someone else lost, and if winning means he has to die then he'll die, no fear, no regrets. That is what makes Rambo the ultimate fighting machine and the ultimate movie character.I love this movie. I love how far fetched it is. I love that Rambo can withstand hours of torture and then have enough energy to escape into the jungle and take on the whole Vietnemese and Russian army. That is what makes this movie so damned entertaining. When I was 14, this was my favourite movie, and it took a great many films and years before it was dethroned. I think I can enjoy and appreciate movies like Apocalypse Now and JFK better than when I was 14, but my love for Rambo and films of its kind will never diminish. This movie is amazing from start to finish.Rambo's mission in this film is to go back to Vietnam and see if he can find a certain camp that may be harbouring POW's. But if he finds these men, he can only take pictures. He has a problem with that and when he does find one he is left behind by the "stinkin bureaucrat" named Murdoch who orders the mission aborted before Trautman can pick him up. It is while Rambo is captured that the movie becomes tight, tense and incredibly entertaining. Rambo is also fun to watch on a physical level. Stallone was in the best shape of his life in 1985 as he simultaneously made Rambo and Rocky IV. He is huge, ripped and strong as hell in this movie and it is his psychical presence that adds to his persona. He single handedly goes through a whole army and lives to go get the bastards that left him behind. Rambo is one of the old school feel good summer type movies.Rambo does not claim to be JFK or Mississippi Burning in the sense that it wants you to leave the theater with a message. It has its own beliefs that is for certain, but what Rambo does just like Raiders does is, it entertains. It has you rooting and cheering for Rambo and dissing and swearing at the bad guys for 90 minutes. It is so much fun that I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes to be entertained. Leave your politics for some other movie, that is not what Rambo is about. It is about being entertained and wearing your emotions on your sleeve. That is what is beautiful about this movie. It doesn't apologize for being a bit over the top. Neither should you, for enjoying the film. It is a true wonder. A great piece of entertainment.

year and it was very competitive with Rambo but this movie won because it was more box office successful. I love this film to death It is the sequel to First Blood 1982 , and the second installment in the Rambo film series In my opinion it is Stallone's best film."Sir, do we get to win this time? "Awesome and very great intense underrated sequel . it Is a very joy great action movie . Action adventure fun with some substance. Different than the first one , but great as an archetypical good versus bad movie. Very decent, good movie, very entertaining, fast paced wonderful action Hard-R fight scenes and some nice one-liners war movie. There's no shaky cam or CGI here but real explosions. Bad-ass action film I absolutely love it to death! James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone wrote the script that is why this movie was such a bad-ass action. Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Aliens proves to be one of the best action movies from James Cameron he wrote and directed them, that is why Rambo: First Blood Part II was such a success. Brilliantly directed by George P. Cosmatos who later directed Cobra with Sylvester Stallone again Leviathan with Richard Crenna again and Tombstone. Of course, this wouldn't be an action movie without some action. There's plenty of it, and it's perfectly done. Great action, a slick pace and a barrage of great moments a random soldier being shot by an exploding arrow being my personal favorite may not make this high art, but it does create a fun time at the movies, which is what movies are meant to do. It also helps that it has a great score, which sets the tone very well. You have ton's of explosions real practical effects. You see a lot of heavy weapons and they are used well. Rambo uses a knife and kills the bad guys, well, he's Rambo and his knife completes him. Rambo uses Hoyt Archery compound bow which has been well know as the "Torque Bow" because of the high explosive arrow tips. I have never seen in any action movie a bow and explosives arrows. Rambo uses a flying helicopter kills all the bad guys blows whole base and saves POW's captured prisoners. In this movie you have Russians and Vietcongs as the bad guys. Rambo blows up an enemy boat by pulling an RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launcher blows them to hell. Great explosion I have ever seen. Rambo blows up Podovsky's Hind helicopter with another grenade launcher M72 LAW.Excellent solid cast Sylvester Stallone does great excellent performance as legendary John Rambo Vietnam vet. I love the character to death. Richard Crenna R.I.P. as Col. Samuel Trautman was excellent I really miss him. Charles Napier R.I.P. as Marshall Murdock was fantastic bad guy. The acting is fantastic from Richard Crenna and Charles Napier the politics were important, such as a right-wing stance coming from Trautman and his nemesis, Murdock, contrasted by Rambo's obvious neutrality. Great music score from Jerry Goldsmith R.I.P.10/10 Bad-ass action film I absolutely love it to death, it is my number 1 action film ! Puts most of action movies to shame. Today they aren't action movies like are this one. Today they are just lousy CGI bullsh** crap.

