FIRST BLOOD Behind The Scenes #3 (1982) Action, Sylvester Stallone, Rambo

[@dannymckenna9516]

Perfect example how an action film should be made...

[@stevewhitaker1705]

One of the best films ever made

[@danaluther2839]

I was 12 when this movie came out. I had never went to the movies with my father. Dropped off picked up. My father took me and my brother to see that movie,he is a Vietnam Vet. I believe that is the first time I ever saw my father cry. True story. I'm a Desert Storm vet. That is a day I will never forget 😢😢😢

[@MultiBazilbrush]

The first and best of the Rambo films. Still one of my favourite, Stallone films.

[@MrMaloukas09]

Same here. Brings me back to when I was 12 years old. First blood was something else 🙂

[@garbancitolentejas486]

The only Rambo film is a Film

[@eddarby469]

The others pale by comparison. So much of this film hinges on the sheriff violating Rambo's rights. They couldn't play that plot over in a new movie. So they had an epic character and they needed to write a new chapter in his story. But the first chapter they shared with us was so epic. It may have been better if they wrote a chapter from his days in Vietnam with Troutman.

[@DavidM-mb1vx]

Stallone sold the character. Should have been an Oscar nominee. He was great.

[@redwatch1100]

Yeah, his best movie.

[@psychbomb7543]

Absolutely one of the best movies ever made!

[@alainvosselman9960]

I agree. It ages like wine. I always loved it as a kid. I remember having recorded the movie when it played on tv and watching it over and over.. And about a year or two ago i downloaded it and watch it again from time to time. It's like stepping back in time.

He should have won an Oscar for the ending scene imop. Such a great movie.

[@weetak]

Americans may despise the Vietnam veterans then but as a Malaysian, i would be eternally grateful to them for stopping the communists in slaught. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia would have had very different and bitter history if not for these poor guys from USA, South Vietnam, South Korea, Anzacs fighting it out with China backed NVA and Viet Cong

[@subvet2002]

Thank you for that perspective, I've often thought about that too, how some neighboring countries would have faired, had there been no intervention.

[@weetak]

@@subvet2002 you are most welcome. I remember back in the 1970s, as a small kid, the headline of a Malaysian Chinese language newspaper carried a headline "Vietnam's next target in Thailand and Malaysia!" That scared me like hell. I used to scan papers to read about Thailand army fighting off Vietnamese at the Cambodian border - small skirmishes . I remember feeling relief everytime i read the words "Thai forces managed to fight off Vietnamese incursion parties". My sincere thanks to the grunts and gyrernes of 1960s.

[@ckmoore101]

@@skellener He is talking about when they came home in the early 70's. They were indeed despised, led by a very big vocal group, comprised almost totally of the hippie counter culture on the college campus.... you know, give peace a chance, make love, not war.... Those vermin were the ones brainwashed, and hopped up with all kinds of drugs, not bathing, who were spitting on vets returning, calling them baby killers. Have you not seen a single movie from the late 60's early 70's?

[@QRS666]

He should have died as in the book. That is what makes the book so damn good actually. No stupid hero stuff. Just reallity. That is what makes an allready great move even better. Still love the movie! But the ending nah..(I had read the book before)

[@pdrey100]

Just because it was in the book doesn't mean it will work in the film. The test audiences hated the death ending. He doesn't kill anyone in the film. If he were unhinged to the point of killing everything that moved, then the death ending would make sense.

[@QRS666]

@@pdrey100 Just because the test audience did not like it does not make it a good ending (That is all about the money and risk..). Just wanting the standard happy ending etc. Everything is not john w and riding into the sunset etc. The book is way more realistic and many of us like that. And yes it would have (also) made a great movie. Probably even better as I stated above. But hery, that is just my 2 cents.

I’m sure sequels was foremost on everybody’s minds concerning the death of Rambo.

[@popeyethesailorman75]

The Best Sly Movie apart from Rocky.

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

This rambo movie was great, 2 and 3 were imo dumb,, he turned his character into a comic book character , running through the jungle flexing his pecs, getting shot at by the enemy wide open amd he never gets hit but Rambo kills everybody,, it got too silly in 2 and 3

[@Skoora]

They couldn’t kill him because that’s not the movie they had made. If they had stayed more true to the book to where he killed people it might have played better that he died…but Stallone was just too much an icon of the underdog from Rocky at that time, it just wasn’t probable they could pull it off.

[@joedude4822]

Ok Robert L jump...

