RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital

Brilliant film Brilliant

"First Blood" (1982) is a action film with psychological undercurrents. It stars Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, one of the defining roles if his acting career. It's a popular movie, and inspired three sequels. This first film in the saga is based on a bestselling novel, by David Morrell, which - in the midst of an action storyline - explores some of the difficulties faced by soldiers returning home to the USA after fighting in Vietnam, and the post traumatic stress suffered. The book introduced Rambo - although it was this film series that turned the character into a global phenomenon. The film concerns John Rambo, who's living as a vagrant, being picked up by local police in a small town in rural America. The police don't particularly like Rambo's looks or attitude. In turn, Rambo doesn't seem to care about what the police think ... He's arrested, and while being detained is mistreated by some of the officers. During a moment of flashback - to an ordeal during the Vietnam War, when he was tortured - Rambo gets mad, fights the police officers and escapes. Hiding in the nearby mountains, Rambo is pursued by the police. It's then that the police learn that Rambo is an elite warrior - an ex-special forces soldier who's trained to evade capture, survive in the wilderness, and kill the enemy using any tactics. Ultimately, the police utterly fail to apprehend Rambo - and so now the military join-in the manhunt, led by Rambo's former commanding officer Colonel Sam Trautman. In the final act of the film, Rambo destroys the local town - and then, persuaded by Trautman, gives himself up. This is a violent film. Yet it's not violence for its own sake, merely to titillate. Rather, the storyline is handled in a serious manner - and Rambo's tortured psyche is explored (being clearly depicted in the final scene, when he suffers an emotional breakdown). This is as much a drama about a man being mistreated, and refusing to simply accept such mistreatment, as it is an action film. Stallone acts well, portraying the central protagonist in a meaningful way. He's brilliantly supported by both Richard Crenna and Brian Dennehy. This is a defining film of the 1980's - inspiring a host of copy-cat movies. The Blu-ray edition presents excellent quality video and audio. Unfortunately, it has few special features.

Excellent product

brilliant

A typical Silvester Stallone film about a down trodden army veteran trying to deal with civilian life after the Vietnam war. Now having to deal with the loss of his buddy from his service days, he wanders aimlessly trying to come to terms with life. In the end you have to feel sorry for this guy who knows the only thing he was trained to do “kill” … Brian Dennehy plays the tough local sheriff chief and likes things to stay quite in his neck of the woods. That is until John Rambo, who just wants somewhere to eat turns up in town.

Excellent

If you like to hear author's and/or actors discuss the story and movie making process then this is an excellent buy. I got it specifically because Sylvester Stallone (actor) and David Morrell (author) discuss FirstBlood. If you have listened to any of Stallone's commentaries before, you will know he is a contrast to the type of characters he plays on screen. He comes across as extremely knowledgeable, intelligent and very interesting, full of the kind of insight fans of these commentaries love. Likewise David Morrell is always honest, tells a great story and is never less than heartfelt. He comes across as a very nice guy, who is very pleased to have created one of the great action icons of the twentieth century. If you have any interest in fiction writing Morrell's books on the writing process are also excellent value for money. As this is a blu-ray the image and audio are excellent but you can buy just that for less directly from the UK. The value of this is for the fans of the commentaries. Well worth the slightly elevated price.

The first and best , of all the Rambo movies. Where it started, John Rambo a ex Soldier back home from Vietnam . Trying to settle into normal life as a civalian again, where a Local Small Town Sheriff named Teasel. Gives Rambo a lift and. Picks on him on how he looks , and drops him off at the end of a bridge . Where he wants to go to Portand , he turns round makes his way back into town the angered Sheriff cuts him of , and arrests him . But what he doesn't know is he's a trained Soldier a one man army who win medal of honour, a pure war hero. As Rambo lashes out from pure rage, traumised from visions what he gone through in Nam, he escapes and takes to the mountains to escape. But he starts his own private war , with Teasel and he uses his expertise and survival skills. To stay alive , only one person can help Rambo , is Colonel Trautman . Who trained him ,and taught him . Everything he knows, and to try and stop Rambo . Before he goes too far, and passes the point of no return. This superb movie is so iconic and by far , the best of the collection.

