John Wick was roughly 40-50 years old so Rambo would be right age to be his dad or grandad maximum. Vietnam was 70 years ago, you make it sound like it was several centuries ago
Rambo is more realistic then John wick, a veteran Soldier hiding in the woods and specializes in gorilla warfare and takes his enemies out one at a time
Agreed. Jack Nicholsons court speech in A Few Good Men. The similarities...both characters painted as the horror of evil... both characters responding as trained... both characters doing what needed to be done to maintain survival.. both characters jailed for doing the right thing.
Rambo was in the right..they screwed with him for no reason...humiliated him for their ego when he was just walking through the town in his way somewhere else
@@_ratnaputra_ Indeed, and the only reason they kept fucking with him even after they found who he was, before the first blood was because he was a Soldier of an unpopular war
@@drackestalentorgen166 and more than that, the sheriff only fought in the Korean war, and was jealous of John J. Rambo, who fought in the Vietnam War and unbeknownst to anyone in the states, except his comrades, suffered.
As someone who had a neighbor in nam' he was a frontline photographer...this man told me story after story of the 123 vipers, the pit trap pungee's..and the first uses of napalm. he told me that one guy caught in the crossfire had his arm burned to the stump and the smell of burning flesh was so thick you tasted it for days..he also said that the weather was the worst..sometimes as bad as ww2 trenches, and you never knew where the vietcong would pop up with how they knew the land..if there was a soldier like rambo...i wouldn't mess with them on the best days.
The Sheriff was a VERY well documented combat soldier as well......next time you watch the movie look at all his military awards and documents on his wall.
The ending where Stallone finally breaks down about the hell of war and losing people he cared for was heart breaking. I hope his portrayal was somewhat relatable to Vietnam Vets. I was never deployed in combat but once they returned the Civilians would greet them anytime they were out, buy them food or drink and say welcome home. I worked with Chaplains and setting up welcome back ceremonies was such a gift. Seeing a Soldier come in Angry or depressed and leaving my Chaplains office who himself had served in combat and for 40 years was such a beautiful thing. Taking care of families while the Soldiers were gone both was incredible but felt like there wasn't a point...because the soldier couldn't be there with them. Once they returned...there wasn't any party or parade that could match embracing spouses and children.
The best is that he personally fought for the right to make that ending. In the book that the movie is based on, Rambo actually dies during that final scene.
@@robertramsey653there was. I read it, probably a decade ago. In it, I learned that Teasdale was also a Vietnam Vet. The book does not say what his MOS was. I’m betting nothing even close to what John’s was. In the book, both die. It took the movie to keep him alive. Also in the book, there was an absolute trail of bodies. In some respects, the book was better, as it didn’t hold back. I think we have all seen the passage written on men who just wanted to be left alone. Rambo was one of them.
whenever he delivers the line "Over there, I was in charge of million dollars of equipment. Back here, I can't even hold a job parking cars!" and throws his gun into the wall or whatever, it always makes me choke up a little. I just really feel that. It was delivered so well, with such raw emotion, even if that emotion was just pure rage and sorrow mixed together to the boiling point.
It's not "hype" in Johns case! He (The sheriff) just could NOT accept that he was dealing with someone/something beyond his comprehension. His ego was too big to understand he wasn't the top of the food chain. Rambo was "Death incarnate" and he (the Sherriff) had EVERY warning that most military or police personnel with common sense would need to accept they are in over their heads.
The strong aura in the room when he starts telling him hes not just dealing with a looney vet. Hes dealing with a creature who has been reworked to decimate several people within an hour despite any condition. Actor playing the sheriff, his face really relays that realization
Men like Rambo is why I try to go out of my way and be kind and helpful with everyone I meet, you never know who your talking too and it’s good to do good.
Sylvester stallone really brings the very best character of rambo that over the years, rambo is still a known figure. He's a perfect actor that is really fit for the role.
John wick took notes from this one. Don’t misunderstand me both scenes are iconic and badass as hell. But this one came first. In john wick, viggo talks about him in awe and fear. In first blood, trautman just explains the facts to the police like a doctor telling his patient hes got about 10 months to live if he/she dont accept the treatment
It also fucks me up how the original character of Rambo was a huge douche bag until Stallone took the role and just decided that Rambo would be a mostly silent person.
First Blood was an excellent film in the wrong decade. One of the best Vietnam movies despite not being set there. Rambo was a troubled product of a senseless war. A time bomb looking for a purpose. There are no happy endings for a man at war with himself and this film did a great job at showing the level of turmoil Vets went through.
Infantry are crazy but commando is something different. Don't mess with them. If you in the sky you can fly, in the sea you can swim, but the land you run nowhere. And those man will make you disappeared without anyone notice.
I remember seeing the part at the beginning and his traps in a class to show trauma and how traps were done in Vietnam and they really brought back the pain the police with how they treated him
Yep experienced it once I'm still a kid in Philippines but the same applies here even though I saw it once I don't like to talk about it and I'm only expressing my thoughts to get it over my head
I did three tours to the middle east. I was no rambo by any means but the ending of this never hit so hard like it did the first time i watched it after i came home. It actauly made me cry. I had a small glimpses of his pain
I was probably 6 years old when I first saw this movie start to finish with my grandfather Man's been fighting cancer now for a few years now and I've seen his health deteriorate over the past few years now extremely glad he and I use to watch the Rambo set and Rocky set and more Even tho ya ain't my blood grandfather Stevie baby I love ya straight up
its so weird to know we live in an era when these men are all gone. i had the pleasure of knowing many vietnam vets. all polite. soft spoken. caring. and helpful. everything after that cant say i care too much about. just some cool dudes.
40 or years later and that pep talk still goves me chills. The first Rambo was such a good and smart movie. It explained a lot about the trauma that people brought home from Vietnam. Im sure theres 100s of good soldiers like him that got abandoned by the government and forgotten by society.. I salute all of them 🇺🇸👍
Tell that to militaries fighting snipers, they will litterally call in enough firepower to level small countries to kill them sometimes, and it usually doesn't work. The Russians had it with the white death during the winter war, the Americans have had it happen to them in basically every conflict since ww2, and basically everyone had it at some point during ww2.
Most will focus on numbers, thinking that's all there is to warfare, but a single sniper can hold down a battalion for days. A handful of commandos can harass and cut the strength from under an entire army. A single asshole with some explosives can destroy supply lines and leave troops devoid of ammo, food and water when they need it most. A scalpel can do more damage than a broadsword.
@@asurasyn I agree that a scalpel. is able to inflict more damage than a broadsword.... It is an ugly (but closely hidden) fact that if a doctor or a nurse in a hospital doesn't like you, chances are that you're not going to see the outside world again...
They need to make that into a movie. This whole speech lays it out. Rambo, from being recruited, the training he described, and his "win by attrition" time in Vietnam. It would end with him crossing the bridge at the beginning of "First Blood".
@@ms6394yeah guerilla warfare is a bitch to fight against. But considering last time we had a direct fight with Iran we dropped half their navy in a single business day while suffering virtually no casualties I'd say they don't really stand much of a chance.
@@levialdrich9342 you mean 40 years ago when Iran fought US navy with boats while fighting Iraq at the same time?not to mention with boat alone they took down one cobra,bridgeton oil tanker and Uss Samuel b.roberts And we're talking about when they had no ballistics or cruise missiles or drones advanced enough for Russia to buy
I like how a cop's ego literally set all this into motion and regardless of how bad it gets or how many people get hurt he just refuses to admit he is wrong.
"it wasn't my war you asked me I didn't ask you" "I did what I had to do to win but somebody wouldn't let us win" I'm still a child but when I heard that line...like I felt that that line hit hard af

