I love one thing about Stalone's performance with Rambo. Rambo says very few words through the entire movie, but everything he does say has weight and meaning.
Eadig, after the Vietnam War, there were a lot of Americans who were just horrible to veterans. In 1983, when I transitioned from being in the Marine Corps, full time, to the reserve, there were over 250 businesses in Albuquerque that refused to hire me because I was a veteran. Finally, a hotel followed federal law and hired me.
Uncle was a marine forward observer with 2 tours in Vietnam
He returned to the states and basically got a job as a bodyguard for a casino owner in vegas...binions...it was that or drive a truck
That's sick! Glad you found a job
He's not lying. Both the left and right treated these great men as unwanted. The left called them baby killers and the right considered them loosers. Even though American Marines and Soldiers won every battle. Politicians wouldn't let them win.
That's a disgrace to the entire country.
Once there were preferences for veterans, now it's the reverse, and that's sick.
Just in defense, yes the treatment was unfair and indiscriminate. There is no excuse for it but civilians, first the young but then more and more, tried to protest to the government but they were shot down over and over. Finally, enough people of all ages and background were protesting and Congress finally shut down payments for the war. In the course of this, blame shifted from the politicians to the ordinary soldiers. But I remember in the early 1980s the military was looked poorly. Now Liberals and many Democrats are still paying the price after 50 years.
Nobody is ever prepared for the direction it took in that last few minutes.
Vietnam veterans were not treated kindly upon their return. My dad was in Vietnam and I served for 20 years later. I had to see his eyes over and over as people thanked me for my service. No one thanked him. He has since passed away.
I personally never served, but I’m very good friends with a couple of guys who served in Vietnam. They still don’t get enough credit for the shit they had to put up with when they came back after the shit they dealt with while they were in country. I’ve got nothing but respect for them, and everyone else who fought for this country, no matter what war they fought in.
People overcompensate now precisely because of the way the Vietnam vets were treated back then and movies like this that brought that fact home to middle America and the guilt they all felt.
This movie went from a crazy "Never mess with a one man army Bad Ass" to a gut wrenching performance that tears at your heart with the ugly truth.
The breakdown Rambo has at the end, some of the best acting from Stallone cause you can feel the raw emotion of all the shit he went through in the war & how he's been treated afterwards.
And there are people who claim that Stallone is a bad actor. Either those people haven't seen this scene or they don't really know what a good performance is.
If you haven't already seen the movie Copland it's one I highly recommend. Stallone gives a great performance holding his own against Harvey KEitel, Robert De Niro, and other actors.
@@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc This and Rocky show that to be a lie. He is an awesome actor. I wish he had stayed with this type of thing but the action blockbusters make big money soooooo....
A friend of mine was a Green Beret and served in Vietnam. I know first have what they are capable of. They are highly intelligent, speak multiple languages. They are experts in killing and training anybody to be a fighter. They are true heros and warriors
i'm so happy to see you back , WELCOME BACK !!!!!!
Thank you!! 😊
@@NoxSoSubtle You're welcome 😁
@@NoxSoSubtle waiting for your next 2 reactions to be of Rambo 2 and 3
This movie was the very definition of the phrase " fuck around & find out " .
Exactly what I was thinking! Haha
@@NoxSoSubtle would also like for you to react to Tropic Thunder at some point
"Are you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no win situation for us?"
"If you send that many, don't forget one thing."
"What?"
"A good supply of body bags."
God, I love that line. That's the kind of guy you don't mess with. And I can definitely see not many people understanding what soldiers like Rambo went through.
Side note: Sly voiced Rambo when he was a guest character in Mortal Kombat 11.
Stallone was box office gold at that time with both the Rambo and Rocky movies.
Trading blows with Arnie having Terminator and Predator.
If I remember correctly, Mr. Stallone actually got hurt when he made that jump and landed in the trees. He broke one of his ribs.
That scream of pain was real.
"Only their skilled training and police enforcement techniques saved their lives" lol
But people trust the news media
It is like Predator. But Rambo IS the Predator.
One of the most powerful monologues in a movie and Stallone showing his acting chops delivering it
First date I ever had. Sixteen years old. Had just got my driver license.
