Rambo is my most favorite franchise of all time, including the mortal kombat 11 rambo also.
Prepare for an insane Rollercoaster of Rambo, because you have seen nothing yet.🔥🔥🔥
..phucking thief ... stolen videos 🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎.
Welcome to my house, family! I never had a child bring up. My mother couldn't let me be a child ever. Grew up on mork and mindy too 😂😂😂
It's not really clear in the movie, but the Sheriff was a Korean War veteran who resented Vietnam veterans, which apparantly was a thing. It was explicit in the novel.
and is going through a divorce
Received the Distinguished Service Medal which you can kinda see in one scene,not that I have to tell you that you obviously already know tha,I wish thy would’ve made it more clear that he was also a vet. It’s implied when Trautman says “you’re a civilian now” but it’s never elaborated on
*Cross
@@michaelblaine6494 Yeah, I thought those were little "Easter eggs" they put in for people who had read the book, but not enough for regular viewers to get the subtext.
What could a war veteran have against another war veteran? Unless it involved back stabbing.
John Rambo was a innocent man just trying to live a peaceful existence. He was ridiculed and tortured by the police and it forced him to strike back. They drew first blood. My cousin was in Vietnam. It was hard on him and he is permanently altered by it Sylvester Stallone outdid himself in this movie. It is a great one and well worth your time.
I’m suspecting a lot of people think that the title refers to his eagerness for blood. It’s actually an argument. He’s saying he didn’t want this conflict.
He was a drifter. They didn't want him in their town.
This was by far the best of the Rambo series of movies because it took the subject of PTSD seriously. It's based on a best selling novel which ends much differently from the movie. Stallone's closing monologue deserved a lot more critical acclaim than it received at the time. After this, the producers just looked to cash in and turned Rambo into an action figure/cartoon character. They were good action movies but totally over the top compared to this one.
There's an alternate ending that was filmed, you can find it online, and while it isn't exactly the same as the book...it would have ruled out any sequels.
Funnily enough, the script for second Rambo was writen by James Cameron, but Im sure it would turned differently if he was directing the movie ;)
'93 here rep rep! My mother was no soft woman. She married my father in suit and beliefs were hard. I was grown to be a pugilist and a regulator. Twelve years of marriage to a '75 since sixteen, I'm teaching him young guns
😂😂😂😂
1. Cut off reinforcements
2. Destroy motor pool
3. Destroy fuel depot
4. Cut power
5. Destroy armory
“Back there I could fly a gun ship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment! Back here I can’t even get a job parking cars!”
One of the hardest hitting lines that sums up what life is like for veterans after a war. Incredible film.
And that was only Rambo and his inability to turn it off. The sheriff was also recovering from War and he couldn't turn it off. Something was going to give, and they had no control.
Vets, I stand for you. Not just because of the things you saw or had to do to protect our way of life, but because when you came home that your home no longer felt the same, almost like you were in a foreign land. I can't help you much, but I can hold a door and say "Hello!", and I've got a warm couch and a sack of tacos if you need it!
Yes my father was Rambo that's why as a three year old I was turned on by Rambo because Rocky. I fell in love with seventies and eighties. Grew up on mork and mindy,Green acres, hillbillies,a team,211...
I miss zero of my eighties.
'93 married to a '75 still teaching him young guns. After twelve years since sixteen. I am a pugilist and a regulator 😂😂😂
@robriginio530 - The quote is, "I can't even hold a job parking cars!". Yes, he was a vet, he must have been employable and got jobs once he returned, but he was such an emotional basket-case (obviously) he couldn't "hold" on to the job. Would you want that guy to park your car? He'd probably take off in it, drive it through front window of a Vietnamese restaurant, kill all of the employees, then blame it on the tough time he had during the war. I think I'll pass on carrying the liability of having that guy work for me. It was a good movie with a terrible ending. Rambo was like a mad dog. He needed to die at the end for all of the harm he caused. Rambo does not deserve our sympathy. Let's ask the kid, who got up early every morning for years, saved the money he earned from his paper route to buy a motorcycle, gets pulled off that moving motorcycle and slammed to the ground, his bike stolen while he lies injured on the pavement, what he thinks of Rambo? I'll bet troubled soul wouldn't be the first words out of that kid's mouth. How about the two police officers Rambo runs off the road into a parked car, there's a collision and a fiery explosion, their bodies burned beyond recognition. Do you think those dead police officers families would like the opportunity to give Rambo a big hug and tell him they understand? He needed to die. It was the only logical ending. That would have made it an incredible film.
