| First Blood is the Sylvester Stallone film that unleashed
"Rambo" onto an unsuspecting world. Wandering into a small, hostile town,
ex-Green Beret John Rambo (Stallone) is targeted for persecution and abuse by
potbellied Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy). When he can stand no
more, Rambo goes bonkers, killing a deputy and heading into the surrounding
hills, armed to the teeth. Only after Rambo has picked off practically every law
enforcement officer within a radius of 50 miles do the local authorities bring
in his former commanding officer Trautman (Richard Crenna) for advice. Trautman's
response, that the locals had better get a lot of body bags ready, is hardly
encouraging. First Blood proved to be one of Stallone's
biggest non-Rocky hits. Kirk Douglas had originally been cast as
Trautman, but he ankled the project when the producers refused to cave in to Douglas' demand that Trautman kill Rambo
in the finale. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide | |
