Forgot to comment on the music. The score by Jerry Goldsmith is so good. Carrying all the emotions and intensity of Rambo's journey. The main theme, "It's Been a Long Road" in the score and sung by Dan Hill is much appreciated. Goldsmith also scored the next 2 sequels. The main theme itself remains one of the best from the era.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

To anyone that says Stallone can't act, I give you the bit where he breaks down at the end describing his friend getting blown up. That's some of the best acting I've ever seen.

And this was at the end of the 80s! IMO ALL YOU VETERANS SHOULD BE TREATED AS THE HEROES YOU ARE! Loved my Grandpa and love you all brothers YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN NOT EVER!

The part where Rambo does that high fall off the cliff jnto the trees, when you see Stallone land on that branch and scream, then say “Oh Jesus!” It’s because he actually broke a rib. That cry of pain and exclamation are 100% genuine. He hit the branch at a bad angle, directly on his side. Also, during the jailbreak scene, when you see Stallone elbow a cop in the face and the cop falls down screaming in pain, that was real, he actually broke the stunt man’s nose.

[@solarprophet5439]

The My Lai massacre is what really caused the perception of soldiers to change. Yes, it was a horrible atrocity, but it was a renegade group of men with a leader who had no business being one in the first place. Unfortunately, the government tried to cover it up. Furthermore, the one man who tried to do something about it, Major Hugh Thompson, was seen as a traitor, and sent on extremely dangerous missions to try and get him killed for speaking the truth of what happened. Major Thompson saw what was happening, set his chopper down between the rampaging 'soldiers' and a group of women and children who were trying to hide in a bunker. Before leaving to speak to said soldiers, he ordered his door gunner to open fire on them if they started shooting at the civilians. He was, and is, a hero. Unfortunately, people didn't look at his actions, they looked at the actions of everyone else, mostly because his role wasn't widely known until many years later. Vietnam was terrible, and we had no business there. But I blame our government and leadership, not the soldiers on the ground, except where warranted of course. They deserved, and still do deserve, far better than they got when they returned home. They were a bunch of kids forced into a horrible situation, and it's amazing to me that ANYONE can return home even somewhat sane after what many of them went through.

[@Jordashian93]

Stallone brought intense physicality, obviously, but also hangdog vulnerability to a character who takes revenge on a cruel, unfeeling establishment and utters some of the most iconic lines in shoot’em’up history.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Honest to god Sly should have gotten an Oscar nomination for this movie. Which the exception of Creed and Rocky 1 this is his best performance of all time. The final scene when he talks about how horrifying the Vietnam War was still makes me cry to this day. Also he very wisely had the ending changed as well as him killing no one directly. In the original book First Blood Rambo actually completely snaps and goes on a killing spree and the book ends with Colonel Trautman shooting and killing Rambo like he was putting down a rabid animal. But Stallone in his amazing foresight knew this character needed sequels so he encouraged the director and the studio to have him kill no cops or guardsmen and have him arrested instead of killed off.

[@dancarter482]

Kirk Douglas was not amused!

[@ChipCrisper]

This is truly the only pure action film that makes me cry like a baby. They treat Rambo so horribly for literally doing nothing. It's F'ing heartbreaking.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

It wasn't heartbreaking to these two. They clowned and joked their way through the entire film. Both of these guys imagine themselves as comedians, and both think we came here to see their "comedy". This happens to a LOT of reaction channels. They reach a certain size, their egos swell, and they become tedious and annoying. They no longer react to films, but instead try to make every reaction into some kind of comedy show.

There is quite a difference in the novel regarding Sheriff Teasle. He is a Korean War vet who is going through his own issues. If you look in his office you can see that he has a Silver Star on display. The Korean war is also known as the “Forgotten War” because it was largely overshadowed by WWII and Vietnam. So, in addition to how controversial the Vietnam war was, the perception of being "forgotten" further enhanced Teasle's resentment of Rambo.

If you see promotional material for this film you can see Kirk Douglas as Colonel Samuel Trautman throughout the banner and various posters that can be found online. He then backed out due to not wanting the idea of Rambo surviving in the end. He wanted Rambo to die at the hands of Trautman just as the novel. Then Richard Crenna stepped in and had a bit of resurgence and even shot the alternate ending with Rambo dying by Trautman but the test audience didn't like it and reshot the ending with him surrendering to the authorities.

[@davidd.6448]

Never knew that. Honestly, that would have been a better movie. I think Crenna is too much of a hammy old time actor, 80s Kirk Douglas would have been more believable as a grizzled veteran colonel.

