Amazon.co.uk Review
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
He's back! Superstar Sylvester Stallone is John Rambo, the ultimate action hero, in this explosive Oscar-nominated sequel to First Blood that boasts a riveting screenplay by Stallone and James Cameron (Titanic). Although the Vietnam War is officially over, Rambo remains the perfect fighting machine. But his survival skills are tested with a vengeance on a top-secret mission that takes him back to the jungles of Vietnam in search of American POW's. For when Rambo is double-crossed, this "expendable" hero, armed with just his bow, arrows and knife, must defeat savage enemies equipped with deadly firepower. Co-starring Richard Crenna and Charles Napier, Rambo: First Blood Part II is a must for every action-adventure fan!

Format:DVD
This version is NOT full widescreen, as the sides of the picture are chopped off. It is not Dolby 5.1 either. Buy the Stallone Rambo Trilogy by Artisan instead, currently the best trilogy DVD set available - from amazon.com (cheapest). If you aren't as technically fussy as me, then please ignore. Enjoy!

Format:DVD
These films have certainly been panned over the years, especially the last two films. But usaully the critics doing the panning have no interest or knowledge of the action film genre. Ok so they are not going to win any oscars for their acting or scripts but for slam bang action pure & simple you cant go wrong. They are certainly alot better than the rubbish Seagel and Van Damme churn out. They are also well filmed. The helicopter attack on the village and the Afgan horsemen charging the Russian army in Rambo 3 are two scenes in particular that come to mind. So if you want an afternoon(or evening)of great action these are the movies for you!

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.

1980's Action hero
The sequel to First Blood than made Rambo an icon. It's the 1980's of course and one man can make a difference!!

rambo 2
This is the weakest out of the four Rambo films however it is still entertaining and worth having as part of the quadrilogy collection.
