Rambo wanted something to eat, all of this could have been avoided if the sheriff took rambo to Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen was right by the corner of the police station.
В 90-х в разрушенной нищей России, где цветной телевизор был не в каждой семье, будучи школьниками, мы увлеченно обсуждали фильмы с участием Сталлоне, Брюса Ли, Чака Норриса, Ван Дама и т.д. Для нас такие фильмы были в диковинку. А фотографии и постеры с этими актерами были просто нарасхват. Не было в то время у нас интернета, сотовых телефонов и планшетов, но об этом времени только самые теплые воспоминания. Как бы я хотел вернуться в то детство м пережить его снова.
Может, эти фильмы для того и делают, чтобы показывать нищим и обездоленым людям? Этим миром правит Дьявол, лжец и убийца. Поэтому Гитлер пришел к власти и много лет оставался лидером державы мирового уровня, а Христа казнили по доносу духовенства за "богохульство" и "бунтарство". Поэтому существует Благая весть о Божьем царстве: Наш Создатель, Иегова бог, назначил царя, Иисуса Христа, который наведет порядок. Даже мертвые будут воскрешены и мы увидим всех, кого потеряли. :-)
In the novel, Teasle really disliked Rambo because he was a Korean war Vet and he believed they were treated worse or forgotten about because of Vietnam vets. This is only indicated in the film when you see Teasle sit in his chair in his office and behind him you can see some war medals including the Purple Heart. Great video
It was a magical time living in the times when Rambo First Blood came out! I was a little boy which woke up early in the morning and played with our VHS player I mostly looked at movies like Rambo First Blood of course and Convoy which were on VHS tapes but now i am lucky i got both movies and more on DVD and Blu Ray! I really don't like how physical Media is dying off and Subscription type of movies like Netflix has taken over because of the Internet! I really love those days of the Tape VHS movies it was really magical! Thanks for making this video Nostalgia Trips!
This was a sad movie. One of the saddest parts was at the beginning when he had learned that his best friend had died. His home was the army and the only friend he had left was his commander.
Hello from Japan Rambo's first movie This is still the best work No matter what I like Stallone's sad expression It's not just an action movie The emotional scars of veterans I think you express it very well.
Greetings from Canada! It was an excellent film, I suggest reading the book as well. Quite a different ending to the film. I heard they tested the book ending to an audience, and it didn't go over well.
I live 30 minutes west from Hope. It’s a cool small town that added a lot of great moody atmosphere to the movie. I was 20 when it was released. Have camped or partied in that town many times. Was around there when it was filmed. A high school friend completely renovated and still owners that movie theatre, now leased to a different operator. He has the old Rambo reels in the projection room. There is a chin up bar on the way up to the projection room that Stallone used to pump himself up between scene shoots. The theatre was used during filming to preview the days filming.
It's always been my dream to make film location videos full time and that dream is fast becoming a reality. I need 1000 subscribers to get into RU-vid's partner program and then these videos can get monetised. Please consider subscribing to help my dream become a reality! More videos from film locations coming soon!
Love this video. I was there 5 May 2023 also from England, must have just missed you. We did most of the same locations, but you missed the famous "H" tree (where Rambo pulls a wheelie while being chased by Teasle), which is still there!! Great place and only learned it was in BC whilst planning to see my cousins, and it happened to be en route!
Wow, I can't believe how many views this video has gotten over the last week. Can somebody please let me know how you came across this video. Its interesting because the first ten months of this video's release it got hardly any views and now it's up to almost 80 thousand! Please don't forget to subscribe to the channel. More videos will be coming. Thanks for watching folks appreciate you all!
Just popped up in my feed. Wasn't searching for movies, Rambo or Stallone etc. But am a big fan of the movie and read the book years ago too. Every chance something in the cookies told the algorithm to feed it. Nice tour vlog though, thanks for making ti.
That's how RU-vid works... But you need to keep on creating content. I live in Vancouver, so maybe that's why your video came to my recommended list. There are tons of movies and series you can show, in this city, in BC, even in Seattle.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="260">4:20</a> it is magical. you're standing in the same spots and seeing the same buildings. it's like standing on the beaches in Normandy.
