Pardon?
No, I'm not having hearing difficulties, but after being locked up and then
giving the chance to complete a new military mission, that's one thing he
might receive if he succeed in his task.
However, rather than break out as many American POWs being held captive as
he can, all he's been asked to do is take photos of their plight as proof.
Will he only do that, or will he stir up some shit along the way and cause
havoc, ensuring none of them are left behind? Hmmm... tough choice.
In short, he has just 36 hours to get in, rescue POWs and exit. The authorities
have other ideas as Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is double-crossed and left
behind enemy lines with evil Russian madman Lt. Colonel Padovsky (Steven Berkoff)
to deal with and be tortured by (with a Vinnie Jones-a-like by his side), plus a
bit of totty, Co Bao (Julia Nickson), tagging along for the ride.
The film takes a while to get going, but you know what to expect when the trailer
announces "No man, no law, no war can stop him" and Trautman (Richard Crenna)
tells big-wig admin man Murdock (Charles Napier), "What you call hell, he calls
home".
Like the first film, the picture quality is excellent with just some print scratches
causing a slight problem at times, but nothing to worry about.
The average bitrate is 5.85Mb/s, occasionally peaking over 9Mb/s.
Explosions, gunfire. It's all here in spades once the action gets going.
Extras :
There's a lot more supplemental material on this DVD than on the first film's
and much of it is culled from on-set interviews and soundbites, blended in
with a typical 'making of' macho voiceover, most of which are cut down into
chunks of a little over two minutes, while the second of the three
featurettes I'm about to mention is seven-and-a-half minutes long. These
are Creating the Beauty of War, Action in the Jungle and Preparing
for Action. Two brief documentaries are included: The Last American
POW, showing the reasoning behind why the film was made since around
2500 Vietnam veterans were still being held as POWs twelve years after the
others had come home and Sean Baker: Fulfilling a Dream, the tale of
a 16-year-old boy with a terminal disease who watched the first film 220 times
and apparently learned from Rambo's strength and determination. And there was
me thinking he was going to kill loads of people.
A two-and-a-half minute Theatrical Trailer cropped to 4:3 fullscreen,
plus more of the aforementioned footage is used in the Personality Profile
on Stallone and Interviews with Stallone and Richard Crenna,
while the Behind the scenes footage is raw work-in-progress from the
dailies.
A 12-strong Photo Gallery and 8 Hidden TV Spots complete
the extras line-up.
Surround sound is in English, Italian and German, with subtitles in
English, German, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.
The main menu has both music from the film mixed in with clips and sounds
just as good as on the first disc. The film is quite well-chaptered with
20 over the 91 minutes.
The Rambo Trilogy on DVD.
This DVD in the trilogy has the most amount of extras, but the film itself does have some
slow moments whereas the original used these to build up tension. It's a great shout when
the bullets fly though and spawned a memorable ZX Spectrum game by Manchester's Ocean
Software back in the mid-80s...
Hmm... attribute clash... LOAD ""... jumpers for goalposts...
