I watched this movie countless times as a kid, never really understanding what Rambo was going through mentally, just loving the action and survivalist skills he had. I grew up and watched it again and found a new respect for it, noticing more the sadness and inner conflict this poor broken man was dealing with. Great movie, a real classic. Hard to imagine the original ending where Rambo dies
In the whole movie the only person Rambo kills is the abusive cop in the helicopter and that was in self defense . Rambo was no threat to him and he was shooting to kill. It shows that even though Rambo was suffering from an extreme PTSD situation he still held himself back from killing .
That was an accident The pilot didn't want to go that low in the canyon and the draft was making it hard to control the helicopter, the guy took his strap off to get a clearer shot then the rock hitting the windscreen made the pilot sway the helicopter making the guy fall out
@@Kyleoski No but the cop at the beginning had provoked him and arrested him on false charges when he just wanted something to eat. The jail scene caused him to have an extreme PTSD episode where he snapped.
@@Kyleoski yes, in this situation the cops were out of line at every step, and his brain defaulted to get outta town and they wouldn't let well enough. Yes I know it was a movie, and yes I know the likelihood of something like this happening is extremely far fetched.

Unlike most scenes when one guy beats many, this one actually seems believable. He is well presented as someone who knows how to fight and the cops are shocked by the violence of action.
Just imagine, even if he miraculously defeated all the armed cops, knows how to fight and all that, then how are you going to escape from the police station? This is only possible if absolutely all the cops that are in this area are mentally retarded. Although in the movie, they see themselves as mentally retarded, and Rambo is the only adequate person in this mental hospital, oh sorry Police Station.
Fun little fact, in MORTAL KOMBAT 11, almost his entire hand to hand moveset is straight up from this scene. My personal favorite is the leg sweep followed by the elbow to the face. A work of love and respect.
Except I’m pretty sure the bridge isn’t there anymore. I saw a video where they do tours of the filming locations and the bridge was being torn down or somethin.
@@Joeywlsn I live about an hour away, and the bridge has been replaced. They did put up a sign with pictures saying this was the site of the "Rambo Bridge". They also put up a statue of Rambo with his M60 in the middle of the town.
@@Joeywlsn As well, this interior jail scene was not filmed in Hope. It was filmed in an actual prison that had closed down in New Westminster B.C. Known as the "B.C. Pen" it was a federal max security prison that closed in 1980.
Yes compare that to a movie like COMMANDO with Schwarzenegger. Also his ROCKY character was not some invincible badass who "supermanned" his way through his movies like heroes in martial arts movies (yes boxing is a martial art so the rocky movies are martial arts movies) often do.
I just love that moment when he breaks out of the police building and the Rambo theme blasts in - this is as much an action movie as it is a commentary on Vietnam and the many soldiers who returned with PTSD. Simply one of Stallone's best movies. My father, ex Special Forces, also loves this movie and he usually rips action/war movies to pieces (in good fun) by spotting the million ways the characters do wrong things in the military/combat sense that would have gotten them killed if they had faced him or his buddies 😆
I thought the exact same thing! That break down scene with Richard Crenna before Rambo allows himself to be arrested is the best bit of acting of Stallone's entire film career. Who'd a thunk Sly had it in him!
People forget how poorly vietnam vets were treated coming home. And i love this movie for it. Society is to blame all around for these poor men who many did not have a choice to go overseas but were nonetheless drafted and forced to go. Love this movie Edit: y'all chill tf out fr. Treat each other with some respect in the comments
Any vets should got treated better, imma vietnamese n i hate that fuckin war coz few of my fam die on that bullshit war. But yes i agree with ya, yall vets need a better treat.
@@robertisham5279 There were a lot of vets who came out a few years later basically saying that the mistreatment of them when they came home weren't as bad as people today say they were. The whole "getting spat on" and getting called "baby killers" was partially made up at the time to vilify Vietnam vets who didn't even have a choice but to fight in that war or go to prison.
I really do think Stallone deserved at least an Oscar nod for this role, especially for the ending scene. You can really feel his pain at the end of that scene.
Super sad and you’re right, I feel like everyone associates Rambo with the sequels and how they are all just straight action and yeah they are cool, but the first one is a true drama story with action peppered through it, definitely my favorite
@Gilson which is exactly what would happen if a not so educated ex soldier with PTSD would start telling you his worst memories of war while having a breakdown.
And it is easy to forget the stunning backdrops of the mountains in the mist which are breath-taking - this is what I remember most when I saw it in the theatre back in 1982 - reminds me of "The Deer Hunter".
@@ouethojlkjn looks very cold . And for us it came out in winter and it was a cold wet misty day when i watched it at the cinema . I wouldn't have fancied having only a singlet as clothing. I also knew that in the real world his hands would have frozen from the bike ride and been too impaired to craft those mantraps .
I tried to watch the sequels after this, but as you stated, the sequels were too silly and over-the-top. I think a lot of people forget just how good and grounded (compared to the sequels) the first Rambo is because everything that followed was cliched.
The scene at 2:04 always cracks me up for some reason. Just a random cop walking, and Stallone with the sweet slide and finish. Cracks me up every time
I remember seeing that in the 80's and I finally realized that cops spend their days driving around and eating donuts --- and Green Berets are doing 200 pullups in the woods and skinning a wild pig for food LOL
My dad introduced me to his movies. I first watched the character John Rambo when I was around 6 or 7. I remember sitting with my dad and watching his movies, how he would revolt all alone, a man who actually lived up to the hype. As someone living in India, the movie used to run till midnight. I used to watch it all, especially the action part with my dad in the family room with the lights off. My dad loved Stallone, watched all his movies. And in this process I became a fan too. The soundtrack is so nostalgic that it took me back to the days when I used to sit down and chill with him watching movies late night. Those were the days. Tomorrow marks a year my dad passed, those times what I mentioned above will remain as one of the best memories ever. Something that you can never get back but can cherish all your life. Love you Dad, I miss you.