Compré la edición 4K UHD de Lionsgate a 350 pesos, lo que se me hizo casi una ganga tomando en cuenta que esta edición es importada y el envío fue completamente gratis. Además de que para los que todavía no tienen una televisión 4K o un reproductor 4K también incluye el Blu-Ray normal en 1080p. Tanto el Blu-Ray 4K como el Blu-Ray normal incluyen una pista de audio en español con el doblaje mexicano original, también incluye una copia digital pero lamentablemente no está disponible para México. Sin duda ésta es la mejor edición de Rambo y a un muy buen precio.

Una de las mejores películas dónde aparece Sylvester Stallone. Gran película y gran lavado de cara con ésta, su edición en formato digital. Lástima que el audio sólo venga en español latino. Si la vas a mirar en versión original es una buenísima opción a un muy buen precio.

*This is a review of the First Blood StudioCanal BluRay edition. There's not much to say about First Blood that hadn't already been said. This film is great and is one of my personal favorites!! PLOT: --------- John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is backpacking back home to Arizona after doing his war tour in Vietnam, when he decides to stop into Hope, Washington to meet up with an old war buddy. Unbeknownst to him, his friend has been killed from cancer, brought on by Agent Orange. Distraught, he preps to stop in town and get some dinner when he's noticed by Sheriff Will Teasel (Brian Dennehy) who offers him a ride, unbeknownst to Rambo that it's an escort and a warning not to come back into town, as Rambo looks like a drifter and Teasel doesn't want any trouble from 'his kind'. Rambo ignores this, heads back into town and is arrested by Teasel for vagrancy. After he's pushed around by the small town deputies and triggered by flashbacks of his days as a P.O.W (Prisoner of War) in Vietnam, Rambo snaps, takes out all of the deputies and Sheriff non-lethally in highly skilled hand-to-hand combat and escapes into the wilderness surrounding the town. He is then pursued by the lawmen into the wild, all of whom will find out that they're outmatched by Rambo who is a green beret Vietnam vet and is the best there is. Sheriff Teasel has picked the wrong man to mess with as Rambo will fight all opposition in this heavily escalating personal war on pride, honor and to see who the better man is. Rambo's mentor Col. Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna) arrives to help deescalate the situation when the national guard shows up to help apprehend Rambo, but it may already be too late!! REVIEW: ------------- This movie isn't at all like the cartoony pulp culture Rambo we're all familiar with; the gun-totting, bad guy killing, invincible good guy. This is the more grounded, realistic PTSD suffering Rambo, who's dealing with coming home and being disrespected by the country he's spilled blood for to defend. It's not just an action film, it's a dark, moody commentary on the Vietnam vets and their unjust treatment after returning home from the Vietnam war. Rambo is the face of all the suffering, torment, pain and sorrow of all our vets went through, and who better to represent that? When he's pushed around by Teasel and the deputies, he pushes back and starts a one man war to get his point across. It's only at the end of the film that we find out why he's fighting back so hard. It's truly brilliant filmmaking at it's finest. BluRay REVIEW: ------------------------ This BluRay version is awesome!! There are plenty of special features, unlike the DVD format. - Drawing First Blood (A retrospective documentary) - First Blood: A Look Back (Another retrospective documentary) - Stallone Commentary - David Morrell Commentary (Author of the original First Blood novel) - Alternate Ending - Joke Ending - Deleted Scene: Saigon Dream (I'm glad that they cut this gratuitous sex scene as it served no purpose in the film) - Plus a few more short retrospectives * That's quite a LOT of special features for $10!! Picture Quality: 8/10 (While the quality's quite clear, we still have the widescreen bars on a 1080p widescreen) Audio Quality: 10/10 VERDICT: -------------- The best kind of films are those that teach us something and carry messages. Sure, this is an action film, but it has a smart commentary in its method, which stops it from being hollow and pretentious. Kudos to Stallone, Brian Dennehy, Richard Crenna and the rest of the cast for making one of the best action films ever made with such conviction. It's truly a one of a kind action masterpiece in every sense of the word. Highly recommended!! 10/10