Thanks for an enjoyable video. I grew up in New Westminster, about 135 km west of Hope, but spent my childhood summers in Kelowna, 239 km to the north-east. This required driving through Hope, where we sometimes stayed the night. My mother would tell me about how she would travel from Kelowna to the coast. First by stern wheeler on Okanagan Lake, then by train, along the Kettle Valley Railroad. It was almost like something out of the wild west. In fact it was. My grandfather was a cattle buyer, who rode a horse, and was armed. Naturally, I was always aware that Rambo was made in Hope, over forty years ago. By that time I had moved to Norway. There, our closest neighbour had a brother living in Hope, and we went there yet again to visit him, and other friends who had fled Greater Vancouver. Despite living more than half my life in Norway, I regard myself as a Cascadian, sometimes referred to as an Ecotopian. I may have been influenced by Rambo, because I always regard Hope as being on the border, placing it as the first outpost in the Empty Quarter, as described in Joel Garreau's The Nine Nations of North America (1981), or a northern extension to the Neutral Zone in Philik K. Dick's novel, The Man in the High Castle (1962), or the Rocky Mountain States as it is called in the television series of the same name.
@@SpaceCattttt ... and what do you think of British Columbia as a name? The Stó:lō lived in the Fraser Valley, including Hope, for at least 8,000 years. They were also the most numerous people well after smallpox, introduced by Europeans, killed 2/3 of them in 1782. Much of the area was referred to as Columbia District from about 1810, although some people referred to it as Oregon Country. That continued until the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The Colony of British Columbia was created in 1858. It became part of Canada in 1871, thirteen years later. Of course, one also has to remember that the Canadian authorities interred Canadians of Japanese ancestry near Hope during World War II. Some of them descendents of Japanese people who had lived in Vancouver since 1860! I find the racism of British Columbia disturbing.
Takk for at du delte historien din. At deres nærmeste nabo i Norge hadde en bror som bodde i Hope, er ganske utrolig. Greetings from Fredrikstad, Norway.
@@Imnottheone79 Fredrikstad? Ja, jeg har en del av min biologisk arv derifra, familien Bratt, utvandret ca. 1630 fra Fredrikstad til Haarlem in Nederland, før de kom til Schenectady i New Amsterdam/ New York.
I’ve driven through Hope hundreds of times and never noticed this before. Thanks for pointing this out; now I won’t be able to ‘not see it’ anymore. Stay awesome Lu!

I so glad Rambo wanted to go see his war buddy, otherwise the amazing chain of events afterwards would’ve never happened. One of my favorite lines from this movie is when he escapes the tunnel and confiscates the army vehicle, he tells the driver don’t look at me look at the road that’s how accidents happen 😂😂
Sad but true how many Veterans were treated after the Vietnam War.Many people hated our service members .Our Korean War Veterans were forgotten and our World War 2 Veterans were our Golden boys.
Just to add to your commentary about the bridge, just in case you weren't aware, the crossing we remember in the movie was just to the left of the new one as your heading out of town, and of you look on the east bank of the river, you can still see the footings...that's all that's left. In no way can the new bridge really be associated with Rambo and the legacy of the film, IMHO. Great video, I like Hope and enjoy stopping by and revisiting some of the locations, fortunately the town hasn't changed that drastically in 40 years.
I've always liked this movie. I adore these mountains, the forest, the river, the atmosphere and the air. And nature is very similar to ours in rainy summer. But it's a little colder on Lake Baikal at other times :)
Rambo was part of my childhood! My dad served, and he had all the Rambo movies. I remember watching them on weekends with my dad. This was an awesome video 👍👍👍
Wooowww!!! Seeing this is going back to the past and makes us nostalgic as we remember beautiful moments from our childhood. Thank you for making these videos of famous film locations that I, like many, will probably never have the chance to visit in person. Greetings!!!
@@Nostalgia_tripsRyan Gosling is Stallones preferred choice to reprise his most iconic role. He has the basset hound droopy eyes, he can get his body in shape surely. I’m hoping and what the fans deserve is a prequel. A young Rambo with his family and his journey into becoming the iconic war hero he eventually became. Watching his Baker Team deployed into Vietnam his capture and ultimately escaping the POW camps. And of course I want to see him receiving that epic first blood knife 🔪 as he heads into the jungles of Vietnam. Love Rambo seen this movie countless times.
The original Rambo was something like 3 hours long and very cheesy bad,Stallone tried to buy back the negatives and destroy them😂 they edited alot of Stallone's dialogue out and Stallone re wrote the books ending keeping John Rambo alive thus paving the way for multiple sequels 😂
Thanks! for doing an updated location for all of us from the gen-x generation you differently went the right time of year to do this, you can differently feel the spirit of that time frame alot better that place is differently on my bucket list of places to visit at some point again thanks!
Back when this came out I was in the Washington Army National Guard and also had been attending Officer Candidate School. One of my cousins saw this movie and came to me laughing, telling me that they made Lt Morgan and the National Guard look like idiots. My last name is Morgan. Thanks a lot, guys. Incidentally, I have been through Hope on a road trip (before I realized that is where the movie was filmed), very nice place!
