Ted Kotcheff’s FIRST BLOOD
(R, 1982, 95 min)
Vietnam veteran and drifter John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into a small Washington town in search of an old friend but is met with intolerance and brutality by the local sheriff, Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy). When Teasle and his deputies restrain and shave Rambo, he flashes back to his time as a prisoner of war and unleashes his fury on the officers. He narrowly escapes the manhunt, but it will take his former commander (Richard Crenna) to save the hunters from the hunted.

John Milius’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN
(R, 1982, 129 min)
Here is the blockbuster that turned Arnold Schwarzenegger into a global superstar. After enduring the murder of his parents and his enslavement by evil cult leader Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), Conan sets out on a mission of vengeance. Oliver Stone contributed to Milius's screenplay, and the production design by comic artist Ron Cobb represents a perfect cinematic realization of Robert E. Howard's fantasy world.