Took her to see this movie.
After the movie we went to McDonald's and had cheeseburgers and fries.
It’s always fun to watch people react to this one, because it’s not what they expect like the other sequels. This one cuts really deep:)
THE BEST MOVIE EVER. STALLONE WAS ALWAYS ON ANOTHER LEVEL FROM SCHWARZENEGGER
In the Army we are taught when chased by dogs you only have to tire out the handler. That’s why he was shot first.
Stallone's monologue at the end is one of the best ever.
Rambo told him to let it go or he'd give him a war he wouldn't believe... he didn't let it go... so Rambo gave him a war... Great movie
This film excels at spotlighting the egos of what Carlos Castaneda called "petty tyrants". Sadly, this petty tyrant mentality is pervasive throughout most of law enforcement personnel today. Great reaction!
It’s about 99% of them. A good cop stops the bad ones and less than one percent of them ever do anything against their own. That makes them gang members and not public servants.
This girl will have you laughing along with her on occasion and point a thing or two out for you in a movie you might have missed. Know that's true for me. Great watching Nox. 🙏
I loved watching this with you, you cracked me up, especially when the dude fell out of the helicopter
Vietnam vets were treated horribly upon returning home. Often targeted and harrassed. Stallones ending monologue is one of the best scenes put to film. The others all have something to say about things that were happening in the times the movies were made. All worth a watch, some better than others. You will like the next one I believe.
Something that seems to be lost on most people is that the sheriff is a Korean war veteran, you can see his medals behind him when he sits at his desk in that one scene and a few subtle remarks between Troutman and Teasel throughout the film make this clear. Vietnam got so much attention during that era that Korean war vets were essentially forgotten altogether, that war even being referred to often as the forgotten war. So, maybe the sheriff didn't like Rambo in his town because he reminded him that he and his buddies who served in Korea were being ignored by the nation, maybe he didn't like Rambo because he felt Vietnam was being fought dishonorably, but I don't think he dislikes Rambo just because he's a drifter.
In the book that's the reason why he hates him, if I remember correctly
He's also a white guy, but ethnic looking. Now as a guy who is technically white but far from a wasp, I'm not going to say we are treated like black people, but it isn't the same. Especially if there's something in our background (at least in their minds) to other us. No idea if this was in the book, but I could definitely see it in the movie.
The long hair would have triggered him big time too. I knew guys from the Korean war era, my uncle being one of them. They were the brush cut, super conservative, hate everything that was even remotely related to hippies and they would have seen Rambo wearing combat clothing as a direct insult to the uniform and their values.
omg im so so glad you are back!! please watch part 2
Your Awesome Eadig 😎 love these videos hope to see more
Stallone was very good in this, believable performance, his best for sure and proves he can act well, the ending always makes me want to tear up as I've seen this countless time, nice reaction 👍
You're back!!!!! Happy to see you again. Hope all is well.
Also I always loved how Col Trautman stood by Rambo at the end coming out of the station and walking with him down the street. Yea he went to far but he was still proud to stand by like a brother..it was so military
Someone told me the Sheriff was a Korean War veteran that was as good as Rambo was during the war, came home and became Sheriff. Years later as he’s getting older or replaceable, Rambo appears and he is assuring he isn’t replaced in that small town by this new hotshot war veteran.
Cool, happy to see you’re back
Thanks!! 😁
Damn, Nox won't even let the sheriff cry in peace! 🤣🤣🤣
😛
@@NoxSoSubtle think you could also react to Ninja Assassin ? Been waiting for long time for someone to react to it
Holy crap, Nox is back! :-)
So happy to see you alive! I was really worried.
I just saw that you are back! I'm so glad you are doing reactions again you were always a favorite, you are so smart and genuine. The universe is correcting itself! I need to go buy a lottery ticket, I feel so lucky.
According to the novel, The reason why the sheriff had such a grudge against Rambo too, especially after he learns he is a Vietnam vet, is that he too is a vet, but he was in the Korean war, aka the “Forgotten War”.
Even today, most don’t know it happened since it’s skipped over in some schools.
But, though the movie doesn’t openly mention that, you can see that the sheriff was in fact a vet, using terms and tactics that he had learned from combat.
