First Blood (also known as Rambo and Rambo: First Blood) is a 1982 American actionthriller film directed by Ted Kotcheff. It was co-written by and starred Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam veteran who must rely on his combat and survival senses against the abusive law enforcement of a small town. It is based on David Morrell's 1972 novel of the same name and is the first installment of the Rambo franchise. Brian Dennehy and Richard Crenna also appear in the film as supporting roles.

The film was released in the United States on October 22, 1982. Despite initial mixed reviews, the film was a box office success, grossing $125.2 million at the box office. Since its release, First Blood has received reappraisal from critics, with many praising the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre. The film's success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels (all of which were co-written by and starred Stallone), an animated series, comic books, novels, and a Bollywood remake.

A fifth film, tentatively titled Rambo: Last Stand, was cancelled in January 2016 when Stallone stated that he was retiring the character.[4] In May 2018, a revised fifth film titled Rambo: Last Blood[5] was announced, and is scheduled for a fall 2019 release.[6]

Plot[edit]

Seven years after his discharge, Vietnam War veteran John Rambo travels by foot to visit an old comrade, only to learn his friend has died from cancer due to Agent Orange exposure during the war.

Rambo continues to travel, wandering into the small town of Hope, Washington. He is intercepted by the town's Sheriff, Will Teasle, who considers Rambo an unwanted nuisance. When Rambo asks for directions to a diner, Teasle drives him out of town and tells him not to come back. After Rambo returns, Teasle arrests him on charges of vagrancy, resisting arrest, and possessing a concealed knife.

Led by chief deputy Art Galt, Teasle's officers abuse Rambo, triggering flashbacks of the torture he endured as a POW in Vietnam. When they try to dry-shave him with a straight razor, Rambo overwhelms the patrolmen, regains his knife, and fights his way outside, stealing a motorcycle and fleeing into the woods. Teasle organizes a search party with automatic weapons, dogs, and a helicopter. It is revealed that Rambo is a former Green Beret and received the Medal of Honor. Galt defies orders and attempts to shoot Rambo from the helicopter. Trapped on a high cliff over a creek, Rambo leaps into a tree, injuring himself. He throws a rock, fracturing the helicopter's windshield; the pilot's sudden reaction causes Galt to lose his balance and fall to his death.

Rambo tries to persuade Teasle and his men that Galt’s death was an accident and that he wants no more trouble, but the officers open fire and pursue him into the woods. Rambo disables the deputies non-lethally until only Teasle is left. Holding a knife to his throat, Rambo tells him he could have killed them all and threatens to fight back with greater force if Teasle does not let him go.

The state police and national guard are called in to assist in the manhunt, while Rambo's mentor and former commanding officer Colonel Sam Trautman also arrives. Warning of Rambo's combat skills, which were put to good use in Vietnam, Trautman advises that Rambo be allowed to slip through to be recaptured safely later. Confident that Rambo is hopelessly outnumbered, Teasle refuses. Teasle allows Trautman to contact Rambo – on a police radio he stole while escaping – and try to persuade him to surrender peacefully. Rambo recognizes Trautman’s voice but refuses to give up, condemning Teasle and his deputies for their abuse and noting, 'They drew first blood', before hanging up.

A National Guard detachment corners Rambo at the entrance of an abandoned mine. Against orders, they use a rocket, collapsing the entrance and seemingly killing Rambo. He survives, and finds another way out, hijacking a supply truck carrying an M60 machine gun and ammunition and returning to town. To distract his pursuers, he blows up a gas station, shoots out most of the town's power, and destroys a gun store near the police station.

Rambo spots Teasle on the police station’s roof and they engage in a brief gunfight, ending with Teasle shot and falling through a skylight. As Rambo prepares to kill him, Trautman arrives and warns Rambo that he will be shot if he does not surrender, reminding him he is the last survivor of his elite unit of Green Berets. Rambo collapses in tears and talks about his experience in Vietnam and after his return. Teasle is transported to a hospital, while Rambo surrenders to Trautman and is taken into custody.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Ted Kotcheff had been approached with the project in 1976. He only returned to work on First Blood after Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna of Anabasis Investments offered to finance one of his projects. Kotcheff offered the role of John Rambo to Sylvester Stallone, and the actor accepted after reading the script through a weekend.[7]

Casting[edit]

When David Morrell wrote the novel, which was published in 1972, the producers first considered Steve McQueen but then rejected him because they considered him too old to play a Vietnam veteran from 1975.[8]

For the role of Sheriff Teasle, the producers approached Academy Award winners Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall but both turned the part down. Lee Marvin, another Oscar winner, turned down the part of Colonel Trautman. Kirk Douglas was eventually hired, but just before shooting began, Douglas quit the role of Colonel Trautman over a script dispute; Douglas wanted the film to end as the book did (Rambo and Teasle fatally wound each other, Trautman finishes Rambo with a kill shot then sits with the dying Teasle for the sheriff’s final moments). Rock Hudson was approached but was soon to undergo heart surgery and had to pass up the chance to work with Stallone. Richard Crenna was quickly hired as a replacement; the role of Trautman became the veteran character actor's most famous role, his performance of which received much critical praise.[7]

Screenplay[edit]

Various scripts adapted from Morrell's book had been pitched to studios in the years since its publication but it was only when Stallone decided to become involved with the project that it was finally brought into production. Stallone's star power after the success of the Rocky films enabled him to rewrite the script, to make the character of John Rambo more sympathetic. While Morrell's book has the Rambo character kill many of his pursuers, and Kozoll and Sackheim's draft had him killing sixteen people, in the movie Rambo does not directly cause the death of any police or national guardsmen. Stallone also decided to let Rambo survive the film instead of keeping the book's ending where he dies. A suicide scene was filmed but Kotcheff and Stallone opted to have Rambo turn himself in at Trautman's urging.[7] Stallone did an estimated seven revisions of the script. Kotcheff requested further work be done on the script, which was performed by Larry Gross and David Giler.

