Seriously though, Stallone's acting in the end segment of Rambo is fucking incredible. Intense, passionate and believable. He seriously kills, no pun intended, and it's easily his best role after Rocky.
I'm from hope, where they filmed rambo and I can say for certain that there is in fact that many gas stations on one road. Also fun fact the owner of the gas station that the blew up was going out of business so he sold the station to the movie people and they actually blew the whole thing up. People from town got to watch, it was quite the event for our little town.
So that's where global warming came from! Jk, I remember when I was 4or5 yrs old my dad was stationed at malmstrom air force base in great falls Montana, and I watched them film the police chase scene from thunderbolt and light foot from the back seat of a 1964 Ford galaxie 500 right through down town great falls lol
Absolutely. Iraq war veteran here. That is the most accurate and realistic part of the movie. I actually wrote a paper in school for my bachelor's degree in psychology about Rambo's breakdown scene.
@@lmjones7716 oh good a keyboard warrior. Congratulations Mr Jones. You've probably watched a few TH-cam videos about our terrible foreign policy and our history of military occupation. What else have you done?? I do agree with the premise of your slander and even General Smedley Butler said that all war is a racket. But being in the military is not at all about the politics of foreign policy and war. It is about a sense of duty and the belief that if we do go to war and men have to go, it should be me that goes and not you or your child. I'll be the man that goes to war, while you and your fellow boys stay home and comment on TH-cam videos.
Teasle dislikes Rambo because he sees the Vietnam vets questioning the war and everything. Teasle is a vet of Korea and there is a type of generational gap and he feels Rambo as a veteran of Vietnam is disrespecting his country and army. Rambo's "Nothing Is Over!" speech was both greatly written and brilliantly acted. It symbolizes a broken veteran from a hopeless war. His friends are gone all he has is himself. Without anyone around his nightmares and PTSD haunt his broken mind until he can break down and let it out. One of if not the most accurate representations of a traumatized soldier.

People forget how dramatic and grounded first blood was, due to the over the top action in the rest of the franchise. It's a Rambo movie with only one death!
If anyone's wondering, the original reasoning for Teasle being a dick to Rambo was present in the book. It was primarily because Teasle had been a Korean War Vet (you can actually see his medals and patches in his office), and was a bit jealous of the Vietnam Vets, as the WW2 Vets were hailed as heroes, and the Vietnam Vets were scorned, but him as his fellow Korea Vets returned to essentially nothing, along with a bit of power tripping over someone he saw as inviting trouble to the town (if not by causing trouble himself, then by inviting other drifters to the town who would inevitably cause trouble)
So, in the novel it was explained that the sheriff was a Korean War vet and was angry that while the Vietnam Vets got more time and attention and the Korean War vets were pretty much forgotten about. Hope this helps and loved the F/X reference. Maybe that could be a future episode, just saying...
@@Fulllife3.2 The book was much more about "man's inhumanity to man" and the abandonment of our soldiers, with a much bleaker tone and portrayal of BOTH the sheriff and Rambo. So having the Sheriff be a vet who's mad at how WELL treated the Vietnam vets are plays into both of those themes.
Chris Roberts, The movie was not perfect because there was no sex scenes in the movie. Rambo should have railed some big breasted Brunette or Blonde girl in this movie for it to be perfect.
I agree, a great movie for it's time. Now, a movie like this is a dime a dozen, but back in the early 80's, this was cutting edge. Also, back in the 70's and early 80's, military personnel were really looked down upon. That started to change during Reagan's 8 years, but it was still there. I remember I was marching in a parade in Texas in 1995 and we got booed by some of the crowd. Obviously once 9/11 happened, the military has been mostly loved since then. But I think they did a good job to capture how the public used to feel about veterans, which was that they mostly despised them.
Stallones delivery of the speech at the end is one of the highlights of his career. The emotional trauma that a War Vet has to endure is perfectly portrayed by this performance. Excellent scene
Hmmm....before or after eh......so think about what you're saying here moron, no matter if You released it 3 years ago it still would have been before, and if You released it 10 years from now it was still be after oh, and you thought you were being clever oh my God you're so stupid

