FIRST BLOOD Behind The Scenes (1982) Action, Sylvester Stallone, Rambo

[@dcpowered]

This movie is timeless for me. I keep rewatching it... decade after decade. The old era of movies just had a unique charm to it! A somehow comforting and familiar feeling.

[@sbenn6917]

Totally agree. This one is definitely in my top 10. There is just something about it.

[@williamsmiler184]

You got it! What a feeling at the time to enjoy cinema it was.

[@Rob-z7k]

Its a classic!

[@bb-gc2tx]

the late 70s early 80s was a great era

[@LiLgPnoy15]

First Blood is the best Rambo film

[@hectorlopez1069]

I agree, it is the best ever

[@dickborg452]

I agree

[@sjoormen1]

It's the only one.

[@funkydozer]

Great soundtrack, incredible pace, atmosphere so real you can feel the cold on your skin, solid acting all round. This was not a Rambo movie, it was its own masterpiece.

[@samson5791]

Well stated 👍

[@edwardwilliammorris1340]

For me one of the best films ever made . I watch it over and over across the years

[@RobertWeir]

That truck scene where it breaks through the barricade , and the perfevt timing of the music .. Cinematic history.

[@jeremylong366]

I totally agtee

[@jeremylong366]

I meant to say agree

[@MethosChannel]

First Blood and Rocky 1&2 is hands down Stallones best work. The drama is perfect.

[@SixStringSteve]

and Rocky 3 🤘

Also 'Creed' please include that too.

[@scottmansoori]

Don't forget Copland.

[@ericwieboldt7042]

He didnt have a mental breakdown because of his experiences in the Vietnam war. He had a mental breakdown as a result of the way he was treated at home. This is why you dont mess with people.

[@Afghanen]

Amen to that! My dad was in Da Nang 1968, he was cheered when he left, spitted on when he came back. He Commited suicede when i was a kid. Not because of all the fear and gruesome he seen in Vietnam.No, because of the discusting people in our country that called him a baby killer.

[@ericwieboldt7042]

@@Afghanen I'm so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to come home to cheers and still found it difficult. I cant imaging what your father went through. I thank both you and your father for your service.

[@Afghanen]

@@ericwieboldt7042 Thank You Eric. That means a lot to me. Thanks again.

[@rustneversleeps85]

You don't know much about PTSD, do you? Without his experiences in Vietnam, a person wouldn't react in this fashion to pretty much any thing that goes down in the opening act. They clearly show him snapping due to ASSOCIATIONS from Vietnam. No one beats up an entire police station cuz they want to shave him lol.

[@ericwieboldt7042]

@@rustneversleeps85 light infantry reconnaissance for 12 years performing RSTA (Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition) in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Two tours each. The last six years of my career I was a sniper and the last two years I was the sniper section leader. It's easy to run your mouth from behind your parents computer. Where did you serve again? What's your rating through the va for PTSD? I didnt think so.

[@m1lst3r89]

One of movies you watch like a young boy, then as a grown up man.

[@pam7022]

B dennehy contribution is seriously underrated in this film.

[@Tjoppy]

By whom?

[@driffter1976]

Who ever said that? This 'underrated' nonsense is out of hand.

[@Tjoppy]

@@driffter1976 apparently some people feel the need to say that someone is 'seriously underrated' but when you ask 'by whom' there is no response. So I agree with you that sometimes it's just nonsense to say that, like in this case.

[@zerglilngvet5428]

first! one of best film ever made

[@jaggudada8676]

RAMBO 1....Is Like A Old Wine......Like A Exceptional One In Your Movie Collection 😊😊😊

[@meatclaw7292]

Watched it last week with my kid....'Dont push me' is now a common phrase around the house. Job done!

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

I say to my wife " I'll give you a war you won't believe " 😂

[@simonm7133]

I remember being blown away by this film (never really got into the sequels). The late, great Brian Dennehy's performance is especially good. When Rambo finally gets up to him with the knife against his throat, he conveys real fear at what he has unleashed. Terrific movie which stands the test of time on repeated viewings.

[@OkinInc]

Agreed. Sequels seemed tacky and cash grabs to me and my brothers. We’d always go back to First Blood. Such a great movie and a sad way to find out how the Vets were treated upon their return home.

[@sherman4970]

Without question this is Stallones best movie ever!!! Superb !!!!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Probably so, it's sensational to this day.

[@johnhenryNC]

Love First Blood and I believe it's Stallone's best work. Stallone breaking down at the end was the most powerful scene.

[@1pcfred]

Rocky 1 is Sly's best. First Blood is good stuff too though. I'd give it the second slot.

[@stevenedwards5356]

Still one of the best movies of all time. Only gets better with age.

