Who else thought that Rambo would get out of that mob jam in Mexico? (Spoilers)

I was surprised by that scene where Rambo got hounded and cornered by the mexican mob. I thought that he would either run away from them or just open a can of whoop ass and lay it down to them. But they decided to go for a more realistic approach. I guess it made movie work better this way. Though it sucked seeing Rambo getting all beaten up like that without even throwing a punch at them.