This shows Rambo’s fragile side, the side where he felt insecure and unsafe.. every Rambo after that showed his true might. Up until Rambo last blood, where we saw how dark he could actually be.. hell of a character 👌🏻
Stallone played Rambo perfectly in this first film. Yes, he was treated unfairly by the police, but he was dangerous and unbalanced too. The sequels just made him an all American hero, and although some had their moments, none got close to First Blood. Rocky Balboa and John Rambo were entirely different characters., certainly at the time of this film. A credit to Stallone’s acting.
@@shaunsteele8244 Nah, Rambo would be George Floyd and the Sheriff will be…well you know. It will be more about a race war rather than cop brutality against someone with PTSD
This is the America I knew growing watching tv from india when i was young... God I miss these old skool movies of the 80s...Arnold,Sylvester and Van damn my childhood heroes... Thank you so much for making my child hood super special snd worth living every moment
I think it's because you couldn't rely on CGI to carry the movie --- you needed a great script and dialogue, and superb acting instead of fancy pixel magic
The one 'movie' who said and explained a stories of our lives (some of scenes are definitely 'Deja Vu'), thank you Sly for great and legendary achievement, also thanks for amazing screenplay, great respect also to the book writer.
Genius scene from a briliant movie. Makes you see how alienated Rambo must have felt of his country. Even the town seems hostile and jungle-like. And the embodiment of this alienation are Teasle and his buddy Art - whereas Teasle masks as the "voice of reason", while Art turns out a sadist and psychopath. You can only run from this hell.
A Green Beret came back to the hell to his own country... Confronting to normal people of what he did, what he is, and what he must to do now in a normal life. To be a simple man is just impossible... Nope, you can't be the same or a simple man and forget everything in few days, monthes, years like that when you are a war machine like Rambo aka "All Soldiers" who have lived many war atrocities. Respect for all soldiers
I love the whole movie (just watched it yesterday for Sly's birthday) but 2:07 is definitely one of my best scenes in the movie. How Rambo comes running out and that Rambo sound in the background... Wow. Just great 👍♥️
The PTSD flashes really made this scene and telegraphed what was to come, those deputies really handled this badly with Galt being the worst both here and in the novel.
@@michaelcorbidge7914 From what I remember Teasel did but Galt did not because his was stateside service, which fuels a feeling of bitterness in him that becomes authoritarian power tripping.
I'm from Nepal and this is one of the best movies I've watched so far. It's so good that I still love to watch it every once in a while. Rambo was an idol when I was a kid. This movie never gets old for me.
I’m 52 and still can remember the day my mum picked me up from school one Friday 42 years ago which she never did and when I got in the car she proceeded to tell me how she had bought a video recorder..Not only that but they had reserved first blood on video and we were on our way to pick it up..I still remember the excitement and elation I had it was better than Christmas 😂❤..Great times 🙏
ahh saw it for Free in Auckland City 1010, at the old Civic House Theatre on Queen Victoria Street.- Our Mason Clinic mental health nurse got the whole hospital in for -'' Free.''
He gave the perfect example of PTSD. Our soldiers were rejected from us when they came home from the war. Never again will we let mental health be restricted from any soldier who comes back from war.
This in my humble opinion is by far the best movie of the Rambo Series ! John J. Rambo and his Colonel Samuel Trautman - an example of real friendship and loyality ! They both could rely on each other under any circumstances. A masterpiece ! Cheers ! Wolfgang, Hamburg
I work with a few Vietnam vets. AND the janitor where I work was a 17 year old Vietcong soldier. Guess what? One of the Vietnam vets, and the former Vietcong soldier are now best of friends. It is amazing to sit and listen to them talk together.
I grew up in the town this was filmed in. We used to skip out of school and watch them film. The production was in our town for a year and a half. Got to meet Sly, and Brian.
I’m glad we got one of the best action franchises out of this, but it’s important to remember this story was really about PTSD and our treatment of veterans.
I'll never forget first seeing this on a coach coming back from Holiday in the mid 80's. At night with the curtains drawn on the windows, everyone quiet in their seats completely drawn into it. Back then you hardly knew anything about a movie until you saw it. Unlike nowadays where every big movie gets overhyped.
This movie brings up fond memories of my sweet grandma who didn't speak a word of English but loved to watch this movie at home over and over on the VCR and rooting for Rambo.
@@SapienSafari Come and get it if you can 😂.Are you also nostalgic knife lover?Life was so simple back then,we would rent VHS with fake ID get together and watch the movies 🎥 and we had no PG rating (if you know what I mean 😂)..Rambo knife is crap 💩,get yourself Bowie as in Crocodile Dundee (This is very sharp knoife 😂)…
Without any doubt, one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. I saw this in the theatre when it was first released almost 40 years ago. I had that opinion then and I have it now. For sheer excitement it ranks right up there with really big budget movies such as Apocalypse Now. Brilliantly cast, directed and produced. I just wish everything else he made was so well done.
I totally agree with you one of the best movies of the eighties my brother and me Seen it when it first came out we seen it at theatre with another movie the beast master double ten dollars for two movies
Mate, I absolutely agree with you, since a young teen I’ve loved this movie and it’s stayed with me as a 46 year old man. It’s part of the fabric of my childhood and ranks in my top 3 best ever films.
I remember as a kid I watched this movie just appreciating the bad ass dude taking on a whole police department. Now after 7 years in the infantry, spending time in Syria and Iraq, I have a new found respect for this movie.
What a great movie.I saw this movie at the time of the drive in in 1982 and have been watching it for over 40 years with continual focus when I watch It.What a great movie.I think it's better than the rockies.And it's just a great movie
I am an instructor in Goju Ryu Karate , so I appreciate self-defense moves like the arm-lock, followed by the knee strikes then the finger gouge to the eyes at 1:14. Really effective stuff.
If I'm correct, the British Army's SAS is trained in Goju Ryu Karate and I could see why this is : good enough for them, it's the same for everyone else.