Rambo is a very sad story. A man completely broken from inside and battered from the outside. In our country vets are respected and nobody really crosses their path. They are the ones that make sure we sleep peacefully at night. Rambo was ill treated is an understatement. Very sad
Greetings from Japan. I would love to visit that city someday. I saw the first Rambo movie on TV when I was in elementary school. It is still the best movie I have ever seen✨
yeah, I saw the movie in 1982 in the cinema. I had just turned 16 and all the big action movies of that year were 16+. Maybe even the movie town of Hope would have made a hero out of Rambo in the sequel and benefited from his popularity :)
OMG even the weather is the same just like in the movie! 🤣 apart from joke, I'm very glad to find this video as I'm really interested in movie locations just like you. Subbed! Keep up the great work!
You'll have to go back to Hope and do another video featuring the canyon where the famous helicopter scene was filmed. Who can forget that part where a stuntman jumps off the rock face. It's close to town and well worth seeing.
What a beautiful cozy town seriously I would love to visit it just because it looks really cool and cozy and obviously welcoming.. I love big cities and stuff but I love small towns like this or it looks like a small town to me..
This was my favorite out of all of them, the bridge had that nostalgic feel to it, i Remember when this came out in 1981 i was 17, i am 56 now and the talk of the town was the RAMBO bowie knife, it had a fishing kit in it ,waterproof matches a compass , suture kit, it was a bada$$ knife, but it wasn't practical . You can go to the auctions outside being sold by people, the thing was huge. It was great to see the locations now and what they look like side by side, you did a great job enjoyed this immensely. Now my favorite movie i am going to look at is the>> DEER HUNTER
@@Nostalgia_trips Ya me 2 it made the ambience of the hole movie, i think there going to put pictures of it up by the Bridge somewhere. Was that sportshop there when he goes in breaks the cans of gun powder up or was that made just for the movie. Sylvester is a aging older man now, we need to preserve these things ,of what life was like before social media , cell phones, and the internet, before this world took a severe turn for the worst.
Very well done! Thanks! I’m in chicago, so I always get a kick out of boring my family pointing out locations from movies filmed here. Only place I’ve ever sought out on a vacation was the park and Sts. Peter and Paul church from Dirty Harry in San Francisco in 2015
In the book, Will Teasle was a Korean War veteran and had his own demons. This was vaguely noted in the film where he says something like, ‘he [Rambo] wasn’t the only one who had a hard time in Vietnam!’
Wait what?! You mean that this beautiful place is in Canada and not in Oregon? 😮 Nice video. It's also pretty cool that you had pretty much the same weather conditions as the movie. 😊👍
Good policing or security means you actually have an eye out for the odd in the picture. But, of course, in the movie the cops are insane and mean, power tripping etc. That makes it fun to watch. Great place to visit!
Comey leader to Rambo ........ Comey leader to Rambo come in Johnny..... Manuel Ortega, '0-0' (team leader), is the most educated member of the Baker team, very smart and never stopped thinking about strategy and tactics, no matter how bad the situation or desperate the fighting, which is why Trautman chooses him as team leader for the Baker team. Joseph Danforth, '0-1' (vice team leader), was a criminal before the war. During his first tour in Vietnam, he enjoyed the military life and decided to join the special forces. He was a very thoughtful man with little conscence problems. John Rambo, "shadow man" (reconnaissance, silenced weapons, hand to hand combat) is the youngest of the group, and a silent kind of guy. He opened himself up only with other soldiers, usually speaking only about war related topics. Very little is known about him in the beginning of the book, but he probably had a very bad situation at home, which is why he enjoyed the army the sooner he could. Delmar Barry, 'shadow man' is a guy that couldn't for anything while one of his fellow soldiers were horribly tortured. So, he is one of the more enraged ones against the vietcongs. Robert Krakhauer, assault, heavy weapons, Krakhauer's past is also unknown, as Rambo's one is. During the third book, we will finally discover that the guy had never had a family at all, thus he lived to 'demostrate' something to the whole world... And he was always searching for more difficult challenges. Carl Jorgenson, assault, heavy weapons, was a jarhead that had to re-imagine his life after he fell in love with the daughter of a general. The girl had to leave his family, and then he had to do anything to give her the better life he can. Ricardo Colletta, sniper, spotter, land navigation, was a calm guy that used to go hunting with his father since ha was a kid. He choose the life in the army as any other job, and is really difficult to scare, no matter how bad the situation got. Daniel Messner, field medic and communications, was a drug addicted medic before the war. After the ending of a very important relationship with a woman, he joined the army to start a whole new life.
