Synopsis

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 advice. 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 quit the project when the producers refused to cave in to his demand that Trautman kill Rambo in the finale. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Posted by: from Virginia - "the swing state" on 10/03/2008Ok.. once you load the disc and see this floating knife in a forest you may think the movie is going to suck, but it doesnt. The transfer to blu ray is quite good. I was very pleased. The opening credits appear very crisp and vibrant and the film is greatly improved from previous dvd releases. The blu ray has a great commentary with Stallone. This blu ray sells at a budget price. I highly recommend getting it if you are a fan on Rambo!

Posted by: from Louisville Ky on 05/23/2008THIS MOVIE IS THE START OF A SERIES THAT IS AN ALL AMERICAN LEGENDARY EPIC THAT STARTS WITH A BANG AND ENDS WITH A BANG. THIS MOVIE STARS THE ALL TIME BEST ROCK HARD ,COLD STARE, TOUGH MAN IN MOVIE HISTORY. SYLVESTER STALLONE BLOWS IT AWAY IN THIS ONE. (LITERALLY) HAHA! THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR THE RAMBO SERIES TO MAKE SENSE. IF YOU LOVE GREAT ACTION AND WATCHING THE ULTIMATE FORCE TO BE RECOND WITH JOHN RAMBO THEN THIS FILM WILL LEAVE YOU COMPLETELY ENTERTAINED. IF YOU WERE NOT A STALLONE FAN BEFORE THIS FILM, YOU WILL BE AFTER WATCHING THIS MASTERPIECE!

Forget It If you Already Have on Dvd

Posted by: from on 04/22/2008Almost a carbon copy of the most recent standard definition dvd incarnation, The mildly improved image here, which by the way will only be noticeable on a large widescreen hi-def tv, hardly makes this one worth the price of rebuying. Skip it.