And a couple of times, in his office, you can glimpse the Purple Heart medal he has.
Ayyy you're alive!!!
Most underrated line in this movie: "Don't shoot. There's people down there."
This movie was one of the main reasons for the muscle man action movie craze of the 80's, even though this movie is much more thoughtful and realistic than what came after (including this movie's sequels).
So nice to see you are back, Andi. I missed you 😊
At the 7 minute mark, where Rambo jumps off the cliff, Stallone actually did the close-up shot where he’s falling through the tree branches. And where you hear him cry out, Stallone broke a couple ribs landing on that tree branch.
Good to see you back! Ive missed you!
I saw this on tv one night in like 1988 and the end scene with his breakdown had me in tears. Everyone always looked at me funny when I said I cried at the end of First Blood.
The country was a very different place during the war. I was born in 1981, but my father was in the air force at the time. Unfortunately I have some back problems, and I could not in list. Now a days our soldiers are hailed as heroes, as they should be, back then they were vilified but that is a whole other conversation. PTSD is very real, even for regular people. I lost my best friend to a motorcycle accident in 2008, til this day I am terrified of motorcycles.
1:56 "Wait. So, like, someone _fights_ for their country, comes back home, and they're like, 'Nah. We don't want you.' It's pretty messed up."
Yes, and it's all the stranger with Sheriff Teasle. See, Rambo is a veteran of the _Vietnam_ war. Teasle is a veteran of the _Korean_ War. Apparently, everyone remembers the war in Vietnam, while the war in Korea has been largely forgotten, although our efforts, there, are the reason South Korea still exists, today.
We also managed to pull off with Korea the kinds of results that kept _eluding_ us in Vietnam. We managed to fortify the border between North and South in such a way that the North Korean Army and their Chinese reinforcements just couldn't break through, thus ending the war in a stalemate, and we managed to reach that point in a little over three years.
Korea. Fought a little over three years. Ended in a stalemate.
Vietnam. Fought for not quite 20 years. Ended in defeat.
Yet, nowadays, Vietnam veterans are remembered and revered while Korean veterans are forgotten.
But, seriously, consider it. Have you ever actually _met_ anyone inclined to hold Vietnam veterans in low regard? I mean, while we, as a nation, were on the war path with Afghanistan and Iraq, I persistently observed efforts to conflate objection to the war (either one) with objection to the troops _fighting_ it. I can only presume it was much the same with Vietnam.
But this I take for a reason public objection to Iraq and Afghanistan was a bit more steadfast than public support for Vietnam. With Iraq and Afghanistan, every single member of the Armed Forces we sent was a _volunteer._ With Vietnam, we relied heavily on _conscripts._ Why was that necessary if our troops _themselves_ supported the war?
Americans not knowing their own recent history but confident to comment on everything - never ceases to amaze me
I love this movie. Sylvester should have got an Oscar for this breakdown scene ! xx
I haven't seen a reaction by you in a long time. Welcome back.
I am SO glad you're back to reacting! Sylvester Stallone films are made for you!
Hey, welcome back, I didn’t realize you were back to an active channel
A great reaction to a classic movie.
Sylvester Stallone created two classic characters, Rocky and Rambo. Some of the sequels weren't as great, but still, he created two very successul franchises.
You're right that his last monologue was heartbreaking. GREAT reaction!
It was loosely based on a lot of stories. Veterans were subjected to a lot of NIMBY solutions that were less than pleasant. My dad was a Vet and POW. He never spoke a word,but I can tell you it was never out of his head either. Glad you enjoyed the movie and its intended effects.
I enjoyed your reaction mate
I say this a lot and I still believe it. Vietnam vets deserved better. We failed them. Being a military brat, I was taught always respect those who answer the call of service. They have experience the worst kind of hell so we can sleep safely at night. They fight to protect us so it our duty to take care them.
I was born in 1973..of all the War Vets i encountered in my life the Nam Vets influence me more than the vets from any other Era, as a kid they were different from the WWI, WWII or Korean War Vets, they typically weren't to trustful of the establishment and us kids weren't as trustful either and because they were often only 15 to 20 years older than us, closer than our parents and when alot of us enlisted in the 80s and 90s, the Nam Vets were the only war combat vets left in the service, good stories and we even had alot of their gear from Nam.
