RAMBO FIRST BLOOD (1982) FIRST TIME WATCH | TWO BROTHERS THAT LOVE ACTION MOVIES REACT AND REVIEW

[@RonnieG]

Great reaction. If someone hasn't mentioned it already stallone insisted on doing his own stunts. He broke ribs hitting the trees on the cliff jump scene. Filming was temporarily stalled.

[@90schick]

Demolition Man!!!! But anyone ones you guys do will probably be great!!!

[@Slickmovies]

I love this movie so much, I grew up with these movies, this and rocky were my favorites❤.

[@AJ80]

Me too brother.... Great time to be a kid....

[@Freakingslasher]

Greatest Stallone Film after Rocky.

[@jjsdad4952]

Never thought about it but damn, think I have to agree. I’d put this and Rocky III neck and neck.

[@SimoExMachina2]

The movie does contain subtle hints about why the Sheriff disliked Rambo. His office has some props to show he himself was a veteran of the Korean war, which the public had already forgotten when the Vietnam war took all the attention. He felt he was part of a forgotten generation and that the war he bled in, meant nothing, while Vietnam war was on the lips of everyone. His hatred really did stem from something as petty as that.

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

Sometimes too subtle for those who watch for the first time, or are not vey observant. It does a much better job in the book this film is based on (or so I've heard, I haven't read it myself TBH), in explaining the thoughts of the Sheriff and his hate towards Rambo.

[@lajuaniarice2105]

Great Reaction Guys!! Another Excellent movie starring Sly is an overlooked Gem!! No one has reacted to it yet. Its the 1981 movie Nighthawks!! Also starring Rutger Hauer and Billy Dee Williamds!! I KNOW you guys would enjoy it! 👍🏾

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

I just bought it on blu ray it is 100% coming

[@Freakingslasher]

@@DrunkDadsWatch oh please do that soon

[@lajuaniarice2105]

Yayyyyy!!!! Lolol Sooo looking forward to watching with you guys! Keep up the great reactions!!! 😁

[@jjsdad4952]

I grew up on Roosevelt Island…the tramway scene. I was 9 and remember seeing the helicopters filming the tram. Also…Sly actually signed a brown paper bag of all things for me. I might’ve had that signature for a half hour 🤷🏼‍♂️. Anyhoo…agree, great flick.

[@JohnGregory7979]

Hope you guys continue the franchise, keep up the good work.

[@Prideordie4life]

Let’s Goooooo!!!!!!!

[@karimhicks8376]

My father was an Army veteran, from Vietnam. He was a TUNNEL RAT, due to his short stature. When he came back to the states, my mom said he was treated horribly, by his own country men. May we honor or veterans, past & present. For freedom is NOT free.

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

What other Stallone Movies should we Watch? Let us know down below.

[@CodyRapada]

Any Rocky Movie, Tango and Cash, Cliffhanger, do them all lol

[@ElunedLaine]

Demolition Man is fun

[@StarShipGray]

A bit of a whacky choice but you should react to MASH. It was Sly’s first on screen appearance. He plays a foreign soldier getting a meal in the mess hall.

[@jimmyzee7040]

The Expendables , 1 and 2 are classic and 3, with Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jet Li , Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Antonia Banderas, Rhonda Rousey, Mel Gibson and Mickey Rourke and Jean Claude Van Damme.

[@djh2367]

Lock Up, Daylight, Cop Land, Demolition man, cliffhanger, the rest of the Rambos and Rocky's

[@jjsdad4952]

No one is ever prepared for how good this movie is.

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

11:57 You are correct, that was a real reaction. He broke a rib on that branch.

[@StarShipGray]

The movie is vastly different from the book, but it’s such a better story. In the novel Rambo is almost completely unsympathetic and you feel genuinely bad for the police. Rambo kills them all after honestly bringing his arrest on himself.

[@l.piloto7964]

The M249 Squad Assault Weapon (SAW) replaced the M60 that Rambo took out of back of truck in the 80's. The SAW is lighter and has less jams.

[@darthroden]

You know between Colonel Trautman telling the Sheriff to get a "good supply of body bags" and Tommy in The Karate Kid yelling "Get him a body bag!" those body bags were quite popular in the 80s.

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

So true lol

[@peterschairer488]

IMO Rambo's monologue at the end is one of the best in movie history.

[@MrBryanwithay]

Having been a student of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, our instructors would tell us they are not looking for Rambos (lone wolf types). With that being said, I love the movie!

[@peterschairer488]

Brian Dennehy also played an MP in an episode of M*A*S*H. I don't think his character had a name but it would be funny(weird) if it was Teasle.

[@Paul77ozee]

I think the reason Teal and Goult pic on Rambo was because in the book they were Korean War veterans and looked down on Vietnam soldiers.

[@timbrown5720]

Saw shoots 5.56mm M 60 is a man's gun 308cal.

[@bobsylvester88]

Dennehey was also the evil sheriff in the western ‘Silverado’.

