However, the helicopter loses control and pitches, and Galt, who had deliberately unbuckled his safety belt in order to get a better shot, falls out of the aircraft to his death at the bottom of the rocky gorge, a hundred feet below. The pilot, fearing for this, then flies away. Teasle, who did not see Galt's attempt to kill Rambo, flies into a rage and vows to avenge his friend's death. Rambo then finds Galt's body and looks at it in a deranged rage. Rambo shakes Galt's lifeless corpse in fury, remembering the chilling things the now dead Galt did to him. However, Rambo hears the others coming, so he takes Galt's rifle and coat before leaving for the woods. |

+ | Galt was a cruel, sadistic, arrogant man, even more brutal than the film's main antagonist, [[Will Teasle]], who is his closest friend, and is the only person who perishes in the film. Aside of being a sadistic and rude control freak, Galt was willing to abuse his power to brutalize people he is not fond with, such as John Rambo, which proved to be the last mistake he would ever make. |
− | + | Galt was a particularly deplorable human being, who liked to demonize people who he sees as lower than him, shown as when he beat John Rambo and demeaned [[Leroy ]] by telling him to "sling that paint, boy". While it is apparent that Galt's co-workers didn't give him any trouble, he did not appear to be well-liked by really anyone he worked with (with the exception of Teasle) as nobody seemed to care when he died except for Teasle (and [[Mrs. Galt|his unnamed widow]] in a deleted scene). It is strongly implied that Rambo is not the first person that Galt has brutalized. Also, despite being best friends with Teasle, it appears to be one-sided that Teasle was oblivious to as Galt was willing to disobey Teasle out of his own selfishness two times in the movie when Rambo escape police custody (the first time with Galt preparing to shoot Rambo on the street that prompts Teasle to physically disarm him to prevent him from harming any of the townspeople and second time when Galt was trying to gun down Rambo from the helicopter and ignoring Teasle's orders on the radio which leads to his own death). |

Even after finding out that Rambo was in Vietnam, his hatred for him increased and he decided to beat Rambo severely. It is unknown as to why he did this, possibly because he thought Rambo was using his veteran status to receive special treatment (another theory is that due to Survival Mode revealing Galt to have been in the United States Marine Corps in Infantry, but never saw combat and Teasle expressing prejudice against Rambo for being a Vietnam War vet who puts Korean War vets like Teasle in their shadow, it's possible Galt harbored similar vindictive jealousy for Rambo being a veteran who actually saw combat, while non-combat vets like Galt are forgotten along with Korean War vets). Another theory is that Galt was simply bored and fed up with Rambo's attitude and used his power and authority to "keep him in line". |

− | Teasle grew up with Galt and worked with him, so he had to have known that Galt was brutalizing the criminals and let it slide. Although Teasle claimed that Rambo murdered a police officer", he was clearly thinking with his heart and not his head. Teasle knew about Galt's nature and disposition and knew that Rambo likely killed Galt in self-defense, which is what happened, coupled with Galt's own foolish actions. Although Rambo would be charged for destruction of property, he would likely not be charged with Galt's death. |

Despite not being the primary antagonist of First Blood, he is actually more of a villain than Teasle, and it can be argued that, because of this, he is actually the primary antagonist of First Blood, as the rest of Teasle's actions are to avenge Galt's death. However, Galt died pretty early on in the film, so it can be argued that he is the secondary antagonist, but more of a villain than Teasle himself, the film's primary antagonist. Galt's carefree attitude to the horrible acts he regularly commits is loathed by fans of the series, and he is often thought of as the least likeable antagonist in the entire series, aside from [[Pa Tee Tint|Tint]], the merciless paedophile from [[Rambo IV]]. |