Sylvester Stallone wrote and added that ending monologue because he felt that without it Rambo would have come across as just another crazed vet who went psycho rather than making him a sympathetic character.
Oh shit, you're back!
The red headed cop Mitch is the only one who really felt sorry for rambo and wanted to treat him with respect.
He looks at the dead cop on the rocks bc of his ptsd . He remembers looking into the face of his dead enemy or his dead friends during the war.
A lot of Vietnam vets ended up with severe PTSD and became homeless drifters after the war... usually due to VA hospitals substandard mental health services and veterans benefits. Homeless vets wearing their army jackets were a common stereotype... which is what Brian Denehey's police chief character is alluding to. The military is great at training soldiers, and breaking them... not so much into unbreaking them. My dad was one of the luckier ones. He had PTSD but was able to find a good job that became a career... but a lot of Nam vets werent so lucky.
Oh hey, just noticed you're back. Awesome! Looking forward to the new reactions.
Welcome back.
This was 7 years since the fall of Saigon, and 9 years before Desert Storm, 19 years before 9-11. Experience. In the book Troutman gave Rambo a 12gauge lobotomy.
This is the first time I've seen you and just the fact that you referenced Boon Dock got me to hit the sub button
James Cameron wrote the first sequel to this film. It's definitely more of a typical Hollywood action adventure, rather than a survivalist suspense thriller and sometime drama like the original, as are the others in this series.
If I was an actor, Richard Crenna as Colonel Samuel Trautman would be the gold standard that I would strive for.
Something that most reactors miss when Rambo is blowing up the town and they’re concerned over the citizens…
Sheriff Teasel says “I get paid to keep it that way”. That means the townspeople voted for him and are happy to pay him. They are not innocent in this. They pay for all the services his department has provided to Rambo.
The rest of them are good too…especially 4 when he’s older.
The ending monologue is the best part
The guy who played the deputy, Lester, really had his nose broken in the jail break scene. That's why he has a plaster on his nose for the length of the film.
Stallone's monologue at the end is EPIC!
The Vietnam war was the first war covered in real time on the nightly news. Anti-war sentiment was high. Some soldiers did unthinkable things ( see Mai Lai massacre) Returning Soldiers were often greeted by protesters, rather than parades.
I recommend "Full Metal Jacket" 1987 & "The Siege of Firebase Gloria" 1988 for Vietnam war movies. ("Apocalypse Now", "Platoon", "Casualties of War" are also excellent")
Also "Dr. Strangelove" 1964 & "Fail Safe" 1964. Two different takes on the Cold War.
THE GUARDIAN OF NUSANTARA -ALFFY REV REACTION 🇮🇩🇮🇩
The moment you started speaking I knew I had to be subscriber ❤🎉🎉🎉
4:27 Rule 1 nobody f****s with John Rambo.. remember that 😂💀🇺🇸🦅🦅💪🏻
Rule #2...obey rule #1
People who served in Vietnam were mostly young 18 or 19 year olds who were drafted and had no choice; it was serve the military or serve time in prison. When they returned (if they didn't die), they were spit on, mistreated, called baby killers, and completely ostracized by society. The worst part was they were mostly the poor or lower middle class kids - the rich kids went to college or otherwise bought their way out of serving. I never had to go overseas at the time, but I was in the military and saw all that crap first-hand. Those were dark times for America
The algorithm brought me here. Boondock Saints caused me to subscribe. xoxo
You weren't wrong to really feel for Rambo when he's injured freefalling from the cliffside into the tree. Stallone did the stunt himself and was in legitimate pain when he lands on the ground and screams in agony. The fall broke one of his ribs.
when rambo jumped off the side of the cliff and into the trees ... that actually hurt him (he did some of the stunts) in a howard stern interview, he said he dislocated one of his shoulder while jumping into those trees.
One little-understood complication we ran into in the Vietnam War was with our ignorance over basic psychology. See, when someone ships off to a branch of the Armed Forces, they go through several weeks of basic training for the purpose of taking someone accustomed to functioning in the civilian world and training them to function in the Armed Forces.
