Rambo Ultimate Editions

Craig / October 3, 2004April 21, 2021 / 2004, Rambo II, Rambo III

On November 23rd the Rambo Ultimate Collection will be released as a three disc set.

First Blood, Rambo II, and Rambo III will also be re-released individually as Ultimate Editions.

While I’m not sure what new extras these editions will have, I do really like the new packaging and will keep you informed of additional info on the Ultimate series as it becomes available.

It’s great to see Sly‘s movies getting special treatment. This can only add to the positive buzz that’s building..

Thanks to Tarek for the tip!

Rambo Trilogy Action Figures

Craig / February 17, 2003November 24, 2017 / 2003, First Blood, Rambo II, Rambo III

“Slmboyross” posted a link at the StalloneZone message board to some very cool photos of a trio of Rambo Action figures that are scheduled for release later this year. Mirage Toys which is an off-shoot of N2 Toys [which went out of business] is set to release a Rambo figure based on the character as he looked from each of the Rambo films. It’s a cool idea and the figures look like winners.

100 Best Action Movies

Craig / January 25, 2003December 25, 2009 / 2003, Honors, Nighthawks, Rambo II

Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes wants everyone to know that the current issue of PREMIERE (Feb 2003) lists “The 100 BEST action movies on DVD” and you know Sly was on there. Here is what it said:

# 53.NIGHTHAWKS (1981, GOODTIMES ENTERTAIMENT )
Sylvester Stallone made his finest action film long before he got locked in the Rambo-Rocky sequel cycle. In this gritty and unsentimental police tale, Sly and his partner, Billy Dee Williams, chase a chillingly cut-throat international terrorist ( Rutger Hauer ) through the streets , clubs and subways of New York City.

# 63. RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II ( 1985, ARTISAN HOME ENTERTAINMENT )
Sylvester Stallone‘s John Rambo goes back behind the bamboo curtian to rescue American POW’s in Vietnam from the clutches of Commie rats.Despite the pandering politics, the movie’s attitude is solidly antiauthoritarian, and the super cut, tanned Stallone is fun to watch when he lets the machine gun rip.

Great choices I thought !

Peace,
Jazz
