Last weekend, Rambomania in Hope, British Columbia, as actors from the film, their families, and fans gathered to commemorate the 40th anniversary of one of the most popular action films of all time. The district of Hope, a town with a population of less than 7,000 people, was located in the Cascade Mountains just two hours east of Vancouver, as the fictional town of Hope in Washington State from 1982. The Sylvester Stallone classic was shot in November 1981 and continued until April. The film produced four sequels, the most popular of which, Rambo: Last Blood, was released in 2019 to mediocre reviews. Brian McKinney, one of the event's founders, told DailyMail.com, "the First Blood symbol has developed into this cult like thing." According to reports, there are close to a billion followers of the 'Rambo' franchise.' From October 7th to the 10th, the festival took place. Among those who attended were Patrick Stack, Stephen Chang, who played Lt. Clinton Morgan, Stephen Chang, who was responsible for much of Rambo's wounding, as well as Brian Dennehy, who starred the legendary Sheriff Will Teasle.
