From Amazon.co.uk
After Rocky and its sequels, Sylvester Stallone cast about for another character that would bring him the same kind of box-office hit--and found it in disillusioned Vietnam vet John Rambo in First Blood, a solid little action thriller. So when all else failed, Stallone went back to the same well in hopes of recapturing the same commercial success. Which this film did. But where First Blood was a no-nonsense thriller that pitted Stallone against a worthy (and not necessarily bad) Brian Dennehy, this one is a sadistic chest-thumper in which Rambo gets to go back to Vietnam: ostensibly, he is there to rescue missing POWs, but in fact the movie was a lame excuse for him to refight the Vietnam War--and win. Audiences ate up the cruel Vietcong (and their Russian manipulators) and Stallone's bogus heroics, but it was strictly by-the-numbers action. --Marshall Fine
The Rambo trilogy is also available on DVD as a complete set.
Product Description
Second film in the Rambo trilogy. Former Green Beret John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is serving time in a federal prison when his old commander, Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna), arranges his release. A group of American soldiers are still being held as prisoners of war in Vietnam, and Trautman wants Rambo to return to the killing fields on a daring rescue mission.

The first one was better but it's overall a must see. Good Action Movie.
Plus a good 9 min. Interview with Sly from 2008. He talks about all 4 Movies.
The Blue Ray has only DVD Quality.
For all Germans like me: Deutsche Sprache dabei. Und das engl.Interview mit Sly hat dt.Untertitel.

Film itself is good just how i remembered it, the quality is good but nothing to shout home about, the transfer to Blu-ray is not that good probably of DVD quality. I purchased all four of the Rambo films and the quality does get better in each Blu-ray. A good buy though.

Cracking thriller!
This is a cracking thriller in the usual explosive Stallone style. The Blu-Ray transfer is superb. Could have done without the bad language though, otherwise I would have given it... Read more
