I saw this film in the theater when it was released. At the time I thought it was the greatest movie I’d ever seen. I still think that. Gives me chills every time.
I also saw this at the theater in fall 1982 and remember it well. (of course I have seen it countless times on cable TV since then and I know most of the lines by heart). I remember even then (I was only 12 1/2) thinking it was a really good movie.
Ramboo's escape from the police station is brilliantly written & filmed. Very realistic combat scenes. The blows were quick to weak points on the human body, one,two shots move on to the next opponent. I trained in martial arts for years. This movie really got it right.
In the commentary track for this scene, Stallone said that he worked and trained with Navy SEALs for this fight scene to make it ultra-realistic, especially for him taking on a small number of opponents, one after the other.
It’s true. I had met a veteran at a job I had during the summer as a teenager. I was told by my supervisor to not mention Vietnam because he had PTSD from the war. He was a nice guy and enjoyed working with him. I still remember him to this day and meeting him made me sensitive to war veterans especially to my father who was a WW2 veteran.
We have veterans of the Chechen wars, many of them have such a thing, as the switch in their head switches and it is impossible to stop. One guy with a hangover almost stabbed his brother, fortunately his brother was stronger than him.
2:01 The gratuitous foot sweep and elbow to the face of the guy who is just carrying packages, and has no idea what is going on, is my favorite moment in all of cinema. I have watched it thousands of times, and I will watch it thousands more.
I'm wondering why he didn't just shove the guy out of the way with his shoulder, as there is no way he would've drawn a weapon beforehand with an armful of packages. I guess it just added to the brutality of the scene.
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Yeah, I think it's deliberate to show that Rambo is not reacting as if he is in a small town sheriff station, dealing with a deputy carrying packages, but at a VC base dealing with an enemy soldier carrying a weapon.
What many don't realize, is this movie portrayed how many Vietnam vets were treated at that time. Keep in mind, this was only 7 years after the official end of the Vietnam war. First Blood brought a lot of attention to how horribly many of our honorable Vietnam war vets were being treated by society.
Police brutality has been going on for eons. They literally get away with murder. Rambo ended up getting blamed for this and went to jail but no one asked what led to him going on rampage. I hope the Biden administration has a federal policy regarding reform of the police root and branch. We might not hear much of it but their brutality is directed at lower class white folks too.
You are absolutely right. I watch a few documentaries on RUclips. Vietnam Veterans returning home did not know about the protests, I guess stars & stripes didn't mention it. I understand the protesting about the war,but too take it out on the young men returning home is unacceptable then & now.
@@gbadesakin I lean more right but I’m glad you see both sides. Most people go to far to the left and right. And that’s crazy, I always thought protests and stuff just started now. That’s even worse for people to do it to veterans.
i knew younger people who always laughed when they heard "Rambo" then after actually sitting and watching this movie were baffled as to what an amazing story this actually is.
Me and my Uncle were watching it when it was on telly, and my Aunt jokingly asked if we were watching “Rambo 637”, it’s baffling to think how restrained and actually meditative the first film is when the bombastic gun-ho power fantasy sequels became more known in pop-culture.
Watched this film at the age of 14. The way rambo was being harassed by the cops for no reason, it broke my heart for him. This film is still one of the best memories now in my late 20s
I was 8 when this came out. Watched it when I was 11-12 and enjoyed it for its raw action. Years later, one can still appreciate the artistic value of it all, and the -very realistic- depiction of the psychological underpinnings. Great iconic movie imho.
When you have a ptsd spell, everyone looks like bad guys to you, and unfortunately it cannot be stopped, I’ve worked around psych patients as a paramedic/firefighter, and it’s the scariest thing you will ever witness.
1:33 is my favorite. The guy had no idea what was going on and out of nowhere a batshit crazy Rambo jumps him and demolishes him in 2 seconds with zero chance to fight back. Just like that the whole day ruined.
I really like rambo as a character. Not just cuz he's badass at fighting, but because as a character, he's tortured inside and out. People can respect his skills, but also that he hates that life he lived that gave him those skills. He doesn't glorify violence and only uses it when he or someone is in danger.

@@rossdiamondthief6627 Trautman : you've done some damage, but they don't want anymore trouble. Rambo : there would be no trouble except for king shit cop! All i wanted was something to eat
Veteran is a wide term I grant you, I've looked up the exact defenition "an ex member of the armed forces" There are veterans then that aren't good people, but my thinking is there are many of those who have been in combat fighting for a flag and that generally deserves respect. I think that's obvious enough. Thanks for requesting extreme specificity I guess. But I think most people understand my point here generally. It's such a wide term and things aren't so simple I think we can agree.
