Great news!  A release date of July 27, 2010 has been announced for the Rambo: Extended CutSZoner, Alex Lamprey, sent in a link to this Digital Bits announcement that the Rambo: Extended Cut would be nine minutes longer and contain a 90 minute video production diary.

According to this report at Inside Pulse Movies,  the new edition will be a…

complete recut of Stallone’s film…

Cliff Stephenson, who worked on the new release says…

“…the movie no longer begins with the “contest” the soldiers force upon the Karen villagers. There are lots of little tweaks, restructuring and changes throughout (including the removal or shortening of some of the more questionable FX shots). I happen to think it’s a far superior version of the movie when directly compared to the theatrical cut…”

The Rambo: Extended Cut Blu-Ray is set to retail for $19.99, but Amazon is discounting orders here.

Each Rocky movie could honestly have occupied a slot on this list—if you’re watching one, you’re eventually going to see Sylvester Stallone pulling a cart through the snow, or doing one-armed pullups on a Philly playground, or doing wind sprints down a beach with Carl Weathers. Eye of the tiger, baby.

When Mickey Rourke was questioned about the outfit he wore to the Iron Man II premiere, he credited Sly with turning him on to the clothes designer.  According to this article, Rourke stated:
