Son of Rambow focuses on two school friends who remake Stallone's inaugural Rambo outing First Blood on home video.
"When I first heard... I assumed it was going to be a very broad and stylised joke-a-minute comedy at Rambo's expense," Stallone told the Los Angeles Times.
"The fact that it was so heartwarming is the result of brilliant filmmaking by its creators."
Son of Rambow producer Nick Goldsmith said he always intended the film to be a tribute to the '80s action hero.
"If we were asking to use the clips to show the film in a negative light, we may have had some problems, but [our] film is clearly a celebration of that film. I don't think we ever went in thinking they were going to say no, and from day one it was all very amicable."
