Shop Assistant (Rambo)



Khalid is a supporting antagonist of the 1988 film Rambo 3. He is a Pakistani spy who served as a shop assistant to the Mujahideen arms dealer Mousa Ghani, but later betrayed him and John Rambo to Colonel Alexei Zaysen.

He was portrayed by the late Yosef Shiloah.

Role
Khalid first appeared in Mousa's shop where Rambo entered after hearing of the capture of his close friend and commander Sam Trautman at the hands of Zaysen. At first, Khalid assumed that Rambo wanted to buy some guns, but Rambo stated that he's looking for Mousa since the latter agreed to help him rescue Trautman from the command post where Zaysen is holding him prisoner.

Unknown to both Rambo and Mousa, Khalid was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation. He then paid a visit to Zaysen's command post, where he informed Zayseon about the rescue plot and the village where Rambo and Mousa are residing in. With this information, Zaysen led an attack on the village, though Rambo and Mousa survived along with several other Mujahideen.

The next day, Khalid was invited back to the post to watch Trautman getting tortured to death via flamethrower. However, Rambo arrives to the rescue by taking down the two guards, freeing Trautman from custody. Recognizing Khalid and realizing that he betrayed him and Mousa for greed, Rambo angrily threw his dagger at Khalid, but the latter avoids it and attempts to run away from the scene. Fortunately, Trautman manages to capture Khalid before twisting his neck as punishment for his treason, killing him for good.
