Or at least a nomination. His performance is outstanding, no one else could have played Rambo as perfect and as convinci

Yea, I agree. I remember renting it on vcr and thinking. Stallone almost made me cry. (Scene at end with Richard Crenna) Love his performance. But I think his 'action star' status hurts with real critical acclaim

Yeah, same here, that scene to this day, STILL gives me chills, such an intense scene. I agree, OP, Stallone should've at least garnered an Oscar nomination for his performance in this film. Hands down, one of his BEST, if not his best, same goes for his performances in Cop Land, F.I.S.T., and most of the Rocky films.

because the character was dumb and the whole point of the movie was childish. i want some food so im gonna kill everybody and not take prison food. come on son you know this movie was dumb. Had it been corrupt cops killing people or something then i could justify rambos actions.

Are you retarded??? Rambo didn't kill anyone at all in the film, the only death was a result of an over zealous person not wearing their seat belt in a Helicopter and Rambo declaring war on a town of cops had nothing to do with food at all. It had to do with his rights as a human being to be in that town to get something to eat and it had to do with his mental state as a haunted soldier who was misunderstood. For someone to call a movie like First Blood dumb and childish is very ignorant and naive because you obviously can't comprehend the message behind it.

Not likely, the police car had only minor damage and the other one exploded.

Did you watch the movie or just the trailer action shots???
He did not kill anyone so where do you get the whole, "so I'm gonna kill everybody" statement from???
Try watching the movie, or at least this time pay attention and try to understand what it is about.
The book is actually very good as well. Now, in the book Rambo kills a few people. -

With all the movies that came out that year I can understand why it wasn't nominated. This movie is good but it's no Gandhi.

What kind of question is that? It got 8 oscars, it is in the top 250, etc..

I think Stallone is an underrated actor, even when he plays tough guy roles, he somehow is able to inject his characters with believable humanity and vulnerability. I cannot see other action stars like Schwarzenegger play many of Stallone's roles. When he tried something different, out of his comfort zone and gives a performance of a lifetime, he is still unrecognized or ignored. So why bother playing other than a typical action star? It's too bad because I think he had the potential to have been a really good dramatic actor if only he was given the chance.

Rocky V lolol? HORRIBLE movie, possibly the worst of his careerlooking back, it's amazing that it got green-lighted it was so bad. Was the 1st pebble in an avalanche of awful films that eventually buried Stallone's career.

possibly the worst of his career
As bad as Rocky V is, it's by far not his worst. Not when there's Rhinestone, easily his worst movie by far. Also i think Driven, D-Tox and Daylight are worse than Rocky V, imo.