@@markkeith9055 actually no they don't 😂 the only time he bleeds is when he jumps off a cliff on to a tree to avoid getting shot by one of the deputies on the helicopter.
1st, exactly right on the sign dates, the top part was the town slogan. 2nd, the bit about the amount of gas stations, before the new highway was finished in the late 80s Hope was the last place to stop & fill up before going over the rockies, so gas up or die basically in the winter 3rd I live an hour away from Hope
I still think he deserves a sin. I watched the whole movie very carefully and at no point did David Caruso ever put on a pair of sunglasses while Roger Daltrey screamed "Yeeeeeaaaaah!"
Crazy as it sounds, that is pretty accurate. If Teasle had just left him alone, his friend (Galt) would still be alive & his town wouldn't have been torn to hell.
Well in the book Rambo did get something to eat. After Teasle kicked him out Rambo went to a diner or someplace. Teasle caught him and even paid for the food. Two burgers. Teasle gave him another ride and he came back just cuz he wanted to defy Teasle. In the book wasn't entirely sympathetic and Teasle wasn't a complete dick. Rambo had a huge grudge against authority and it is seen throughout the book. And he was a killer before being sent to Vietnam.
Funfact: Something like this ACTUALLY HAPPENED in Germany recently. A man called Yves Rausch disarmed 4 police officers using nothing but a bow and basically the entire German police was hunting him down for weeks in the Schwarzwald forest. So it's actually not all that insane to think the cops would mobilize in that time and those numbers because of such an incident.
@@sskspartan true, but Rambo was asking "why are you pushing me, I didn't do anything", then one cop uses a stick to pummel him to the ground (from behind), then he has a shaving knife held right in his face with the cop saying "hold still I don't want you to cut your own throat" The same time a GOOD cop, (maybe the only good one there) say "how blind are you, can't you see this man is crazy", to which the other cop says "I don't give a sh*t", looks to me like they were pushing and mocking and physically hurting Rambo step by step to where he could take no more.
I remember asking my dad why the cop was being such an ass to Rambo. He said at the time Vietnam vets were not very popular coming home. Many homeless vets were cast out of towns and shunned due to people thinking they “lost the war.” Pretty sad and shitty how people can turn their backs on those who served.
It was also a small town thing too. I've seen it growing up, where one small town ended up being a haven of drifters just hanging out, giving the locals shit, especially back in the day. The cop probably was trying to prevent that..in a dickish way.
@@KhanMann66 some people got shit just for BEING in. Even today, someone called me a piece of shit for going over to Iraq. With information, it's stil up for interpretation. Some people believed in the war and therefore are willing to help vets. Some poeple understand that people who are in may not have so much information and just follow orders. They sympathize. Some people blame those who join and shit on them for making such a decision. And some vets, though it may be PTSD..but it comes off as "He/She thinks they are better than me just because they joined...some vets get on people's nerves...a lot. And for some people, I represent all of those.
The soldiers weren't blamed for losing the war. They were blamed for fighting. I was too young to really have an opinion of the Vietnam war, and with the exception of the initial invasion to kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan I have disagreed with every US conflict since. I have never blamed the soldiers, though, and at this point we've moved to an all-volunteer military.
I remember when this movie first came out, and a lot of veterans wrote in to our local paper complaining that it made vets look like a bunch a deranged losers.
@Frank Pitts it shows that A veteran has PTSD. One. Singular. There was no dialogue about any members of his team having the same trouble,. Nor was Trautman, who served alongside Rambo, portrayed as being anything but calm and level-headed. A single character in a single situation does not perpetuate a myth. Unless you're an idiot with the reasoning of a small child.
"I don't care how noisy these military trucks are on the inside, you would definitely hear the sound of a grown-ass man jumping on top of it." Wrong, cinema sins, wrong.
You can barely hear anyone talking when sitting next to someone in the back. You have to shout, and with items banging and shifting around, odds are, even if you heard it, you wouldn't suspect a person jumping from 15' on the hillside of a road onto it.
I was in the guard no you would not care or listen or stop you probably be thinking this sucks I been at work all week now I got to play Army for like 180 bucks for the next 2 days thats what would be on my mind anyway!
When Stallone says “get out of the way” while riding the motorcycle I realized that is probably the only time he isn’t mumbling, talking slowly, or talking quietly
What confused me about this movie was near the beginning, when Teasle gave Rambo a ride through town; Rambo says he's going north so Teasle supposedly drives him north. Then Rambo says he's going to Portland, in which Teasle points out is south. Yet when Teasle drops off Rambo at the bridge, Teasle says 'Portland, straight ahead'. That makes no sense. Did they do a U-turn somewhere in the middle of town and start driving south?
@@mikeshelogowski434 Cool! They always have to leave certain things out when they adapt from a book, or movies would be 5 hours long. I first realized that when I saw "Misery" after reading the book -- they had to leave out a ton!
Teasel was a Korean War Vet and that was called “The forgotten war”. Rambo was a Vietnam Vet. I’m sure that had something to do with the hate Teasel felt for Rambo which is why he pushed Rambo so far.
@@amirysyafy4801 that scene when Teasle gets back to his office, kind of disappointed and bitter because he didn't catch Rambo alive, or kill him himself. When he sits down, three medals are shown behind him, under the eagle statue.
I like how Teasle is worried that with Rambo entering his town, they'll soon have a whole bunch of vagrants. What is he afraid Rambo will do? Tell his friends??? Because everyone knows how social and communicating vagrants are.
In the book it goes more in beph about a sort of rivalry where Korean vets like the sherif look down on Vietnam war vets for giving all war vets bad rep. My take from the book in a nutshell.
3:52 I've seen this 100 times....the only reason he pops a wheelie here and in a couple other places, is because that's not Sly. They had to find SOME way to cover his face! Lol
@@wilclark2272 Lol No, no....I wasn't saying "Please cover that ugly mug!" I was just saying they couldn't make his double look enough like him, so they had to hide his face. That's all. 😉
1. He was a Korea vet, and didn't like Vietnam vets. It was basically a "my war has a bigger d*** than your war" issue. 2. They actually used to hose off people like that. Because of body lice mostly. Stallone said in the commentary it was extremely unpleasant. The hose pressure was just as high as it looks, and it kept blowing off the scar makeup. So they had to keep reshooting it. 3. The movie takes place in the 70s. The novel was written in 72, so it may even be set in the 60s. 4. It's a lumber town, they have to deal with lumberjacks. Stallone told a funny story in the commentary about going into a lumberjack bar and ordering some high class drink that shattered any pretense he had to be being as bad a** as he looked, and booking it because things were getting tense with the locals. 5. Those are hunting dogs. People in rural areas hunt. 6. The stuff in the woods takes place at night. Everything else happens the next day. I wont deny that the movie has some issues with making the timeline clear, but it isn't so bad that you can't tell that the first day takes place starting in the afternoon, they try to track him down around dusk and into the night. Everything else happens the second day. 7. The gas stations are there to support all the trucks. It's also on a main highway, and people stop to get gas when they're driving along highways.
Very much wrong about being a Korean War vet, he was part of (MACV-SOG) Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group as a Long-range Reconnaissance patrol unit commanded by Colonel Trautman called "Baker Team." All this information is easily found. Also read the book. Get your wars right.
First Blood: Best movie Rambo First Blood Part II: Personal favorite Rambo III: Just have fun with it Rambo: HOLY SHIT!!! Rambo Last Blood: Check it out in theaters, folks!
I couldn't agree more with your take on all the films. First Blood is a really good movie but II is a guilty pleasure of mine. I saw it a couple days after my high school commencement ceremony in 1985, so it holds a special place in my heart. After seeing Sly running through Mexico where this was filmed w/his perfectly fit, Franco Columbo (RIP) trained body, I bought a weight set from the local Montgomery Ward and started lifting weights. The film is essentially a cartoon, comic book and drips w/80s cheese but I love it. Stallone has said he hates it the most out of all the films. It is an action film that still holds up today.
As some one who lives in a tiny town, it is perfectly normal for there to be that many gas stations right next to each other. It's nothing but diners and gas stations.
Makes me think of Breezewood, PA. Anyone who has been through there knows what I am talking about. Nothing but a couple mile strip of gas stations, motels, and restaurants for travelers near where several expressways converge.
You are right, I lived right near hope and drove past those everyday for work. 3 major highways branch out from there and you gotta drive by hope to get out of the lower mainland
Johnny rambo didn't really murder anyone - they had it in for him with their doberman hunting dogs that were trained to kill not sniff and arrest besides, their handler didn't even look to be a cop 👮
Johnny rambo took out 2 city cops 👮 👮 - the city law enforcement agency officer 👮 nearby the dogs plus officer Galt 👮 though, johnny rambo was using self defence tactics
The underlying theme of this movie is that the cop is a Korean war vet, and I guess at that time there was a lot of resentment from the Great War generation at how Vietnam war vets lost the war; conversely, the Vietnam vet was also a highly trained and experienced commando who had severe PTSD from fighting in an unwinnable war. It's actually a strong criticism on war, and perhaps American imperialism, that still holds true even today (especially after watching the post 9/11 American wars). Secondly, Hope (in BC, Canada) is a small town, even today. But it is also in a strategic location between the lower mainland (the urbanized Greater Vancouver Area) and the BC Interior (everything else eastward/also where I am from). Today there are two main highways between Vancouver and the BC Interior: the Fraser Canyon, and the Coquihalla Highway. I don't even think the Coquihalla existed until the 1990s, so the Fraser Canyon was the main route for highway traffic during the time this movie was filmed. Hope also branches off into a couple different routes that takes you into the GVA, and today it is maybe an hour drive from GVA, while the Fraser Canyon in the other direction is about 4 hours with a few small villages. So Hope, especially during the 1980s, was an important stop for gassing up.
@@chriswhite950 that's how it was in the book. If Rambo had shown his own medals or had asked him something like "you mean veterans?" when he said that they don't want people like him in the town, it would probably have gone by a lot more peaceful
The wheelie was to hide the stuntman's face as he approaches the camera. You'll notice as he drops it he turns toward the patrol car and looks back forward just before he moves out of shot.
Last sequel of the Rambo franchise ended with Rambo walking down the road. That was one missed upportunity for a cameo, having Teasle pull up with a cruiser and offer him a ride. Not sure if Dennehy would be able to, since he passed away not long after.
Meh, you overlooked the by far biggest sin: The escape scene on the dirt bike motorcycle. It's a Yamaha XT 250, 4 stroke. They silenced the real sound, and added the sound of a 2-stroke moto cross machine. I know, because I have the exact same machine myself.
Ugh, dont ever watch the place beyond the pines. Ryan Gosling's motorcycle in that movie goes from being a two-stroke, to a four stroke, to a 1000cc Superbike. I wish the sound guys would pay a bit more attention to stuff like that it really takes me out of the movie
It's a common mistake in many movies and TV shows featuring motorcycles,cruisers/choppers must have the typical Harley sound,sports bikes must have the inline four sound,and dirt bikes must have the two stroke sound,regardless of what engine the bike shown on screen actually has.
@@ZP1993 Yep, horrible. Don't recall which movie, but a BMW boxer (guess the English word for a boxer is a "flat") with the added, fake sound of a 1000cc inline four. So stupid.
@@MeBallerman I've seen a scene in Yes Man movie where they put the inline four sound on a Ducati, and a scene in a TV show Primeval where they put a two stroke sound on a Honda CRF150.
I'm from Asia, typically the same tropical hell as the Jungle in Vietnam, seriously when gets dark Jungle is really one hell of purgatory out of a nightmare, it's very confusing and dark, so any Green Beret that understands this warfare would be badass at anywhere in the jungle
Dude, that search party scene is clearly the next day. Plenty of time for mobilization and a flight from DC. Jesus. Someone needs to be sinning you at this point.
In the book Teasle barely makes it out alive from the initial pursuit... he gets laid up in the hospital IIRC so yeah, it made sense for Trautman to come out there. And in the book it was pretty clear that Teasle was a kind of tragic hero and Trautman was the bad guy, so it was effective for him to just sort of show up out of thin air like a spook (both bogeyman and CIA).
3:35 - The thing about this scene that sucks is that in the book, he didn't get dressed. they tried shaving him while he was naked and he runs outside all bare-assed which means when he clotheslined the dude off the motorcycle and drove off rocking only his birthday suit which is just hilarious.
5:39 I've heard of people being scared so bad, their hair turned white. In this case, it looks like the reverse happened. The sheriff ended up so stressed and scared from the fall, his hair turned black/brown.
@@electricspider2267 But because of Frozen, "Let It Go." has become irreparably linked to that Disney entry, hence he's sinning it cause it brought up the song...

