    I remember it being 1982 and my older cousin came to town from Portland, Oregon to stay with his father for Summer and we were goimg with my dad to a wedding of a family friend and my cousin telling us about First Blood. I was 8 going on nine that summer and after hearimg about the movie I begged my father the whole week to take us to it and he and his brother took my cousin and I to it. Funny thing is me being so young not understanding that both my uncle who served in vietnam in the Special Forces and my father who served in the Army Combat Engineers during the Tet Offensive, how this movie affected them during us viewing it. I remember them both being very Tense and very serious during the whole movie. At the conclusion of the movie when Rambo Breaks down it was very emotional for them both and I remember my father taking a very deep breath and was fighting back tears and my uncle kind of nodding his head in approval of Stallone and the movie. I remember back then the veterans still weren't treated very good and they still were made to feel bad about being there and right after we went to that movie we all went to this Vietnam veterans get together and my uncle and after both got these real cool t-shirts that commemorates them being in Vietnam and my father who was a photographer took pictures of them both and I still have the picture and I think That First Blood kind of helped them feel a little better about themselves. That's big time because Vietnam really messed my father up with PTSD that took effect a couple years after 82 and Agent Orange a few years later. The government finally recognised that my father was exposed to the chemical but it took them 25 years and two bouts of cancer for them acknowledge it.

      @@DrumdumsMovieReviews no problem brother. Thankyou for taking the time to read my comment. But really the First Blood series kind of helped my father feel better about being a veteran. Him and my Uncle are huge Stallone fans as am I we never missed a single movie in the theater. Well we didn't go see stop or my mom will shoot but the rest we always were ready to watch a great Stallone movie. I just wish my uncle who served in the Special Forces on Recon Team Mamba was still alive because he really liked the first one and the 2008 one. Cool thing is his superior officer who fought alongside him kind of like Troutman became a Two Star general. Gen. Eldon Bargewell and he and the fort Bragg green beret color guard came to his funeral. It wasn't until then that we found out how highly decorated of a soldier he was it blew me away. He never told us how many awards he won. But I got to meet his buddy and shake the hand of a general in charge of Delta force which was a great honor. My uncle told me once when we were drinking beers and listening to his favorite singer Marty Robbins, that he regretted getting out of the service after his tour. He said he too probably could have done what his buddy Eldon did and became a general but he said he just wanted to get back home and party. He said the first thing he did was go visit my dad at his work and he was able to purchase a small handgun in the lunchroom of the potlatch mill my father worked at. He said times were different back then imagine being able to purchase a firearm at your workplace. He then said I didn't feel safe until I had that weapon on me, after that he said he could breathe. He never complained about having PTSD and I know he had it but smoked a ton of weed and drank a lot of beers to calm the nerves. My uncle being a green beret he told us he did approve of Stallone and First Blood. Ironic that the last movie I ever watched with my Uncle was 2008 Rambo on cable in 2010 about a year before he passed. I wish he was alive for this new one I would have bought him a ticket and picked him up and we would have watched it this Friday. Like Rambo he lived in Chaing Mai back in 1983-84 and even named his small yacht after it with the city name painted on the back. Have a good one Lee, I know on Friday my brothers and I are gonna while we watch Rambo in his final movie.

    I saw "First Blood" in the theater when I was a kid, and I had never even seen a Rocky film before, so I was new to Stallone.
    When they ran that knife across his chest in the flashback, that was something I'll never forget. "First Blood" was one of my greatest moviegoing experiences.
    Then next year I saw "Rocky 3" in the theater, my first Rocky film. That was even more incredible for me.
    Those films are a year apart, and it's amazing how different those characters were. Not just the person, but the way Stallone seemed to transform his body from one film to another.
    And then look at "Nighthawks." That was released the same year as "First Blood" and it's hard to believe it's the same guy in both films.

    I've followed you for about a year now and have seen damn near every review you've done, going back to some of the earliest ones. This one however, I'm going to have to say is probably one if not your very best, Lee. This movie is way too often overlooked as an action film ( which it is clearly) but it goes way deeper than that, often being very much a thriller and a psychological study. It's very tragic and the final speech to Troutman is soul crushing when he mentions the hatred of civilians he suffered in addition to witnessing sheer horror.
    It's always an honor to have you share your military background with us all and as always, I am eternally grateful for your service and the service of millions of other veterans everywhere. Thank you!

