Quite honestly, that speech at the end is one of the best speeches about war and PTSD ever put to film. Underrated film.
As a veteran, I've sat with friends having their "nothing is over" moment, and had my own. It's incredible how well and accurately Stallone portrayed it. It felt very familiar to me.
The “I don’t talk to anybody” is a deep cutting line
Idont think its underrated it literally one of his most popular films that made his career
It was the first main stream Hollywood movie to depict what we now call PTSD.
Sly deserves a lot of credit for that scene, he took his time talking to Vets and put a bit of all of them in that final scene, but the credit he deserves is for fighting the system which wanted Rambo to die in that scene. Im no Vet so i count talk on anyone's behalf, but i have read countless stories of how much this movie helped Vets.
"Like, they're heroes until you don't want them to be heroes anymore"
As a Marine Corps veteran, I think she nailed it in that one sentence. Bravo, Hannah. Bravo!
Exactly. She hit it right on the head all the way through the fucking board.
It's like the fantasy story element of 'survive long enough as a hero, you'll end up becoming the villain', usually not because YOU do something wrong, but because the people turns against you.
You live long enough to see yourself become the villain...luckily we had changed that but now people are reverting back because history repeats.
Anyone who claims that Sylvester Stallone can't act needs to watch this movie.
Also, "First Blood" is barely even an action movie. It's more of a character study and that's what makes it so great. I love it.
Even in the Rocky movies you can see him shine in some scenes, particularly his hallway scenes with Mick in 1 and 2.
@@clevelandcbi Love that movie. Shout out to Robert Patrick (The T-1000 from T2) as well. Ash needs a recommend.
He's an all around talented filmmaker.
Other than Bullet to the Head I don't think he's ever made a BAD movie.
@@bad-people6510 well, I HATED Judge Dredd when it came out. I knew a little about the character though. It was a better movie then it was a Dredd movie. And not even close to the Urban version. But I can enjoy it a little now as a mindless action movie.
Will never be a classed as a great actor for his skills and believability, is however one of the biggest action hero stars of all time and also creator of Rocky and Rambo
Haha i love when Hannah gets mad at Ash for being theoretically married to "Julie" in this 1980's era 😅
😂😂😂 she’s still asks me about it
I laughed pretty hard at that 🤣
Me too, I love their banter and fighting, they have great chemistry
The way we treat our veterans in the US, especially our Vietnam vets, is criminal. They deserved so much better. To all veterans, new and old, thank you for your service. Your blood and sacrifices are the reason our country remains free.
It’s also criminal when their lives are misspent by politicians to try to keep other countries from being free, as happened in Vietnam
To be fair it has gotten a lot better. Almost everyone respects veterans now however they definitely need more resources for mental health care.
Five Finger Death Punch is on top of that topic in "Wrong side of heaven".
@@VGK702 This movie had a lot to do with that...
@@VGK702 It really hasn't. The VA is a joke, and it's all an act like they give a damn. When they claim they do anything for soldiers, it's around election season so someone can scrape a few votes and keep a title.
This is why this film stands alone from the action mindless flicks the sequels would become. This tackled PTSD and made it very real. At the end your watching a peak male physical specimen utterly broken. Amazing acting.
A childhood favorite of mine. It's easy to forget that Rambo didn't kill a single person in this movie. I was really touched by Hannah's reaction towards the end.
Well technically, he directly caused the death from the helicopter but considering his situation, I'd say it was "incidental" at best...
@@sticky4158 if a death occuires when some is committing a felony, I think that's automatically 3rd degree murder. Rambo assaulting the police probably counts. King Shit cop regardless.
@@sticky4158 if you're gonna be pedantic about it, I'd say the pilot is more responsible than Rambo.
Read the book. He kills everybody.
@@JB-qj4cu The pilot wasn't responsible at all. He warned the other cop about not getting out of his harness and told him they were there just to be spotters.
36:15 is such a strong moment in the movie. The way Trautman hesitates as he places a hand on Rambo's shoulder and the expression on his face - it's clear that he has never seen Rambo like this before. He likely had forgotten that Rambo is just a human being, with complex emotions - rather than simply being the perfect killing machine.
"You're a man and all you do is complain." Mate, Hannah had me dying after that chirp 😭
He's a British man.
Hannah with the mic drop 😆😆😆
@@elricofmelnibone8256 The french too, guess it's an European thing more than a single nationality thing.