[@chuckselvage3157]

Great film. The scene at the end was so good. Stallone should have been considered for a Academy Award.

[@furyss1tv184]

I can never turn the movie off if I see it.I see it at the movies in nineteen eighty two and i've been watching it ever since I think it's one of sylvester stallone's best movies and it's very underrated

[@mercatorjubio3804]

You just don't turn it off!

[@manofbeard]

@@mercatorjubio3804I see what you did there 😂

[@driffter1976]

Underrated? How the hell did you come to that conclusion?????

[@timbrown8038]

This came out when I was active duty Army stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington. I remember seeing it on post and it was a crazy fun time for everyone in there.

[@Xstrada1]

I was stationed there at the same time 👍

[@tse7794]

If you saw Ft Lewis today you wouldn’t recognize it. North Fort is completely different. God bless

[@grizbear9519]

First Blood is a classic. Timeless. I stop and watch it EVERY time I see it on TV

[@philosopher1a]

This is one of those movies perfectly cast and directed and a super classic

[@SetInStoneNow]

Hard to believe the book bounced around Hollywood for ten years before it was finally turned into a movie. One of the classics of the time, I remember lining up to see it on a Saturday night. With a million other people. It was so huge.

[@Dookvia]

Brian Dennehy's acting in this movie is mind-blowing.

[@zedman6516]

I feel really fortunate that I got to see it in the theater when it first hit, and that I got to see Sly through his whole career to now. There will ever only be 1 Sly, he is a tuff act to follow.

[@lelikbolek1362]

I,personally love all about this movie: characters,music , location, time of year,weather-perfect. Keep watching it.

[@TowGunner]

They aren’t lying. In the book, Rambo shoots anyone and anything that comes into his gunsight. The team with the dogs are all killed. It’s a very brutal book.

[@jasonbowe9767]

Thank you for making one of the greatest movies ever and one of the greatest characters in Rambo.

[@gilbertarmstrong9666]

First Blood and it's series Rambo are my favourite action and war movies ever.

[@MsBLACKSCREEN]

If They ever remake First Blood, I feel it would be interesting to make it as the Book Portrayed Rambo !!😎

[@thomaswillans4085]

This film speaks to me in a profound way. Maybe 7 was too young to watch it😂

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

That's how old I was.

[@lancearp7389]

Great movie. The sequels were over the top fun. This one was based on terrible treatment our veterans received, powerful stuff

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Stallone did not get enough credit for his awesome performance in Rambo; amazing. Also some very smart choices made by the directors/producers.

[@James1-9-7-8]

It’s definitely the best Rambo movie. And, yes, his reaction is due to repeated mistreatment at home. He tries desperately to avoid conflict, but the locals will not leave him alone then all hell breaks loose…

[@gzuzsavz]

...everyone HAS to watch part 2 of this video!

[@1pcfred]

The final product of First Blood is a solid piece. It has a good balance. The story is believable. At no time did I feel insulted while watching it. There's movies that are so stupid I just stop watching them. First Blood I can watch from the beginning to the end. That's something.

[@gzuzsavz]

I remember seeing the trailer for this film yet! - "What..was that? What's this?! Omgosh..i have to see it!" Ofc i did not make the theater as I didn't have a car yet at the time, aha. But yeah..anytime it hit cable, i watched it. I have it on my pc, now..a digital 1080p copy 😊The Teminator..Jaws..First Blood..there was some srs magic in film making in that era. First Blood is a "Perfect Storm" of folks on both sides of the camera.

[@highdesertutah]

I read the book in the 1990’s. It’s a lot more hard core than the movie.

[@chantaldelorme7054]

Un hommage aux anciens combattants du Vietnam qui ont été mal accueillis après la guerre, merci Mr Rambo

[@frednugent2310]

I've always remembered Colonel Troutman saying Rambo can eat things that will make a Billy goat puke.

[@psynriter]

I remember my now brother in law had this on video at home and I watched it over and over enough to compromise the video quality. Classic movie

[@Adam-gp7co]

The old movies are the best

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Please tell me Jerry Goldsmith received a few awards for the musical score! I almost don't think I've ever heard a better musical score for a movie.

[@nickgodfrey1148]

Definitely one of his best. Great composer.

[@leylaaghdam9425]

Thank you very much for this precious piece you put here in access for cinema lovers. Specially this masterpiece ✨🎯💥

[@grahamarnhem8659]

The musical score captures the melancholy of the character perfectly.

