Editorial Review:
First Blood is the Sylvester Stallone film that unleashed "Rambo" onto an unsuspecting world. Wandering into a small hostile town ex-Green Beret John Rambo (Stallone) is targeted for persecution and abuse by potbellied Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy). When he can stand no more Rambo goes bonkers killing a deputy and heading into the surrounding hills armed to the teeth. Only after Rambo has picked off practically every law enforcement officer within a radius of 50 miles do the local authorities bring in his former commanding officer Trautman (Richard Crenna) for advise. Trautman's response that the locals had better get a lot of body bags ready is hardly encouraging. First Blood proved to be one of Stallone's biggest non-Rocky hits. Kirk Douglas had originally been cast as Trautman but he ankled the project when the producers refused to cave in to Douglas' demand that Trautman kill Rambo in the finale. ~ Hal Erickson All Movie GuideSystem Requirements:Run Time: 96 minsFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 012236191575 Manufacturer No: 19157

Description of First Blood [Blu-ray]:
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

1st Blood
2008-08-13 - I still love and enjoy this movie everytime I watch it. Thanks to blu ray technology, it got so much better. Big improvement with the picture quality and sound. A great addition to your movie library. I recommend it. Enjoy!

Involving survivalist flick
2008-08-08 - Although the next two Rambo movies get progressively sillier, this is a good movie that has a surprisingly moving finale.
Apart from the bull headed attitudes of the local cops, we see a veteran who is a genuine guy. And we see him hurting. The final scenes, after tremendous destruction and skills with violence, are thought provoking and emotional.
A surprisingly thoughtful movie.

Pretty good action movie.
2008-07-11 - This is a pretty good action movie. Now you probably know that considering the title First Blood. But this movie is not only decent, violent, and cool, but it stars one the greatest actors ever, Sylvester Stallone. Now, this movie isn't my favorite, or the greatest action movie ever. But it has enough violence for you to like it, for those who like violence. It's not a total blood body count shooter like Scarface or The Punisher. You've probably even already seen this. It's sort of a classic. So, I really wouldn't consider this movie a top notch shooting movie. But it's a pretty good action film. I really liked it when I saw it. Any movie with guns in it has to be a good action film right? Yeh. If you know and seen the Rocky movies, imagine the Italion Stallion as John Rambo, an Ex-Green Beret congreshonal (I don't know how to spell it) medal of honor winner Vietnam Vet, returns to the states to find all his friends from the war. When he enters a small town, an officer sees his outfit and doesn't want people like him in his town, the officer insults Rambo, and starts to piss him off. When Rambo can't take any more s__t, he starts to piss off the cop, and is wrongly accused and arrested. At the department, the officers abuse him witch gives him flashbacks of Vietnam, bad flashbacks. After Rambo has had enought, he breaks free and goes completly insane with madness. Breaking out of the department, Rambo steals a motorcycle and takes off into the woods, followed by police cars. Now in the woods, Rambo is being hunted by the officers, and decides to play a little game with them. Rambo sets up traps and captures them all, but decides to spare them if they spare him. Back in the town, when Rambo's old Colonal, Colonal Trautmen arrives to try and lure back Rambo downtown, they decide to bring in the National Guard to try and get him down their. So, it's a pretty decent movie, if you haven't seen it, go ahead, it's not bad.