@@elricofmelnibone8256 Complaining is a human thing but not for the Ubermensch, ones we reach the level of the Ubermensch we would have evolved beyond petti complaining and insecurities
njjjj
Rambo reverts back to training. He blows up the gas station as a diversion, then runs to the gun store. By mixing the ammo into a pile before setting it all on fire, he creates the sounds of a gunfight. Now there are two diversions running, covering his assault on the main police station. Tactics.
Yeah! We know. We saw it too. Wtf!
Worth a second comment, as a veteran I sincerely appreciate both of your reaction to the final scene. War is nothing to be glorified or pursued for vanitys sake and stallone really brings out the residual pain and anguish of war so many soldiers throughout history have had to bear until their days came to an end.
If more of us valued love, friendship, and compassion over power, glory, and gain, the world would be a much merrier place for us all.
Mate we love you, thank you ❤️
Thanks for your service, sir. People like you are the reason this was such a great nation. God bless you in all that you do.
@@L4ftyOne
And you're just a troll trying to start some shit with someone who fought for your freedom and has PTSD from his experiences in the war he was in. He has to live with those monsters waking him up in a pool of sweat every night while you sleep comfortably and get to judge him and criticize him from afar.
I love that final quote from the Hobbit, but truer words were never spoken.
Well said. Too many leaders now call for war without standing themselves in the front lines. It's easy when it's someone else or someone else's kid. Often everyone loses except the few at the top.
Great reaction. Hannah hit it on the head. “They say you’re heroes until they don’t want you to be heroes anymore.” Poetry girl. Happy Veterans Day to all my battle brothers.
You accomplished nothing ..
welll someones girl got snatched by a veteran it seems@@LetthaWrite1inn
"They don't have battle scars, they have stretch marks." - Ash
Yo, as someone who deals with emotional and mental health issues, PTSD being one of them, that line made me laugh my ass off so hard. I needed that this morning. Thanks, man.
I was a sherriff's deputy in LA after my service and nothing is truer than that
My brother Nicholas it’s an honour to have you on my channel 👊🏽
SYMBOLISM
Hanna's reaction was what the director and producers were going for. Shortly after this film came out, due to immense pressure from the public, the US government opened a lot of the VA services to Vietnam vets who had previously been denied help or assistance
First blood is a great movie, and more deep than any of the other Rambo. Also "Julie wants me back home, she made me a apple pie" "who's Julie" 😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t you start 😂
Man that Julie part had me cracking up, Ash is out here catching bullets for imaginary women 😂😂😂
That endings really hit different after I became a veteran. At the age of 21 when i got out i had deployed, been in combat, maintained and operated incredibly expensive and complex equipment, and been responsible for at least $8mil of arms room and B vault equipment. Come back to the real world and couldn’t even get a good blue collar job at first because I didn’t have enough “experience”
I appreciate you comment. And I thank you for your service. I wish there was more real support for veterans to integrate back into civilian life, and to heal from all of their wounds, both physically and psychologically. If we were able to accomplish this as a nation, I think it would make our whole country, a lot stronger.
5:29 Because Teasel was a Korean War veteran and he feels like his generation was a generation of forgotten warriors. So he resents Vietnam veterans. The book goes into WAAAAAAY more depth with his character. He's arguably the protagonist in it.
That's interesting that adds more to the character for me.
If this detail was put into the film instead of the various useless lines they gave Stallone, perhaps he wouldn't have gotten pissed off about it...
When by all rights, he shouldn't be. Teasle, that is. The book really didn't do 'nam vets any justice and that was illustrated clearly with Rambo.
Stallone turned the character of rambo into a more humane confused individual. Stallone knew it wouldn't of worked if he wouldve brought the same rambo character out of the book onto the screen. Stallone's version worked perfectly if u ask me.
Rambo did such a good job of portraying what a vet goes through. Everyone turned against them when they weren't there and experienced what they did. I bet you 10 to 1 all the people talking mess about them wouldn't last 5 minutes going through what they had to to survive and come home just to be treated as garbage. Every time I see or hear someone say they are a vietnam vet, I make sure to let them know that at least 1 person thanks them for their service and willing to speak with them about it if they want to although most of them don't. I've had old men cry to me saying that I was the first to ever thank them after all that time.
Hannah can't handle a whiff of injustice. This reaction was a no-brainer.
