I can’t believe some people say Stallone’s acting is limited to action roles. There’s quite a lot of drama in this film mixed with the action, and he kills it. Where did he draw those emotions from in that last scene with Richard Crenna?
I agree with you, Esosa Ighodaro. I have said for a long time that Stallone is a superb actor. When I think of other action-type actors I can not name a single one who comes even close to Sly when it comes to bringing emotion to the surface.
@@user-tb9lx1oz9n Yeah. I watched First Blood as a child with my mother the year after it came out. No internet to fact check anything then, so my mom made up her mind that Sly had actually served in Vietnam and suffered ptsd 😄
..WE NEED RAMBO NOW...What is HUMAN FLESH CAPSULE?. Why do Chinese eat UYGHUR Human Flesh Capsules?. What is UYGHUR HALAL ORGANS?. Xi Jinping and all members of CCP central committee must face Nuremburg Style Justice and Execution for China's Uyghur Genocide, Tibetan Genocide, Manchurian Genocide, Yellow Uyghur Gansu Genocide, Kazakh Aksay Genocide and extermination of non-Chinese ethnic groups in war criminal China's army unlawfully occupied Vast Uyghuristan (Eastern Turkestan), Tibet, Manchuria, Yellow Uyghur Gansu, Kazakh Aksay, Koknoor, Guangxi Zhuang region,Yunnan and non-Chinese territories. There was no "CHINA" such country in world history. Communist Soviet Russia created CCP in 1921. CCP created China on 1 October 1949. Since then war criminal China's army unlawfully invaded into Vast Eastern Turkestan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, Manchuria, Yellow Uyghur Gansu, Kazakh Aksay, Koknoor, Guangxi Zhuang Region, Yunnan, Ningxia Hui region and other territories. In fact in real world there is no such thing "Chinese ethnic group, Chinese race, Chinese DNA, Chinese spoken language, Chinese written language, Chinese culture, Chinese medicine, Chinese civilization ...". Since 1956, China have Created Fictional "Chinese civilization" and Fictional "Han-Chinese" by unlawfully mixed up the cultures of many totally different nations on the plains of Yellow River, YANGTZE RIVER, shores of Pacific ocean, East Asia, etc. From 1956, CCP has adopted Mandarin Language as the language of CCP. Mandarin language is not Chinese language. Mandarin language is the language of the Mandarin / MANCHU /EASTERN TÜRKs. Cantonese is not Chinese language. Cantonese is the language of Cantone people. In China, Han-Chinese are CCP. Han-Chinese are Chinese government. Han-Chinese are Chinese army. They are one. Han-Chinese are the leaders of everything. All Han-Chinese are RECENT illegal invaders, war criminals and TERRORISTS in war criminal China's army unlawfully occupied Vast Eastern Turkestan, Tibet and all non Chinese territories. In fact Han-Chinese do not belong to Eastern Turkestan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, Manchuria, Yellow Uyghur Karasu (aka Gansu), Koknoor (aka Qinghai), Kazakh Aksay. All terrorists are 100 Percent Han-Chinese in China unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan, Tibet and non Chinese territories. In fact The world's biggest single issue in 2022 is China's Uyghur Genocide in war criminal China's army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation. We have worked as Foreign Experts for China's government for over 20 years. We are masters of Mandarin language. We are experts of China. We travelled all over China. We travelled all over war criminal China's army unlawfully occupied Ten Countries: UYGHURISTAN (Eastern Turkestan), Tibet, Southern Mongolia, Manchuria, Yellow Uyghur Karasu (aka Gansu after 1952), Kazakh Aksay, Koknoor (aka Qinghai after 1952), Ningxia Hui Republic, Guangxi Zhuang Region, Yunnan, Cantonia. China's Uyghur Genocide is going on in war criminal Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur-Turk Nation. Because East Turkestan is very rich in all kinds of natural resources, naturally very diverse and vast. Chinese wanted to totally exterminate Uyghur Nation and Chinese wanted to take over Eastern Turkestan from Uyghur Nation. Uyghurs DO NOT LIVE IN CHINA in East Asia. Uyghurs live in own Natural Territory Eastern Turkestan in Central Asia. Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation is not "Xinjiang" of China. Uyghur Nation is not "Ethnic minority of China ". Uyghur Nation is not "Chinese Muslims ". Uyghur Nation has nothing to do with Han-Chinese and China. China is a country in far East of Asia. East Turkestan is a country in Central Asia. The world's second biggest Gobi Desert has totally isolated Eastern Turkestan in Far West and China in Far East of Asia. East Turkestan has nothing to do with Han-Chinese. Size of Eastern Turkestan is bigger than the combination of Europe's biggest Four Countries - Germany, France, Britain and Italy. East Turkestan is the world's biggest producer of rare earth materials, uranium, jade, gold, silver, cotton, tomatoes, garlic, silk, cashmere, green, raisins, Grapes, wool, leather, meat, marble, etc. East Turkestan is one of the world's biggest producer of coal, salt, petrol, natural gas, mika, and many others. Uyghur Nation was the Riches Nation in the world before China's illegal invasion into Eastern Turkestan on 20 October 1949. China has been