Fully restored for the first time ever, Rambo: First Blood Part II picks up three years after the events of First Blood. Vietnam veteran John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone – Rocky, Creed, The Expendables) is offered a prison pardon in exchange for accepting a perilous mission: infiltrating communist Vietnam under deep cover to hunt for evidence of missing American servicemen. His CIA handler Marshall Murdock (Charles Napier) insists that it is merely a reconnaissance operation. “Do not engage the enemy,” Rambo is ordered, “Just take pictures.” After a disastrous parachute drop, Rambo is left stranded in the jungle with only his combat knife and bow and arrows to protect him. Review: Nothing to add - Great sequel with plenty of action Review: the second instalment in the Rambo saga - "Rambo: First Blood Part 2" (1985) is a violent action film, written by Sylvester Stallone and James Cameron. Here, Stallone reprises his role as John Rambo, an ex-special forces Vietnam veteran who's suffering from post-traumatic stress as a consequence of the War. This film is a sequel to the original 'First Blood' movie (based on the bestselling novel by David Morrell), and it's set a few years after the events depicted in that earlier film (which ended with Rambo being detained by the authorities, following the mayhem he caused after going on the run from the police) . This second instalment in the movie series opens with Rambo being released from prison - on the condition that he undertakes a covert mission for the CIA. He's tasked with secretly entering Vietnam and taking photos of any remaining American POW's at an old (supposedly abandoned) camp. Rambo agrees - but isn't satisfied with photos. He finds POW's and rescues one ... only the CIA don't like this eventuality, and it's decided to leave Rambo behind enemy lines. Rambo's captured and tortured. Yet he manages to escape, battles the Vietnam soldiers (and the Soviet ones also stationed there), rescues the POW's and then flies to an American base across the border. For its time, this was an intense action movie - and even today (over 30 years later) the action sequences hold up. Rambo is depicted as, quite literally, a one-man army - capable of enduring horrendous tortures, refusing to break, and always ready to fight back. When enraged, he's unstoppable. This is one of the most popular of Stallone's films. Okay, its plot is fairly simple and straightforward. Yet this movie was a defining element in 1980's Western popular culture. If you're a fan of action films, I thoroughly recommend it. It helps to have watched "First Blood", but that isn't essential. This Blu-ray edition presents very good video and audio quality - but, unfortunately, there are few extras. Just to say, a Blu-ray box set of all four Rambo films is available.

You Do Not Have To Be A Rambo Fan To Enjoy This
At last, a Rambo movie on Blu-Ray and very good it is too! Sylvestor Stallone reprises his role as Rambo who has been sent to prison for causing havoc in a small town (Rambo:First Blood). He is given an opportunity for a pardon by his former commander(Richard Crenna)if he takes a mission into Vietnamese held territory just to take some pictures of areas where American POWs may be held. All the weapons he is permitted are bows and arrows (yes, honest!) He is then betrayed by another superior officer when he finds out that Rambo has found out more than he should have done and attempts to rescue the prisoners of war in order to bring them home. It is a typical gung-ho all action movie which will not only please Rambo fans, but all action fans too. Great fun from start to finish. The Blu-Ray version is quite good, showing greater detail in the jungle scenes, supplemented with a great home cinema style soundtrack which will please sound enthusiasts. Only quibble is, there arent a great deal of extras available, just a film of an interview held in Paris in 2000. It's a minor quibble though.

Don't push me!!!
Item arrived when advised it would, bought it for my Missus as she (claims to be) a huge Stallone fan (Rocky in particular)! My question is; how can you be a Stallone fan and NOT have seen any (or even heard of) the Rambo franchise!?!?!? After I mocked her, I let her watch and as I thought she LOVED it/them :-)