Hannah is a sweetheart, oh my goodness. Her reaction to the end had me emotional. Amazing movie!
plays up to the camera , don't like her
Surprisingly this is my Grandma's favorite movie. She loves Stallone.
Your grandma has great taste!
Your grandma is awesome 😎
Dude, how young are you?!!
Dude, how young are you?!!
@@walterdayrit675 my grandma is 91 if that helps
This is for Hannah. I'm with you in that end scene. You're reaction is my reaction exactly. I teared up a bit myself just watching the clip of the scene and you reacting to it. Stallone's performance is so flawless in that scene because it instantly takes your emotions to what his character is going through as if you experienced it yourself. You are awesome and thanks for what you bring to the videos!
Back then, if you were a man and had long hair, they called you slurs and treated you like you were a lazy troublemaker. A lot of guys came home from Vietnam got out of the military and kept growing their hair. And a lot of the olders really reacted negatively to that, all these military men suddenly having wild, thick, luxurious, long hair.
Very true, the "dragnet" generation loved their buzz cuts and even today can have mixed perceptions about men with long hair and often view them as "deviants" on some level lol
The main reason people didn't like seeing soldiers returning from Vietnam was because the media was reporting the brutality American soldiers were doing, rape, murder etc...like if Russian soldiers returned from Ukraine and their families see the atrocities they were taking part in assuming no one was watching and they wouldn't be held to account.
Obviously not all soldiers who went to Vietnam took part in it, but the media then like it does today amplifies the brutality. Many American soldiers did some unspeakable things in Vietnam. What guys like John Rambo didn't understand was the world was long hating the soldiers before good soldiers even got home. Before they themselves knew the world was watching other soldiers rape and kill. That's why the cop sheriff warned him about "looking how you do". He looked like a Vietnam vet and they had some horrible PR throughout the years.
@@_nauticaldisaster_ yeah but remember that it's not all their fault its societies fault as well and governments more than both societies and soldiers together
Cause governments start wars and if you're like a soldier trying not to get involved in war then you get in jail or else
In most of the conflicts soldiers are just instruments and they are influenced by propaganda as well as common people
Awww, Hannah, I had stomach cramp for days from crying when I first saw this. Who knew such a macho action film could be so heartbreaking?! The fact that everyone treated those Vets so abhorrently and didn't put the blame on the US Government for waging that phoney war will always make me so angry.
Great reaction you two💖💖
Appreciate you ❤️
"Julie just made me an apple pie" that and Hannah's reaction made me laugh so much xD
Saw this and immediately clicked! A stand alone movie that should have gotten A LOT more recognition! Much love.
My dad was a Vietnam Vet, '67-'68 Artillery Scout in the Big Red One. Respect and love to all who serve.
Stallone has an Golden Globe win, and several Oscar nominations, which puts him miles above every other "action hero" as an actor, and above most dramatic ones as well. The guy is just criminally underrated, even though he is hugely successful
He won an Oscar for Rocky as well.
He should have won the Oscar for his acting in Creed.
I think Stallone gets underrated as an actor because (1) people back in the day conflated him with his character in Rocky; (2) as a result of that and the way he talks, Stallone is caricatured as dumb when he clearly isn't; and (3) he did a bunch of big, dumb action movies during the 80s heyday of big, dumb action movies and the actors who did those movies weren't considered top shelf (kind of like how being a TV actor used to be considered less respectable and legit than being a movie actor and doing commercials was so shameful most A-listers would only do them in Japan where American audiences would never see them).
While it's true that some of his big, dumb action roles were big and dumb, if you go back to movies like "First Blood" and "Rocky," you see that Stallone can really act. Granted, I don't think he could believably play a character like a scientist or doctor or something - he's not one of those "disappearing into a role" kind of actors - but in certain types of roles that fit his look and sound, he kills it. And let's not forget that he wrote "Rocky" as well as acted in it (and received the Oscar nom for Best Original Screenplay in addition to his Best Actor nod) so, y'know, man's not a dummy despite what stand-up comedians and cartoon VO actors picking the low-hanging fruit of a Sylvester Stallone impression might have you believe.
I have never seen a more powerful performance than John Dennehy on stage the first day he was back from a heart attack on Broadway. I've said it before but I don't mind seeing it again. I cried the whole night through.
I love that everyone still calls this movie "Rambo". I don't think I've heard 5 people in my whole life say "First Blood"
Same lol I think it just might aswell be called Rambo anyway 🙂
It would be really interesting to see them reacting to the 4th movie which is actually just called Rambo. Although it might actually be a little bit to much for Hannah.