when he elbows the guy in the face he actually broke his nose. the special edition dvd includes sly narrating the entire movie with cool facts. love this movie for so many reasons.
Alf Humphreys who played Lester actually did his nose broken, Stallone revealed it was an accident but the character had his nose broken in the book First Blood as well.
And the thing is Ho Chi Minh murdered 15,000 landlords in North Vietnam in a land reform in the 1950's. Stopping Ho from taking South Vietnam was appropriate on the USA's part lest he would do the same thing to South Vietnamese landlords!
I got my first speeding ticket racing my friends to the movie theater on our way to see this movie when it first came out. I was a little spooked that Galt looked a lot like the State Trooper who had just gave me the ticket. It’s still one of my all time favorite movies!
In Ben Hur the old Roman military mate of Ben (turned evil )who he challenges in the hippodrome looked exactly like the cop who threw the book at me when i was 19 . My smoking bike exhaust made me responsible for the pollution problems of our planet.
You don’t seem to want to accept the fact that you’re dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare, with a man who’s best with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who’s been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that’d make a Billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period. Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best.
A plot point that was present in the novel but absent from the film was the primary reason behind Teasle's resentment and contempt toward Rambo, which was that Rambo was a veteran of the Vietnam War, which gained a lot of attention, whereas Teasle was a veteran of the Korean War, which most people had all-but-completely-forgotten at this point in time.
Brian Dennehy was just as much a part of this movie,as Stallone...a great performance, and Richard Crenna's great line..."make sure you've got a supply of body bags"
@@EnlightnMe48 Did you know that Richard Crenna directed numerous episodes of the "Andy Griffith Show"...I notice his name as director,and I've seen every episode at least 20 times.
The part of Teasel was written with Dennehy in mind. The part of Trautman was originally for Kirk Douglas but he quit the role when was unhappy with the script and left production. Richard Crenna was a last minute replacement who started filming his scenes a few days after he traveled to location.
First blood on the surface is a great action movie, it's deep and meaningful on the underside. Appreciate the attention to detail and enjoy this classic.
If talking about the actor behind Stallone who played Galt that was the late Jack Starrett or if talking about the red headed deputy Mitch that was a young David Caruso who went on to play Horatio Caine on CSI Miami