@@NeverGiddyI think the first thought was to kill him and if i am not mistaken they made a scene where Rambo kills himself,but they wanted to continue his story so the didn't add it finally.
Every Rambo movie deals with an issue of the times. They are all worth watching.
This was Based on a Novel (First Blood). Sylvester really loved the story and pushed to make it. the Novel explains more about Teasle's (and Galt's) attitudes towards John and Vietnam Vets. Different ending as well.
During Vietnam they changed the Terms "Battle Fatigue" and "Shell Shock" to PTSD and changed what the Term Meant. Now it's almost considered a "common illness" for anyone that feels "Traumatised". A Civilian that got PTSD from something (like an abusive Partner or a fender bender) is compared to a Vet that lost an appendage in Combat, or lost their entire squad.
A lot of hesitation came from the studio about Rambo's final breakdown in the film. Stallone fought tooth and nail for the scene, noting he felt the soldiers who were going through similar push-back from society needed their story told. The stories Rambo rants about in those final moments are real stories.
The end monolog is one of my favorite parts of any movie. It didn't just explain how he felt in the movie, but how many veterans felt coming back from that war. Real life affects. Remember, during that time, 18 year old boys were drafted and had to go to war. They had no choice. My other favorite monolog also comes from Stallone in Rocky Balboa (Rocky 6). His speech in that movie!! Great reaction!!
you hit the nail right on the head
I think his breakdown is incredibly well-scripted and acted, because it shows the trauma response in action. When in shock, the mind latches on to specific impulses or details, giving them the same importance as survival: telling the story about how his squadmate loved driving his car, but when he lost his legs from the bomb all John could think about was finding his friend's legs so he could drive his car when he got home. When you read the words by themselves it sounds like a joke, but when you add the emotional dimension of a person who is confronted with how absolutely helpless they are, it takes a deeply tragic tone.
People like to make fun of Stallone for his accent, for his career of playing musclebound meatheads, but the man has always had an incredible sense of narrative awareness and emotional depth in both his writing and acting. Drama, comedy, the man could do it all before the film industry decided to shove him firmly into the Action Guy box and rarely let him out.
Soldiers returning from Vietnam were treated badly
Rambo is wearing Cochran Jump boots, these boots wear issued to Airbourne, Rangers, &Special Forces (Green Beret) From WWII to Vietnam conflict. They have absorbent souls and steel toe inserts, covered in cowhide leather. My father loved them so much he wore his issue one till they wore out then kept buying new ones up until his 80's.
Our coumtry really treated the Vietnam vets horrible.
Our country treated the Vietnamese people alot worse. And Cambodians. And Laotions. Lol
Please watch the rest of the series. It's totally worth it 👌.
To give some historical context, Stallone had just finished shooting Rocky III (1982) when production started on this film.
And having been sent to the hospital after his bout with Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan), he would be sent back to the hospital after jumping off the cliffs…for the fourth time. Three times prior, he did the stunt, and it worked okay. When he did it the fourth time, he was injured.
The score for First Blood is from Jerry Goldsmith; who was known for scoring two classic sci-fi films; Planet of the Apes (1968) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).
The franchise rapidly slides into popcorn action flick territory.
Sylvester stated that on the last scene when he starts sobbing, crying and yelling. He was actually projecting it towards his real Father who was very cruel to him. He never fought back against his Father so he used that moment to unleash those emotions.
You'll notice even back then the media twisting the story.
There is 5 parts of Rambo. Highly recommend you every single one of them. Can't wait to see your reactions 😊❤
PTSD IS A HORRIBLE THING.
The Vietnam War was a hellish war! And many of the people in the states were against it, and so by association were against the soldiers who fought in it. So when the soldiers came home, they weren't treated like heros, but like trash by many people. And to top it all off, the Veterans hospitals are notoriously terrible at taking care of the country's vets. Many who (being "shell shocked") suffered from PTSD never received the mental health help they needed. That coupled with not being able to find steady work (if work at all) led many into bad drug addictions and crime, or worse. 😢
Movies like First Blood help shed some light on this issue with gripping scenes and dialog like at the end of the movie.
Every war the soldiers came home to, the one that came from Vietnam were treated the worst
John Rambo, John Connor, John McClane, John Wick. If I was in a movie my character name will be John Jacobs.
Great idea!
I respectfully add John Matrix to the list
John Matrix!
Jingleheimer Schmidt? That's my name too!