robbing Trillions of US dollars of energy, food, raw materials, uranium, rare earth materials, Jade, gold, fresh bottled water, fresh bottled air, Uyghur Organs, Uyghur blood, Uyghur flesh, and many goods from Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation. Poor China, over 1.4 Billion hungry Chinese and millions of junk factories in China cannot survive without Robbing TRILLIONS of US dollars of natural resources from natural resources extremely rich, naturally very diverse and vast Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation. Since late 2016 China unlawfully cut off all telephone connections, Internet connections, postal services and travel for all Uyghurs in between Eastern Turkestan and rest of the world. China has kicked out all foreigners from East Turkestan of Uyghur-Turk Nation and China DO NOT ISSUE VISA FOR FOREIGNERS TO TRAVEL TO EASTERN TURKESTAN. China do not let foreigners with China's Visa to travel to East Turkestan to meet up with Uyghurs without Han-Chinese state agents under strict surveillance. Only China paid foreign criminals with Han-Chinese State security agents together go to Eastern Turkestan to make propaganda videos for Chinese government to cover up China's Uyghur Genocide. Even China paid foreign criminals cannot travel to Eastern Turkestan to meet up with Uyghurs without Han-Chinese state agents under strict surveillance. All pictures and videos are strictly controlled by Chinese government. All "HAPPY UYGHUR VIDEOS " on RU-vid are "Made in China" by China' state security agents with China paid foreign criminals. China do not let Uyghurs from Eastern Turkestan freely travel to China. China do not let Uyghurs from Eastern Turkestan to travel to any other countries. China do not let Uyghurs from other countries to go to Eastern Turkestan to meet up with their parents and family China do not let Uyghurs escape from East Turkestan to other countries. Many Uyghurs are shot dead on the way escape from East Turkestan to other countries. Uyghurs cannot be refugees in neighbouring Pakistan. China do not let foreigner to talk to Uyghurs without Han-Chinese state security agents in Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan. Strict SURVELANCE and strict Family planning are only applied to Uyghur Nation in Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan. Chinese illegal invaders have no family planning in Eastern Turkestan. War criminal China has been unlawfully transferring millions of own Han-Chinese from extremely poor Chinese villages in China to Eastern Turkestan, Tibet and all non Chinese territories to destroy local people. War Criminal Chinese government and China paid foreign criminals are producing disinformation campaign Worldwide to cover up China's Uyghur Genocide, China's Uyghur Organ Harvesting, China's Uyghur Concentration mass murder camps, China's crime against humanity, China's war crime, China's erase Uyghur Nation in Chinese army unlawfully occupied East Turkestan of Uyghur Nation. Many over 80 years old Uyghurs are locked up in "China's Uyghur Re-education mass murder camps" in Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan. Many Uyghur children are locked up in " China's Uyghur Concentration Re-education camps " in Chinese army unlawfully occupied Eastern Turkestan. China did not lock up Han-Chinese Terrorists in "China's Re-education camps " in Eastern Turkestan. Since 1964, War criminal China Tested 46 Nuclear Bombs on Defenceless Uyghur Civilians in Chinese army unlawfully occupied East Turkestan of Uyghur Nation. China's Uyghur Forced Sterilisation, Forced Abortion and Organ Harvesting industry are booming. China do not let Uyghurs access Internet, smart phone, international phone call and postal services. CHINA UNLAWFULLY CUT OFF ALL TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS, INTERNET CONNECTIONS, POSTAL SERVICES AND TRAVEL FOR ALL UYGHURS IN BETWEEN UYGHUR EAST TURKESTAN AND REST OF THE WORLD. From 2015, China do not issue Tourist Visa for foreigners to travel to Eastern Turkestan. China has exterminated all Uyghurs who has spoken with foreign tourists in Eastern Turkestan in the past. China do not let Uyghurs to talk to Foreigners without Han-Chinese state security agents in Eastern Turkestan. China do net let Journalists from democratic Countries to go to Eastern Turkestan to meet up with Uyghurs without Han-Chinese state agents. China do not let UN officials to go to Eastern Turkestan to meet up with Uyghurs without Han-Chinese state agents. China's disinformation campaign Worldwide to cover up China's Uyghur Genocide are going on in all countries. China has bribed all top leaders of all Muslim countries including PALESTINE, OIC, ISIS, Al qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Taliban. Those ISLAMIC TERRORISTS and islamic terrorist organisations have been officially SUPPORTING terrorist CHINA'S UYGHUR GENOCIDES IN WAR CRIMINAL CHINA'S ARMY UNLAWFULLY OCCUPIED EASTERN TURKESTAN OF UYGHUR NATION. Except Turkey, Albania and Bosnia, All Muslim countries including PALESTINE have UNLAWFULLY supported China's Uyghur Genocide at the UN HRC assembly. China paid them. Independence and Self Governing for Eastern Turkestan, Tibet, Southern MONGOLIA,Taiwan, Hong Kong ..v....
