Well, they may have already been in situ for the movie, but they were still featured so here they are guys. These are seen when Stallone runs up the side of the mountain, and stumbles into a junkyard, which was actually found while filming, so Stallone decided to add it to the movie, which in turn, this is where Stallone finds that tarp which he wears for a good part of the movie. The junkyard which is situated on Burke mountain in BC, had been lost since 1981, and a friend found it about 7 months ago. As our other friend Herve Attia, was making part 4 to his On Te Set Of First Blood filming locations documentary which can be seen on youtube, I and Herve travelled to BC to film the location, as we also did for the Delmar Berry property location (which can be seen in the intro of the movie). These places were full of bears, and the junkyard was very hard to get to, having to cross a strong running stream, which was only 2 feet from the edge of a sheer drop. But we made it, and I came back with all manner keepsakes, which have been lost for all these years, and were featured in the movie.
The first being the actual junkyard truck handle that Stallone uses to open the truck door with. The second was the steering wheel from the truck (big problems getting that darn thing off), power cable from the same 18 wheeler trailer, which Stallone uses on his tarp, and finally a piece of bark from around the clothes line hook on the Delmar Berry tree, and a roof tile from the building which stallone walks past when we first see him at the start of the movie. Maybe these are not big things, but to a devote First Blood fan, its like gold dust to me.
This is also a cop jacket which was actually worn by one of the actors in the movie. This is a scene of us recreating the Galt death scene, on the same rock as in the movie.
The door handle Stallone uses to open the truck.
The cable which was taken from the same trailer as Stallone used for the movie tarp.
The truck as it looks now...minus a few bits and bobs. ;-)
The trailer which Stallone runs into to get the power cable for his tarp.
