The scene were Rambo screams always makes me feel sad because my Uncle was a Vietnam vet (god rest is soul) and my dad use to tell me that on some nights my uncle would wake up screaming just like Rambo did.
In a nutshell, they started it. He wasn't even doing anything illegal in the first place. The sheriff should have simply paid no attention to him in the first place.
Kurt Cobain entered a pizzeria in Paris few months before his death. He looked like a junky (he was one), very dirty. The guy said "What do you want" ? KC : "I'm waiting for friends". The guy answered "There is no friend here, go away!" KC pulled his gun out and shot at the ceil and threw away banknotes at the guy's face before running away the other side of the road in his 4 stars hostel :D
Apparently Clint Eastwood and Robert De Niro were considered for the role of Rambo, but this role was basically tailor made for Stallone. No one could’ve played this role like he did!
@@ThunderRod Eastwood would have been 52 in 1982 when this film was made..i don't feel at that age he would pulled the role of John Rambo convincingly enough due to being a very physical type role. Granted, Eastwood was still pretty fit in his early fifties, but Stallone was around the right age and had the physical stature to be believable.
Anyone else think this is the best Rambo film? I'm a kid of the 80s, so I remember when Rambo: First Blood, Part 2 was all the rage. But as an adult, I feel like this one has a really grounded sense of drama. And Rambo isn't as much of an unstoppable force with crazy hardware. The fight scenes feel really human and with real stakes.
That’s obvious, and it’s not even close. It’s always been considered the best by fans (even people who aren’t into action films) and critics, alike, because it’s an actual story with solid acting.
Man... Seeing him bust out that door and the theme music kicks in... This is how you make a damn movie. Wish Hollywood would get some talent back in the business. Folks knew what they were doing back then.
exactly! nice comment. They sure knew how to make good movies back then didn't they. I don't understand what happened, but they sure make shitty movies in Hollywood these days......either something is a Super Hero movie or Comedy movie.....it's ridiculous.
I think there are a plethora of reasons why movies simply aren't as good these days. I'm not really going to go into it because it would take too long. I mean, sure. You get some good ones every now and again. But back then--right around in this late 70's on through the 90's even--you would get at least three or four really good movies a year. Every major studio would have at least one really good, character driven film that will stand the test of time. And these weren't like our modern tentpole movies. These were films budgeted around $30-50 million tops, and they were so good. And the amazing thing about it is that most of these movies were scripts written for the screen. A lot of them were never prior conceived in books or anything. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just to illustrate how good the folks were at making movies and telling compelling stories back then.
You veterans did not deserve one iota of disrespect from clueless America after Vietnam. As a highly patriotic man who loves the Armed Forces, I salute you and sincerely thank you for your service.
Stallone actually sustained injured from his back, ribs and spine from the hard hits the sheriffs hit him with the baton! Including when he jumps off a cliff

Love the music at 2:05 it's mix of triumph and foreboding because he escaped from their captivity and got out of town but now he's become a fugitive and he's forced into everything that happened to him for the rest of the film and it's a nice use of the main rambo theme/leitmotif. Perfect balance of the tones.

@@SHARPOASIS My favorite line[s], also by Colonel Trautman (after the NGs fire that hand held rocket launcher into the mine opening and they presume Rambo is dead), "Vagrancy wasn't it? That's going to look real good on his gravestone at Arlington: here lies John Rambo, Congressional Medal of Honor winner, survivor of countless incursions behind enemy lines, killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, U.S.A." Notice Teasle doesn't seem too offended about being the sheriff of Jerkwater U.S.A.?
This scene is way more brutal in the novel. Rambo uses the razor to slice open Galt's stomach and his intestines fall out, then he non-fatally disables another officer by breaking his nose, sending bone splinters into his eyeballs.
In real life Dolph Lundgren put Sylvester Stallone in the hospital during the making of rocky four, I don’t know if you heard about that, it was in an interview.