Right. But no other word can perfectly describe the color blue other than "blue". It's all we know, therefore it's what makes sense.
Reboot it with Tom Holland and it’ll be way better
Unlike most scenes when one guy beats many, this one actually seems believable. He is well presented as someone who knows how to fight and the cops are shocked by the violence of action.
So true
It was close to be real
Yeah, its a question of a bully with a badge who runs up against the frontline enforcer, so in a weird way, its the "wild west" and the many vs few.
Just imagine, even if he miraculously defeated all the armed cops, knows how to fight and all that, then how are you going to escape from the police station? This is only possible if absolutely all the cops that are in this area are mentally retarded. Although in the movie, they see themselves as mentally retarded, and Rambo is the only adequate person in this mental hospital, oh sorry Police Station.
Most cops cant fight. They are not trained to. And most are cowards with a badge.
He was so chill and restaint before he did that

The best part of this clip is that it's filmed in hope bc Canada and it still looks exactly like this in 2022
Except I’m pretty sure the bridge isn’t there anymore. I saw a video where they do tours of the filming locations and the bridge was being torn down or somethin.

yea.. BUT.. is Sly wearing mascara?.. why does he look like G.Q. pretty boy?..
@@lovealways2609 no
He actually writes and cowrites all his movies.
Yes compare that to a movie like COMMANDO with Schwarzenegger. Also his ROCKY character was not some invincible badass who "supermanned" his way through his movies like heroes in martial arts movies (yes boxing is a martial art so the rocky movies are martial arts movies) often do.
@@lovealways2609 That's really Alice Cooper playing this part.
I just love that moment when he breaks out of the police building and the Rambo theme blasts in - this is as much an action movie as it is a commentary on Vietnam and the many soldiers who returned with PTSD. Simply one of Stallone's best movies.
My father, ex Special Forces, also loves this movie and he usually rips action/war movies to pieces (in good fun) by spotting the million ways the characters do wrong things in the military/combat sense that would have gotten them killed if they had faced him or his buddies 😆

@@Beyond1904 Composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith.
This was clearly the best film in the franchise. Stallone’s acting in the end scene was superb.

Most realistic of the series as well.
I thought the exact same thing! That break down scene with Richard Crenna before Rambo allows himself to be arrested is the best bit of acting of Stallone's entire film career. Who'd a thunk Sly had it in him!
People forget how poorly vietnam vets were treated coming home. And i love this movie for it. Society is to blame all around for these poor men who many did not have a choice to go overseas but were nonetheless drafted and forced to go. Love this movie
Edit: y'all chill tf out fr. Treat each other with some respect in the comments
Any vets should got treated better, imma vietnamese n i hate that fuckin war coz few of my fam die on that bullshit war. But yes i agree with ya, yall vets need a better treat.
People forget how vietnam vets WEREN'T treated that way when they came home though. It's partially a myth.
@@MrHEC381991 What do you mean?
@@robertisham5279 There were a lot of vets who came out a few years later basically saying that the mistreatment of them when they came home weren't as bad as people today say they were. The whole "getting spat on" and getting called "baby killers" was partially made up at the time to vilify Vietnam vets who didn't even have a choice but to fight in that war or go to prison.
@@MrHEC381991 no one ever said every Vietnam vet was treated poorly so what you said is true, you just said it in the worst way possible
I really do think Stallone deserved at least an Oscar nod for this role, especially for the ending scene. You can really feel his pain at the end of that scene.
I agree. He was terrific in F.I.S.T. as well.
Super sad and you’re right, I feel like everyone associates Rambo with the sequels and how they are all just straight action and yeah they are cool, but the first one is a true drama story with action peppered through it, definitely my favorite
@Gilson which is exactly what would happen if a not so educated ex soldier with PTSD would start telling you his worst memories of war while having a breakdown.
@Gilson if you can’t understand him telling a story of his friend dying and coming home to no support from his country then I’m sorry.

Forget all the silly sequels, this film stands on its own as a well made, beautifully filmed action thriller with a great supporting cast!
And it is easy to forget the stunning backdrops of the mountains in the mist which are breath-taking - this is what I remember most when I saw it in the theatre back in 1982 - reminds me of "The Deer Hunter".

