Rambo is one of Stallone’s most iconic characters, but had Pacino played the part as originally intended, First Blood would’ve been very different.
Al Pacino was one of several actors considered for the part of John J. Rambo in the 1982 action-thriller First Blood, and his version would have been very different. The film adaptation of David Morrell’s 1972 novel of the same name, the leading Rambo role eventually went to Sylvester Stallone, who rewrote the screenplay to make the character more sympathetic.
Al Pacino Wanted To Make Rambo A "Madman" Sylvester Stallone played Rambo as a detached veteran scarred from his experiences in the Vietnam War. He has very little dialogue throughout First Blood, and in one draft of the screenplay, Rambo even has no dialogue at all until his riveting final speech.
Rambo is psychologically confused in First Blood, and if Al Pacino really wanted to delve further into Rambo's mind, then his portrayal could not have avoided offering a deeper exploration of the character's psychology than Stallone delivered in First Blood.
Had David Rabe's screenplay been made with Al Pacino in the leading role, First Blood would have more closely resembled the bloodthirsty John Rambo seen in the pages of David Morrell’s novel. This approach could have worked, as audiences came to love the over-the-top action and high kill counts that dominated later Rambo movies. On the other hand, a high kill count combined with First Blood’s darker tone may have alienated more casual viewers.