simple puppet in the hands of America.Not a simple human instrument.America offended and pushed him in the first movie.Rambo is an anti-hero,he really don't care 'bout America.He cares 'bout american soldiers STILL trapped in that hell.Point.Have you understand ? Best sequence: All the movie.My favourite :The Co Bau's death...so poetic.Sly seems a dancer when he fights,but he's one of the greatest actor too.He's not only a bunch of muscles !!!!!!! If you love good movies,you'll love "Rambo:First blood part 2".The mother of all the action flicks !!!!!!!!!!! Without it,forget "Die hard" and "Lethal weapon".Forget the word "Action" .

because it is the true Action Genre fan's dream film. The body count is astronomical and these aren't innocents in the wrong place like the first time...these are bad Vietcong and Russian war mongers holding prisoners so Stallone's Rambo can rip through them. After seeing First Blood I think the immediate question on anyones mind is..."When do I get to see Rambo become this killing machine that we get a glimpse of?" and the film makers and Stallone who wrote this installment said 'RIGHT NOW!' and they deliver and make us understand completely Rambo's brutal machine-like soldier personality and experiences.Sylvester Stallone returns in full form as John Rambo and doesn't forget all the work he put into establishing this character in the original film. He's still quiet, angry, brooding, and finding his way in a U.S. Prison after being locked up after the events of the first film. But now he's got a mission that he can't turn away from. Stallone is the ultimate killing machine and yet the film still has the back bone of a story. Again like First Blood the final scene and dialog between Stallone and Crenna is really quite moving. Stallone is right on track and at the top of his game. Richard Crenna returns as Stallone's only friend and the only one he trusts. Crenna never gets very involved in the story or gives a lot of arc to his character but he's the balance to Rambo's character and he is decent for that and a staple to the series. Charles Napier takes over from Brian Dennehy as the hard ass military man who becomes more of a nemesis to Rambo than an ally. He is great in his role and the final showdown with him and Rambo is classic. Julia Nickson-Soul is also very good as Rambo's love interest and quasi-partner who saves his skin a couple of times. They don't get a lot of time to establish their romance and yet they still somehow make it believable.Obviously First Blood 2 isn't some Oscar worthy masterpiece. But from an action genre perspective it's truly mind blowing. I mean the action is non-stop with spectacular fight scenes, and nail biting escapes including an unbelievable Helicopter chase that leaves you on the edge of your seat. But then you also have an actual story underneath it all about these POW's tortured for years and you have the continued emotional and physical battle Rambo plays with himself over the war and how he's treated by his country. It's not a perfect movie. I think the Rambo series is one of the worst for stereotyping races...the picture perfect Vietnamese accents in English, and same with the Russians. Crenna is rather dull in the film as he was in the first one. But focus on the action and the sequences and the story and if you love action films this is one that will absolutely blow your mind. This is the second time I've seen it and it's going right into my keep pile because this is one movie I'll be watching again and again. Its 80's action CLASSIC PERIOD!! 9.5/10

fun movie,better than i remembered it from the last time i had seen it,when it first came out in the theatre.for me Rambo:First Blood Part II is a 9/10

and harsh comments on acting, look at the Broad Picture here, or like Murdock...did you forget too? A hell of an action film, well done stunt work mostly done by Stallone Well worth watching for many reasons.

emotions, tension, and adrenaline. The viewer relates with John Rambo his pain, and how the government lies. The action takes the viewer on a incredible ride. I love the battlecry he gives out when he does a chopper assault on the bad guys, and the explosive arrow that smashes his adversary, along with the machine gunning of the computer system at the base. The camera angles, expressions, and physical acting is perfectly done. You leave the picture feeling good, and that is what movie escapism should be. Stallone, who is ridiculed, along with Arnold for his physical acting, can with this ability create a great stage presence. This emotion he creates with his body is done by, how he walks, flexs his arm etc. Could Robert De Niro done this film, maybe ie Cape Fear Tom Cruise no way, Val Kilmer No. This film is what an action film should be, I've seen very few lines for an Action movie as long as this one. PS the speech at the end gave the spirit of what the film was about.

when he tries to take some pow's out with him, he wasn't meant to do that, he was ordered to only take photos, so he's left behind to be captured , imprisoned and tortured by those oh so nasty RUSSIANS! Sly really had it in for the reds in 1985 after this film, he sent Rocky out to Russia to beat up that other nasty Russian Ivan Drago! It must have been what the people wanted as this and Rocky IV were two of the biggest smashes of the year. Steven Berkhoff plays the Russian bad guy in practically a carbon copy of his role in the James Bond film Octopussy, he does it well though, he was one of Hollywoods favourite bad guys of the mid 80's, you might remember him in Beverly Hills Cop, which was a film initially intended for........Sylvester Stallone! This movie has just been giving the DVD special edition treatment, buy it, and get yourself one of the greatest action flms ever made.
