My friend and I were in high school and under 18 so we were worried we wouldn't be allowed in, but they didn't give us a second look. I loved that movie and at the time it was unlike anything I had seen before. That started a great time for men's action movies of the 80's from companies like Carolco and Golan-Globas with Chris H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05527860799077915606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-39866243488678005302015-03-07T17:45:25.349-06:002015-03-07T17:45:25.349-06:00(That should say “too tired.”)(That should say “too tired.”)Felicity Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983958177951363405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-91146404328917934752015-03-07T17:44:47.486-06:002015-03-07T17:44:47.486-06:00First Blood is my favourite of the original trilog...<i>First Blood</i> is my favourite of the original trilogy. There are already tons of movies where a heroic soldier goes into the jungle or the desert to rescue friends or POWs, but not as many about emotionally-wounded vets coming home and finding no welcome in America. <i>First Blood</i> takes that to an extreme by making it Rambo <i>versus</i> America!<br /><br /><i>First Blood</i> also has Felicity Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983958177951363405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-81950989092109115162013-03-28T09:00:23.313-05:002013-03-28T09:00:23.313-05:00I'm about 40% through the ebook of this title....I'm about 40% through the ebook of this title.

I just find it so naive and goofy, and in its own way more unreleastic than the later Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-67488971784468638792013-03-26T16:20:47.248-05:002013-03-26T16:20:47.248-05:00Trautmann kills Rambo, sort of:

Loved Rocky III but Rambo and Rocky IV felt forced as if Stallone was determined to make as close to the same movie, over and over. Obviously I'm in a minority and both those movies were huge.<br /><br />Loved the movie of First Blood too. In retrospect it's probably closer to Dan_Lufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096055160420981482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-34801068617110134492013-03-25T12:27:14.217-05:002013-03-25T12:27:14.217-05:00Well, seeing as how Rambo is MALE (and being one m...Well, seeing as how Rambo is MALE (and being one myself), I already figured he masterbated. <br /><br />Just think how much more psychotic he'd be if he DIDN'T masterbate.muskrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823250491750881790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-49283572154705863502013-03-25T12:08:16.823-05:002013-03-25T12:08:16.823-05:00so, RAMBO III novelization (also by Morrell, no?) ...so, RAMBO III novelization (also by Morrell, no?) next?Blofeld's Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508627934434925198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-6988002143642848222013-03-25T10:06:43.002-05:002013-03-25T10:06:43.002-05:00I don't have your back on FIRST BLOOD being th...I don't have your back on FIRST BLOOD being the least of the films, but, yeah, RAMBO II (why not?) is a really good action movie and a lot better than the best action movie released this decade, whatever that may be (THE AVENGERS?). <br /><br />It's worth noting (and you may know this), Trautman *did* kill Rambo in the FIRST BLOOD film.