I laughed so hard when Rambo was blowing up the gas station and she is like:
He hasn't has his dinner yet..lol Love the reaction. thank you
In 1980a US Census survey revealed a third of the homeless population were veterans. That survey created a lot of outrage, and while the outrage faded quickly this film got greenlit first. Rambo was a slight counterweight against the overwhelmingly negative depiction of the military as bad guys at the time. Over the next twenty years attitudes would shift until the first Gulf War when the balance would shift decisively in favor of positive depictions of the military. Today veteran representation among the homeless population remains distressingly high although the Census Bureau has stopped tracking that information.
They messed with the wrong war veteran in this Action Adventure Thriller.
First Blood is a standalone story. All the sequels are straight action. Not nearly as good, but fun.
Based on a best-selling novel from 1972 by David Morrell.
Released in the same year as Rocky III.
The beginning of Sly's 2nd iconic film series and he hadn't intended to make it so.
This first installment adapts the novel with balances of the emotion, suspense and action.
Looking at the realism of soldiers at war with themselves.
PTSD is nothing to play with and soldiers of such woes deserve to heal.
Through Rambo's eyes we see the mistreatment of vietnam veterans,
uncalled for actions by corrupt, ignorant opposition.
Someone on the humble being forced to not back down and fight back.
Rambo's struggle and presence definitely gave this town something to think about.
This is one of Stallone's best as actor, writer and
ultimately becoming an action icon in his career.
The late Richard Crenna as Col. Trautman was perfect casting.
He put a face on what makes him Rambo's mentor and only real friend.
The sequels do make Rambo more of an action hero.
But to purely understand the mind of such a character is to always remember
where it all started.
Both endings, original and alternate are incomparable.
He commits suicide .
Re: confusion over the town signs. The name of the town is Hope, and when Rambo first arrives the sign at that town limit reads "WELCOME TO HOPE". There is also a second sign reading "GATEWAY TO HOLIDAYLAND", presumably a local tourist slogan with Hope being the first town in a larger geographical area locally called Holidayland. It isn't a continuity gaffe so much as it is that two ends of town---the one Rambo arrives in and the one you commented on---simply don't have identical signage.
When I was a kid our family went camping every year and we would drive through Hope, British Columbia every year on our way out to the many places we went to.
whole franchise is great
There was a draft during Vietnam. Nobody WANTED to go. Lol. Many men fled to Canada to avoid going.
Also many Canadians volunteered in the American army to help fight.
First blood is my favorite movie great reaction
All he wants is something to eat. Is that too much to ask?
If I were someone more sympathetic and sane and when I see Rambo, coming into a town, I'd give him a good meal and help him out in a good home. Hell, I'd invite Mitch over to help with the Psychological aspect to help him out, better than that goof Teasle.
"He's not a very good aimer" This came up in The Thing as well, Shooting a rifle from a moving helicopter is not even remotely easy, and using a scope only makes it worse, because your sight picture is now smaller. While this guy probably isnt the greatest shot, the shot he was taking would have been miraculous for a Marine Sniper. This an issue with people who have never been shooting, and assume that action movies give a realistic depiction of firearm combat. That is why even with cops, you are trained to shoot for center mass (the chest) the biggest part of the target, and you keep firing until the target goes down. Even a skilled shooter doesn't hit 100% of the time, even in the most favorable conditions. Too many people think that movies and playing Call of Duty actually give you real world experience.
be sure to watch all parts! Really worth !
Rambo's break down at the end is how my grandpa would get anytime he was really sick. Recalling the horrors he experienced in world war 2
What comes through the father the first born will have it. My father was experimental by electroshock therapy and sent him to war as an expert. My daddy was so evil!! Please believe me. In his eyes was no soul,my mother took pictures with him glaring at her like he wanted to wipe her up. My mother was no soft woman. She raised me like I was her sister. I watched every seventies and eighties TV shows and music. That's how I was able to afford to pay two households at seventeen! At sixteen I married a '75, twelve years later I'm teaching my country gold tooth chicken eating mac young guns because I am a regulated pugilist woman 😅
I remember that i made a model kit presentation for a toy shop where i presented ships, space ships cars, trucks and military.
There were a russian T34 tank and a german Tiger I too and suddenly i spoke with an russian and an german veteran of WW2.
Both fought on the russian front from 1942 to 1945.
After a few minutes of uncertainty they started to speak about what they witnessed on the battlefield.