[@ianjardine7324]

A lot of people miss that in some shots in the sheriff's office you see war memorabilia. This would imply the sheriff was a Korean war vet many such men looked down on Vietnam vet's partly for "losing" the war but also for the widely reported atrocities they also saw the Vietnam vet's rejection of military discipline and standards while still wearing their old uniforms as a direct insult.

The setting of this movie is probably one of the best as it was filmed in and around a town called Hope in British Columbia Canada. The famous gun that was used by Stallone(Rambo) is the M60 Machine Gun which did get heavy even for Stallone at times so you see him put it down before The Outpost blows up.

It really made us aware of the treatment of Vietnam Vets. This movie also launched an obsession with teenage boys and survival knives. I had one. Everyone did. Had a compass like Rambo's. Fishing line, matches. It was amazing. lol That scene at the end always gets me. Sly was absolutely brilliant.

The buildup with Trautman was actually for an alternate ending where during the ending confrontation, Trautman kills Rambo, before his breakdown. the test screening were outraged Rambo wasn't allowed closure or redemption. So they used an alternate take where Stallone broke into the monologue.

Love you guys. This is wild. You really had no idea what you were getting into, and I'm so glad you finally watched this one and found out. It makes me wonder how familiar you are with the first Rocky movie. This franchise, and the first movie, is much like how that franchise is. The climax of this movie will never cease to leave me in awe. What a choice. What a time - when an action movie ends with an emotional monologue, tears, and a hug.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Most people that don't know the movies expect First Blood to be like the sequels. This is the movie that built the franchise, and for good reason. Vietnam Vets were treated so bad and Stallone portrayed it so well. The obvious town's main "RESTAURANT" when he breaks out of the police station is such a great part of this movie that many don't notice. Also, every kid in the 80's wanted a "Survival Knife" like Rambo had. It had matches, a hook, fishing line, and a sharpening stone in the handle, then a screw on compass at the end of the handle to waterproof it and enclose it all.

[@rascalmatt6713]

Everyone's experience in combat is unique. And everyone is affected by their experience differently. It may all be "similar" but it is always unique.

[@mattd687]

Stallone did a lot of his own stunts in the movie. The part where Rambo is going up the hill on the bike, but then loses control and falls back down the rock hill at 14:29 was him. He says on the dvd commentary that he hurt his hands when falling. When Rambo jumped off the cliff, at 17:47, a stuntman did the jump but Stallone himself jumped the final 10 feet before landing in the trees where he hurt his ribs.

[@k.delpino1124]

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.

1982 was one of the best cinematic years ever.

[@TheOneWhoLaughs101]

Sometimes deviating from the source material works out good... It gave us one of the most badass, legendary action heros of all time... John Rambo, the one man army, also one of the most tragic and broken. In the book Rambo is as skilled as the movie says he was, "the best" but he was not a good dude, he was a psychotic and murderous man riddled with PTSD due to the Vietnam war that strolled into town acting strange. The Sheriff is like, well the main hero of the book, he's not necessarily a good man nor a bad one. He is a Korean War vet and quite bitter. Rambo's phyce is breaking down big time while passing through, causing disturbances when brings Teasle, Teasle gives him every chance but ends up to arrest him that thats would leads to Rambo snapping and going on a blood path of carnage and chaos, killing innocent civilians at random as well as perusing authorities. Quentin Tarantino expressed interest over the years to adapt the book and make Rambo the terrorising villain he was in said book with Adam Driver playing Rambo, would LOVE to see that 🤞

Leroy is name with French origins. Meaning, “the king”. It was at its most popular during the mid-nineteenth century and was also be a habitation name from 'Le Roy', the name of several places in France. This name originated from the Normans, descendants of Norse Vikings. Earliest references cite Guillaume De Roy (William of Roy), who was a knight of the Knights Templar. In Canada and the States, the descendants of the families of Roy, Le Roy, that immigrated from France to North America have been granted a coat of arms by the Governor General of Canada. In England, Le Roy, or Le Roi was a title that was used by the kings of England and as a family name. This is seen with surnames like Fitzroy, from Fi(t)z, meaning "son of" and Le Roy, "king", denoting the name bearer as a "son of the king".

You chose Creed, and Hal (Rudnick) chose this movie, whereas JTE (Josh) chose original Rocky. Would you look back at that fight on the missed as hell podcast with different thoughts now that you've seen it for yourself?

