just relies on his past Korean War military training and a M16 rifle to face Rambo to avenge Galt's death and to show how Korean War vets are as much efficient as any American military vet. His actor Brian Dennehy's grounded performance makes him not as campy, stereotypical or absurd as the later [[EvilIsHammy villains]].

!!The film:
* Rambo threatening Sheriff Teasle after taking all of his fellow officers out of commission. Teasle [[BreakTheHaughty breaks down]] [[TearsOfFear in tears]] after Rambo removes the blade from his throat and silently departs into the forest.
--> '''Rambo:''' ''I could have killed 'em all. I could've killed you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it, or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Let. It. Go.]]'''''
* The Forest Scene, where Rambo essentially called out the spirit of [[Literature/TheMostDangerousGame Rainsford]] to dispense ''non lethal'' takedowns against several cops hunting him down with assault rifles.