There was no glory, no showing off... just two old men which shared their sins, they never spoke about to friends and families.
The people are there for you when you need mental help, except you are a war veteran!
'93 here,how you late? Watch paradise alley! I had to teach my '75 husband of twelve years young guns. 😂😂😂😂😂
Rambo wasnt so mad hes not thinking clear, i believe the opposite, Rambo very much in control of what hes doing, he told the cop. Let it go or ill give you a war🥰🥰. Love the Rambo series
Yeah. My Dad was there in 70.. I think he had a few times when police were putting him in jail.. he wanted to fight them.. he drank a good bit, and it made him aggressive. In time, the problem got under control, though I think pstd rubbed off on me. Maybe we all inherit flashbacks, and we weren't even there. He told me once that he hopes i never go through the same thing..
in the scene where rambo jumps into the Tree from the cliff stallone actually did the stunt himself and on the 3rd of the way down he landed on a branch and actually broke one of his ribs...
Who are they to protest me 😢, Great choice Ma’am, thanks for sharing 😊, enjoyed the reactions😊👍✌️🇺🇸
I went to Hope , Canada BC twice where they filmed it and it’s like a time capsule- so much is still the same
It's not Rambo First Blood. The movie is called "First Blood" John is a character in this movie. "First Blood" needs to be remembered for the title that gave birth to PTSD awareness of our proud service individuals. You will understand by the end of the film, Semper Fi Johnny!🙂
You could call it by its Alternative title.
Imagine getting treated like crap after you fought in a war that no one wanted to win by your own country...then you are carrying around all the horrors that you witnessed with no one to talk to,,, and no one really understanding.
Nothing is over,,,nothing,,,you just dont turn it off,,,love all the rambo movies,,,a few of my all time favorites
Its true many Vietnam Vets was spat on by Protestors and called bad names upon their return to the states. I even heard stories of some changing out ther uniform just so not to identified as a US Soldier . Very Sad and Confused time in US History.
Mitch the Red headed cop was the only one who didn't suck 😂
This movie projects the media accurately too.
I'll give the late Brian Denehey credit as an actor. In Will Teasle, he created one of the most evil characters in motion picture history.
Great Reaction.....
The movie is set in the Pacific Northwest.... So State of Oregon or Washington (Rambo also mentioned heading to Portland, OR).....
This was one of the First Post-Vietnam movies that addressed PTSD....
This is from a Novel/Book, They Changed the ending for the movie....
Will Teasale, the Sheriff, is a Decorated Korea Conflict Veteran, which is considered America's forgotten war, So there is some animosity between Veterans of different wars.
Art (Deputy who fell out of Helicopter) also served in Korea with Teasle.....
Rambo didn't kill till he had no choice....
Experts have been surveyed and verified that all the things in this movie is possible and realistic.
The "Weekend Warriors" (National Guard) have access to all the Weapons, depending on purpose of your unit.....
In the mine, Rambo knew that the first thing that would be done was an airshaft, and escape exit in case of cave-in......
Reason he blew up the Gas Station and the Gun Store was to draw the police away from the station, where Rambo knew the Sheriff would stay......
Rambo's Speech at the end is so elequently worded and performed.....
In my Opinion, Parts 2 & 3 have some unbelievable parts, Rambo (4) and Last Blood (5) are back the believable action......
The ending is heart felt, but back in the 80's when this movie came out and we little kids saw it, we were PSYCHED. We werent feeling sad...we were looking forward to Rambo killing everybody.
YES, thats what action heroes did in the 80's, and everyone LOVED it. It was a much better time in this country.
Rambo 2 is even better !
Watching a young lady watch this who wasn’t even born when it was made is awesome
Stallone's best acting job I personally think was the film "Cop Land" because he portrayed being just an average person of no special skills. Yet was a simple person with integrity. He didn't have the look of person with a personal trainer or Hollywood star. It made his role even more believable than any other.
5 Rambo movies and they get more violent and graphic as they go
Agent Orange was NOT DDT (an insecticide), it was a defoliant (remove foliage) to make it easier to see enemy troops.
The lesson of this movie... Be careful who you mess with! You never know what kind of bad arse's hornet's nest you're poking at. lol
Just wanted to say that the sheriff wasn't anti-Vietnam and small town America supported it. He just thought Rambo was a long-haired homeless hippie wearing someone elses military jacket.