Let's talk about where the sheriff's department went wrong. Rambo wasn't breaking the law and he had a right to be left alone. He may have not been dressed the best but he was not harassing anyone or a danger to anybody. When they took him into custody they should have gotten somebody from Veterans Affairs to come down like a licensed counselor or someone qualified to work with someone with PTSD. They should not have presented a razor blade around him because he could have gotten it and used it on them. Those stupid goober Sheriff deputies in that police station were lucky he didn't slit their damn throat with that razor blade
Hoorah ... don’t mess with a soldier especially one just back from Nam and obviously experiencing PTSD .... nothing more deadlier than a trained soldier and his mind
@@mannyistheman2221 If you've read the book he kills most of the cops in the building when they go to shave him. One cops guts hit the floor when Rambo cuts his stomach open and his guts come out. Read the novel if you haven't. It's fantastic
Sylvester actually broke the dude's nose at 2:00 by accident. The actor was ok with leaving the take in since it doesn't get any more realistic than that.
This is a good example of cause and effect. The vietnam vets like in my country were trained to kill and were required to do it to survive and make it home only to be rejected by the very society that they were sent to protect. Rambo was a good example; the small town cops pushed him over the edge and he went berserk just as he was trained to do and they suffered the consequences for their actions, while Rambo was only doing what he was trained to do to survive. And in the end like the vietnam war it was all for nothing and could have been avoided in the first place.
The funny thing you realize is that looking back on it this movie is very different from all the other Rambo movies, it’s still a fast paced action movie but it’s not about Rambo going into some dangerous territory to take out bad guys or something, it’s about Rambo getting mistreated by the police and hiding away in the woods, that’s one of the things I really liked about Last Blood, it also toned itself down and told a story that was more grounded and real, and it was great, granted Rambo IV is my second favorite and that movie is more a blend of the grittier and the goofier side of Rambo but nevertheless this movie is truly special and is hands down the best of the franchise
I was about 15 when this movie came out. This was the first movie I remember seeing where the cops were not the good guys and I remember being totally into it.
Tbh I never liked the sequels because Rambo was a generic 80's action hero in them. But here he was an actual charachter a tragic nam soldier. And not to mention the first one was dark and atmospheric.
First blood was the best but a close second was the fourth( Rambo) he’s really sunk into and knows the character by then, very dark and moody. Some quality and brutal action in it too. The only thing I didn’t like about the fourth was of all the mercenaries in the film the SAS guy was portrayed as the arsehole of the group ( I guess that’s maybe to do with the American and British special force rivalry about who’s the best)
Because beating up small town crooked cops would be awesome? Best part of GTA games is killing cops. And I'm not really anti-cop. It is just the reality... it is fun.
All I remember is when he told his commander that war was not a switch you turn on and off! Such a powerful and trueful statement... I was with a friend who asked me what PTSD was and we were watching TV when this movie started playing, and I told her, just watch this movie and you will understand... She asked me because I was in service at the time and I was getting treatetment for the same thing... My heart goes out to all my brothers who are suffering from it. And I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ heals them all. In His name I pray ... Amen
We had a family reunion and my cousin who suffers from ptsd was there (cause you know iraq) and 2 of my younger cousins were playing with those white tiny balls you throw in the floor and it makes a popping noise. Well one of them thought of throwing a handful next to my cousin just "test him" and throughout the whole time he was wilding out and choking out his brother for trying to calm him down; All that came to mind was this scene and the Rambo theme playing in my head.
In the book, Rambo had just come out of the shower and had only a towel draped over his shoulders when Teasle came at him with a pair of scissors, insisting on him getting a haircut before his court appearance. "You're not cutting my hair." After Teasle took a few snips, Rambo exploded and tore right through the Sheriff's station and escaped without a stitch of clothes on. It wasn't until much later that he solved that problem.
In my opinion it is this is my list... 1.First Blood 2.Rambo 4 3.First Blood part 2 4.Frist Blood part 3 I also liked the novel and I think Rambo 4 captured some of the traits of that version of Rambo.
