Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-09-08  Augalv: Some First Blood trivia:

The name "Rambo" came from a brand of apples of the same name (source: writer's commentary, First Blood: Special Edition).

Warner Bros. had considered to make the story with Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, and Dustin Hoffman.

After showing buyers a 40 minute edit of the film, the international rights sold in five minutes.

Sylvester Stallone hated the first cut of the film so much that he tried to buy the film back and destroy it. When he couldn't do that, he suggested that the producers cut much of his part and let the rest of the characters tell the story. That cut the movie time in half and set a precedent for future action movies.

Oct-10-08  Jim Bartle: Wow, how different a movie would it have been with one of those other guys. My preference would have been McQueen.

And Rambo a brand of apples? Don't remember that from the movie poster.

"That cut the movie time in half and set a precedent for future action movies."

Interesting. But what was the precedent?

Dec-20-08  Augalv: "First Blood" is the only good Rambo movie.