Very nice reaction. I know that at your age movies from the 80s and 90s are classic films, but I hope you will find that some older movies are real classics as well. A couple great movies for you (if you haven't already seen them: The Sting (just fyi, there is a word used twice in this movie, I guess to make a point or for realism, it missed the mark and you may choose to edit it out or not) the movie with the exception of those 2 lapses in judgement is remarkably good. Also, The Great Escape. Great casts. Great stories. Hope you enjoy. Good luck with the channel.
In film, you can see the sheriff’s silver star, Purple Heart (combat wounded) and what I think is a distinguished flying cross behind his desk. He’s not a stranger to the military or war.
There's more to it than just bad treatment of Rambo...it's actually (in my humble opinion) a pretty nuanced story. The cop is trying to keep a precious status quo in his town, he's not a barbarian or a thug, just determined and loyal. He's also tough as hell, which works against him as the plot unfolds. Rambo, for all his PTSD, is a true blue maniac and whilst I don't for one second condone the harsh treatment he received, I wouldn't want a John Rambo in my town.
Maniac? Dude wanted pancakes. This move could've been 20 min of him visiting his friend, finding out he's dead, getting pancakes and leaving if the cops weren't dicks and escalated it at every turn.
@HaveMonkeyWillDance - Great comment. You do understand. It is a nuanced story. The Sheriff immediately identifies Rambo as a potential threat to this peaceful community and Rambo spends the rest of the movie proving the Sheriff was right. Though certainly not perfect, the Sheriff is the hero of the movie and Rambo is the villain. A true blue maniac . . . well said. Nearly all of the comments on this sight express sympathy for Rambo for what he went through. None of it, none of it justifies his actions, all of which he set in motion himself through his decision not to cooperate with the police. Not only wouldn't you want a John Rambo in your town you can tolerate him being there once he has exposed his true nature. Rambo should had died at the end of the movie, by his own hand, by his boss, or by the mob of police outside the station. He needed to die. I'll start feeling sorry for John Rambo right after I start feeling sorry for Charles Whitman. This was a good movie with a bad ending.
It's not that in that town they don't like soldiers. It's that in the U.S. there was a great mobilization against the Vietnam War, and there were many deserters, so the veterans of that war were considered unworthy.
My grandfather served in Vietnam and was actually ranked sergeant he told about when he came home back to the world and for a while it was hard for him to turn it off, I’m happy that he got help and I thank him for his service and actually this year he is getting his honor flight I’m so happy and proud of him
Like your look on your face about the realization about Nam two Uncles Served theer
All he wanted, was something to eat.
They are all good movies, the Rambo series.
I always loved Rambo more then Rocky. You will love these movies.
I eat green barries for breakfast….
Matrix (big Arnold)
Commando
Great film to react to 😄👍
In the mid to late 1970s and early 80s Vietnam Vets weren't regarded well, nor treated well. The war was very unpopular and the perception was we lost. So the Vets got labeled as losers and malcontents. A lot of them, like Rambo came home with severe PTSD, and it usually was not well treated. America's never really been kind to the homeless, so an indigent drifter Vietnam Vet of this era wouldn't have been well regarded by the Police, or society. The popularity of this film actually opened a lot of people's eyes to what was going on with our Vets, and changed a lot of minds. I always say First Blood did more for Vietnam Vets in 2 hours than the VA did in 20 years.
My brother went to Viet Nam . Although he didn't go into battle, being an Army Medic, he saw the result. Unfortunately, he was afflicted by Agent Orange in his late 60s. He received treatment for cancer, but ended up with congestive heart failure and cirrhosis of the liver. He died a little over 7 years ago.
Oh noo, I am so so sorry that he had to go through that. I can't imagine this brutal tragedy where so many vets suffered from this exposure. I do know how war affects our loved ones as my Dad was suffering repercussions of having to fight on front lines. My ❤️ goes out to you and all those who are dealing with life aftermath. Life really can be beautiful, I wish all this war would stop.
RAMBO FIRST BLOOD filming in British Columbia Hope ,Canada.beautiful country ,my country,i lived near hope town
In the original story by David Morrell Rambo dies at the end.
I think when he's getting arrested and he asks " what do you hunt with this?" I think he replies " the enemy"
rambo first blood is my favorites, it is more cerebral than just mindless action schlock.
uh, last thing i thought i'd see is the Jerry Stackhouse teal era Pistons jersey pop up at the end. i was a Pistons fan playing HS bball back then. Bought an Allan Houston jersey the day the news said it was guaranteed he'd resign, then saw on the news days later he signed with the Knicks. So I'm one of the few who owned the teal Pistons jersey he never wore. ha
In my top 5 fav of all time watching that movie at least once a years since realese in vhs back then
I just noticed after all these years, the front of that bazooka bent
He was told that Rambo was a military trained killing machine. That his only job on the battlefield was TO KILL, PERIOD. Yet that dumb sheriff still thought he could take him. My grandfather used to say that there is no cure for stupidity nor is there any way for an arrogant fool to get past their wounded pride.
