Corrected entry: There is an American M60 on the side of a Russian chopper.

Correction: No, the chopper you're referring to is an American Bell UH1D, that apparently had been captured during the war. It is not out of place that the American weapons are still mounted on it.

Corrected entry: When Rambo flew the helicopter to save the other POWs, there are several scenes depicting him using the machine gun on the helicopter to shoot at the baddies. This is not possible as he was flying solo and therefore can't possibly reach the machine gun which was at the back of the helicopter.

Correction: No, but there are two machine guns on the chopper - one M60 (that requires a separate door gunner), and one M134 Gatling minigun, which is a helicopter-mounted weapon fired by the pilot. All shots of the gun Rambo uses to sweep the camp show the rotating barrels of the Gatling.

Corrected entry: When Rambo is packing his explosive arrowheads notice he only packs four in his case, yet he fires five.

Correction: We never see the entire packing and preparations Rambo does, it is all part of a montage of small second-long shots. Just because we only get to see one pack of detonator heads, it does not necessarily mean he packs just the one.

Corrected entry: Rambo's exploding arrowheads are only large enough to hold a couple of ounces of explosive. This is not nearly enough to cause the damage they do.

Correction: This is explained in the novelization of the film. The arrows themselves are hollow, and filled with high-power plastic explosives. The arrowheads are simply the detonator.
