I think on its terms, the film works very well. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesnt know whom hes dealing with or how far Rambo will take him into a life.

'All that said, you know, movies and novels are different train tracks. Be forewarned, if you love John Rambo of the movie you will not like First Blood, the book. there isn't really a lot for him to work with. First of all, David Morrell’s book First Blood is not the movie First Blood Only the names (and some of the background) were NOT changed (to preserve the movie contract).

The inner-tube image in the jail-fight scene shows the vividness I was trying for. If it weren't for Brian Dennehy's brilliance. EvenFirst Blood author David Morrell was a fan, calling Rambo the first time that the tone of my novel First Blood has been used in any of the movies.

First Blood es una novela de 1972 escrita por David Morrell, que fue adaptado en la película de 1982 del mismo nombre y protagonizada por Sylvester Stallone como John Rambo. 'They also minimalised the police chief's character. 'The ending is very different,' Morrell said. In the book, Rambo dies, and while the movie did shoot an ending that saw the character killed, his fate was changed in reshoots. The film of First Blood made significant alterations to Morrell's original story of a Vietnam War veteran embarking on a rampage after being hassled by local police, most notably the ending.
