First Blood was released 30 years ago this week, and its still the best of the four. Best Stallone movie too. Something to mark First Blood being released that October is some new long-lost footage. When they aired the movie in Canada on TV, the censors said it was too violent. Scenes had to be cut, so much that it significantly shortened the movie. So they replaced those scenes with unused footage. Some guy found this actual version in his basement last year and uploaded the cut material to youtube. In pretty good condition for a 25 year old VHS. None of this was ever included in Blu Ray or DVD as extra’s.