    I've warmed up to First Blood over the years. When I first saw it, I didn't really like it. But I gave it a second chance & I'm glad I did. The maiming montage in the forest is one of the best sequences in the film. David Caruso was one of the deputies in the film long before his roles in the tv shows NYPD Blue & CSI: Miami. Kirk Douglas was originally supposed to play Cournal Troutman. There's an animated series called Rambo: The Force Of Freedom that aired in the late 80s.

  • @The3rdGunman

    I ask myself how did I miss this yesterday. 🤔💭🤷‍♀️lol I haven't seen last blood yet cause I know it came out today. I'll be watching it within the next few days. You mentioned a number of behind the scenes stuff that I never knew about first blood, like the movie originally being a 3 hr movie and using real rats to name a few. I have to tell you that I love all these Rambo Movies but my brother is actually the one that's really into the Rambo Franchise. Everytime any of the Rambo movies come out on cable he watches them, he knows all the lines to each movie but the one that stands out the most for me that my brother loves repeating alot when the movie goes on is "All I wanted was something to eat" it drives his girlfriend nuts that she has to leave the room. lol My brother doesn't know this but this year I'm getting him 3 Rambo Tshirts for Christmas. One of them has that phrase printed on it. lol One last thing Lee, is that I really admire you for being in the service as long as you were. My uncle served for 21yrs also retired and my Grandpa served in the Army and actually fought on the field at WWII. He's going on 3yrs since he passed away but before that he once told me that he was shot on the arm or leg during the war (I can't remember which). He earned his purple heart plus other medals and he was recognized during his funeral services. That's why i have so much respect for anybody and everybody that has served for our country, including you and for that I thank you.

    I'm wanted to go back and commend you on this great review. Its one of my all time favorite films, and I just rewatched it last night and had my wife sit and watch it. She liked it. In my opinion it is a perfect movie. I know it technically is not but for my taste it is. It has a simple plot, great characters (especially John Rambo, he is a very deep character). Sheriff Teasle is a great villain that you love to hate as was Galt. I love the relationship between Trautman and Rambo. Im not one to get emotional easily at movies but the ending speech Sylvester Stallone delivers as he breaks down gets me misty eyed. Knowing that there are vets in real life struggling with those same things just breaks my heart. This is just a great movie with a powerful message. Great review Lee. Thank you once again Lee for your service to this great country, nothing but love and respect for you! ✌

As a result of this movie whenever I see someone wither in uniform or with say a cap with their unit on it I always make a point of thanking them for their service. I hate how people were so misinformed back then and took out their anger over the war on the men who fought not the people who were responsible for sending them there to fight. Just seems so stupid to me. It seems our country learn its lesson. I hope so.

    the scenes with col. trautman are brilliant
    when you get to rambos 2 and 3, you see trautman as a character evolve
    and same goes for stallone's performance as rambo
    and theres more characters in rambo 2 and 3 that are entertaining
    like for 2, you have murdock , as well as that girl rambo talks to
    while with 3, kurtwood smith makes an appearance as robert griggs, an embassy official that warns rambo that trautman was captured by soviet colonel zaysen and his henchmen
    in both sequels, basically rambo gets into more fights with enemies
    but the pacing of the fights seems to get better on these two sequels
    first blood is a great start to the rambo movie series
    highly recomend you look at rambo 2 and 3

He would set canned food in the halls so if i ran through there he would hear it fall over or hear me trip lol Ahh those were the good times lol.

  • @duvan.deschain
    @duvan.deschain 4 года назад

    Awesome review! I never really watched any of the sequels because they just seem to have missed the point which like you said was making a character study. Now, I'm no expert on the Vietnam War but I understand it was pretty pointless or a big mistake, and where this movie shines is showing that the soldiers were not to blame since they suffered terribly (illustrated in the last scene) because they were simply taking orders. I know there's a lot of gray areas in that regard but anyways, the movie was indeed a great character piece.
    Also, it's always great to have your insight about the military life, I think you could do something really interesting based on that experience.

  • @carterslade8771
    @carterslade8771 4 года назад

    The only two films in this series I really enjoy are this one and Rambo (IV). I feel that with the gritty, grounded and emotional take that each film offers they work great as companion pieces. As opposed to the second and third movies, which while rad action flicks, feel a little silly and bombastic to me. I'm hoping that with Last Blood, we get what could be seen as a real trilogy of films that have at least some of the soul of the first.
