LIMITED EDITION 20th ANNIVERSARY RAMBO FIRST BLOOD PART III BOWIE
 |
|
|
In 1968 David Morrell began writing "First Blood" while in college.
The book was published in 1972. In 1980 Carolco Pictures released the hit movie
of the same name after hiring actor Sylvester Stallone to play the novel's lead
character, John Rambo. (The name "Rambo" actually comes from the Pennsylvania
Rambo apples.) Stallone also wrote the screenplay for the movie. Although the
Rambo character in the book did not have a knife and died in the story, the movie
character brandished a large "survival" knife that went on to become
almost as much of a star as Rambo who survived to reappear in the sequels.
"First Blood"
was followed by two sequels, "Rambo: First Blood Part II" in 1985
(screenplay written by Stallone) and "Rambo III" in 1988 (written
by Stallone). David Morrell wrote novels for both based on the screenplay for
the movies. A fourth (and final?) movie in the Rambo series, titled "Rambo"
(screenplay written by Stallone) is scheduled for release in 2008. Each of the
Rambo movies featured John Rambo and his big knife that was custom designed
for each movie. The Rambo knives were revolutionary to the world of knife enthusiasts
and collectors.
Stallone, who is a knife enthusiast and collector of custom knives, enlisted
the services of two master knifemakers, Jimmy Lile and Gil Hibben, to design
and make the custom knives for the movies. The knifemakers and Stallone collaborated
on the design of each knife. Designs and prototypes were sent back and forth
between the knifemakers and the movie studios until they came up with a knife
that pleased Stallone and the movie prop people. -- Information courtesy of

Opening in Theatres January 25th, 2008, the Newest Rambo movie promises to thrill
with a vengeance.
