NipkowDisc Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 sylvester stallone in first blood from 1982. while not a war film in the strictest sense it certainly touches on Vietnam vets and in a positive way; that they were unfairly demonized by the left when they came back. Sylvester stallone deserves credit for not only creating the character of John Rambo but addressing the unfair trashing of the Vietnam vet straight on... and I bet that Rambo could beat the crap outta billy jack.

jakeem Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't remember what Siskel and Ebert said about "First Blood," but I've always gotten a kick out of their TV review of the 1985 sequel, "Rambo: First Blood Part II." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nLfjKzLx2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The Anderson Platoon (1967) and Oscar winning documentary about Viet Nam by French film director, Pierre Schoendoeffer. Prints are in English. Sadly part of history that the mainstream media ignores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