My father was the bravest man I’ve ever known; two tours of Vietnam and the first Gulf War; and he never spoke of the wars. One time I asked him what movies were the the closest to what he saw, and he said Full Metal Jacket, The Iron Triangle and Rambo First blood flashbacks. After my father died, I was talking to my mom and I found out he had to kill many North Vietnamese; my heart broke as he gave his all for his country and the agent Orange that killed him, he literally gave his life. And as well as I know my father, he’d do it all over again, as he’d rather do what has to be done to prevent another from having to do them.
to be fair his "acting" carries most of the movie, and think he did a fairly decent job on the monologue in the end, where he got an emotional break down about the vietnam war
You know I too was once traumatized by war but I still find this scene hilarious because when you mess with an ex-military, you gotta be prepared for two consecutive kicks in the (you know where)
This is just wonderfully executed cinema (WEC). The classic tale of do not mess with somebody as you know not what they have been through and what they are capable of. Well these fellas opted to learn that the hard way. I'm particularly drawn to 1.59 when caught in the crossfire cop (CCC) enters with lunch for all and attempts to reason with the spooked escapee. However at this point Rambo, unable to offer the returning officer a fair trial, must ruthlessly slide tackle him.
The real thing back then, no cgi, no correctness destroying the plot, the viewer is totally into the film, plus brutal beating without unrealistic martial arts scenes
Still the best one of em all. Always has been one of my faves ever since it released. I have it on BluRay but somewhere in this house i still have an old vhs copy that i taped of the tv back in the 80's.
At 0:56 I start tearing up 😢 cause I know not all our Vietnam Veterans made it home 😭 and I know this is what most of them went through God only knows what else they did to our boys
I like how he pushes that guy off the bike at 2:11, he stands in front of him and gets him to slow down or swerve, and when he grabs him; he does so forcefully but he kept a hold of his collar so he didn't immediately hit the ground, he kind of gently but quickly lowered him, really shows he wasn't trying to hurt anyone. He should've been wearing a helmet too. I mean my dad used to ride his motorcycle without a helmet, now he's living with severe brain damage and he can't move his neck because of all the metal plates they had to put in, plus his face was torn to shreds, although that surgery went considerably well, he can't move most of his facial muscles or emote with them but it looks like it did before the accident, he lucked out in that respect, facial reconstruction in the 80s probably wasn't as up to scratch as it is now.
rambo had every right to beat the living crap out of those jerks, he just came into their town doing no harm and he got mistreated so horribly, those cops did"nt deserve any of rambo's acts of mercy
THE greatest scene in all of cinema history! It’s like The Stones at MSG ‘72, Led Zeppelin L.A. Forum ‘71, The Who at Leeds! A total work of art. And, I’m a former cop. These Constitution hating, disrespecting cops have whatever justice is coming for them! In this case, Rambo was justice!
The problem with traumas and "Vietnam" is that... when you are in danger, your brain starts to record everything to adapt to the environment, so those dangerous situations get imprinted. The brain does not know if is good or bad, it knows "this is information I need to think about and survive". So... if the "soldier" stays in "Vietnam" this would be his new status quo and he will be adapted to that environment. When you bring those people back to the "U.S." the brains still have the information in-printed, when the information has a negative connotation is called "trauma". The only way to get back to your new normal is with constant therapy, new affirmations and labor that brings you tons of joy. So the mind will switch to the new reality. When you leave the person unattended... it becomes madness. The trick is to have healthy social life, not just "medication".

I see. No wonder he survived the Last blood.
Am I the only person who couldn’t stop laughing when Rambo kept charging at the police and they couldn’t complete their sentence?
You know I too was once traumatized by war but I still find this scene hilarious because when you mess with an ex-military, you gotta be prepared for two consecutive kicks in the (you know where)
This is just wonderfully executed cinema (WEC). The classic tale of do not mess with somebody as you know not what they have been through and what they are capable of. Well these fellas opted to learn that the hard way. I'm particularly drawn to 1.59 when caught in the crossfire cop (CCC) enters with lunch for all and attempts to reason with the spooked escapee. However at this point Rambo, unable to offer the returning officer a fair trial, must ruthlessly slide tackle him.
40 years later police still behave the same way abusing ppl’s rights good job filmmakers depicting police exactly how they are today
This is the most realistic scene I have ever seen from specialist force unit who escape from tough gaolers !
Is Fantastic...amazing!!
The real thing back then, no cgi, no correctness destroying the plot, the viewer is totally into the film, plus brutal beating without unrealistic martial arts scenes
epic! How many times we watch it, never get tired of it!