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

Silverado is a fantastic film with an amazing all-star cast.

[@timbrown5720]

Probably that fire hose is coming off the main line which is being fed by that icy mountain snow peak

[@shanepye7078]

In the book it’s based on, the colonel shoots Rambo after his break down because in the decade it was written, there wasn’t really a way to “fix” him.

[@bobsylvester88]

This is one of my favorite movies and you guys see why.

[@Sam_of_Anarchy92]

i have two of the knives from two of the rambo movie's

[@AniwayasSong]

Anyone that likes the movie, should really read the book. Vastly different ending (That makes far more sense), but aside from that, the two match nicely! Anyone claiming Sly Stallone can't 'Act' has NEVER seen the ending of this movie! That heart-wrenching monologue still sends chills up-and-down my spine! All because some as*hole stuffed into a LEO costume didn't let a Veteran enjoy a meal before moving-on... You'd think today's Govt. Mobsters would've learned a thing or two by now (ie Since the Vietnam years).

[@RogerThatImages]

This is a great Christmas movie... Just like Die Hard. 😜😜

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

Totally agree lol

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

That monologue at the end breaks me. It's so well acted and comes from a real place. We forget how badly we treated veterans as they were coming back from 'Nam, and what they were going through. That monologue at the end summed it up perfectly. The ending was altered as well. Based on a novel by the same name (First Blood), this film made a couple of minor/major alterations to the plot. First was the fact that in the film Rambo doesn't kill anyone, he only wounds to incapacitate them. Yes the one deputy, Galt, dies. But let's face it, it's his own damn fault he died. He was so into the thought he could just kill they guy and it was perfectly legal he removed his safety belt, in turbulent winds, in a small helicopter, and when the pilot got startled and shook the helo it caused the deputy to fall. His fall was his own fault for not wearing his safety equipment. The second change was when they tested the film the ending got a bad reaction when Rambo deleted himself. They changed it to where he walks out under arrest instead. It was much better received after that change, and it left the ending open for possible sequels. Which did in fact come later. This first film is a serious look into the PTSD, and poor treatment, that Vietnam veterans face(d). The sequels are all typical action film fare.

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

Thanks you for all that info, well I’m happy in the end he didn’t die, I agree the sequels become something else but they are still popcorn fun. The original was more a well thought out story of PTSD and that’s what makes it great. Really appreciate all your comments, keep watching I love your info -Rick

[@benprewitt4600]

I appreciate you guys keeping in the monologue. I did a tour in Afghanistan and I'm lucky: apart from a couple times pumping my brakes in the road because I think a plastic bag is an IED, I got through it pretty good. But I know folks who didn't, and often it's the toughest folks. Because they don't know how to bend in the wind, they just crack. Not saying it's a bad thing: in the field, they're the best ones. But there's no cureall for that kind of trauma... ...sorry for the rambling rant, but I just wanted to thank you for keeping it in. Some reactors don't do it because it completely redefines the film. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us!

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

Thank you so much for that and especially for your service hope you stay with us

[@crusher1980]

"No dogs were harmed in this movie, they are just sleeping" :P. You should also watch "The Game" and "Shutter Island" both good movies with twists, will keep you guessing until the end.

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

We have seen them both and love them

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

Google and see who rejects any bills or laws for any type of help for veterans. The answer may surprise you.

[@StarShipGray]

I’d sell my soul to watch you guys react to John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982).

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

I have seen it and so has Chris but Billy and Eddie have not…. It is coming. It is one of my favorite movies and maybe my favorite horror movie of all time.-Rick

[@skykn1ght78]

Love the reaction. When I saw this as a kid the ending was lost on me. I just felt uncomfortable. As an adult though, I say it’s absolutely incredible and truly powerful and reminds us about the horrors of war and how we absolutely have to do right by our troops.

[@Paul77ozee]

While we have brave men and women who think of nothing but defending their country. We have corporations and politicians who make billions off war while vets have trouble getting basic benefits.

[@DrunkDadsWatch]

Totally True

[@drcornelius8275]

It's too bad Stallone did so many bad unrealistic movies and then tried doing comedies. He had the chops to really act and was perfect in real life gritty roles. I remember writing him off until I saw Cop Land where he was acting in a real type of situation again.

[@slchance8839]

I agree with you, but also see it from Stallone's point of view. If he tried to be a serious actor, he would just be ANOTHER actor....Like Mark Wahlberg trying to be serious in movies with heavyweights like Anthony Hopkins (Transformers) and Jack Nicholson (Departed). INSTEAD, Stallone took the action hero route and became the third highest paid action star and movie ICON. So the choices are "decently-paid acclaimed actor" or "filthy rich icon with THREE franchises." (Rocky, Rambo, and Expendables) I'd pick the second one. Hopkins and Nicholson dont even have any franchises.

You should read the novel or listen to it on audible. You'd be amazed at how different the movie is from the book, especially the ending. And the book is REALLY good, not saying one is better than the other but there's parts that sound like a horror story.