One of his best movies. First Blood and Rocky had a lot in common. I think the most endearing aspect is the ascension of the underdog. Both are far greater than they even know and they are seen as the least of us. So, in the doing of the story, they become endeared to the viewer because they are both worthy and downtrodden. Only until they have their spirit awakened by injustice and castigation do they become the thing they always were. A hero. This is a very good take on how we treat the people we send to war and the people we write off as stupid or course. It's all in the writing.
This movie feels even more real and logical today than it did in the 80s. Thanks to mobile phones w/camera capabilities, the internet, and video sharing sites today, we have seen way too many examples of how the police can be unprofessional, power hungry, judgmental, prejudice, instigate little infractions to major lethal situations, use unnecessary force, held to zero accountability, create false crimes to justify their actions. I love this movie! Great writing, directing and acting!
. . . in the USA, yes. Most civilised countries the police are a hundred times more restrained by Law. And a thousand times braver personally. When the right wing piece of filth murdered the innocent people praying in the Mosque in Christchurch New Zealand ( shooting women and girls in the back, then running away when men succeeded in disarming him ) he drove away though the City. Two Police officers saw his car, ran him off the road INSTANTLY with no warning, then swarmed him and arrested him by hand THOUGH THEY THEMSELVES WERE ARMED and could have shot him dead lawfully.
it was freezing out when they shot these scenes and stallone rocked this wearing only a tank top, while wet, riding a motorcycle. that's a special effect in itself, they don't make movies like this anymore.
@@TheTurkicCc The first two RAMBO movies was FUCKING AWESOME the third one was good the fourth one was ok i wish that Stallone didn't direct the movie himself Last Blood could have been better with a good action director Stallone should have did Last Blood more like the first two movies same thing with Terminator Genisys/Dark Fate Schwarzenegger should have gotten a good action director both movies told a good story but wrong choice of directors Alan Taylor/Tim Miller was the wrong choice for Genisys/Dark Fate sometimes these action movies now these days tells a good story but sometimes just the wrong choice of directors same thing with the Mission impossible movies Tom Cruise should have brought in Doug Liman/Joseph Kosinski to direct some of the mission movies instead of Christopher McQuarrie.

@@megazion34 I've read somewhere that the chief of police, was a Korean war veteran and looked down at John Rambo, that's why he treated John like a vagabond in the movie... I could explain it better, but I didn't read the book, so some details are missing for me, but basically, the police chief was being a scumbag, because he thought John didn't saw enough in Vietnam to be traumatized, and he saw hell in Korea...
the highlight of my student life was to use this short scene as an exemple of how PTSD work and what can happen in the most violent reactions. If you have PTSD, it's not your fault and you are not alone, seek help and confort, stay strong !
A fantastic action packed movie from start to finished. When you left the cinema you knew you would remember this movie forever! Stallone was brilliant!
Stallone played the part of Rambo fantastic. That was probably my favorite part of the movie. The cops pushed him for no reason. My opinion, they got what was coming to them.
This is a pretty good film as it pertains to showing how veterans were treated after Vietnam and especially those with PTSD which wasn’t treated nor viewed the same way as it is today.
Very true, many miss or overlook what he discovers about his wartime friends. Disease, cancer, biochemical agents rotting them away. A very similar experience after any war. Iraq veterans got it pretty bad but had to gight the VA hard for benefits/compensation.
Well PTSD is really the inability to adjust to life after a traumatic event, in this case warfare was traumatic but that didn't manifest in him not being able to handle warfare, it was civilian life he couldn't handle.
@@ultimate0706 But wouldn't you say that it's still ridiculous to thrust the man back into the very thing that messed him up in the first place? It's like giving a recovering alchoholic a bottle of booze or something like that.
@@supereldinho They're movies, the director chose to put Rambo in those situations because he's not a real person that can feel or die. Additionally, in real life many Vietnam veterans did multiple tours because they couldn't deal with the way they were treated when they came back.
@@ultimate0706 Doesn't change the fact all the movies after First Blood completely ignored and disregarded its message and devolved into dumb action movies. You don't just go from watching Rambo have an emotional breakdown and pouring his soul out to the colonel to seeing him go "yeah I'm over it, let's kill a bunch of people" in the next movie, especially when First Blood had a grand total of 1 kill and it was unintentional on Rambo's part. Hell, the guy even wanted to turn himself in after that, explicitly saying he didn't want more people to get hurt. The sequels unfleshed him out and turned him into a murdering brute. That's reverse character development if I've ever seen any.
