Rambo enthusiasts descended upon Hope, B.C. for a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the film First Blood, on Saturday.

The well-known movie was mostly filmed in the community of Hope and organizers said they expected fans from across the world to attend.

The event saw a crowd gather on a closed-off street in Hope, where a tank made an appearance and drove over a car, flattening it in the process.
