First Blood
1982Directed By Ted Kotcheff
Quotable.
“They drew first blood, not me.”
“They drew first blood, not me.”
The sequel (Rambo) got more hype, but the original is less of a caricatured bloodbath and more of a nuanced look inside the mind of a mentally scarred Vietnam vet who refuses to bow down to authority. Stallone at his unfuckwittable best.