Brian Dennehey's daughter, Elizabeth Dennehey played Riker's 1st officer in the Borg episodes (Best of Both Worlds pt.1 & 2) of Star Trek TNG.

And she came back for a cameo in Picard.

​@pjny21 NO WAY!!Did she really?I don't have Paramount +,and I heard season 3 of Picard was really good, but I'm missing out!

His other speech to his son in Rocky Balboa is just as good in a different way.

Just a heads up, Cinebinge got copyright claimed for this movie.

They actually just called the second movie "Rambo" with "First Blood Part 2" in small print at the bottom of the poster. Most people didn't know it was a sequel, many didn't even after seeing it, not finding out until the next one came out and was called "Rambo 3" "First Blood" wasn't a huge hit, but it wasn't really a huge movie, and it was made before Stallone was really a huge star. It was enough of a hit to make a sequel. In the interim he'd gotten more popular, so "Rambo: FBP2" was a much bigger movie, with a bigger marketting and distribution push. "First Blood" for a long time was one of those video store "gems" most people didn't really know about until the second movie came out. A secondary effect of this was that a lot of people, even his *fans* weren't really aware of his acting range until they went to get the first-installment back story of "Rambo: FBP2" from the video store. Over the years, "First Blood" has deservedly become more popular and better known than "RFBP2," but it took time and people had to "discover" it after seeing the more initially popular second movie. Crazy story about the third movie... Rambo's fighting Soviets in Afghanistan and then during post-production right before the movie was released, The Berlin Wall came down and The Cold War ended... So then for the fourth movie, to make sure that they wouldn't get caught with their pants down the same way, he contacted various huminitarian organiazations and *asked* about parts of the world where actual scary sh!t was going down and deserves more attention. Rambo 4 takes place in Myanmar, whose history since their independence from The British has been checkered with constant unrest and conflict.

Guys… hes a vietnam vet. They were trying to tale him down in a forest. Put 2 and 2 together, its his main combat experience, he used what he learned over there and brought it here including the leg traps and psychological warfare. Its crazy you’re so surprised what he can do

[@JoltzDaGhost]

Stallone actually broke a rib on that tree jump hes such a beast

[@airmaxwell]

One of my favorite movies ever

[@frizzyred1292]

Richard Crenna is soooo underrated in that movie. The way he delivers those lines and his mannerisms, superb characterization.

[@Rosquilliam2]

Great film. I watched this for the first time as an adult and was like “Whoa…this is some serious subject matter.”. Saw FB part 2 and Rambo III a few times but never saw First Blood in its entirety until like 15 years ago. 🥴🥴😂

[@jaytrace1006]

I never saw Troutman’s role in this story as a betrayal of Rambo. He stepped in and made this escalation dissipate, not because he had any sympathy for the sheriff or the town. He cared about Rambo, and knew he got crapped on on a daily basis. He didn’t want this situation to get so bad that Rambo would go down, not as a Medal of Honor winner, but for a fiery deletion of an entire American town. How would that affect Rambo? How much closer to utter insanity would that whole remembrance bring him down the road? Troutman did everyone, even Rambo, a favor by getting directly involved.

[@LibertarianJRT]

Every Rambo has timely commentary and the real weight of things. It is a hallmark of the drama.

[@senpaigarr]

Being a Canadian, I'm proud to say that the town is that of Hope, British Columbia, Canada. Golden Ears Provincial Park, Port Coquitlam, and Pitt Lake were also used...not Colorado or Portland! lol.

[@Lava91point0]

I love after being taken on a rollercoaster of emotions and the credits roll, they're about to get into the commentary of the movie and deep conversation, then suddenly out of nowhere *MERRY BALLS-MAS REJECT NATION!!*

[@kylemcnicholas4133]

He did say it was 30 miles south to Portland, so it had to take place omewhere north of Vancouver, Washington. Although it was filmed up in Canada.

[@BigLousClubhouse]

19:16 Oh I REALLY hope you guys make it to watch Rambo 3 and remember this commentary!!! hahahahaha

[@gland1830]

In '73 I came home for leave, and the moment I stepped off the plain I was spit on. My mistake wearing my uniform. It wasn't until 2006 someone actually said to me 'Thank you for your service." And I am only one of thousands with this experience. This movie went a long way in relating the plight of those returning from war into a part of society that neither understood nor accepted them.

[@johnnyguitar6639]

Guys there is a tactic to what he does in the town towards the end. He cut the fuel supply to the "enemy" Than he cut the power,than take away their "armory"