@@d34d10ck I'm sure she would enjoy it, though I agree its tough to watch but a little easier when familiar with his character already. I was shocked myself the first time my boyfriend and I watched it, also cried on alot of parts
I came to see a reaction to Rambo. Suddenly I heard the words signaling a far better show was coming….
“Who’s Julie?”
I almost created a Patreon account just to see that conversation in full.
"Nothing is over!" Still Gets me Sylvester just put 💯 Of himself in there and Created a Legendary Film 👏🎇 Great reaction and Good job getting it by TH-cam dang Skynet 😂
I think it was funny when you both were like he doesn’t feel cold, but forgot that he made a cover for him, because he was actually cold. He feel pain and the elements, he is just able to endure better.
Awwww, Hannah crying was so heartfelt. Another great reaction to an awesome movie. Loved it when it came out and still get a buzz when I watch it all these years later. I hope you're gonna do the rest. I think Hannah would love Rocky Ash as both characters are fantastic. I hope she has forgiven you for the Julie comment 🤣
I wake up and don’t know where I am. Not military, but I’ve been through some things. Diagnosed with PTSD many times. It’s rough. Show them boys some respect. Salute.
I just absolutely love Hannah!!!! She makes my day with her personality and her true heart felt reactions
That’s my girl 😍
She's the coolest. Crying for Rambo and Terminator... she's just pure empathy.
Her accent is so cute :)
36:09 -- Hannah... Don't ever be ashamed of your emotions or showing them.. It's what makes you human and relatable to all of us.. This was a VERY powerful scene and someone who feels nothing looking at it... They aren't human.
The whole time I was watching I was thinking Hannah was gonna melt down at the end. His speech is so touching, and raw. And up until then he had barely spoken any words. It is extremely powerful
This was such a good movie brings me back to my childhood I was born in 92 so I watched it when it was on tv in the late 90’s and 00’s
The scene where Rambo leaps into the tree. Stallone really fell into that tree and broke a rib his reaction was genuine.
That's incredible, I never knew that, but always looked authentic and when I was younger would question whether he really got hurt or if it was just damn good acting
When Aragorn kicked the helmet in "The two towers" he broke his toe.
@@TheTurinturumbar Sly also took his share of genuine hits in the Rocky movies, Dolph put him in the hospital from a good hit to his ribs that caused his heart to beat irregular when they were making Rocky 4
An aspect of this film that is not talked about, is that the sherif was also a veteran. A lot of Nam vets were looked down by other veterans who thought they 'lost' the war. Additionally, Nam was not as clear compared to Korea or WW2. The veterans of Vietnam took a lot of shit from the public, abandoned by their government, and shamed by other veterans. As an Afghanistan vet, Vietnam vets were trailblazers for making the VA what it is today and making sure all ppl coming home, are welcomed. Will always be grateful for them and thank them every time I see them
That's the difference. Ash has to make the scene goofy because Stallone went into a high pitched voice for a sec whereas Hannah has the courage to just feel and go with it. Kudos Hannah.
That voice crack is good acting
I was gonna say the same thing. I feel like he doesn't have genuine reactions. But her reaction was honest and true. And she made the scene better and sadder
@@Texmexrex True. She caught the essence of it. Ash is a bit immature. All the time he is prolonging and hiding behind his silent fake laughing... but hey he's still young. Give it time I guess.
Like he mentioned he has seen this movie as a kid. So this scene does not hit the same as an adult watching for the 1st time. I saw this film as a kid and loved it cuz of the action. Not until I watched it several years later as an adult that I realized the emotional impact of that scene.
Irritated me when he did that. Why would you trample on that moment?
This was basically John wick before John wick, the way they build Rambo up with all of these warnings and notoriety that Rambo had build up is exactly like John wick. Add the horrors of war element and it's no wonder why these movies and this character became so popular and well remembered
Hannah's reaction was really gutwrenching. I was a kid back in the day and so watching it, I saw an action movie - nothing more. But being older today, learned about history and the background of that movie (I'm not an American), there's so much more in this movie that makes me think nowadays. So, I sympathize with Hannah.
I love how Hannah's mind works, the "I hope they have insurance" remark had me dying lmao
When Rambo says this wasn't his war, he means he was drafted into the war, he did not enlist voluntarily.
