Find out where it all happened and how to get there...

Although First Blood was filmed more than a quarter a century ago many of us world wide are still fascinated with the movie that started the Rambo franchise.  The Town of Hope has a number of tourists yearly that take the Rambo tour, which allows you to tour the locations shot around town and out to the Othello Tunnels where the cliff scenes were filmed.  This sight is for the adventurous First Blood fans who would like to visit all the locations.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that besides the Town, Bridge and Cliff scenes, everything else was filmed in and around the Greater Vancouver area.  The journey will take you from Hope to North Vancouver and various places in between.  Many of these places are very desolate, overgrown and forgotten.  I hope you enjoy this website and make the trip out to see these filming locations for yourself.   It has detailed descriptions, maps, and pictures to let you know exactly where they are and how to get there.

The knives and related links sections are reserved for Rambo knives that contain information on the custom knife makers who are now re-creating these legendary knives. The related links includes a list of websites that are dedicated to First Blood and the people who helped and supported me with this project. 

I have dedicated a page to Grand Master Stephen Chang, the RAMBO VC Commander who gave Rambo the iconic scars in the movie.  I studied Kung fu with Grand Master Chang many years ago and was able to track him down again on IMDB.  It was both a pleasure and an honor to meet with him again and talk about his iconic role in the film.

I also have many pictures in my personal collection of each of the locations that I haven’t posted on my website.  If you would like more information or pictures for any of the sites please don’t hesitate to contact me.