Richard Thompson I have seen the movie logo on the restaurants. I wonder if they were forced to change it, or some franchisees had just gotten creative.
10:53 I love in a stinky little town and we have 6 gas stations within a 3 block area. There use to be 7 but one closed and they turned it into Subway. If the street is a main tourist highway that isn't that unusual. Meanwhile, a guy escaped police custody where I live, instead of calling out the national guard they went to his mother's house and set up camp across the street, he showed up two days later.
Yeah I always wondered about that Does that town hate America or something? To top it off, he has that field jacket, he looked like an old army guy, maybe a Vietnam veteran. When I was a kid, I knew to respect them.
Paul Kaiser the backstory from the book which is kind of suggested in the movie is the political climate during and after the Vietnam War. Rambo looking like a veteran is exactly why people wouldn’t like him. Many people at the time hated the government and military because they disagreed with America’s involvement in the war. Soldiers were often spit on and met with protests when they returned from the war, even though they didn’t always have a say in whether they were sent to war because of the draft. So what the Sheriff means is that the people of the town don’t respect and most likely hate anyone who fought during Vietnam.
"Don't look at me, look at the road. That's how accidents happen." It's not that Rambo looked like a bum. The jacket and style of patch he was wearing indicated he was a Vietnam vet. Babykillers to one side and war losers to the other, at the time.
Your comment touches upon something most people forget about it, even WWII Veterans and supporters of the war/troops at the time turned on Vietnam vets because they were mad they didn't win the war even though politics made that impossible. I first heard this from a 70 year old Vietnam Vet I meant at the bar.
@@InfernosReaper Another great point, you were called a baby killer from one side if you went to Vietnam and a draft dodging coward from the other side if you were of age and didnt go.
Don't forget the psychological impact Vietnam Veterans, and after. The average age of combat soldiers in country was 18, just boys without a clue what real life was like. WWII, average age was 24. Still young, but old enough to know a little bit about life especially considering those young men experienced the hardships of the Depression, and many volunteered for a chance at a better life.
Objection to the tiny town of Hope having four gas stations... The actual town of Hope, B.C. (in Canada where this was filmed) has a PILE of gas stations because it's on the Trans-Canada Highway and is the last gas stop before going over the Coastal Mountain range. Also, the log arch was real.
That is one of the reasons why I LOVE First Blood. It is the most grounded of the series. It shows the mental illness PTSD in a somewhat realistic way. It's something the previous films threw out the window.
@@homelesshannah50 He made some pretty decent movies before the trash took over entirely. Try Paradise Alley and FIST if you haven't already seen them. First Blood and Rocky had stories to tell, shame to have them associated with crude cash-in franchises.
10:59: For the record, there are plenty of exits along rural zones of I-5 in the Pacific Northwest that have multiple gas stations because they are strategic businesses in a a gasoline desert between bumfuck and nowhere.
Not quire accurate. Teasle didn't know Rambo was a war hero. Rambo in one of his semi-psychotic conversations with himself basically says to himself, "You wanted to show him your medal." It's only later as Teasle goes through a transformation and rediscovers his own manhood that Rambo's heroic exploits become a motivator for Teasle. In the book Teasle is the hero, and by the end Rambo is barely anything but a plot device. The villian of the book is Trautman, as a proxy for the US Military-Industrial complex.
Seriously though, Stallone's acting in the end segment of Rambo is fucking incredible. Intense, passionate and believable. He seriously kills, no pun intended, and it's easily his best role after Rocky.