It turns out, this process has to be reversed. You can't just take someone in the Armed Forces who has reached the end of their tour of duty and send 'em back to the civilian world. You have to put them through about a month of _retraining,_ first, so they know how to function in a world at peace.
We were not aware of this fact, because in _previous_ wars, this necessary effect was always achieved with something along the lines of a "long march home." If you're marching home, with your unit, your unit behaves _differently_ from when they're marching off to war. They're quite literally putting the war _behind_ them. They're sharing anecdotes about what the different people in your unit went through that they can't really be sure anyone _outside_ of their unit will understand. Over a period of a few weeks to a month, this has a palliative effect, so you can return home with peace made with your memories and your unit.
Vietnam was the first war in which our technology was advanced enough that the _literal_ "long march home" was no longer necessary and we were not aware of the psychological need that still persisted, so we took to just sending our troops home, again.
Now an effectively trained military unit is trained to fight as a _team._ When the people in that unit start getting cut off from each other, they pick up on it instinctively. Something is going very wrong. They start to experience paranoia, because they don't understand the mechanisms that are cutting them off from the other members of their unit.
The end results caused a lot of PR headaches for Uncle Sam, and that's why we make it a point, nowadays, to carefully process someone _out_ before we send them home.
Nah, National Guard back then were known as "Weekend Warriors". Doing it for supplemental income like a second job and going camping to get away from the job and family for a weekend. They didn't become hardend combat soldiers till Desert Storm.
I see all these younger reactor watching this and in the beginning where the Sheriff is giving Rambo a hard time they immediately say they don’t know why he’s giving a veteran a hard time.1) I love that we try to take care of our vets now and show them respect . But that wasn’t always the case. After the Vietnam war lots of people treated returning vets like garbage because the war wasn’t politically popular. That WHY those vets made sure the next generation understood how big a sacrifice it is to go to war and we treat them better now. 2) I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s, and those M-65 field jackets like Rambo is wearing were common as dirt. Everyone from jr high kids to college kids, homeless guys to hippies had one because they were so cheap. So Teagle doesn’t necessarily know Rambo is a vet by his appearance. He thinks he’s dealing with a bum.
Yeah, that ending comes out of left field, and hits you right in the feels...
Rolling thunder is one of the best coming home from Vietnam movies. Hate that nobody reacts to it. It’s really good and one of Tarantino’s favourite movies as well.
This is the first review of yours that I’ve seen, I enjoyed you very much! I’ve even subscribed! Btw, my Dad was a combat veteran, as a young boy, I actually witnessed him having a flashback. It was so traumatic for me. Rambo’s meltdown at the end is always tough for me to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content, well done! 🥰
Love your reaction
good to see you back after a while, would be nice to see you react to the rest of this franchise.
Hi, I'm so happy to see you making reaction videos, again.
I love the way you react. Thank you.
I will admit, there have been time I wished to return to combat where things were normal. There is a book too, it ends differently.
Welcome back! You're my favourite😀
Awww thank you!!
I was the lead as this Marine Corps in the infantry and I can tell you right now. The hierarchy is Boy Scouts and then just above Boy Scouts is National Guard and then just above National Guard is Air Force and then comes the regular military.
🤣
Another great performance by Stallone is in Cop Land. A good movie too.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Rambo movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Back then just about everything closed after dark. Especially in small hick towns.
Great movie
If you read the book First Blood Teasle is jealous of him Teasle was a Korean war vet and in real life Brain Denehy who played Teasle was a Korean war vet and he actually gave Stallone pointers on PTSD they were both very good friends up until Denehys death
Glad to see you back. I've been waiting two years for you to get back to Star Wars. Episode 1 The Phantom Menace let's go
This movie launched the lone tough guy action movies of the 80s. Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Schrawartenneger, Kurt Russel, Keven Segal - all of their action movie careers came about because of Rambo.
Is Keven Steven's younger brother?
I think Kurt Russel came before, but he was hardly as believable.
@@D.D.-ud9zt Yeah, most of it after Rambo was hard to believe.
*GASP* My UA-cam crush is back!???? YAYYY!!!
🤗
Hands off, she's mine!♥
