Dude111 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!!! -- They sure picked the wrong guy!!!!!! (Im glad I found a good copy (In SP mode)) THEY CAUSED ALL OF IT!!!! Like John said "THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD" -- They sure did..... They saw John as a Military person (The 'US Army' on his jacket set the sheriffs attitude) and many ppl do not like them for the way they treat ppl badly....... IT WAS NOT JOHNS FAULT THAT MR. GALT WAS KILLED WHEN HE FELL OUT OF THE HELICOPTER....... It was Karma that got him... HE WAS GONNA KILL JOHN!!! That movie came out BEFORE THIS P.C. CRAP STARTED luckily (1982) and was able to be ALL IT COULD!! (Its excellent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Its excellent) Were you watching it sober, or. . .? Anyway, did films back then actually have a political message, or was it just a case of blowing things up on screen = bums on seats at the cinema?

Anyway, did films back then actually have a political message, or was it just a case of blowing things up on screen = bums on seats at the cinema? The first one is actually pretty good, and if you strip away some of the explosions there's quite a strong message about how Vietnam vets were treated when they got back. The two that followed were largely nonsense but the first still stands up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two that followed were largely nonsense but the first still stands up. I'm a bit too young to remember the Vietnam War and when I first watched a pirate VHS video copy of Rambo 1 back in the late 1980s I thought the local Police arrested him 'cos they didn't want any vagrants / transients / homeless people staying in their quaint little town. Really, I thought the Police and Army vets were "on the same side" as it were. Awww how cute Thanks, I thought it was a lovely heart-warming story too. All those cuddly bears and flying ponies and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awsome song and very sobering. Most people think the song is about gloryfying America, when it's actually about how poorly treated the Vietnam vets were.