Yeah that was strange
Sins right away
If anything: Should have removed a sin.
People forget how dramatic and grounded first blood was, due to the over the top action in the rest of the franchise. It's a Rambo movie with only one death!
In the book, Rambo kills all the LEOs in the woods. In the movie, they made him sympathetic.
Same with Rocky, first one is a gritty character based story while the sequels are cheesy formulaic sports movies
And four cops from the squad car in traction.
@@jimmy_the_squid9456 and the First Rocky movie Rocky lost everyone forgets that
Didn't he sort of get that one guy injured then shot and killed by another cop? So 2 sort of. The 1 guys probably never going hiking again too.
If anyone's wondering, the original reasoning for Teasle being a dick to Rambo was present in the book. It was primarily because Teasle had been a Korean War Vet (you can actually see his medals and patches in his office), and was a bit jealous of the Vietnam Vets, as the WW2 Vets were hailed as heroes, and the Vietnam Vets were scorned, but him as his fellow Korea Vets returned to essentially nothing, along with a bit of power tripping over someone he saw as inviting trouble to the town (if not by causing trouble himself, then by inviting other drifters to the town who would inevitably cause trouble)
Teasle also won the medal of honour in the Korean war which was one of the many similarities between him and Rambo!
Korean vets were so disrespectful
So, in the novel it was explained that the sheriff was a Korean War vet and was angry that while the Vietnam Vets got more time and attention and the Korean War vets were pretty much forgotten about. Hope this helps and loved the F/X reference. Maybe that could be a future episode, just saying...
David Strange Viet Nam vets had it bad. now everybody thanks current vets for their service even if they just push a broom
The CinemaSins rule has always been that the books don't count.
Well that's a dumb veteran. I thought most veterans understand and respect other veterans no matter which war they fought in.
@@Fulllife3.2 most people have ego that get in the way of logic and reason
@@Fulllife3.2 The book was much more about "man's inhumanity to man" and the abandonment of our soldiers, with a much bleaker tone and portrayal of BOTH the sheriff and Rambo. So having the Sheriff be a vet who's mad at how WELL treated the Vietnam vets are plays into both of those themes.

