Google him and read his Wikipedia,,,, be prepared to be blown away by what that guy did,, he was a legit badass, check it out bro

[@GustavGans-v5u]

Sylvester Stallone is the biggest actor of Hollywood and with this movie he became my childhood hero.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

The cast of this movie was absolutely gold. Every single character was a home run. From the deputies to the National Guardsman to the main stars, all were just like I would imagine in real life. And the media saying dumb shit like "...only their law enforcement training saved them..." was a nice touch

[@fayremead]

Vancouver TV reporter Mike Winlaw essentially played himself.

This movie redefined action movies along with sly for the next 2 decades solidly. Sly is the champion of the action movie hero as far as i,m concerned. Many followed for sure but after he blazed the path for others to follow. Then kept uppung it. The man is an absolute legend along with this movie and also the book even though they're near two different creatures.

[@robertpolanco1973]

@barrycrosby8602 - That depends on which films were "overacted unrealistic crap" in any period of time and which ones were not. After all, you shouldn't just assume that all films were "overacted unrealistic crap" anyway.

[@Jeff-sp7bg]

Hes right all films now are overacted pieces of cgi garbage

[@kentparsons7772]

[@rallycorsa1600]

My all time favourite film, I have seen it a hundred times. I remember reading a newspaper article many years ago talking about the awful violence and many deaths, it was obviously written by someone who had not seen the movie, Rambo does not kill a single person in this film.

[@khriscaplinger4506]

The novel first blood was a very dark story if it would have been made as it was written by David Morrill it would have been a horrible movie and probably would have never been shown ever again after it's release but Sly Stallone knows how to make a great movie and rewrote it and it became a one of the greatest movies ever but they did do a version like David Morrill wrote and if they were going to use that Stallone wanted to buy back the negative and burn it so it would never be seen again, Kirk Douglas was a great actor but I believe it's best that he didn't do it and Richard creena took the role of tratman, Richard creena was best for the role

[@snelgrave101]

David morrell, it is a complely different novel for sure, glad sly had the vision to change it up and say "I'm not dying in this" 👍 classic 80s action movies won't be beaten EVER, golden age of action movies, no messaging, no identity politics, just balls to the wall action that we all loved to see.

[@Del-Canada]

This is my most watched movie of all time.

[@ReubenKincaidJr]

Great movie!

[@apollo-so5yj]

I remember the first time watching First Blood when I was young and starting the Army cadets. This movie really captured me, it was an all time favorite. A powerful albeit obscure reminder of this movie for me, was listening to the acoustic guitar mid section of the Ozzy Osbourne song Diary of a Madman, which had that army sounding marching drum. It's weird how some music evokes the feelings and images of certain periods of time in our lives.

[@nikhil8892]

[@Johny40Se7en]

SUCH a timeless gem of a film! And have to say, I'm glad they sent Kurt Douglas packing 😅😝 Fully agree with Sylvester Stallone what he said about the veterans, the ending needed sensitivity and meaning, and he definitely portrayed that with that iconic ending performance. It's horrible, powerful and beautiful in such a small amount of time. Also, for those who've played the Metal Gear Solid games, isn't it awesome how much the colonel resembles Richard Crenna's Trautman 🙂

[@rollsroyce1978]

When I was young I was interested in the character Rambo. But as I got older, I became interested in the role of Col. Trautman. Rambo seemed like a child to me and Trautman like an adult. Who puts everything in order.
