- I went to Hope British Columbia, Canada to the locations of the the first Rambo Film 'First Blood'. I had an amazing time filming and putting together this video. Hope you enjoy it!
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 TH-cam'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!
It’s a Canada?! Which city?

Done
I loved this movie as a Kid, gonna sub to you just because of your effort. Hope you bring more videos.
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, 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!
The weather never disappoints,low clouds hugging the mountains, always looking dark and full of rain, just like 1982.
Typical B.C. weather I guess, but really does create a nice vibe
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.
Well, assholes do asshole things. That's life. We're all impressed by your knowledge of the area, though! lol 😜
why didn't he ubereats?
@@winghong8072 ubers didn't exist in the early 80s.
your a genius
Right!
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.
Россия сделала свою версию Рэмбо. Для меня русская версия даже лучше, реалистичнее.
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. :-)
I've seen this film now 67 time's and i still love it!
That's very specific
Согласен, тоже не менее сотни раз смотрел его 💥👍
That’s a long road ✌️
Já assisti tantas vezes que perdi a conta
@@terryuller2479 That b this movie theme song
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
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.
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!
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.
Even the weather was perfect for your visit to Hope.
Yes, the perfect day!
Perfect? It looks cold and gloomy.
Hope on a good day haha@@theoriginalsurferbob
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.
Stallone's sad expression reminds me of myself as i suffered from autism my whole life, veteran of being autistic.
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.
@@MrJtrip11 Great movie though never read the book.
Was there in 1988, and the Rambo stuff wasn’t a big deal. They had a bit of stuff on it at the tourist info center, photos etc.
4:20 it is magical. you're standing in the same spots and seeing the same buildings. it's like standing on the beaches in Normandy.
It is amazing
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.
There is no Cascadia.
@@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.
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.
@@johnamcinerneythanks for letting me know!
Same here. Happy to have found this. Thank you!
@@aintlyon304Thanks for watching
That's how TH-cam 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.
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 😂😂
Cool Video !!
I graduated in 1982 so this movie brings back a lot of memories.
very nice sentimental music, making me feel the good old times
Здорова, спасибо. В детстве это был мой любимый филь, а потом еще и видео игра по одноименному названию. Вот это были времена 👍🏻
My favorite movie of all time. Hard to see how the town of a hope has changed. Progress. Thank you for the video. ☮️
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'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 :)
And of course the soundtrack to this movie is brilliant.
i wish i was from there.
I am from China , we don’t have similar natural beauties like these pity
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.
Thanks for the info
i have a bridge bullet. its a wooden piece of the bridge carved and placed in a bullet casing with a leather strap to make it a necklace.
Either the town in Pennsylvania that i live in.
Looks like a beautiful little town!
It is!
It's picturesque but changing that bridge was criminal,it should have had a preservation order on it
Thanks for sharing this video. Awesome stuff in that town
my grandpa used to own a small engine repair shop right across the street from the park. gotta love hope!
keren nih.....bekas lokasi syuting jadi kawasan objek wisata.
The town called Hope British Columbia
Epic! I need to get here some day.
Nice work mate! Love it.
Greetings from Hungary.
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!!!
I was hoping you found out and visited the spot in the opening of the film. That gorgeous location by the lake with the old cabins.
Unfortunately I didn't have the time. I also heard that the cabin is no longer there and it's all overgrown with weeds.
The gun shop is actually built in the road next to that shop. You can see the crosswalk in front of the gun shop when they show the overhead view.
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 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Your dad sounds cool!
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.
Hopefully next time!

But that would have made fir a boring movie...I assume that you wanted a romance film?? Kiss and make love, shit fuck no!!

