The 602 Club 314: Not a Lot of Hope in Hope

First Blood

There are a lot of action franchises from the 80s but few of them have lasted long enough to be still giving us sequels as recently as 2019.

In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris are joined by John Mills to talk about the first movie in the Rambo series, First Blood. We discuss book to film, Stallone's influence and performance, judging a book by it's cover, doing his own stunts, the shooting style, Brian Dennehy, Richard Crenna, the score, our ratings, recommendation and a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