[@everybodythinkstheywantfreedom]

holy sheet, i watched first blood in cinema but this is first time i see the director + kassar +vajna

[@sonamsonam9604]

My favorite movie Rambo

[@Joel-Serra]

David Morrell says Rambo kills "perhaps 250 people" in his 1972 First Blood novel. As Andrew Vajna says here, he didn't want Rambo to be a "crazy murderer" So they decided to reduce the kill count from around 250 down to 1 This made it much easier for us, as viewers to sympathize with Rambo.

[@Pure-Minty]

One of my all time favourite movies. I've read the book also and Rambo is a real bad ass in that.

[@ahlads]

A beautifully shot and impeccably acted film and one of my favourite films I watch often. Even bought it on HDDVD when it came out!

[@Edgar_Randolph]

I've seen this film, I'd guess around about 140 times. I'm so glad that they, Carolco & Buzz, Ted, all involved, did persevere with it. It's one of the greatest films ever produced in my opinion. Spencer.kissack, author.

[@TheAmc1971]

Jerry Goldsmith score is fantastic..you can immediately recognize it👌☺️

[@shanke300]

My fav Stallone movie.

[@RickEllis68]

This movie is the reason I joined the Army

[@garrybaldy327]

Every time I hear that line "John Rambo is a Vietnam vet. Green beret. He won the congressional medal of honour", I think of that scene in The Sopranos "That Valery, he's a Russian green beret. Killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. He's an interior decorator" 😂

[@emkey9104]

This movie shows the only 2-stroke yamaha xt250 :)

[@doacarnage]

We were so excited for this movie, as we lived in Surrey BC. Hope was just up the highway from us and this was one of the first movies in a long line being filmed in BC. I remember how we all were annoyed that they always portrayed it as being some part of the US.

[@hrodriguez112]

This was a metaphor for policy brutality and zero experience on descalation. Rambo just wanted to get a sandwich and the cop quickly escalated the situation to where Rambo burned the town down.

[@KNIGHTJUMPS]

The cops still do it every day in every city across the Divided States.

[@daiton-jon-f8179]

It played for many months at the local theater complex in Perth Australia everyone came to see it.

[@TellySavalas-or5hf]

Stallone must make a Vietnam era prequel about Rambo.

[@danjoy7385]

In many ways these movies still motivate me

[@Persiatic]

More than a movie ❤

This was a Man who' Life was very damage by the war but when came back to the united state He's turns on it also a person who was torchert and really Lost but very strong with weapons high deadly weapons from guns mixed with knifes And bow and arrow

[@JojoChampion]

Timeless movie.

[@TonyMarony73]

My favourite movie.

[@johnmc6155]

Brian Dennehy has never done a behind the scenes for this film. Im surprised. Has anyone seen him do any promo for this film at all ??

[@sandradean-nl4cm]

Remember reading the book .and i thought this would make a great film.and it did.

[@plissken2156]

The movie softened the violence considerably. The book was way more brutal. If they ever decide to reboot this franchise, they should make this first chapter as a horror that sticks closer to the feel of the novel.

[@gshockbabe6144]

A classic movie that lets us know that veterans like John Rambo ,despite being heroes,are trated like dangerous animals,even when they do nothing wrong and just want to be left alone to live out their lives.The real tragedy here is ,people with PTST disorder,no matter what the cause,continue to be failed by a corrupt society that care more for drug addicts and alcoholics because they think they can cure them more than can cure PTSD.

[@brubeck1]

1 bit i never understood being from the uk , when he first enters the town the cop says "wearing that jacket with that flag on will get you into troble" but later the cops wear the same flag on their jackets . never got that.

[@Rosebudbublegum]

Sylvester Stallone, aka 'Rambo,' sat out Vietnam from 1965-67 teaching girls' PE at a Swiss school, before coming back to the US to get a deferment before ultimately flunking a draft board physical

I am Japanese. The title when released in Japan was "Rambo". Japanese people do not understand the meaning and nuances of the English phrase "FIRST BLOOD." What does "FIRST BLOOD" mean in America?This first edition is my favorite Rambo. from Japan

[@1pcfred]

Drawing first blood means you scored first. Which doesn't really fit with the overall theme of the movie. But it is still a cool title.

[@MaichaelTein-sn6kz]

Yeah

[@stevemason5173]

An outstanding movie all the way, but that Viet Nam war was a joke and a slap in the face and kick in the ass to every young American soldier who was shipped over there. I never understood the phrase "Fighting for our country" in that war. North Viet Nam wasn't attacking America or killing Americans. Nothing like Hitler and Japan attacking every country on Earth. They were trying to get their country organized in a way American hot shots didn't agree with. Well, here we are over 50 years later after after loosing the war and needlessly costing hundreds of thousands lives and all seems well today. WTF?????... American hot shots should have kept their noses in their own business!!!
