First Blood (Special Edition)
It's easy to forget that this Spartan, violent film, which begat the Rambo series, was such a big hit in 1982 because it was a good movie. Green Beret vet John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into the wrong small town to find a fellow 'Nam buddy and gets the living heck kicked out of him by the local law enforcement (led by Brian Dennehy). The vet strikes back the only way he knows how, leading to a visceral, if unrealistic, flight and fight through the local mountains. Based on the 1972 novel by David Morrell, this film saved Stallone's then-foundering career and the Rambo character became the inspiration for countless political cartoons. But this film is Deliverance without the moral ambiguity. --Keith Simanton more

"Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. "
Sylvester Stallone achieved amazing heights during the 80's, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger, especially as a movie character synonymous with the muscled guy who is a pure fighting machine...In Ted Kotcheff's "First Blood," John Rambo (Stallone) is a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who was...

I love this movie
I've always loved First Blood since i was a kid, awesome story, but the VHS was so poopy and the DVD looked the same. I couldn't believe how good the Blu-Ray is; it looks like a movie... you can see all their faces and you really get pulled into it again.

no Ranbo, on I no IV no III , just First Blood
This is a truly unique movie that quickly became obscured due to the later sequels. It tells the story of a man who survived one hell, only to return home despised and forsaken because of it. There was a time when America didn't quite know what to think of the lost war, and so it was forgotten -...

I suppose I just didn't get it
So I'm an adult now, just turned 20 six months ago. And my first exposure to John Rambo was with "Rambo" I saw on DVD. Not only was I impressed by the goriest action sequence I've ever seen ever in a movie, but also impressed by how Rambo is solidly portrayed.So I figure if I liked it so much,...

When in doubt, kill
Rambo is a classic action flick, flawlessly simple yet swarming with underlying themes that push it to the edge. The story of a wandering Vietnam vet who walks into a small, quiet town in Washington in search of his last remaining friend never reaches a happy ending. Upon discovering that his...
