First Blood alert!!!

[Norman Stansfield]

America's favorite Vietnam vet, John Rambo, is currently tearing up rural Oregon on Spike.

'They drew first blood, sir, not me.'

 

[John]

All I wanted was something to eat ... but the man kept pushin'.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go.

 

[Chi City 81]

Coven Leader, this is Raven. You out there, Johnny?

 

[John]

Got himself killed in Nam, didn't even know it. Cancer ate him down to the bone.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

I'm the last one, sir.

 

[John]

If you do go after him, don't forget one thing ...

What's that, colonel?

A good supply of body bags.

Perhaps the best line in the movie...

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

It's over, Johnny.

It's OVER!

Nothing is over! You don't just turn it off!

Also a notable film as it is one of David Caruso's two early 1980s film roles in which he plays a weaselly dorkus in a realm unfriendly to such people.

Name the other.

 

[John]

God didn't make Rambo ... I did.

And the other is Officer and a Gentleman.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

He and I were friends when your momma was still wiping your ASS!!! Now I'm gonna get him, and I'm gonna pin that Congressional Medal of Honor on his liver!!!

 

[John]

Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

Hunting? We ain't hunting him. He's hunting us!

Wiping your nose was the original line, not edited for TV. I'm as shocked as you.

John: correct. It was an easy one. Classic that he forged a career from that, and now plays a wannabe badass.

Best exchange in the film. TRautman talking the smack:

Trautman: I don't think you understand. I didn't come to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.
Teasle: Well, we all appreciate your concern Colonel, I will try to be extra careful!
Trautman: You picked the wrong man to push.
Teasle: No, Trautman, HE picked the wrong man.
Trautman: That boy's a heart attack! He may be the best the Special Forces ever produced. Whatever you're planning to throw at him here, he's been through a whole lot worse, in lot worse places than this. I'm just amazed he allowed any of your posse to live.
Teasle: Is that right?
Trautman: Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're lucky to be breathing.
Teasle: That's just great. Colonel, you came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket!
Trautman: You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best.

 

[John]

This is a classic movie (sort of), but there really aren't that many great lines. Hell, Rambo doesn't say that much in the whole movie.

And the book, by David Morrell, is quite good -- very different ending.

 

[John]

And I'll never see Caruso as anything but the tool he is in those two films.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

billy goat puke...I forgot that line...a true classic.

 

[Brooklyn Bridge]

Just in time to get caught up....For Rambo 4. Saw the trailer on the net Friday night. He's living in Burma? and has to rescue two Americans taken hostage...Bad times.

That is real, then, huh? One of my friends was trying to convince me the other night there was a Rambo 4 coming out. I couldn't believe it.

Sure to suck like nothing you've ever seen before.
