    Hello fellow travelers and welcome to
    Exit Thru the Gift Shop
    Today we're in Hope BC retracing the
    steps of Sylvester Stallone during the
    filming of Rambo: First Blood
    0:00:27 - 0:00:59
    This is the former location of the gas
    station that Rambo blew up as a
    diversion it was specifically built by
    the film crew for the purposes of being destroyed
    and just off to the side it's
    the Gateway to holiday land sign which
    greeted Rambo as he came into town
    0:01:00 - 0:01:23
    In one exciting scene Rambo tries to
    evade police by jumping these train tracks on a stolen motorbike
    also during a chase Rambo drives along
    this street passing hopes famous "H" tree
    0:01:32 - 0:01:40
    The Outpost gun shop was built in this
    intersection just ahead and was
    destroyed during filming
    0:01:48 - 0:01:56
    A Coca-Cola billboard was placed on top
    of this pharmacy which helped obstruct
    the film crew
    0:02:05 - 0:02:14
    Near by Othello tunnels set the scene
    for one exciting action sequence where
    Sylvester Stallone dangled from a jagged
    rock face
    0:02:31 - 0:02:56
    Unfortunately one of the most iconic set
    pieces from the film the Rambo Bridge no longer exists
    The bridge was removed in 2011 despite
    protests from fans all that remains of
    the original bridge is one singular
    pillar sitting amongst the rocks
    0:02:57 - 0:03:02
    Approximately 15,000 people visit Hope
    each year to remember and relive the
    0:03:02 - 0:03:12
    scenic locations from Rambo it's still
    nice to see some of these iconic
    locations and also just to enjoy the
    scenery in this area it is a spectacular location
    0:03:12 - 0:03:31

    Love Hope. Although I now live in Australia, I grew up on Vancouver Island and have made quite literally hundreds of trips thru Hope over the years on my way to and from the Okanagan. I always make it a point of stopping in Hope on my way. I've thought that it was so cool that Hope was chosen for this classic movie location. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Hope is as big of a star in the Movie as Rambo himself.

      It's a classic! I was always fond of it because it was filmed an hour from where I grew up. Back then there wasn't as much filming in the area so it was a real event. The town of Hope has continued to draw tourists over thirty years later to see the town that Rambo blew up in First Blood!

      Hope is a nice town with some great scenery - The Othello Tunnels are always worth a visit! I wish they could have kept the Rambo bridge, but I guess it would have been a hazard.

      Hope has changed a lot since the filming, but you can still find some recognizable locations :) They still love to celebrate the film and just unveiled a new chainsaw carved statue of Rambo. Just sad though that the Rambo bridge had to be taken down.

    Though filmed in Hope, BC, it was set in "Hope, Washington". In one scene, you can see a row of gas stations, and one sign seems to say 38.3 for "regular" (though I'm not sure). I guessing 38.3 cents per litre?
