Would you say First Blood is Anti-authoritarian enough for this to be linked to in the see also section? After all, Rambo is a victim of police brutality and a victim of military service. This came across to a much greater extent than in the sequels.--Darrelljon 22:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

It does have some elements of that, yeah, but I don't think Rambo himself is anti-authoritarian, though. And the message I got from the movie was not "police are bad", just that 'these' cops were bad. BTW, I've added a link to the detailed synopsis on moviecheat.com. This is my site, it's totally legit and content-based, I'm a real person and it's a real site, and I think truly worth linking from here. I've checked the rules and it shouldn't be a problem as long as it's relevant and informative, but if anyone truly has a problem, feel free to revert.Rasi2290

[edit] Now that's a knife

As I recall, the movie spurred sales of "Rambo-style" hunting knives. Would it be appropriate to mention something to this effect? I guess it'd be better if I had some kind of sales numbers, but I do recall seeing this movie (and my younger brother getting a Rambo knife.) -HiFiGuy 13:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