@@ftsection2156 That's my name!
Brilliant video
Lovely location
Thanks
Good job, greetings from Argentina!!!
I also saw Rambo many times
Forget the sequels, this film stands on its own as a atmospheric small town action thriller! Fast paced and a great supporting cast!
What I really like about this town is that it looks even nicer than it was in the film (except the bridge)
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!
Hey! Very nice video! Hugs from a fan from Brazil!
What a film, First Blood !!!
Thanks for the video
Great video. I try and visit Hope several times a year. Absolutely LOVE it there
Wish I could go there that many times a year!
Did you stop in at the visitor center and speak with Brian? He is all things Rambo....such a great guy
@@lucasreid6335 I'm afraid I didn't. Next time I go I will!
My favorite movie EVER!!!!🥺🥺😭 Thank you so much man!!!!
It looks kinda quite and peaceful town..the ambience..I love it
They did a terrific job of picking Sylvester Stallone to do Rambo, another famous character of his.
Absolutely, and now I read somewhere that they are remaking Rambo and Adam Driver will play the part.
@@Nostalgia_tripsNo! Can't be!
@@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 😂
The whole town has become a Rambo shrine. Love it.
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.
How beautiful place this small town is !!
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 :)
Saw it in the cinema in 1990 for the first time, if I'm not mistaken. Along with "Gleaming the cube", BTW. How time flies.
Beautiful town!
Love your commentary on location of the classic RAMBO first blood.!
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✨
Great video mate, captured the atmosphere really well
Thanks a lot!
The big tree that splits the road where Rambo rode his motorcycle trying to get away from Teasle is nearby as well as the area where they kept the big log that says Holidayland. We went there last March and it was awesome. The guy at the visitor center near the area where Teasle picked up Rambo showed and had us hold the real machine gun used in the promo poster of Stallone for Rambo.
That's awesome!
nice !!! would love to visit it ! Rambo first blood is the best!
Great video! I am Canadian and would love to see Hope some day. Thanks! 🙏
Canada is awesome!
Культовое кино👍👍. Завидую всем, кто ещё не смотрел! Сколько раз смотрел, уже не вспомню, сбился со счёта🤭. Мне нравятся все актёры, которые участвовали в этом фильме. Очень точный подбор актёров! Все сыграли на отлично!
Поддерживаю твое каждое слово !
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!
Can't believe they tarnished your name like that, haha
He did have to be back at the drugstore on Monday!
The old bridge was so Wild West like.
Beautiful landscape and town.
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad I watched the movie recently, it feels way more recognizable!!
Poor gunshop loool!
Awesome! Was there in 2019
Did you enjoy it?
@Nostalgia_trips I felt like I was on the movie set ..unreal
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..
Amazing video ! Congrats !!!
Great video really enjoyed it 👍
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!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Il y a un john Rambo en chaque UN! Merci à vous pour de partager votre émotion,avec nous!! Cordialement !!!!
Beautiful Location
thank you for this nice video!
Hope is a very beautiful place. Totally Twin Peaks!
Hope town always has nice weather 🌦️
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. 😊👍
Thanks! 😃
Excellente vidéo, le piano m'a transporté à la fin, merci. Bonjour de la France. ❤
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!’
If Teasle was a vet himself, he should have understood Rambo better.
Cool vid. Thank you.
Wow! They own it up with the statues!
Thank you so much for taking us to those places. Huge and amzing rememberance to this outstanding movie! Cheers from Germany, Tommy
Beautiful location....
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
Thanks for watching!
Já cheguei com o Likezão topado VPM fortalecendo os amigos
Great memory!! Thank you.
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
Thanks for watching. I still wish that original bridge was there!
@@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.
You walked like a Rambo! 😅 Amazing
I was born in 82 Rambo first blood and Terminator 2 will always be my favorites
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
What a beautiful place.
nothing weird about visiting the filming location of what is probably the greatest worldwide cultural phenomenon that is Rambo 1st Flood.. nice video.
Cheers!
Great video, good job
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. Did you make it to any of the wooded areas where filming took place?
Unfortunately no
Awesome movie and beautiful town, cheers.
Definitely one of my favorites and would love to take the family there.👍🏼🍻
great video dude!
Appreciate it!
Very spactacular study about the known locations of the film...
I feel the same about Twin Peaks. Nice documentary there, Lewis! Rambo was quite epic.
Twin peaks is also epic!
Rambo John J! This is awesome! Pilgrimage material! 👌👌🙏🙏
Thanks for watching!
Eu tenho todos os Filmes e os 2 Disco só falta o primeiro em Vinyl do Rambo !!! 🐺😎😍😆😆🔥🔥👏👏💪💪👍👍
Great video I realy liked how no one defaced those statues wdnt last long here in UK
I dunno about that. There are plenty of statues in the UK with no graffiti.
