Category: First Blood

That’s the poster for First Blood that was used in Thailand.  Often overseas posters for American films are better than what we get in the States.  While I like this poster, I’d still give the nod to Drew Struzan’s First Blood poster (which is one of my all-time favorite posters).

I really like Nicolas Gremaud’s riff on First Blood.  Everything about this works from the expression on Rambo’s face to the colors to the small motorcycle / police car chase in the lower left.  You can see a slightly bigger version here and more of Gremaud’s art at his personal site or his Instagram.

Thanks to Regan Greenard for the heads-up.

The photo above is just one of four international posters used to promote First Blood starring Sylvester Stallone. You can see all four on Tony Stella’s Twitter. If you click over you’ll also see a couple of paintings Drew Struzan did for First Blood as well as Tony Stella’s exceptional poster.

Drew Struzan recently posted one of my favorite of his many, many wonderful paintings.  It is, of course, Sly from First Blood.

Drew Struzan regularly posts on his Twitter.  You can also see many of Drew’s posters and paintings at his website.
