First Blood

This week I talk to Ravinder Kalirai about his favourite film, the 1982 classic, First Blood. Based on the 1972 novel “First Blood” by David Morell, after it's release in 1982 it spawned a film franchise comprising of:Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)Rambo III (1988)Rambo (2008)Rambo: Last Blood (2019) as well as an animated series that ran for 65 episodes between April and December 1985 Synopsis: Vietnam veteran and drifter John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into a small Washington town in search of an old friend, but is met with intolerance and brutality by the local sheriff, Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy). When Teasle and his deputies restrain and shave Rambo, he flashes back to his time as a prisoner of war and unleashes his fury on the officers. He narrowly escapes the manhunt, but it will take his former commander (Richard Crenna) to save the hunters from the hunted. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