My oldest brother served in Vietnam "Army" Green Beret Special Forces, shot 3 times, cut, stabbed, & just plain tortured, I can say without a doubt the brother that went to Vietnam isn't the same brother that came back. He recently passed away in 2020 from complications from agent orange.
@@kilocasanova6838 Unfortunately 1/3 of the eligible voters, elected Biden and the Ultra MAD group, making America what it is today, Anti-American. So when we talk about Americans, it is all Americans, Black Lives don´t matter. Even the dead that voted for Biden hate America and love the Ultra MAD group. (MAD - Make America Destroyed).
Stallone should have won the Oscar for his portrayal of Rambo. Watching it 40 years after I first saw it back in 1982, it is better than I remember it, and Stallone's acting is superb. They just don't make movies like that anymore.
Probably one of the best roles Stallone did, that they don't make movies like that anymore is what I credit that for; the 90's and beyond saw too many explosions and special effects and far less quality acting...
It use to be on every Saturday afternoon along with all the Rocky movies. I havent seen them on tv in awhile. Seems weird but kinda fitting the way things are going in the country.
This movie has stuck with me for over 40 years now, since I saw it in 1982! The story, the action, the characters were all superbly acted. This movie stands the test of time!
I did not like it. M60s fire 200 round belts (100 rounds less than today's Biden´s 300 round detachable box magazine AR semi-automatic civilian ghost guns coming across the US southern border). Also it can only fire continuously for about 10 minutes without having to change the barrel. This movie started that crazy image that M60 had continuous fed belts with unlimited ammo and auto-cooling barrels.
You have to turn off that part of your mind because you’ll go crazy,I’ve had to do it myself. When someone has a .38 or .357 in a movie and shoots 9 times before reloading I would get annoyed but it happens so often in movies I’ve learned to ignore it. Same think with Die Hard,you know how quickly an MP5 runs out but I never see them load another mag
🇧🇷 In 70's and 80's there was just a good script and one camera, no special effects, no cables, or they were good or not! In that time, people literally stoped to do their stuffs to sit down in front a tv and watch this!👊🏾
@JakartaGiantRider Those boys were drafted, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Uncle Sam needed them to serve their country, that's all they were told. So yes, both parties were victims.
@JakartaGiantRider In war there are no winners only the survivors. What the vietnamese (both north and south) went through was atrocious. But also what the U.S vets went through as well. Not a single person alive today who went through that would say it was all sunshine and rainbows. The Vietnam lands were scorched. Countless innocents died. Soldiers who were son's, father's, and brother's lost their lives. The same goes for US vets. And then those vets returned to a country that looked on them with disgust. They felt like their sacrifices were all for nothing. War is never the answer.
Me and a friend went to see this when it came out in 1982. The theater was packed and when everybody was exiting the theater it was amazing to hear the reactions. Nobody expected it to be that good but it was.
The whole movie was just stuffing for that last bit with John and Trapman. "I wanna go home Johnny. I wanna drive my Chevy" " You can't coz I can't find your legs." That was the best bit of acting out of his whole time as a film star. Frigging amazing.
100%. That scene was the whole point and definition of film's message. Shell-shock, I don't know where I am, recurring nightmares, I wanna go home. Good exposure of the problem to people who never understood.
I watched it with my mom in ‘83. I was only 13 then but it sure moved me. Later my mom said she read somewhere that a lot of ptsd addled Vietnam vets applauded the movie, something like “finally someone understands”. We were in Nigeria at the time so I don’t know if she made it up 🙂
4:41 Only Richard Crenna could deliver Sam Troutman's lines with such perfection. "I don't think you understand: I didn't come here to Rescue Rambo from you..."
Johnny showed massive restraint dealing with those crooked cops coming after him in the bushland. Especially after the trio including the sheriff threatened and shot towards him The way I saw it was that johnny Rambo was just defending himself
I was a teen when this movie came out, Love all the Rambo movies, Stallone one of the best. Rambo and 1980 metal, you could not go wrong, This was a time when men were men, Being a teen in the 80' was the best time out of any generation, party, metal, and Rambo John J. What a time it was. Glad to been there. I throw a little Red Dawn both movies in for good measure.
@@michaelchevreaux7780 I know. That's why most movies today are not as good. The DC comic, and Marvel movies are all computer generated. Even the Incredible Hulk series in the 70s was better than today's.
He fell from lower part of cliff then shown onscreen but camera angle made it look he fell higher. Stallone did get injured as used trees to stop his fall and his screams were real as was in real pain when hit trees and broke a rib. He broke actor and stuntman Alf Humphreys (Deputy Lester) nose for real to during his escape scene from the jail.
That last scene was so powerful. A man capable of so much but struggling so hard mentally. It really doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. This one actually made you think and empathize instead of the typical action movie stereotypes.
Also, never has a movie franchise gotten so off-track with its sequels. The rest, as amusing as they are to me as an eternal teenager, they are actually an insult to this wonderful first movie.
This is actually one of the sadest action movies ever tbh. Maybe if the Vietnam Vet's were treated with respect and given the help they deserved, movies like this wouldn't need to exist? Yes!
That last scene is some of the finest acting from Stallone ,that was real emotion ,you can feel it ,I don't think I would ever not watch this movie whenever I get the chance
🇿🇦 This reminds me when I was still married to my deceased husband. We would go somewhere in our car and his driving and a argument started that we fight while driving and while our car was moving, I opened the door and jumped out. Sharon Coetzee.
I am a vietnam era veteran and i can say this is positively the way the sherriffs of lane county treated me . I try to be a good citizen and when i have a problem ive tried to get help from the sherrifs , the sherriff ( and city cops) and judges actually allow and help the people causing the problem , to continue harrassing me .. If the sherrifs are helping the true problem people , then we are left to deal with matters in our way . So when people get hurt , it is actually the sherrifs who are responsable for anyone that gets their ass handed to them .
There's a lot of Great Action Films that have been made. This one almost seems like it could have possibly happened in real life. I worked with a Guy in 1980 & 81 who's Dad was a Doctor. We were making lenses for Eye Glasses together. He used to talk about Downtown Saigon Vietnam. I'm glad to say that he was my buddy.
I hitchhiked everywhere back then, cops were really like that, Brian Dennehy played the 1970's cop to perfection. Hitchhiking was extremely dangerous, many hitchhikers were murdered and or went missing. If a cop drove past you knew he was coming back for you, so i would quickly hide making it look like i had got a lift, after awhile i would find another hitchhiking spot where i could see the cars before they saw me and could hide if i needed to. As i said, hitchhiking was really dangerous. Top movie, it really did reflect the nasty attitude towards hitchhikers back then.
Rambo was trained by Ukrainian special forces from Aerodynamic Operation during the 1960s . The Americans had about 110 CIA agents that were transferred in from that operation to be instructers in the Green Berets during Vietnam. Two of my fathers friends were specials in the MI6 program they saw action during Suez Canal episode in 1956 because they knew three languages fluent and were radio operators.
The shoe shine story is just heartbreaking. As it tells a very true story of how war works. That kid being used as a weapon, the abuse of humanity, the horror when you realize what war really is, thinking you are fighting for the greater good when really you are just an instrument of evil, used and abused for the love in your heart and natural instinct to protect. And that story, most likely made up, is just one of thousands and thousands and thousands of stories like it. On all sides. The people fighting on all sides in all wars, are just as used as abused as the ones we see as 'our allies'.
My dad was a WW2 vet (he was on the 3rd wave at Juno beach on DDay) and one day I brought this video home and we watched it. He cried at that scene like a baby..heartbreaking for sure
“A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke.” This is my signature on a few on my online forums…
One of the most disrespected actors ever!!! Rambo gets watched dozens of times by everyone who has already seen it!!! He should have won several academy awards already!!!
