First Blood in Theaters Must Have Been a Hell of an Experience
Finished the movie again, today, and can't help but noticed how a sherrif from a small US town would say "with that flag on your jacket... you're asking for trouble" to a war vet. Which got me thinking, given the time of release, political atmosphere, and general opinion of the Vietnam war, how impactful was First Blood if any on the general public?
Was it an instant classic or did it take time to build a following? Did seeing a badass war hero suddenly be vulnerable do anything?
To those who had been around to see it in theaters and after, what's your experience?
Edit for grammar.