Chris Roberts, The movie was not perfect because there was no sex scenes in the movie. Rambo should have railed some big breasted Brunette or Blonde girl in this movie for it to be perfect.
I agree, a great movie for it's time. Now, a movie like this is a dime a dozen, but back in the early 80's, this was cutting edge. Also, back in the 70's and early 80's, military personnel were really looked down upon. That started to change during Reagan's 8 years, but it was still there. I remember I was marching in a parade in Texas in 1995 and we got booed by some of the crowd. Obviously once 9/11 happened, the military has been mostly loved since then. But I think they did a good job to capture how the public used to feel about veterans, which was that they mostly despised them.
Stallones delivery of the speech at the end is one of the highlights of his career.
The emotional trauma that a War Vet has to endure is perfectly portrayed by this performance. Excellent scene
I can assure you with years of living in small mountain towns that the sheriff's portrayal in this movie is 100% lore accurate!

Direhammer, the fact you take the comedy channel Cinemasins seriously is hilarious

*He just wanted a SANDWICH!*
Crazy as it sounds, that is pretty accurate. If Teasle had just left him alone, his friend (Galt) would still be alive & his town wouldn't have been torn to hell.
lol
Well breakfast, ......in which loved ones make and save for him in intro Rambo 5 ( Rambo eats when he is ready to eat )
@@maxiepattie85 haha
Well in the book Rambo did get something to eat. After Teasle kicked him out Rambo went to a diner or someplace. Teasle caught him and even paid for the food. Two burgers. Teasle gave him another ride and he came back just cuz he wanted to defy Teasle.
In the book wasn't entirely sympathetic and Teasle wasn't a complete dick. Rambo had a huge grudge against authority and it is seen throughout the book. And he was a killer before being sent to Vietnam.
Just wrong. It should be "Everything right with First Blood" and then a full video of the film.

Actually in a small American town is precisely where one would find every breed of hunting dog imaginable.

That's actually a really good point. You would have people with all the varieties of hunting dog. You win the internet for today.
Who the hell uses Dobermans as hunting dogs, especially in Canada?
Every breed of dog in general from mutts to French Mastiffs.
Not only that, they can BRING IN dogs from OTHER police departments, mainly Bloodhounds.
And a Labrador will find ANYTHING you tell them to.
Funfact: Something like this ACTUALLY HAPPENED in Germany recently. A man called Yves Rausch disarmed 4 police officers using nothing but a bow and basically the entire German police was hunting him down for weeks in the Schwarzwald forest. So it's actually not all that insane to think the cops would mobilize in that time and those numbers because of such an incident.
Ulnlike Rambo, Rausch has commited several crimes.
@@Berek71182injuring police officers and destroying half the city is also a crime
@@sskspartan true, but Rambo was asking "why are you pushing me, I didn't do anything", then one cop uses a stick to pummel him to the ground (from behind), then he has a shaving knife held right in his face with the cop saying "hold still I don't want you to cut your own throat" The same time a GOOD cop, (maybe the only good one there) say "how blind are you, can't you see this man is crazy", to which the other cop says "I don't give a sh*t", looks to me like they were pushing and mocking and physically hurting Rambo step by step to where he could take no more.
I remember asking my dad why the cop was being such an ass to Rambo. He said at the time Vietnam vets were not very popular coming home. Many homeless vets were cast out of towns and shunned due to people thinking they “lost the war.”
Pretty sad and shitty how people can turn their backs on those who served.
It was also a small town thing too. I've seen it growing up, where one small town ended up being a haven of drifters just hanging out, giving the locals shit, especially back in the day. The cop probably was trying to prevent that..in a dickish way.
But that doesn't make any sense since the public wanted to end the war.
Thanks for the explanation. Now I better understand the movie. Why was Rambo shooting up the town though?
@@KhanMann66 some people got shit just for BEING in. Even today, someone called me a piece of shit for going over to Iraq.
With information, it's stil up for interpretation.
Some people believed in the war and therefore are willing to help vets.
Some poeple understand that people who are in may not have so much information and just follow orders. They sympathize.
Some people blame those who join and shit on them for making such a decision.
And some vets, though it may be PTSD..but it comes off as "He/She thinks they are better than me just because they joined...some vets get on people's nerves...a lot. And for some people, I represent all of those.
The soldiers weren't blamed for losing the war. They were blamed for fighting. I was too young to really have an opinion of the Vietnam war, and with the exception of the initial invasion to kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan I have disagreed with every US conflict since. I have never blamed the soldiers, though, and at this point we've moved to an all-volunteer military.
That last scene when Rambo talks about his PTSD always makes me choke up a little.
Easily the best scene.
That scene alone should have removed way more than just one sin 🙄
Chels Thiruselvam you could understand that?
I remember when this movie first came out, and a lot of veterans wrote in to our local paper complaining that it made vets look like a bunch a deranged losers.
@Frank Pitts it shows that A veteran has PTSD. One. Singular.
There was no dialogue about any members of his team having the same trouble,. Nor was Trautman, who served alongside Rambo, portrayed as being anything but calm and level-headed. A single character in a single situation does not perpetuate a myth.
Unless you're an idiot with the reasoning of a small child.