🇧🇷 In 70's and 80's there was just a good script and one camera, no special effects, no cables, or they were good or not! In that time, people literally stoped to do their stuffs to sit down in front a tv and watch this!👊🏾
The last scene with the Col. continues with vets to this day. Our country still doesn't know how to help them with PTSD, and finding their next mission in life as a civilian. We need to do better by them.
Arnie said he came into existence after seeing a person...a hero.. with so many capabilities... Still today it's one and only sly on this earth ❤️❤️❤️.... Not neglecting the aftermath...
i like when he fell from the cliff face he looked like he was trying to maintain a star fish free fall position which would consist with a paratrooper's training , also in the movie he followed certain things that a special forces operator would do running amok , he escaped captivity and E&E'd out of their he took what enemy weapons that he could , he took out a power grid , he cut down their communications , and he assaulted their HQ and captured their fearless leader and lived to tell the tale in the book it was his Co col troutmen who killed him
There was a huge resentment in the US, and other places, of the armed services and Vietnam. It was "too soon" for many and so this movie was pretty much ignored by the US industry. It did win awards in Europe, where it was recogniced as a talking-point about returned services and the difficulties of readjusting to "normal" life, but that meant less than nothing in the US at the time. Here in Australia, Vietnam veterans weren't formally welcomed home until 1987 (15 years after ending our involvement), with an official parade in their honour. It's said (by mostly government sources) that 22.000 veterans marched. Most that I knew or have met since, refused to go, as it was seen as another slap in the face for those 60,000+, mostly conscripts, who served in a "police action" and were refused entry to the RSL (Returned Services League - similar to the American VFW). because their service wasn't in "wartime". Their fathers and uncles and so forth all had heroes welcomes and parades upon their returns from WW1, WW2 or Korea, almost immediately after the declaration of peace. Since then I've served and 'toured' and come home. A few times. Even in this modern and refined age I've been spat upon and had paint thrown at me for being a baby-killer. Some things never go out of fashion. "For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!" Tommy - Rudyard Kipling.
After 40 years, no one knows what really happened to Sheriff Will Teasle after First Blood Part 1. At this point, we can only assume what would happen next, and this is what I think happened. In accordance to Col Samuel Trautman, Teasle’s Abuse in Power cost the whole town of Hope, Washington millions of dollars in damages, as well as numerous medical bills from all the officers & town residents, and extensive damages to all properties & equipment everywhere. In addition, many officers testified against the Vindictive Sheriff for leniency, and even pointed out that Galt recklessly acted on his own actions, which included Attempted Murder & Obstruction of Justice, which ultimately led to his own death, a testimony that was provided by the helicopter pilot & several officers. Overall, Teasle’s own defense was that he felt he was trying to save the town from a “psychopath”, which the jury doesn’t buy, since they heard about Rambo’s experience as a Green Beret & Expert in Guerrilla Warfare, and the fact that he led so many officers & civilians into total panic & fear to the point that the jury saw through his Lies, knowing that he wanted to Kill Rambo out Vengeance for his friend Galt. In the end, he was probably given a plea deal, to either Leave Town, or face Jail Time, and I think Teasle pleaded Not Guilty, because in his Twisted Mind, he get that his actions were just, but the Judge, Jury, Residents, & even his Wife felt otherwise, and in the end, Teasle was convicted of Attempted Murder, Reckless Endangerment, Police Corruption, & Domestic Terrorism, which led him getting 40 Years in Jail, ultimately to the End of his Life. I could only assume that the Town Folk was satisfied with the outcome of the Corrupt & Dishonorable Sheriff Will Teasle’s Verdict, but unfortunately, it didn’t save the town, and most residents moved away after the whole incident, even Teasle’s Wife who filed for Divorce, and the officers who worked under him all either transferred or got new jobs to get away from the PTSD that Teasle’s had given them. Well, that’s probably how I think would’ve happened to a Dirty Cop after all of this. To think this all would’ve been avoided if Teasle would’ve let Rambo get something to eat.
My wife used to work for a couple with 5 kids. The wife had a PHd in Psychology and counseled PTSD soldiers. Some would confess they had thoughts of beheading their wives. PTSD is no joke,
It's not all about training it's about pushing the soldier's until they unlock something. A possession takes over their body and only Sargeants or smart people notice it because they can withstand more damage than most and they heal faster than most Their energy levels are higher and they quench to spill enemy blood.Possessed soldier's can make more destruction on the enemy than any highest training soldier's such as navy seals or green berets.