This movie is amazing and holds your attention from start to finish. The translation in my country was perfect, Rambo has many fans here and it was every kid's dream to be like him at that time. Old movies are much more interesting than current ones. Greetings from Brazil.
2 out of 3 of the guys he attacks while running away say something before he attacks them, so he knows where they are. The 3rd guy opens the door so he also knows where he is.
Besides the weather, there's something very nostalgic about looking at the scenery, the deli and restaurant. The overall quality of the film reminds me of sneaking into my brother's room and watching movies like this on WHT back in the day. Lol! Good times.
I loved this scene. A classic fight scene. 1 against 6. I just noticed something. There is a jail prisoner witnessing the whole thing from his cell. When Gault swung and missed with his club another deputy runs away. Rambo grabs his neck. Listen to Gault when it happens. LOL!! Then he gets 2 knee shots to the solar plexes. Rambo hits him hard with a backhand punch.
That's how we used to treat people with PTSD back from Nam. I'm happy to say I work at a veterans administration medical facility and I try to give my veterans our veterans the very best I can everyday to ensure this never happens again. This was more than just a portrayal. In the early eighties this was reality
A very important difference between the movie and book is that Rambo never kills anyone in the movie. In the book he killed 30 people, including civilians for emotional reasons.
Not true. PTSD, and especially K-PTBS, can and have been been experienced by many in relationships (look it up). Mine was by my parents, although quite differently. Trust me, it is HEAVILY disturbing and affecting one's life. You do not need to go to an official war, any war, especially in families or relationships as an adult, will do just fine - to a greater extent if you are the more sensitive one. But I forgave my parents. Jesus was - like always - right in this one: Forgive and you will get peace (and receive forgiveness yourself). I do not say it was easy, though, nor is it now. But it is the only way. I highly recommend therapy as well as it is very relieving and gives important insights and help strategies.
This movie really shows the injustice and oppression on a man who saw demons in the Vietnam war and made him the Ultimate Warrior against injustice and oppression. Love this movie
I love how he goes through the trouble to whoop ass on 2-3 people there at the end who didn’t want any trouble 🤣… almost reminds me of Lancelot’s assault in Monty Python
Brian Dennehy was one of my favorit actors. I believed him in every role I saw him in, even as the final boss in Gladiator 😁 (No, not that one, the 1992 one)
This has to be one of the most cathartic fight scenes ever. Full credit to the writers for getting you to absolutely loathe these cops in such a short amount of time.

The music when Rambo flees the station and jumps the bike......classic 😊😊
Good ole Jerry goldsmith.
Yes, that music elevates this all important turning point in the story like no other plot device can.
Yup! Kinda like the Magnificent 7 with Yul Brenner
One of the dangerous fugitives in history in history.
the highlight of my student life was to use this short scene as an exemple of how PTSD work and what can happen in the most violent reactions.
If you have PTSD, it's not your fault and you are not alone, seek help and confort, stay strong !
A fantastic action packed movie from start to finished. When you left the cinema you knew you would remember this movie forever! Stallone was brilliant!

Never underestimate the power of a Vietnam flashback.
Generally never underestimate something traumatical. Whatever it is.
Fortunate son starts to play
@@thehumancrumb.668 Nah Paint it black
2:09 music gives me always goosebumps
Brian Dennehy, one of the best supporting actors that ever lived!
ruclips.net/video/IenmwPCC6kA7/видео.html
A bit like Buzz Aldrin 👨🚀👩🚀
Totalmente de acuerdo !! RIP Brian Deneehy.
Was really good in Cocoon.
One thing about this scene makes me really mad: he didnt even need a shave!!
You still can see some beard on him
the cop was trying to be nice, well, sorta, just asked him to sit down...
He had flash backs from the war
Then a Home Alone style aftershave pat
Agree
One of the best action scenes of all time
"In town your the law, out here it’s me"
Classic stuff !
Stallone played the part of Rambo fantastic. That was probably my favorite part of the movie. The cops pushed him for no reason. My opinion, they got what was coming to them.
He let them live. They didn't deserve mercy.
@@robertr9188 I know that they didn't deserve any mercy. I always thought that they got what was coming to them. I saw the movie many times.
He unleashed all his post war anger on the police.
Guilherm 👮♂️👮♂️👎👎
This is a pretty good film as it pertains to showing how veterans were treated after Vietnam and especially those with PTSD which wasn’t treated nor viewed the same way as it is today.
Very true, many miss or overlook what he discovers about his wartime friends. Disease, cancer, biochemical agents rotting them away. A very similar experience after any war. Iraq veterans got it pretty bad but had to gight the VA hard for benefits/compensation.