Dat dead meme Aneurysplotions are no joke man.
Shame this wasn't Rambo II. Sylvester's brother Frank Stallone singing the song at the end of the movie is a sin ripe for the picking lol
"I don't care how noisy these military trucks are on the inside, you would definitely hear the sound of a grown-ass man jumping on top of it." Wrong, cinema sins, wrong.
You can barely hear anyone talking when sitting next to someone in the back. You have to shout, and with items banging and shifting around, odds are, even if you heard it, you wouldn't suspect a person jumping from 15' on the hillside of a road onto it.
They were so loud that drivers were ordered to wear ear protection. We had two of those old trucks in my reserve unit.
I was in the guard no you would not care or listen or stop you probably be thinking this sucks I been at work all week now I got to play Army for like 180 bucks for the next 2 days thats what would be on my mind anyway!
Also, it wouldn't have changed the outcome at all.
When Stallone says “get out of the way” while riding the motorcycle I realized that is probably the only time he isn’t mumbling, talking slowly, or talking quietly
What about his rant at the end of the movie...?
And even then it was dubbed over
What confused me about this movie was near the beginning, when Teasle gave Rambo a ride through town; Rambo says he's going north so Teasle supposedly drives him north. Then Rambo says he's going to Portland, in which Teasle points out is south. Yet when Teasle drops off Rambo at the bridge, Teasle says 'Portland, straight ahead'. That makes no sense. Did they do a U-turn somewhere in the middle of town and start driving south?
That tels Teasle doesn't really care, plot mistake or intentionally
Dont think Teasle gave a shit, he just wanted him gone.
He wanted him gone
@@Smedley-d2l yup
I think it was more of a joke from the sheriff. I think he was making a smart ass comment about Portland.

Teasel was a Korean War Vet and that was called “The forgotten war”. Rambo was a Vietnam Vet. I’m sure that had something to do with the hate Teasel felt for Rambo which is why he pushed Rambo so far.

I like how Teasle is worried that with Rambo entering his town, they'll soon have a whole bunch of vagrants. What is he afraid Rambo will do? Tell his friends??? Because everyone knows how social and communicating vagrants are.
In the book it goes more in beph about a sort of rivalry where Korean vets like the sherif look down on Vietnam war vets for giving all war vets bad rep. My take from the book in a nutshell.
It's true.
I got the book as well.
The documentary series, 'South Park' shows how it happens.

@@JamesSmith-ho7kg,
Been arrested for vagrancy in a lot of small towns, have you?
1. He was a Korea vet, and didn't like Vietnam vets. It was basically a "my war has a bigger d*** than your war" issue.
2. They actually used to hose off people like that. Because of body lice mostly. Stallone said in the commentary it was extremely unpleasant. The hose pressure was just as high as it looks, and it kept blowing off the scar makeup. So they had to keep reshooting it.
3. The movie takes place in the 70s. The novel was written in 72, so it may even be set in the 60s.
4. It's a lumber town, they have to deal with lumberjacks. Stallone told a funny story in the commentary about going into a lumberjack bar and ordering some high class drink that shattered any pretense he had to be being as bad a** as he looked, and booking it because things were getting tense with the locals.
5. Those are hunting dogs. People in rural areas hunt.
6. The stuff in the woods takes place at night. Everything else happens the next day. I wont deny that the movie has some issues with making the timeline clear, but it isn't so bad that you can't tell that the first day takes place starting in the afternoon, they try to track him down around dusk and into the night. Everything else happens the second day.
7. The gas stations are there to support all the trucks. It's also on a main highway, and people stop to get gas when they're driving along highways.
Perfect explanation... Bravo 👍
But as someone said--Why would anyone keep Dobermans to hunt? Bloodhounds, maybe, or some sort of retriever, but Dobermans?
Even the scene where Teasle thought he shot Rambo is reasonable. It was dark the flash from the round would have blinded him.
Very much wrong about being a Korean War vet, he was part of (MACV-SOG) Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group as a Long-range Reconnaissance patrol unit commanded by Colonel Trautman called "Baker Team." All this information is easily found. Also read the book. Get your wars right.
@@djmattyice6569 I think Ryan Murphy meant that Teasle ws a Korea vet, not Rambo.

