I rewatched First Blood the other night, as I’ve been listening to this podcast and the guy references all kinds of classic movies that sometimes slip my mind, and so the other night I revisited First Blood.

In the movie the character Trautman played by Richard Crenna might be the first guy that comes to my mind when you think of the movie trope of “the government guy in a trenchcoat” who inevitably shows up and seems to have all of the answers.

This movie is the first example of of this that I can think of where this guy shows up. I’m not saying this is the first one, just the first one that I can think of at first glance.

Any other ones come to mind ?