He's just a plain monster a bad guy
@@deanfarr3249 So thats how you view combat veterans who suffer from PTSD-induced anger and psychosis? Such as Vietnam Vets?
@@SobaOfPulaski yeah he's sick
Every Rambo movie after this one:
"PTSD? The hell is that?"
Well PTSD is really the inability to adjust to life after a traumatic event, in this case warfare was traumatic but that didn't manifest in him not being able to handle warfare, it was civilian life he couldn't handle.
@@ultimate0706 But wouldn't you say that it's still ridiculous to thrust the man back into the very thing that messed him up in the first place? It's like giving a recovering alchoholic a bottle of booze or something like that.
@@supereldinho They're movies, the director chose to put Rambo in those situations because he's not a real person that can feel or die. Additionally, in real life many Vietnam veterans did multiple tours because they couldn't deal with the way they were treated when they came back.
@@ultimate0706 Doesn't change the fact all the movies after First Blood completely ignored and disregarded its message and devolved into dumb action movies. You don't just go from watching Rambo have an emotional breakdown and pouring his soul out to the colonel to seeing him go "yeah I'm over it, let's kill a bunch of people" in the next movie, especially when First Blood had a grand total of 1 kill and it was unintentional on Rambo's part. Hell, the guy even wanted to turn himself in after that, explicitly saying he didn't want more people to get hurt. The sequels unfleshed him out and turned him into a murdering brute. That's reverse character development if I've ever seen any.
@@supereldinho Brilliant rendition man, spot on.
This movie is amazing and holds your attention from start to finish. The translation in my country was perfect, Rambo has many fans here and it was every kid's dream to be like him at that time. Old movies are much more interesting than current ones. Greetings from Brazil.
One of the best moment in cinema that i can remember, timeless piece.
This action sequence is one of the greatest turns of events in cinema. Up until the escape, he seemed like an unusual, yet relatively harmless guy.
This scene is so well edited it should be shown in every movie school
The music is so good in this film.
they were gonna shave him dry , I would of reacted the same way
With a straight razor. They would have cut the hell out of him

that actor.lol.GO AHEAD SHAVE EM...DRYYY!!
This is very relatable and realistic,thank you StudioCanal for posting, stuff like this happens every day where I live.
that scream when he has that flash back from PTSD is horrifying.
Dumb coppers in movies, dumb coppers in reality, can't believe this film is over 40 years old, still better than most movies today
2:09 the greatest music cue in any Rambo film! Just gives off the “RUN JOHN! GO GO GO!” Energy
It's like the quarantine of December 2020, the man just wanted to get something to eat.
when he runs outside of police station like im free and that music hits gives me goosebumps...
0:58 the screaming 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how every time a cop comes to a door way or stairwell Stallone is perfectly there to execute a jump kick or pullup kick or standard kick.
Doors are dangerous! 🤣
Somebody read the script .
2 out of 3 of the guys he attacks while running away say something before he attacks them, so he knows where they are. The 3rd guy opens the door so he also knows where he is.
FACT: Corners and doors are the most dangerous features in a building when doing a sweep.
@@luisderivas6005 FACT. Bears eat beets!
That climax scene when Rambo breaks down was Stallones best performance ever
This is one of the best scenes I've ever seen in my life. How this film goes from 1 to 300 in 3 minutes. Unbelievable.
this movie is the favorite of our youth.
Besides the weather, there's something very nostalgic about looking at the scenery, the deli and restaurant. The overall quality of the film reminds me of sneaking into my brother's room and watching movies like this on WHT back in the day. Lol! Good times.
Plenty of towns in the pnw look basically like that still
the good ol´ 80s
years later I realized that Rambo symbolizes resistance to the system,
I watched morethan 20 times this movie.. I love Rambo 🥰
2:17 me trying to steal a motorcycle in GTA San Andreas
I always get a rush watching this epic scene. First Blood is good old cinema.
I loved this scene. A classic fight scene. 1 against 6. I just noticed something. There is a jail prisoner witnessing the whole thing from his cell. When Gault swung and missed with his club another deputy runs away. Rambo grabs his neck. Listen to Gault when it happens. LOL!! Then he gets 2 knee shots to the solar plexes.
Rambo hits him hard with a backhand punch.
I wonder what happened to that deputy? Maybe it was his first day 😂😂
The look he gives while he sharpens the blade amazing acting u can see his pain through his eyes
That's how we used to treat people with PTSD back from Nam. I'm happy to say I work at a veterans administration medical facility and I try to give my veterans our veterans the very best I can everyday to ensure this never happens again. This was more than just a portrayal. In the early eighties this was reality
One of my favorite movies and series of all time. Rocky being the first. Awesome scene and escape. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
The most accurate portrayal of law enforcement ever filmed.
precisely
No it's not
@@robertisham5279 Denying it doesn't change it.
