Growing up I watched all the action movies of the 80s and 90s. I saw first blood pt2 and Rambo 3 but I never saw the first one until now on Netflix lol.
I was expecting it to be like the others and be the typical Rambo outing where he takes on an army. It was actually really good! I found myself into the movie the whole time. Aside from a couple of cheesy 80s lines from the cops in the woods "we're not huntin him, he's huntin us.", it's pretty good.
Im surprised when I find an old hidden gem that's been sitting around for over 3 decades.
Great film!

Same here. The Rambo movies are childhood movies for me and I haven't seen them since then. I remember them as over-the-top solo action movies like Commando and Predator. I just finished watching First Blood and I'm pleasently surprised how it's none of those things and how well it holds up. The ending speech moved me.

I was 9 when First Blood came out so I didn't see it until 84 or 85 once we were renting videos from the rental stores. Loved it then and love it now. It's awesome.

This film is not a hidden gem that has been sitting around. It's been shown on TV many many times. It has always been available on any format from VHS to Blu-ray.

This was the best of the Rambo series. It had its shoot-em-up bloody moments, but it was still a great story with an all-star cast.

I agree, but do NOT read the author's not at the beginning.

If the sequels didn't exist. This would be revered like a more action Deer Hunter.

Yes. For me this is the best entry in the franchise. It would be a great stand alone movie with no sequels.