Exactly. They turned these people into weapons to be used, and then discussed them when they were spent up. Exploitation of vulnerable people to the max.
Hannah, if everyone reacted like you maybe we would finally have peace in this world. War is hell. There are no winners; only those who lose less.
Hi Guys, This based on a book by David Morrell.
1) Sheriff Teale was a Korean War Veteran in the book. That is why he has an issue with Rambo.
2) This is a more important point. The Film came out in 1982. People in the US were just beginning to talk about Vietnam Veterans and how they were Treated. In the Book Col Trutman eventually had to Kill John Rambo because he was so broken. Slyvester Stallone thought it sent to wrong message about Veterans so he suggested the ending you Saw!!!!!
Hannah always cries whenever anything related to friends or camaraderie is involved. I've noticed that. This tells me that friends mean a lot to her, I guess. She values her friends and friendship. A noble quality in a person. Also, Ash my dude...taking another woman's name even in a hypothetical scenario in front of your girlfriend...DUDE!!!
As a veteran myself from the wars in the middle-east, I've seen people cheer, clamor and scream like banshees for us to go over there and get "justice" only for them to spew hate at us and judge us once its done. As if they have some moral authority over us.
That being said, my generation didn't experience that nearly as badly or harshly as Vietnam veterans. They were treated like absolute garbage when they came back from Nam and got little to no assistance from the government or others.
In general, veterans (in the U.S. at least) have been treated with much more respect and provided with a lot more resources for help over the last decade or so. Which I'm glad to see personally.
This movie always struck a cord for me and some of my friends. Stallone' performance, particularly at the end, is in my opinion some of the best acting he's ever done.
Rambo : 90 minutes of pack action followed by 5 minutes of one of the best acting ever made.
I absolutely agree, such a powerful performance by Stallone his best!!!
Hannah hit the nail on the head. We’re heroes, until we’re not needed anymore. People ARE fickle creatures
Did anyone notice that when Will sat to relax in his office, behind him, he had on display 3 military medals:
Navy Cross
Silver Star
Purple Heart
Will is a World War 2 veteran and a badass war hero in his own right according to those 3 medals. It’s really interesting how they have a WW2 war hero as the antagonist with a chip on his shoulder against Vietnam Veterans.
One would think that a war veteran would have the most compassion for a fellow brother war veteran.
The ending scene is a tear jerking. Wouldn't have minded a reshoot of the 'I can't find your legs' part but still amazing.
Nah, that's how a person who is truly emotional acts. No need for a reshoot. His voice is broken up, and it's like he is barely able to say "I can't find your legs". It's so shocking and traumatic that he was trying to think logically to help his friend (by finding his legs), but in reality there is nothing he could do to save him. Just imagine talking to someone about a friend, or anyone around you that was blown to pieces, yet still alive, screaming, and crying for your help, and their mother? Definitely the most powerful scene in any Stallone movie.
@@donavonhoward114 agreed, the rawness of his performance is what drives the emotion
Hannah is just a really good person. Glad to see she's really emotionally intelligent about this.
I agree with Ash on this one. The epilogue monologue is Stallone's finest work, respectively.
I've watched this movie dozens and dozens of times and that end scene always gets me. Hannah reaction throughout was the best.
Ash: "I would have kept that gun."
Hannah: "He doesn't need it."
Ash: "Now you get it."
😆
He's a warrior. He could find his way in a jungle. All he needs is the stars and the sun.
Watching Hannah be absolutely fuming at the cops is fantastic,
Also nice Ali g moment with ya Julie
Most people have no idea Stallone could act like this. One of my favorite performances of his!
Check out his new show Tulsa King. He is really getting a chance to flex his acting chops.
As a veteran myself people were vial to Vietnam veterans. It was a despicable time. I am a vet of recent wars. Many of my friends in the marines fought in fallujah Iraq. It was a horrible fight. Rambo is a reminder to love the warrior hate the war. Read WE WERE ONE, it’s a excellent insight into war and what happens. What we faced and what we feel.
This movie was filmed in Hope, British Columbia, Canada (even though it takes place in USA). Those mountains are very real - they're the Rocky Mountains and I've enjoys countless hours camping and hiking in them. If you ever get the opportunity, please visit. People there are super nice and easy to talk to. I grew up in the shadow of the Rockies and I still think of them from time to time.