Still the best one of em all. Always has been one of my faves ever since it released. I have it on BluRay but somewhere in this house i still have an old vhs copy that i taped of the tv back in the 80's.
2.06... When that music begins... U know you're listening and watching a masterpiece... I have this music in my car, gives me goosebumps
This movie clip is therapeutic. 💯
"Hey someone call 911. Oh yeah."
At 0:56 I start tearing up 😢 cause I know not all our Vietnam Veterans made it home 😭 and I know this is what most of them went through God only knows what else they did to our boys
Art Galt: Come on you sonofa. Few minutes later, GET HIM OFF ME!!!!!
Sylvester at his best! Love his movies :-)
Two stroke sound on that butifull Xt 250 Was a crime. Best movie ever .they did first blood that king pin cop learnt his lesson.
Me escaping from a public school system.
This is what you should do to bullies 1:01, 1:13, and 1:24
One of the best beer and raw meat movies ever
Damn when he gets out with the music....Run man...Run
Rambo's best action movie I've seen competing with him is just a comando movie
1:30 definition of wrong place wrong time
Same here 2:00
That glorious burst of the Rambo theme at 2:04.
Can't say the same with guy rolling in the ground in agony because he had his nose broken in real life.
how fitting the ad on this video was the new Rambo last blood trailer
Top acting right here!
I like how he pushes that guy off the bike at 2:11, he stands in front of him and gets him to slow down or swerve, and when he grabs him; he does so forcefully but he kept a hold of his collar so he didn't immediately hit the ground, he kind of gently but quickly lowered him, really shows he wasn't trying to hurt anyone.
He should've been wearing a helmet too. I mean my dad used to ride his motorcycle without a helmet, now he's living with severe brain damage and he can't move his neck because of all the metal plates they had to put in, plus his face was torn to shreds, although that surgery went considerably well, he can't move most of his facial muscles or emote with them but it looks like it did before the accident, he lucked out in that respect, facial reconstruction in the 80s probably wasn't as up to scratch as it is now.
rambo had every right to beat the living crap out of those jerks, he just came into their town doing no harm and he got mistreated so horribly, those cops did"nt deserve any of rambo's acts of mercy
This is why vietnam flashbacks popularized?
no one:
Rambo: they drew first blood
Let’s be honest about this. Sgt. Galt was pretty brutal with Rambo from the minute they met until Galt fell out of the helicopter.
THE greatest scene in all of cinema history! It’s like The Stones at MSG ‘72, Led Zeppelin L.A. Forum ‘71, The Who at Leeds! A total work of art. And, I’m a former cop. These Constitution hating, disrespecting cops have whatever justice is coming for them! In this case, Rambo was justice!
I feel for that last cop where hes walking into work and gets tripped with an elbow to the face. Not a great way to start your day.
The problem with traumas and "Vietnam" is that... when you are in danger, your brain starts to record everything to adapt to the environment, so those dangerous situations get imprinted. The brain does not know if is good or bad, it knows "this is information I need to think about and survive". So... if the "soldier" stays in "Vietnam" this would be his new status quo and he will be adapted to that environment. When you bring those people back to the "U.S." the brains still have the information in-printed, when the information has a negative connotation is called "trauma".
The only way to get back to your new normal is with constant therapy, new affirmations and labor that brings you tons of joy. So the mind will switch to the new reality. When you leave the person unattended... it becomes madness. The trick is to have healthy social life, not just "medication".
Bravo Rambo , ovo su prave scene , tako se bori !!! Bravo Rambo Veterane !!!
Classic Fave Scene when Sheriff Teasle's Deputies had it Comin' (1982) #80sOldSchoolClassicMovie
1:59 always makes me laugh 😂
This scene in the book was brutal asf
Brutality was the Cops, not John J Rambo!
One of my favorite scène of the movie
2:05 Play it - again and again.
THIS is one of my favourite scenes of this movie.
Greetings from germany
This movie is a microcosm of the larger problems in our society continuing to this day.
Anyone notice Rambo's little whimper after Mitch says 'How blind are you'?

1:52, does this make First Blood a Christmas movie? 🎄
The first Rambo film was about Police brutality. They should have left him alone.
No character in the history of movies has deserved to fall from a helicopter than Art Galt.
