" Only a few years after the all-out guerrilla war in First Blood, John Rambo's former commanding officer, Colonel Sam Trautman, pulls him out of jail, only to send him back to a place he swore never to return: the impenetrable jungles of Vietnam. Entrusted with the dangerous task of collecting evidence that American POWs are still being held captive, Rambo agrees to infiltrate the unknown zone, and before long, he finds himself double-crossed, marooned behind the enemy lines. Once, John fough"

“(MU) More box office stuff, less qualities, that's the route from Kotchedd to Pan Cosmatos. But this simplification has a good counterpart on symbolic forceful mythification. Rambo emergin from the water and seizing a helicopter, covered with mud as a force of nature, shooting on the compurers. His final dialogues with Crenna are lousy, and women are expendable...” read more

"I'll be honest here, the main reason I liked the first First Blood was because of the manner that Rambo was able to seriously kick ass without as much snickering or as many eyerolls from movie viewers that the character began to get starting with Part II. For me, that first chapter in this series was was able to straddle the fine line of being over the top and yet down to earth at the same time. After R:FBP2 however, Sly's crazy ex-soldier easily crossed over that line and just sorta became more"

"7.5. DVD Uusintakatselu. Kakkososa ei hassua ja järjetöntä eskapismia kummempaa ole, mutta sellaisena aivan mainio. Räiskintä ei ihan koko ajan jaksa kiinnostaa, kun monesti unohtuu jo, miksi räiskitään. Rambo on syönyt kaurapuuronsa ja rynnäkkökivääreillä ei voi ampua yksittäislaukauksia."

"Rambo: First Blood Part II (George P. Cosmatos, 1985) "

“The first movie First Blood was a riveting survivor story and character study on a retired Green Beret questioning his existence. The sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II tosses aside the main character’s shellshock in favor of a crowd-pleasing, mindless, but fun action movie. John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is called into a mission from Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna) and Major Marshall Murdoch (Charles Napier) to find the possible remaining prisoners of war in Vietnam. Then, the Soviet troops, who are in cahoots with the Vietcong soldiers, kidnap Rambo, but that doesn’t stop our muscle-clad hero as he escapes and returns the POW’s back to the Colonel. Usually when a sequel is released, it performs extraordinarily well in the box office despite being a terrible movie. Similarly, Ramb” read more