First Blood: Best movie
Rambo First Blood Part II: Personal favorite
Rambo III: Just have fun with it
Rambo: HOLY SHIT!!!
Rambo Last Blood: Check it out in theaters, folks!
abridgedfan100 seen them all, last blood is brutal
I couldn't agree more with your take on all the films. First Blood is a really good movie but II is a guilty pleasure of mine. I saw it a couple days after my high school commencement ceremony in 1985, so it holds a special place in my heart. After seeing Sly running through Mexico where this was filmed w/his perfectly fit, Franco Columbo (RIP) trained body, I bought a weight set from the local Montgomery Ward and started lifting weights. The film is essentially a cartoon, comic book and drips w/80s cheese but I love it. Stallone has said he hates it the most out of all the films. It is an action film that still holds up today.
As some one who lives in a tiny town, it is perfectly normal for there to be that many gas stations right next to each other. It's nothing but diners and gas stations.
I reckon it has to do with zoning and land-use regulations. The gas stations are clustered because they can't go anywhere else.
Makes me think of Breezewood, PA. Anyone who has been through there knows what I am talking about. Nothing but a couple mile strip of gas stations, motels, and restaurants for travelers near where several expressways converge.
You are right, I lived right near hope and drove past those everyday for work. 3 major highways branch out from there and you gotta drive by hope to get out of the lower mainland
Perfectly normal no just your tiny town and 1000 others along or just off a major highway
@@raymee1015 you got it!!! Ding ding explain your comments with a little context people. Great comment
0:57 The most probable explanation is that the arch was built to commemorate the town's centennial.
Or... probably it took them that much time to build the arch.
I appreciate that you removed a sin for the scene near the end where Rambo breaks down, I respect that.
The only real Sin in this movie was that Rambo only killed ONE person.. He definitely should have murdered the Sheriff!
Who did he kill? I thought he only killed the dogs.
I assume he's blaming him for the cop who falls from the helicopter after losing his balance when Rambo throws a rock at him.
Ah, that's what I thought. Not terribly fair, but okay.
Johnny rambo didn't really murder anyone - they had it in for him with their doberman hunting dogs that were trained to kill not sniff and arrest besides, their handler didn't even look to be a cop 👮
Johnny rambo took out 2 city cops 👮 👮 - the city law enforcement agency officer 👮 nearby the dogs plus officer Galt 👮 though, johnny rambo was using self defence tactics
The underlying theme of this movie is that the cop is a Korean war vet, and I guess at that time there was a lot of resentment from the Great War generation at how Vietnam war vets lost the war; conversely, the Vietnam vet was also a highly trained and experienced commando who had severe PTSD from fighting in an unwinnable war. It's actually a strong criticism on war, and perhaps American imperialism, that still holds true even today (especially after watching the post 9/11 American wars).
Secondly, Hope (in BC, Canada) is a small town, even today. But it is also in a strategic location between the lower mainland (the urbanized Greater Vancouver Area) and the BC Interior (everything else eastward/also where I am from). Today there are two main highways between Vancouver and the BC Interior: the Fraser Canyon, and the Coquihalla Highway. I don't even think the Coquihalla existed until the 1990s, so the Fraser Canyon was the main route for highway traffic during the time this movie was filmed. Hope also branches off into a couple different routes that takes you into the GVA, and today it is maybe an hour drive from GVA, while the Fraser Canyon in the other direction is about 4 hours with a few small villages. So Hope, especially during the 1980s, was an important stop for gassing up.

Justification should never be necessary when you are not breaking any laws.

In the book Teasle barely makes it out alive from the initial pursuit... he gets laid up in the hospital IIRC so yeah, it made sense for Trautman to come out there. And in the book it was pretty clear that Teasle was a kind of tragic hero and Trautman was the bad guy, so it was effective for him to just sort of show up out of thin air like a spook (both bogeyman and CIA).
And even MORE than enough time to bring in MORE DOGS.

3:35 - The thing about this scene that sucks is that in the book, he didn't get dressed. they tried shaving him while he was naked and he runs outside all bare-assed which means when he clotheslined the dude off the motorcycle and drove off rocking only his birthday suit which is just hilarious.