A film that turns around entirely in the last 5 minutes!
National Guard soldiers are real soldiers, altho back then the training was a little different. Now days during war the National Guard either teams up with the active duty or are a army all themselves.
I guess the sheriff didn't make the cut, I pause it after you said that and you got the cutest funny look in your eyes 😊
The Army Special aka the Green Berets are trained to go behind enemy lines and train and lead insurgent groups. Much like the French Resistance in WW2. The Resistance caused the Greman Army to use two divisions trying to find and fight the Resistance.
Those hiking boots you say weren't comfortable are deceiving. If Sly were wearing OD (olive drab) green jungle boots... after its break in most likely were most likely very comfortable. During the late 1980's thru late 1990's I wore them while in the Army. THE best pair of canvas and leather personnel carrier's I've ever owned.
6:14 there were laws back then against homeless people. I forgot what they were called but it was for the response to increasing homeless vets coming back from the war.
Truck and Gas station blow up. 🔥💥🔥
Reembock: “If you were him would you do that?
Me: well.. not again…😈
Watch the 2nd Rambo movie and see how ''fairly'' he was treated. Trautman found him in a hard labor prison.
GREAT reaction, but a lot to digest 1st time. "First Blood" a hard movie cuz content more than "shoot 'em up." It's my fav Rambo movie as it showed what it was like for many Vietnam vets after the war. The 60s were tough time for USA (Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam war, Cold War). Yes, Apollo prgm was positive. "Big divide" (US still has stronger than ever - stoked by ExtremeS) started then I think. In many ways, our nation nvr really recovered frm Vietnam. Another "rough" Vietnam movie (not so much "action" rough) is "Born on the 4th of July" w/Tom Cruise. Personally tough for Me cuz I think even Gen X vets (dealt w/Iraq & Afghan) can relate in some way (raised to love our country as kids of the 80s, believe in strong America), then dealt w/a protracted & costly war w/mixed results (putting it mildly). After, (even tho USA learned a lot frm how terribly Vietnam Vets were treated) many vets & families still deal w/dif types of trauma yrs later. "Born of the 4th of July" shows innocence & All-American upbringing shattered. Isn't easy & dives into the uncomfortable. Sometimes, the uncomfortable needs to be confronted.
Referencing something you said in your reaction.I would love to see The Predator try his luck against John Rambo! Especially the one from "Prey."What do you think?Great reaction!😊
That's Rambalino baby!
That cover he put on wasn't in the scripts just happened to be there.
Hey there, I am a Naval Veteran of 10 years, The ending ALWAYS makes me tear up.
At the end of the book, Trautman kills Rambo. In fact, they filmed that ending and a few more.
im a big fan
Aww man! You kept the part about "to save you from him", and then left out the part about "good supply of bodybags".
Per what you said around the 6:44 minute nark, that was incorrect. Although the Vietnam War (and this movie) was before my time, I can tell you that the US soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War were DRAFTED...they were not given the choice. There was no 'not making the cut'. That was the era in which the draft was still in effect. Also, in this movie, the cop wasn't necessarily against soldiers...he was against 'vagrants' and the outside homeless coming into his quiet town. However, yes, in the novel, the Sherrif fought in the Korean War (about 15-20 years prior to the Vietnam War...but the Korean War was a forgotten one that never resonated with the US public, while the Vietnam War was ingrained in the American consciousness due to strong opinion for and against the war shared by the American people. So, in the novel, the Sherrif (Korean War veteran) was jealous a bit of Vietnam War vets, since the sentiments towards Vietnam War vets were so strong out there.
The actual name of the movie is just "First Blood " the sequel is "Rambo: First Blood part II "
This movie is an hour and a half long example of FAFO.
In the book Rambo and the Sheriff both die but I'm glad the movie left it open for the sequels
rambo is the best!!!!
Actually in the book, that this movie is based upon, the Sheriff is a Korean vet, with a grudge against the Vietnam vets for multiple reasons really. It creates a completely different dynamic than in the movie. It's a good read - if you have a chance, you should totally read it.
