First Blood T-shirt - M

First Blood T-shirt John Rambo walks into Hope, Washington and basically just wants to find something to eat. Sheriff Teasle sees a quiet man with long hair and a military jacket and chooses the municipal strategy: “Him there we will absolutely provoke.” That would have been a half-baked idea for most people. Against a decorated Green Beret with Vietnam experience, survival training and a very complicated relationship with authority, it becomes the entire film’s plot. An arrest becomes a flight. A flight becomes a manhunt. A manhunt becomes the moment when the police realize that the forest technically is Rambos’ office. “We’d just like to get him out of town” suddenly becomes the most expensive decision on the council’s agenda. This First Blood T-shirt is for Rambo fans who know that the film began with mistreatment of one man – and ended with the whole town receiving a very thorough lesson in conflict escalation.
