Turkish imitation of Rambo-First Blood.
ersin127 March 2001
Produced by Anit Ticaret owned by Mehmet Karahafiz. Cetin Inanc produced this movie with same casting as The Man who saves the world. With the same casting he produced a lot of b-movies. Mostly were imitation movies from Hollywood. Cuneyt Arkin (also known as George Arkin or Steve Arkin) is a star of this action movie.

This is not the first imitation Rambo movie of this director, he made also another Rambo imitation movie : Serdar (actor of this movie was a body builder).

The story is same as Rambo-First Blood. But casting is not professional. There is nothing more to write about this movie. It is a b-action movie with Turkish sense of action and erotic.

Turkish FIRST BLOOD!
trashonline29 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Former war veteran Kan Rambo (Turkish cult cinema legend Cuneyt Arkin) has to fight against an evil gang of bikers when they refuse to let him enter their village and live a peaceful life. Poor Sly Stallone would probably have a stroke if he ever had a chance to view this atrocious, unbelievable piece of trash! Besides the hilarious direction and editing and the destructive sound FX make this an unbelievable viewing experience. Not to mention there is plenty of gore and even a bunch of zombies attacking a young woman (who has the camera placed between her legs while driving her car). VAHSI KAN has no shame when it comes to ripping off Ted Kotcheff's action blockbuster- they even lifted Jerry Goldsmith's score!

For everyone that says this is a carbon copy, I raise you the zombies

The team of Cetin Inanc and Cuneyt Arkin create movies that make my head hurt so badly in the best of ways. Wild Blood, known by some as Turkish Rambo, is a movie that will own you. Buckle up, get your motion sickness pills and leave your ideas of what makes a good or bad movie behind - we're going to Turkey.

Arkin plays Riza, a man who gets harassed as soon as he gets to town. He kicks their asses so badly that the army has to get involved. They were sent by a deformed man who blames our hero, but other than that, nearly every single scene and much of the dialogue of this movie comes straight out of Stallone's second and more populist take on John Rambo.

It also isn't afraid to outright steal the soundtrack of that movie either.

Unlike Rambo's films, this movie also begins with an army of zombies menacing Emel Tumer, pawing at her in a scene that feels like it came from another movie, which is pretty much a compliment in this world. Except they aren't zombies, but you could totally be excused if you wondered if they were. She responds by stabbing the leader of the gang with a tree branch and running away.

This is followed by the gang attacking Riza and him basically jumping off a cliff and surviving because, well, he's Cuneyt Arkin. He lives in a cave and rescues the girl, but the wheelchair bad guy and a gangster blow it up and she dies, so our hero decides to kill everyone and everything and everybody.

You know when you would see a movie as a kid and then draw your own versions of it? Imagine if the paper you were drawing it on was coated with LSD and you have an idea of just how jaw-droppingly audacious this movie gets.

Inanc liked Rambo: First Blood Part II so much that he made it twice, following this movie with 1986's Korkusuz (Rampage), starring bodybuilder Serdar Kebapcilar.

1 to 1 copy&paste of the First Blood
MrGocen12 February 2006
When I first watched this movie,I don't know "the truth" and I begin to watch from the mid-time of the film. When I first heard the name "Can", which is some kind of a translation of the name "John" in the original one, I was surprisingly remember "the First Blood- Rambo" and then I watch the movie according to the scenario of the First Blood. It was 1-to-1 copy of the story, although most of the cast and their acting was seem as unreal, and disgusting. "Can Rambo" (Cüneyt Arkin) was the only one, who attempted to act as the original "John J. Rambo". Cüneyt Arkin is one of the most known actor in Turkey and he was usually acting as "fighter" against the all evil-kind powers in his all heroic films like "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam". He was also acting in Vahsi Kan as this "tradition of him", although the fact that the original "John Rambo" was not a "galaxy-fighter hero". Anyway, the movie may be shown as the worst copy of an original movie in the theaters in Movie and Acting Academy Sessions.