Yeah, because all cops everywhere are exactly as shown here. Give me a break.
@@arap8217 at least you admit it. hope you're able to get that break
Love the film, the acting and the story. It’s pretty much as perfect as it gets. The humanity of it resonates just as much today as it has ever done
A very important difference between the movie and book is that Rambo never kills anyone in the movie. In the book he killed 30 people, including civilians for emotional reasons.
What a epic scene, they really don't make them like this anymore .
Jason Borne?
@@willievickers2452 Nope. Laughable ans cringe. Next
You can thank superhero movies for studios not wanting to take a chance on movies like these nowadays.
Yup.
You cannot believe how David Caruso (the red hair guy, who became very famous on the 90’s) looks like today… unbelievable
1:35 " What the hell !!!!!! "
Got kick on the schozz !!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best scene !!!! 😂😂😂😂
That always made me laugh
Sad.
PTSD.
Those who never been there, never really understand.
Not true. PTSD, and especially K-PTBS, can and have been been experienced by many in relationships (look it up). Mine was by my parents, although quite differently. Trust me, it is HEAVILY disturbing and affecting one's life. You do not need to go to an official war, any war, especially in families or relationships as an adult, will do just fine - to a greater extent if you are the more sensitive one.
But I forgave my parents. Jesus was - like always - right in this one: Forgive and you will get peace (and receive forgiveness yourself). I do not say it was easy, though, nor is it now. But it is the only way.
I highly recommend therapy as well as it is very relieving and gives important insights and help strategies.
@@NewStarConstellation amen.
This movie is 40 yrs old but i still enjoy watching it. I have just finished high school and was 17 when it came out, now I am 57 ...
This man made my childhood
We 80's generation had the best childhood.
The music.. so nostalgic ♥️ proud to have known heroes like Stallone and their famous characters growing up! ♥️
This movie really shows the injustice and oppression on a man who saw demons in the Vietnam war and made him the Ultimate Warrior against injustice and oppression. Love this movie
In pop culture Rambo is treated as a hero. In reality just a PTSD
I love how he goes through the trouble to whoop ass on 2-3 people there at the end who didn’t want any trouble 🤣… almost reminds me of Lancelot’s assault in Monty Python
But they were still cops, so what makes you think they weren't gonna try to stop a man that was arrested from fleeing the station🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Please, let's not bicker and argue about who whooped whose ass.
Yeah if you know what you're doing and can outsmart the law then anything is possible and mission gets accomplished breaking out.
his training kicked in... take down anyone in your way by any means necessary
1:01 me at the dentist for the first time
Watching this as a teenager was completely badass. Watching this as adult who knows about PTSD, it's horrifying.
When he starts having the Nam flashback you knew sh!‘twas about to go real bad.
Epic scene.
Silvester Stallone had the Guts to outdone injustice. The father of Action Movies 👍👍👍
0:59 I felt that scream 🤯
Oscar-worthy performance, deserved at least an indication.
You must be a real badass when even Horatio Caine from CSI Miami and Stan Switek from Miami Vice can' t stop you from escaping prison.
Escena maravillosa, donde se describe a la perfección la falta de respeto, de un par de estupidos hacia un soldado
Magnífico film
Brian Dennehy was one of my favorit actors. I believed him in every role I saw him in, even as the final boss in Gladiator 😁 (No, not that one, the 1992 one)
And Del in Driveways was his best acting he ever did.
He was great in cocoon
The fat cop was on Miami Vice used to wear Hawaï shirt ans the red hair become famous as Doctor house remember ?😛
This has to be one of the most cathartic fight scenes ever. Full credit to the writers for getting you to absolutely loathe these cops in such a short amount of time.
Back when David Caruso had not found his calling in CSI
The voice of reason in this movie. Too bad his fellow officers didn't listen to him.
@@mindriot91_96 your right the other Officers were assholes Especially The deputy and Sheriff
@@jamesmorant1406 Galt was the Chief Deputy who was in charge below the Sheriff. Mitch, Ward, Tulford and others were the Deputies
@@scottknode898 damn your right
Well before NYPD Blue...where Caruso perfected his tilted head look and walk off.
This part was brutal in the book.
Yes intestines out rather than a smack in the face
And Rambo was bare-ass naked in the book, a change I'm fairly glad they made for the film.
@@christopherdean1326 you're right. Great book
@@tylerwedell3750 And written by a very nice man. I wrote to him as part of my research for my university thesis, and he sent a personal, very helpful, reply. I have a number of his other books, and they are all good.
