"It's the Moops!"

First Blood
is a 1982 American action film directed by Ted Kotcheff, and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. It co-stars Richard Crenna and Brian Dennehy, and is the first installment in the Rambo franchise, followed by Rambo: First Blood Part II.
The film is based on the 1972 novel of the same name by David Morrell. In the film, Rambo, a troubled and misunderstood veteran, must rely on his combat and survival senses against the abusive law enforcement of the small town of Hope, Washington.
First Blood was released in the United States on October 22, 1982. Despite initial mixed reviews, the film was a box office success, grossing $125.2 million at the box office. Since its release, First Blood has received reappraisal from critics, with many praising the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre. The film's success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels (all of which were co-written by and starred Stallone), an animated television series and a series of comic books, novels, video games and a Bollywood remake.

Once was enough, fuck that shit was slow.
5.4 outta 10 at best.
Agree with others.......
That movie could have wrapped shit up in about 40 minutes:facepalm: Was the movie horrible? No it wasn't, but it wasn't very good either.
Its not for everyone.....that's for sure. This is from a TV show in Britain. James Bond....it ain't. A movie/TV show about espionage that is close to what really occurs in the world......it plays out more like a game of chess than a movie with explosions and gun fire.

with the season soon to be cancelled I found no reason to invest the time.
WNBA is working for me right now and the games are exciting as well.
True Romance is my favorite movie. No question.
Idiocracy is great, but it?s not for everyone. Dax Shepard is so good.

I did, I liked them both but usually the sequel is never as good. Except Rocky, Rocky 2 was the best Rocky

Final Countdown. Solid early 80s movie about the USS Nimitz going back in time to right before Pearl Harbor. Watched it the first time in the Casino movie theater in Avalon Catalina island back in my carefree teenage years.
If they gave an Oscar for "Best Scene", in 1993 it would have gone to Walken and Hooper in True Romance.
If they had an Oscar for Best Scene All Time, it would go to Walken and Hooper in True Romance (except for, maybe, Salma Hayek in Dusk to Dawn.)
More currently . . .
Movie update; caught Knives Out and Jo Jo Rabbit this week.
Knives out: started out strong, faded late in the pic, my interest waned a bit.
Christopher Plummer - is he ever NOT good, in any role? I don't think so.
Jamie Curtis - uncomfortable to see her as a grey-haired old lady,
almost as unsettling as seeing James Bond talk with a southern accent.
Jo Jo Rabbit: If you're the type of movie viewer who just can't wait for Hollywood to put out the 11th remake of King Kong then this is probably not a film for you. I appreciate it even more so when I compare its originality to almost everything else being produced these days.
Waititi is a rare talent.
It is extremely difficult to be funny and disturbing at the same time, and he can do it not only over the course of an entire film, but in as little as one line: Jo Jo to Elsa, "Tell me, where does the Jew Queen lay her eggs?"
To remember that Nazi's actually thought that way, and acted upon that hatred, is a bit chilling.
Quirky funny, layered, deep. Great acting all around, from the kids Jo Jo and Elsa, Rebel Wilson, Steven Merchant, Waititi as Hitler, Theon Greyjoy (doing more with expressions than most "actors" can do with dialogue) and Sam Rockwell (Rockwell is another who is good in every role he takes on.)
A great script (Oscar winner), good editing.
And, for me, one of the best ending scenes in many years, a slow development gradually increasing to a full-on onslaught of expressing freedom, harkening back to an answer Elsa gave Jo Jo earlier in the film when he was questioning her.
And a bit of Bowie is always a good thing.
I'd highly recommend it.