My head canon is Rambo is John Wicks great great something grandad
John Wick was roughly 40-50 years old so Rambo would be right age to be his dad or grandad maximum. Vietnam was 70 years ago, you make it sound like it was several centuries ago
That'd make john wick part native American and German (going off the films not the book)

Wait, are you referring to that movie about this old man in WW2 killing Nazis?

"It's over Johnny."
"Nothing is over!!"
"Nothing!"
One of my all time favorites from the 80s.
So deep
I’m just glad I saw him through all his movies since my youth
The book is even more intense, I highly recommend it.

One of the coldest monologue in a movie that I’ve ever heard.
Tbh this was the first cold speech about a death machine the second one was in John Wick
Rambo's monologue in the station was great too.

This monolog ranks up there with Robert Shaws monolog about the USS Indianapolis in Jaws.

Love how the Colonel is just matter of fact talking about a killing machine. No yelling, no threats, just explaining
"im just amazed, he allowed any of your posse to live"
😅😅😅😅
On the Vietnam Wall in D.C there's a Sargent John Rambo, he never made it back. A true hero.
The strong aura in the room when he starts telling him hes not just dealing with a looney vet.
Hes dealing with a creature who has been reworked to decimate several people within an hour despite any condition. Actor playing the sheriff, his face really relays that realization
Throughout this whole movie his only role was to be Rambos hype man.
