WHERE IS THE LOCATION RAMBO WAS MADE?

The short answer: it depends on which Rambo movie you mean. The very first film— First Blood (1982)—was made in Hope, British Columbia, Canada , while later Rambo movies were filmed in other countries, including Israel and Thailand.

Quick history of the Rambo filming places

1. First Blood (1982) – Hope, BC, Canada

Despite the story being set in a fictional “Hope, Washington” in the U.S., the actual filming took place in Hope, British Columbia , about 95 miles east of Vancouver at the junction of the Fraser and Coquihalla Rivers.

Key spots in Hope included:

• Wallace Street – used as “Main Street, Hope,” where the sheriff’s station scene was shot.

• Around Hope City Hall – the sheriff’s station was built on the corner of Wallace Street and Third Avenue for the film.

Later forest scenes moved closer to the city:

• Port Coquitlam area – hideout and forest sequences.

• Golden Ears Park – used as the makeshift National Guard HQ under a bridge.

• Minnekhada Regional Park – waterfall and junkyard scenes where Rambo finds his poncho.

Fans still celebrate this connection; in 2022, Hope hosted a 40th-anniversary event for First Blood.

2. Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) – Thailand & others

The sequel, set in Vietnam, was primarily filmed in Thailand , with additional locations in other Southeast Asian spots to mimic jungle and war- zone environments.

3. Rambo III (1988) – Israel

Though the story is set in Afghanistan and Pakistan , the movie was actually shot in Israel , chosen for safety, terrain, and logistical reasons.

4. Rambo (2008) – Thailand again

The 2008 return to the franchise was filmed mainly in Thailand , especially around Chiang Mai and nearby jungle areas that could represent northern Burma/Myanmar.

5. New prequel: John Rambo (upcoming)

A new origins film titled John Rambo is in development, starring Noah Centineo and with Sylvester Stallone involved as executive producer. Its filming location hasn’t been publicly confirmed yet, but news coverage is very active in 2025–2026 as the project moves forward.
