One of the most popular scenes in Rambo III is Rambo’s Thai Stickfight with Harold Diamond. There aren’t many photos of the scene, so when a rare one surfaces we like to share it.

“First Blood” – The Thailand Poster
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).

“Rocky” Poster and Character Portraits by Leonardo Paciarotti!
Leonardo Paciarotti is a talented illustrator / comic book artist from Valencia, Spain. Paciarotti created the Rocky poster above and the character pics below. Paciarotti must be a true fan of the Rocky universe because these aren’t the only Rocky related pieces he created. You can click on the images below to see them biggie-size and then click over to Leonardo Paciarotti’s Instagram or ArtStation pages to see more of his wonderful art!

Thanks to Brian Stross for the heads-up.
“First Blood” by Nicolas Gremaud
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.

Miki Edge Disseny is a graphic artist who makes alternative posters and t-shirts. He created the Rocky poster above and the Cobra print below. I like them both, but the Cobra really resonates with me.