Shooting[edit]

The film was shot in British Columbia, Canada in the winter.[7] The town scenes in the movie were shot in Hope and the nearby Othello Tunnels, called Chapman Gorge in the film,[9] while the rest of the movie was shot in Golden Ears Provincial Park and Pitt Lake in Pitt Meadows. The weaponry used in the film had to be imported into Canada. Over 50 of the imported firearms were stolen midway through the filming.[10][11]

Post-production[edit]

The first rough cut was over three hours, possibly three and a half hours long and according to Sylvester Stallone, it was so bad that it made him and his agent sick. Stallone wanted to buy the movie and destroy it thinking that it was a career killer. After heavy re-editing, the film was cut down to 93 minutes; this version was ultimately released in theaters.[12] The ending used in the finished film was shot in March 1982, after the original one was deemed unsatisfactory.[13]

Music[edit]

The film's score was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, whose theme 'It's a Long Road' added a new dimension to the character, and featured in the film's three sequels and animated spin-off. The soundtrack was originally released on LP by the Regency label, although it was edited out of sequence for a more satisfying listen. The album was reissued on CD with one extra track ('No Power') twice, first as one of Intrada Records' initial titles, then as an identical release by Varèse Sarabande. The complete score was released by Intrada in a 2-CD set, along with a remastered version of the original album (with the Carolco logo [previously released on La-La Land Records' Extreme Prejudice album] and the Rambo: First Blood Part II trailer music added), on November 23, 2010, as one of their MAF unlimited titles.

Release[edit]

Box office performance[edit]

First Blood topped the North American box office for three weeks in a row,[14] and its $6,642,005 opening weekend was the best October opening at the time.[7] The film ended as a significant financial success, with a total gross of $47 million domestically, ranking as the 13th highest-grossing film of the year,[15] and $125 million worldwide, against a $14 million budget.[16]

Critical reception and legacy[edit]

First Blood originally received generally mixed reviews, with several critics noting that the plot lacks any sense of credibility.[17]Variety called the film 'a mess' and criticized its ending for not providing a proper resolution for the main character.[18] More recently, Leonard Maltin gave the film one-and a half stars out of four, saying that it 'throws all credibility to the winds about the time [Rambo] gets off with only a bad cut after jumping from a mountain into some jagged rocks'.[19]In 2008, First Blood was named the 253rd greatest film ever by Empire magazine on its 2008 list of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.[20]

Contemporary and retrospective reviews of the film have been positive, and it is considered by many as one of the best films of 1982.[21][22][23][24]First Blood's release on DVD sparked a series of contemporary reviews, earning it an 88% 'Certified Fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes[25] and a score of 62 ('generally favorable') from Metacritic.[17]

The film's three lead actors received much praise for their performances. In his review, Roger Ebert wrote that he did not like the film's ending, but that it was 'a very good movie, well-paced, and well-acted not only by Stallone .. but also by Crenna and Brian Dennehy'. He commented, 'although almost all of First Blood is implausible, because it's Stallone on the screen, we'll buy it', and rated the film three out of four stars.[26] In 2000, BBC film critic Almar Haflidason noted that Stallone's training in survival skills and hand-to-hand combat gave the film 'a raw and authentic edge that excited the audiences of the time'.[27]James Berardinelli of ReelViews called the film 'a tense and effective piece of filmmaking'. He noted that the film's darker tone, somber subtext, and non-exploitative violence allowed the viewer to enjoy the film not only as an action/thriller but as something with a degree of intelligence and substance. On Stallone's performance, he wrote 'it seems impossible to imagine anyone other than Stallone in the part, and his capabilities as an actor should not be dismissed'.[28]

First Blood has received the most positive reception of the Rambo series, while the next three sequels received mixed or average reviews; however, the sequels still developed strong cult followings.[29][30][31]

In a 2011 article for Blade Magazine, by Mike Carter, credit is given to Morrell and the Rambo franchise for revitalizing the cutlery industry in the 1980s; due to the presence of the Jimmy Lile and Gil Hibben knives used in the films. In 2003, Blade Magazine gave Morrell an industry achievement award for having helped to make it possible.[32]

Home media[edit]

Author Morrell recorded an audio commentary track for the First Blood Special Edition DVD released in 2002. Actor Stallone recorded an audio commentary track for the First Blood Ultimate Edition DVD released in 2004. This edition also includes a 'never-before-seen' alternate ending in which Rambo commits suicide— a fate more in line with the original novel's ending— and a 'humorous' ending tacked on afterwards. A brief snippet of the suicide ending appears in a flashback in the fourth movie. Lionsgate also released this version on Blu-ray. Both commentary tracks are on the Blu-ray release.