The biggest stars of the day, passed on this role. 40 years of Rambo and Rocky and stars and Hollywood thought he had no talent, yet he wrote and directed most of them! And before Terminator came out, Cameron helped him write 1 and 2!😮😮
Omg...so happy youre getting into the Rambo franchise.
I've seen this movie at least 100 times. I've memorized every line in this movie. The ending of this movie hits you hard! Stallone is a superb actor! ❤️🔥👊
Loved your reaction to the end Hannah. That last scene where he talks about his horrors of the war is far better than anything that Rambo does after this movie. Sequels always dilute the original characters. I love the other Rambo movies but this one is by far my favorite. Even though the story is fictional, it highlights real issues American soldiers faced when returning from Vietnam. This movie wonderfully touches on the subject of P.T.S.D. before the term was even commonly used; is the most relatable Rambo movie.
36:47 -- This scene is Academy Award material right there.. And the way it's done... No music, no background sounds from outside.. Just mentor and student.. The costs of war.. Disposable heroes..
Thank you for talking about PTSD, it neaver leaves you. You just learn how to deal with it 1 day at a time. Love you guys. Keep kicking ass guys.
O.M.G I've just picked my daughter up from swimming and seen the queen that is Hannah teaching a group of Kids next time I'm gonna get a selfie 😂😂
It’s one of Stallone’s best performances in a movie in my opinion. All of the movies are freaking awesome!
29:42 -- The truck wasn't supposed to jump the cars, it was supposed to plow through, knocking them out of the way.. But it hit with such force, it went over the hoods.. (Or bonnets as you guys call them.)
I am a veteran, and I have been treated with celebrity-status compared to what the Vietnam vets went through. They will always be my favorite.
Ash, make that chicken sound again. lol Great review for a great movie! Hannah, don't worry, love. You're a tender-hearted person and there's absolutely nothing wrong with showing emotion.
"Hopefully they are insured." I love how Hannah is worried about the common people. As a Union man I appreciate that.
Mann, I love hannah s reaction… her commentary is so great!!
She’s the best mate 👊🏽
Listen, Ash, this reaction, in particular, and especially at the moment of Hannah's finale, for me is really one of the most worthy and appreciated in this kind of content that I am passionate about! Hannah's nervous breakdown made me cry, although this, of course, impressive and powerful final scene of the film has already become more familiar after many screenings! This is a masterpiece reaction moment, thanks for this offer for your girlfriend! She really has a vulnerable soul, and not only a great mind and quick wit, appreciate and take care of her, man!
I can't really say anything about this movie that hasn't already been said, and better, by so many other people. It's a great film, and I'm glad you both enjoyed it. Hannah's reactions were great, pretty much exactly what the filmmakers wanted. They wanted viewers to see Rambo as a human being, not just a soldier, but also as a stand-in for veterans returning from Vietnam.
Speaking of, the book makes it much clearer, but one of the reasons the police don't like him is that he's a Vietnam vet, but that isn't the only reason. Brian Dennehy's character, the Sheriff, is a Korean war vet. At the time the story is set, the Vietnam War was still on everyone's minds. For it or against it, love the soldiers or hate them, everyone had an opinion and it was a very strong one. The Korean War, in contrast, was all but completely forgotten by that time. There was a sense of anger at the attention Rambo and other Vietnam veterans were getting, when the men in the Korean War, who had also seen and experienced horrors, had been, again, all but forgotten.
That doesn't make what he did any "better", but like Rambo's actions, it does provide more understandable and relatable context.
The scene where he talks to his son, and Rocky Balboa is the one of the best speeches of ever heard of the movie
Another great reaction. You two make such a good couple, complementing each other. And no need to feel sorry for crying Hannah. I drop some tears every single time I watch that movie.
Legend mate, thank you ❤️
I love that you guys like the 80s stuff as younger folks, shows that its not JUST nostalgia for folks like me there was something "golden" about the era. I won't go on and on about the era or the Vietnam war, a lot of comments address it, some are BS others are good its up to you to study and figure it all out.
Before Stallone was cast as Rambo Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Warren Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen, Robert DeNiro, Robert Redford, Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, James Caan, James Garner, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, and Steve McQueen were considered for the character
Before Richard Crenna was cast as Col. Sam Trautman, Kirk Douglas was cast in the role but fell ill with Pneumonia and Crenna was picked.