[@alainvosselman9960]

It's so sad that the follow up movies never got the proper attention and turned out to be like a cow set up to be milked to the last drop. Although i like all Rambo movies, for they all take on subject matter that is rooted in reality and the character of Rambo was still played well but perhaps the over the top feel to it ruined it and made them look more like just ordinary action flicks with a hero that just can't die.

[@NeverGiddy]

PLOT: A veteran Green Beret is forced by a cruel Sheriff and his deputies to flee into the mountains and wage an escalating one-man war against his pursuers. ACTUAL PLOT: A mentally disturbed veteran Green Beret, who can't tell the difference between a city in the Pacific Northwest in 1982 and Vietnam in 1972, chooses to endanger innocent lives, assaults and cause the deaths of local law enforcement because his feelings got hurt.

[@SteveNcube]

Just go away coz you're mentally unsure of yourself, here in Africa we salute our hero Jonh Rambo.

[@eddarby469]

"... feelings got hurt"? They tried to deny him the rights due a citizen because he fought in a war at the direction of Congress and The President. Then they assaulted him because THEIR feelings got hurt. Then they tried to take his life. We see Rambo very differently.

[@NeverGiddy]

@@eddarby469 - They denied him rights due a citizen because he fought in a war at the direction of Congress and The President. Our opinions due differ. Here is a list of crimes Rambo committed before Teasle and his deputies ever learned that Rambo was a Viet Nam war veteran: Failure to obey the commands of a law enforcement officer; carrying a concealed weapon; assault on a police officer; assault on multiple police officers causing bodily injury; assault on a teenager, resulting in injury; grand theft of the teenager's motorcycle; flight; reckless endangerment by initiating a high speed chase; death of Deputy Gault and reckless endangerment of the helicopter pilot. Until, while standing over Gault's body and hearing the message over the radio, all of the action's of the police were in direct response to Rambo's conduct and had nothing to due with any military service he may have had. Rambo, when he turned back toward's Hope, began a series of events that he escalated himself. Teasle instantly identified Rambo as a potential threat to his town and Rambo spent the rest of the movie proving Teasle was right. Teasle saw Rambo as a vagrancy threat that could affect the good order of the town. He didn't realize, he couldn't have known, just how mentally unbalanced John Rambo was. Teasle is the hero of this movie, Rambo the villain. Rambo's back story doesn't excuse his conduct. Rambo should have died at the end of this movie.

[@davidvaninwagen9391]

Apparently you didn’t watch the movie. Unjustly detained, then arrested, beaten in his holding cell, and blasted with a fire hose, then he finally loses it when they attempt to shave him with a straight razor before his court appearance. It’s no wonder he broke out of there. If it had happened today in real life, regardless of his response, the jail cell cameras would ensure nearly all the officers would’ve been canned for their actions. Oh, and one final thing, he didn’t cause the death of any officer. The only officer that died was because he unfastened his safety belt in the helicopter while trying to murder him.

[@NeverGiddy]

@@davidvaninwagen9391 - He was offered a ride by Sheriff Teasle and voluntarily went with him. Teasle drove him to the edge of town. He wanted him to leave. When Rambo walked back towards the town, he ignored the commands of a police officer and then resisted him. That's when Teasle pulled his gun. He finds a large hunting knife concealed on Rambo's body and arrests him. That arrest is not unlawful. He chose not to cooperate with police while being finger printed, and firmly grabs one of the police officers (Mitch) when his dog tag is being checked. That qualifies as assault. Gault should have hit him across the head with his night stick right then rather than threaten him. When Teasle was chasing Rambo with his patrol car, if he had hit a pedestrian and killed them, the death of that pedestrian would have been charged to Rambo, since any death that occurs as the result of a felony is charged to the perpetrator of that felony. The entire situation was created by Rambo. He is guilty of multiple felonies. Gault died during that pursuit, a pursuit that Rambo is directly responsible for. He would have been charged for the death of Art Gault, especially since his death was a direct result of Rambo's attack on the helicopter. I'm not defending Gault's actions in the movie, but his escalation is a direct result of Rambo's unwillingness to cooperate and his attack on Mitch. Bottom line, Rambo, after he checks Gault's body, could have just left, disappeared into the country. Rambo chose to stay and punish them, then punish the town. He needed a bullet in his head at the end of the movie. Apparently, I did watch the movie, I just watched it from a law and order perspective. I'll take the law and order Sheriff's position over the mentally deranged lunatic's position every day of the week. Hope looked like a nice place to live. I'll bet you don't find people shitting on the sidewalks there.
