    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      One of Didier's entourage is wearing sun glasses because as director Garth Jennings puts it at 22:50 in the DVD commentary "He could not stop looking directly into the camera."
    • Goofs
      The First Blood marquee in the opening shot says the film has a "15" rating. That certificate was introduced in 1984-85, part of the Video Recordings Act. In reality, the film was rated "AA," meaning "Passed as suitable only for exhibition to persons of fourteen years and over. When a programme includes an 'AA' film, no persons under fourteen years can be admitted."
    • Quotes

      Lee Carter: I don't care what you and your so-called mates say about me, but don't you ever, ever call my brother a scab! You know, at least he's there for me! At least he cares about me, which is more than I can say for you, blood brother. You're a two-faced fake like the rest of them and I'm gutted it took me this long to work it out. I'm gutted I fell for it, Will. Lawrence is better than all of you and all that lot put together and he's all I've got, alright? He's all I've got.

      [sobs]

      Lee Carter: I didn't come back for you anyway. Where's my camera?

    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the closing credits Carter's voice-over says, "By the way, you spelled the title slightly wrong; there's no 'w' in Rambo". Will replies, "Oh, okay" and Carter then says, "It's still good though".

    I had high hopes for this film as it's very much the era I grew up in.

    I too wanted to send a film for 'Screen Test' (an 80s UK film quiz show for children's TV with a regular slot for home-made films) though I didn't get tosee Sly eating snakes and stitching up his arm till much later.

    I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint at all. The performances were wonderful (especially the young leads) and as well as having more than its fair share of laugh out loud moments, there's a real warmth and emotional truth to this story of friendship, growing up and blowing stuff up.

    I really hope 'Son Of Rambow' is the hit it deserves to be.