Most people are too young to know this but the Vietnam War was a total disaster by every possible metric - not only were casualties insanely high and soldiers were on high alert or in combat 24/7, but the American public was so staunchly against US involvement that returning soldiers were treated worse than child molesters. (In fact the 26th Amendment, lowering the voting age to 18, was only ratified in order to excuse sending teenage boys halfway around the world to die.) Vietnam veterans were denied jobs, seldom received VA benefits, were often spit on in public, and hardly any of them ever received the counseling and therapy they needed in order to return to civilian life.
Treating ANYONE like Rambo was treated is almost guaranteed to create an uncontrollable monster - doing it to a guy with the skills and fortitude to have survived multiple tours in Vietnam, in addition to at least two stints as a prisoner of the Viet Cong, is going to unleash hell beyond anyone else's darkest nightmares.
I had to come back here a 3rd time! You two are so awesome!! I love your banter, comments and chemistry above anything else and that's what makes you two my ultimate favorite reactors. You're definitely the very best in the biz, bar none!!!
That being said First Blood is an all time favorite movie of mine and yes, Stallone definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves. I love this movie so that I was so excited and couldn't wait for Hannah to experience it for herself. The BEST reactions ever! And if you ever decide to go back and actually look at the alternative ending, it's even sadder with the monolog but would have never started the franchise (Thank God the test audience didn't go for it).
On the contrary, Stallone is one of my favs. Without saying anything, his eyes speak volumes.
You two are funny and very entertaining. Always a good video with Hannah talking shit, being a bad ass, random thoughts, showing good emotions, and most importantly you pay good attention and catch plots points others reactors miss. Ash being funny with the "I'm half man" haha "Julie wants me back home" " no no if I was in Portland.." hahahaha
6:09 -- Rambo's knife was made by legendary bladesmith Gil Hibben.. And yes, all his creations are surgically sharp.
Rambo genera ese tipo de reacción en mucha gente, así como a Hannah, insuperable actuación de Sylvester Stallone. Saludo cariñoso a Hannah desde Perú.
People in the 80s use to give Stallone shit for the final scene where he cries and at me for liking that part. They were like "How bad was his acting?" and they use to crap on about how they couldn't understand him and I was like "That's the point." But I knew what he said word for word.
A really poignant movie especially when you realize this was not long after the end of Vietnam, so it must have hit home for many veterans still reeling.
The end of this movie is the best acting Stalon has ever done! Every time I see this I cry and I'm 54. Thank you Sylvester!
You two are seriously hilarious. Hannah's expressions and reactions throughout the movie are priceless. Ash buddy, I think you talked yourself into a hole @ 17:33
The speed in which Ash is digging his grave with the "Julie" thing is just astonishing - And he just keeps going and going. 🤣
Watched this one on Patreon, it's definitely a quality reaction!
PTSD is no joke, as someone who suffers from it every single day. People say i exaggerate because of what i went through as a kid and what I went through the rest of my life. It's not something someone can turn off.
Got to admit, I really like you guys as a team. I don't care so much for the vids Ash does by himself or Hannah does be herself. It's the 2 of you interacting that makes you enjoyable.
Brian dennehy, what an actor! Came from odd jobs, a part time stock broker, and learned theater. But said as a broke guy, learned acting from watching matinees between jobs. A master actor of stage and screen, most famous for this, a movie with James Woods, and a underground boxing movie I think called Warriors. RIP to him.
I just want to say you two are amazing, my dad showed me this movie back in 2020. And Rambo is one of my favourite 80's action heroes. And I'd also like to say that I'm glad that I found this channel sincerely a fan from Australia. P.s. if you're interested might I recommend Escape from New York with Kurt Russell? It's an awesome movie.
It's really like that. The flashbacks, nightmares, the tears you keep inside, all alone. Nobody understands you. They have advice. But they are not you. Their words are insults, they cut your heart. And for the rest of your life...the rest of my life...there's nothing.
Loved the reaction especially Hannah. God bless her, she's a keeper mate. Please react to the rest of the Rambo series
Maybe a unpopular opinion but i don't think you need to watch the other ones cause they kinda suck. They Maybe good action movies but they suck story wise.
100% with you on that.
Rambo (2008) is pretty good. The rest are bad, Last Blood (2019) is atrocious.
We need to see Hannah’s reaction to Rambo (2008) , suck or not. 😂
Yes I would also say that after First Blood, "Rambo" (2008) is the only sequel really worth a watch beyond the typical 1980s action shoot-em-up flick.
@@stephenbull2026 lol Yeah would be funny