*See also: "Everything wrong with 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'"
@@electricspider2267 that makes sense to me and I hate these guys except for tge fact that they seeem to be the only other ones in the world who realize how every fast and the furious movie is a joyless abortion on film!
@@SavageDawgJoshua yeah that one too they should have never done but while many are ridiculous and lacking in common sense they get some good quips
@@aaronbradley3232 Naw, I consider it "challenge accepted". He can't ALWAYS do just bad movies. The hard part is sinning the best.
You have never heard of Godfather’s Pizza? It was great!
Want to take a guess who saved Godfather Pizza from extinction? Herman Cain.
Studa Baker yep! Closed like 200 stores and put thousands out of work.
I remember actually going to a godfathers pizza specifically when I was a kid their pizzas were the best
But they had a very different logo
Richard Thompson I have seen the movie logo on the restaurants. I wonder if they were forced to change it, or some franchisees had just gotten creative.
You didn't know Godfathers Pizza is a pizza franchise. I love it.
We have one in atl
I heard they got the idea from seeing it in this movie.
10:53 I love in a stinky little town and we have 6 gas stations within a 3 block area. There use to be 7 but one closed and they turned it into Subway. If the street is a main tourist highway that isn't that unusual.
Meanwhile, a guy escaped police custody where I live, instead of calling out the national guard they went to his mother's house and set up camp across the street, he showed up two days later.
Hope is prime tourist highway, it basically the prime stopping point between Vancouver and the Okanagan,
Rambo first blood was the best movie of the Rambo saga.
By far. I'd say it's the only one that's worth watching.
+20 year old movie: *gets sequel*
Cinemasins: *heavy breathing*
This is totally a low key Christmas movie! Police station, bar scene & the town r decked out!
Its kinda fun to hear Jeremy about a movie he actually likes
He mentions him wearing a American Flag and all the cops have an American Flag on their uniforms.
Bulldog9mm5.56 yeah I thought that was kind of strange. Maybe the town hates trump and white nationalism? Nope don’t think that’s it 😂😂😂👍🇺🇸
Yeah I always wondered about that
Does that town hate America or something?
To top it off, he has that field jacket, he looked like an old army guy, maybe a Vietnam veteran. When I was a kid, I knew to respect them.
Oh yeah, all the ones I knew and met were really nice anyway.
Paul Kaiser the backstory from the book which is kind of suggested in the movie is the political climate during and after the Vietnam War. Rambo looking like a veteran is exactly why people wouldn’t like him. Many people at the time hated the government and military because they disagreed with America’s involvement in the war. Soldiers were often spit on and met with protests when they returned from the war, even though they didn’t always have a say in whether they were sent to war because of the draft. So what the Sheriff means is that the people of the town don’t respect and most likely hate anyone who fought during Vietnam.
@@abigailcurry4622 Now, this comment should have more 👍. This explains a lot, and for this I thank you. 😉
"Don't look at me, look at the road. That's how accidents happen."
It's not that Rambo looked like a bum. The jacket and style of patch he was wearing indicated he was a Vietnam vet. Babykillers to one side and war losers to the other, at the time.
Your comment touches upon something most people forget about it, even WWII Veterans and supporters of the war/troops at the time turned on Vietnam vets because they were mad they didn't win the war even though politics made that impossible. I first heard this from a 70 year old Vietnam Vet I meant at the bar.
The worst part is most of them didn't even get a choice. The draft should be ruled unconstitutional for violating the 13th amendment.
@@InfernosReaper Another great point, you were called a baby killer from one side if you went to Vietnam and a draft dodging coward from the other side if you were of age and didnt go.
yep
Don't forget the psychological impact Vietnam Veterans, and after. The average age of combat soldiers in country was 18, just boys without a clue what real life was like. WWII, average age was 24. Still young, but old enough to know a little bit about life especially considering those young men experienced the hardships of the Depression, and many volunteered for a chance at a better life.
Objection to the tiny town of Hope having four gas stations... The actual town of Hope, B.C. (in Canada where this was filmed) has a PILE of gas stations because it's on the Trans-Canada Highway and is the last gas stop before going over the Coastal Mountain range. Also, the log arch was real.
Shit I never knew First Blood was a Christmas movie...
Rambo vs Billy from Silent Night, Deadly Night
Should’ve sinned the flashback with the NVA officer who was torturing Rambo coz he was speaking Cantonese, not Vietnamese........
killbot86 could have been a Chinese soldier. I’m pretty sure the CCP sent officers to Vietnam
@@harrisonfuller5015 Then they would have spoke Mandarin, although not likely.
That monologue towards the end, oh man. I watched this movie 3 days ago and I almost cried because of it
Great movie, great acting, great action, great location and a wonderful soundtrack. On top of that it has historical relevance.
"Wait. No logos? Nothing to sin in the first few minutes?" * Ding * Me: WTF?
You really don’t get it do you ??? SMH
What is the point of this channel?
I hoping you would show more of his final speech and mental breakdown. But I am happy you pointed out how good his acting is at the end.
I think the ONLY good performance Stallone gave, it was even better than Rocky
That is one of the reasons why I LOVE First Blood. It is the most grounded of the series. It shows the mental illness PTSD in a somewhat realistic way.
It's something the previous films threw out the window.
@@isaacgleeth3609 the ending is even more poignant when you remember that the original cut he committed suicide in the end.
@@willowscottling Demolition Man. A silly movie but he has such Charisma in that film.
@@homelesshannah50 He made some pretty decent movies before the trash took over entirely. Try Paradise Alley and FIST if you haven't already seen them. First Blood and Rocky had stories to tell, shame to have them associated with crude cash-in franchises.
Hope is an intersection between a couple of different highways (Hwy 1 & 3), so ya, 4 gas stations at the time was legit.
Godfather Pizza has been a Pacific Northwest pizza chain for as long as I can remember.
Jerry Goldsmith’s terrific score deserves a sin off by itself
Jerry Goldsmith made so many movies so much better.
"Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend..."
THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"That's not the first time you described your life in the way of John Rambo's."
One of the best classic action movies ever made.
5:30 "Wait, that fucking worked?!?!"....LMAO
" THEY JUST FOUND
RAMBO'S BODY
IN FACT
IT JUST STOLE A TRUCK "

I GOT KILLED IN
DEATH WISH 3
IT WAS GLORIOUS
@MrGunboat78
YEP
10:59: For the record, there are plenty of exits along rural zones of I-5 in the Pacific Northwest that have multiple gas stations because they are strategic businesses in a a gasoline desert between bumfuck and nowhere.
In Teasle's backstory he was also in the military and jealous that Rambo was seen as a hero and he didn't get the same respect
Teasle was a Korean War veteran.
Not quire accurate. Teasle didn't know Rambo was a war hero. Rambo in one of his semi-psychotic conversations with himself basically says to himself, "You wanted to show him your medal." It's only later as Teasle goes through a transformation and rediscovers his own manhood that Rambo's heroic exploits become a motivator for Teasle. In the book Teasle is the hero, and by the end Rambo is barely anything but a plot device. The villian of the book is Trautman, as a proxy for the US Military-Industrial complex.
Rambo blows his own brains out in the book
"Cool,, looks like Rambo ALSO use to work at a pastry shop before joining the hunger games!"
😂🤣🤣😭👍