I tried to watch the sequels after this, but as you stated, the sequels were too silly and over-the-top. I think a lot of people forget just how good and grounded (compared to the sequels) the first Rambo is because everything that followed was cliched.

My dad introduced me to his movies.
I first watched the character John Rambo when I was around 6 or 7. I remember sitting with my dad and watching his movies, how he would revolt all alone, a man who actually lived up to the hype.
As someone living in India, the movie used to run till midnight. I used to watch it all, especially the action part with my dad in the family room with the lights off.
My dad loved Stallone, watched all his movies. And in this process I became a fan too. The soundtrack is so nostalgic that it took me back to the days when I used to sit down and chill with him watching movies late night.
Those were the days.
Tomorrow marks a year my dad passed, those times what I mentioned above will remain as one of the best memories ever.
Something that you can never get back but can cherish all your life.
Love you Dad, I miss you.
God bless you, and your father.
I have a lot of the same memories --- watching Stallone and Schwarzenegger movies with my Dad --- he passed away from a stroke 4 years ago
That was such a great movie. Those cops had no idea what they were in for when they pushed him to far. They got what was coming to them.

This shows Rambo’s fragile side, the side where he felt insecure and unsafe.. every Rambo after that showed his true might. Up until Rambo last blood, where we saw how dark he could actually be.. hell of a character 👌🏻
The first one is anti-war movie
The rest ones are pro-war movies

That's why you never mess with a former veteran who suffers from PTSD
Excellent movies back then.
The cinematography of these old movies, I feel like this was the prime area of movies overall, into the early 2000's.
Stallone played Rambo perfectly in this first film. Yes, he was treated unfairly by the police, but he was dangerous and unbalanced too. The sequels just made him an all American hero, and although some had their moments, none got close to First Blood. Rocky Balboa and John Rambo were entirely different characters., certainly at the time of this film. A credit to Stallone’s acting.
As a kid, I loved the sequels even more. Now, as an adult, I dislike the sequels.....First Blood is a gem!
Rambo 4 was great
@@rogergargantua Hear hear.

Too unfortunate but the truth.

I work with a few Vietnam vets. AND the janitor where I work was a 17 year old Vietcong soldier. Guess what? One of the Vietnam vets, and the former Vietcong soldier are now best of friends. It is amazing to sit and listen to them talk together.
Always wished he made a prequel of his time in Vietnam and his character build up and troutman training him
I grew up in the town this was filmed in. We used to skip out of school and watch them film. The production was in our town for a year and a half. Got to meet Sly, and Brian.
As soon as he came out them doors and the music came on, you just felt a sense of relief that he was free again.
I’m glad we got one of the best action franchises out of this, but it’s important to remember this story was really about PTSD and our treatment of veterans.

A plot point that was present in the novel but absent from the film was the primary reason behind Teasle's resentment and contempt toward Rambo, which was that Rambo was a veteran of the Vietnam War, which gained a lot of attention, whereas Teasle was a veteran of the Korean War, which most people had all-but-completely-forgotten at this point in time.
So much for club man smashing his face in. Those yokels had no clue who they're dealing with. A badass Green Beret!
Brian Dennehy was just as much a part of this movie,as Stallone...a great performance, and Richard Crenna's great line..."make sure you've got a supply of body bags"
Don't forget the line " he's trained to eat things that would make a Billy goat puke."
I saw an old western show--well before my time--on television starring a very young looking "Dick" Crenna.
@@EnlightnMe48 Did you know that Richard Crenna directed numerous episodes of the "Andy Griffith Show"...I notice his name as director,and I've seen every episode at least 20 times.
The part of Teasel was written with Dennehy in mind. The part of Trautman was originally for Kirk Douglas but he quit the role when was unhappy with the script and left production. Richard Crenna was a last minute replacement who started filming his scenes a few days after he traveled to location.
fantasic line-fantastic movie
First blood on the surface is a great action movie, it's deep and meaningful on the underside.
Appreciate the attention to detail and enjoy this classic.
It's one of Stallone's best movies, right up there with Nighthawks. The guy playing the deputy in the screenshot also did a great job in his role.
If talking about the actor behind Stallone who played Galt that was the late Jack Starrett or if talking about the red headed deputy Mitch that was a young David Caruso who went on to play Horatio Caine on CSI Miami
Nice vidio💪💪👍❤💗❤
Great moment in the movie. The Deputy falls from the chopper. Then the Sherriff well a great actor because we all hated his guts!
That scream alone should have got Stallone an Oscar
This movie always reminded me my childhood days❤️
